Hello. Stop everything you are doing. This is the most important ebay ad you will read today; indeed, the most important one you
will ever read. In fact, when, as an elderly person, you look back upon
your life, you will regard the moment you started reading this ad as the
most consequential single instant in your entire life. Not only do you
owe it to yourself to read this ad, see the truck I am selling, buy it
from me, and give me an above market price, but you owe it to your
country, countries, or status as a stateless person (my condolences),
and to the god, gods, or lack of god that you do or do not believe in
(happy holidays). Failure to finish reading this ad will lead to the
premature death of you and all your loved ones.
No pressure. I am selling, and you should buy, a 2001 Land Rover Discovery II. Clear title in hand. It's Desert Tan Metallic. In order to truly understand the enormity of the moral and practical imperatives which make it an urgent necessity that you buy this car, you must first be apprised of information about the model, and about this car in particular. Before you do this, you must be immersed in the English culture from which the Disco originated. Please start playing some dignified Brit music. Now that you are suitably en-musiced, here are some important facts about the Discovery series: Discovery II's run and drive. This is not a property of an individual car, but of most Disco's as a group. Unlike most SUVs, the Disco was not built on an assembly line. They were constructed by hand, outdoors in the fog and rain, by teams of tall, bare-chested Brittish men who swung their tools in a synchronized fashion and chanted automobile-durability incantations in unison while they worked. This is the source of the Discoveries legendary durability. Unlike most cars, the Disco was not designed by professional automotive engineers. Instead, it arrived fully-formed as an inspiration in the mind of the designer while he was ambushed by a sasquatch and trapped under a pile of spotted dick in Downsford Abbey. After he was rescued by the English Bear Cavalry, he returned to work at Land Rover and transcribed, by way of yodeling, his vision onto paper. There are only three known ways to destroy a Land Rover Discovery: 1. Place it in the center of a gasoline tanker explosion and then crush the remains in a hydraulic press 2. Drive it into the fires of Mount Doom, if you are strong-willed enough to part with it. Destroying a Disco in this manner may result in the loss of a finger. 3. E-85 gasoline 4. Don't maintain it. Because the Discovery is the only car capable of withstanding a direct nuclear blast, and cockroaches are the only life form capable of surviving, in the event of a nuclear war, the earth will be populated exclusively by cockroaches driving Discos. You have been warned. When Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, God did not give them a car. But if he had, it probably would have been a Discovery. And if it had been, then it would probably still be running today. Maybe. I have owned this amazing specimen for two years. I bought it with 62,000 miles and paid $9,000.00. I immediately had a 60,000 mile service done at Green Oval Motors in Portland, OR. The plug wires were replaced, a MAF sensor and it got all new fluids. I replaced the wimpy and tired stock shocks with proper Bilsteins. Yes they are hello and that doesn't matter until you crawl under the car and see them in all their glory. All service records are available, along with oil change records since I have owned it. Shortly after the 60k service, the head gasket was done, also at Green Oval. (Cost $3K) I replaced the rear brake rotors and pads, put a new battery in her, and converted the crappy airbag suspension with coil springs. (No leaking airbags leaving you stranded) I have the stock alloy wheels as well as the steel Land Rover wheels with tires that have less than 10,000 miles on them. The tread is easily at 90 - 95%. It has right around 77,200 miles now and runs great. The milage may go up a tiny bit as I still sometimes drive the truck. Full Disclosure here. I am going to give you the bad along with the awesome. There is nothing that prevents the function and nothing at all serious. I believe in full disclosure and would love it if all car sellers were as honest as me. There is a small exhaust leak on the right hand side of the motor compartment near the header. If I can trace it, I can fix it. We'll see if I have time. Sometimes the air suspension warning light comes on. This is because it is trying to inflate air springs that are not there. It's a simple computer plug in / update that any certified Land Rover shop can do in about 5 minutes, telling the computer that there is no air suspension. The front brakes will probably need pads / rotors in about 10,000 miles. It's a very easy job and you can do it with a jack and jack stands. Because you have assimilated all the important information above, I assume you are now driven by a passionate urgency to purchase this car, and are making calling me your top priority. Fear not, as I am prepared to take your call at any hour of the day or night. Simply make sure you are sitting down, and call (503) 530-9425 with any questions you may have. |

Land Rover will downsize with a pair of hybridized turbodiesel sixes
Thