2000 Land Rover Discovery Series Ii Rooftop Tent, Full Rack, Awning, Adventure!! on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
Priorities have changed, so it's time to let go of our nice 2000 Land Rover Discovery Series II with a number of excelent upgrades, specially for the adveturer type.
YES, this car has over 230.000 miles. Let me tell you a little story. I bought the car from a gentlemen who said had bought the car with about 40K miles and drove it for another 185K. The car was in such good shape that I decided to purchase it regardless. I had plans to do a TDI transplant, so the high mileage of the engine did not concern me too much. Soon I was installing the expedition accessories, like rooftop tent, dual battery, etc. In the meantime I used the car wiht its original gas 4.0 V8. I have driven the car for about 10K without a single hiccup. So I wondered: why spend over $10K doing the transplant if it's working perfectly fine. You got my point. The facts: The engine has high mileage but burns no oil, no crankcase pressure, etc. Leaks the smallest amount you can think of. This is my 4th Disco and this is the one with the least leaks by far. Previous owner did a head rebuild at around 170K and a complete engine re-seal at 210K. Work was done at Miami Rovers, where the car is currently serviced regularly. Last service about 200 miles ago. Transmission shifts perfect. Low and High work as they should. Brakes are good. E-brake needs adjustment. The dash shows 4 malfunction lights. 3 of them have the same source, which are the traction control, downwill and ABS. One of the ABS sensors is bad. Computer does not tell you which one it is....ABS still works fine in 3 of 4 wheels. Check engine light goes on and off. O2 sensors replaced recently. In any case this is an emissions related fault. Again, engine performs perfectly fine. Electrical is near perfect. There is nothing I know of that does not work other than the horn (blows the fuse). Features a dual battery with automatic disconnect solenoid. Second battery is sealed AGM. All accessory lights work with original switches in the dash, no weird cutouts or funky toggle switches. This is also true for the rear LED worklights. Interior is in fantastic shape. Leather seats have no rips, tears, etc. Protected with all-weather fitted seat covers by Lucky 7. All controls work as they should. Dual sunroof, both working with their respective sunscreens. Central lock, courtesy lights, power windows (two motors with control boxes just replaced), etc all work. Stereo is factory with CD changer. Fully functional. Harman Kardon audio package. The body is in great shape after 14 years of service. There is no visible rust I could notice other than a 1" surface stain under one of the window's gasket. Tires are of an unknown brand to me, but full size and matching. About 65% thread left. As far as accessories: Full lenght roof rack purchased less than 2 years ago brand new by Voyager Racks (ex Rover-Racks). Model is "offroad". Light brackets welded at factory. This rack is massive xHD. Powder coated. Rack lights are Hella Rallye. Bush guard lights are Land Rover OEM Safari lights. Worklights are Rigid Industries LED's. Rear access ladder also by Voyager Racks (much sturdier than OEM). Also powder coated. Rooftop tent by Tepui tents in CA. This is my 2nd Tepui and is an excellent camping platform. Ive never had one single problem with the tent, no leaks, etc. Ventilation is superb. Built in mattress is very comfy (even my wife says so!). The tent has a telescopic aluminum ladder, which is attached to the floor of the tent and aids in the opening and closing of the tent. It also features a fantastic lower enclosure (annex) with it's own waterproof floor, windows, mosquito netting, etc. Look them up online. The model in this D2 is the Autana. Pictures of the rooftop tent deployed as well as awning with enclosure are identical as the one in this vehicle. Those pictures are from my previous vehicle (a 2003 D2 Drive Around the World series if you wanted to know. Yes, I miss that car!!!). On the LH side of the rack you'll find a matching awning from Tepui. I also have a full mosquito enclosure for this awning. Front OEM bush bar in good condition. OEM running boards installed 2 months ago. Rear OEM light protectors. OEM dog guard less than 1 year old. In the pictures you will notice an number of personal accessories that are NOT inculded. But I'm using this car almos daily, so I will not remove any of these until the sale is finalized. Again, this is a great vehicle that is ready to hit trails or go on an expedition right now. Fuel up and go! I have tried my best to represent the car in an honest way. No known defects I am not disclosing. FL clear title in hand tomy name. As far as conditions for this sale: No warranties implied or expressed. Bidders with less than 2 pos feedback contact me before placing bid. I will cancel bids until you do so. I can assist buyer with shipping. All related expenses to be paid by buyer. Car is located in Miami, FL 33133. If you want to see the vehicle and do a test drive do it so BEFORE you bid. Bring your mechanic, friend, etc, no problem. As a matter of fact I strongly encourage bidders to see the vehicle before bidding. Once you win the auction the car is yours! No time to do inspections then. $1000 deposit to be made immediately after auctio ends. Balance in cash, WT or cashiers check from a US Bank with branch in Miami, FL. If you want to use CC or Paypal to pay for the whole car check with me to discuss details. To arrange for a viewing or test dirve call me at 786-999-4811 Leo. Car is parked during work days in Key Biscayne, FL 33149. BIN price is attractive for this kind of package, and reserve price is very reasonable. Car is being offered for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early, as long as the reserve has not been met. Thanks for watching and happy bidding! |

Jaguars and Land Rovers to feature in 007's Spectre
Mon, Feb 9 2015James Bond may be more closely associated with Aston Martin, but Jaguars and Land Rovers have featured in 007 movies new and old. Skyfall, the most recent installment in the series, opened with Bond and Moneypenny ripping through the streets of Istanbul in a Defender and saw M being chauffeured around London in an XJ. And the upcoming feature Spectre is set to feature some of JLR's finest as well. While Bond himself will be piloting the new Aston Martin DB10, the movie will also feature a Jag and a couple of Landies. The Jaguar C-X75 concept, as we know, will be part of a chase scene against the DB10, now revealed to be set in Rome. But the movie will also include the new Range Rover Sport SVR (with what looks like some auxiliary lighting) and at least two Defenders modified by JLR Special Operations to "Big Foot" specifications with 37-inch off-road tires, upgraded suspensions and added bodywork protection. As you may recall, a couple of months ago a fleet of nine vehicles used in the film were stolen from a garage in Dusseldorf, including five Range Rover Sports. This is the first confirmation we're seeing of any of them being SVR models, or of the Big Foot Defenders being part of the mix as well. The scenes including the Land Rovers have already been filmed in Austria, and we're looking forward to seeing them all on the silver screen come November.

Jaguar Land Rover's latest tech makes roads safer for bikes [w/video]
Tue, Jan 20 2015Safety in automobiles isn't just about protecting the occupants anymore. It's about protecting pedestrians who might be struck by an automobile, and as Jaguar Land Rover is demonstrating, it's about protecting cyclists as well. The latest experimental safety system from the British automaker is called Bike Sense, and it builds upon technologies the company has demonstrated recently, taking them a step further to make the road safer for those riding on two wheels. The system uses a combination of colors, sounds and vibrations to alert the driver of a potential hazard that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. Demonstrated on an XJ sedan, the system identifies nearby two-wheeled vehicles as pedal-powered or motorized, and alerts the driver accordingly. If a cycle is passing a the vehicle's blind spot, the top of the seat will vibrate to virtually "tap" the driver on the left or right shoulder, prompting him or her to look over that shoulder for the hazard. LEDs inside the cabin will then illuminate amber to red in the direction that the bike is passing. The system will even chime a bicycle bell or motorcycle horn as the two-wheeled vehicle approaches, and vibrate or stiffen the accelerator pedal if the driver keeps moving towards the obstacle. And if an occupant of the parked vehicle starts to open the door into the path of moving vehicle, it'll flash a light, sound an alarm and even vibrate the door handle to warn the occupant of the oncoming hazard. We could imagine the alerts getting a little distracting, but JLR says the system is designed to prioritize potential hazards when their are groups of pedestrians, bicyclists and/or motorcycle riders on a busy urban street. This is, of course, just the latest in a long string of new systems JLR has under development, following such technologies as the Transparent Bonnet, the Smart Assistant, the Virtual Windscreen for track sessions and the 360 Virtual Urban Windscreen for city driving.

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
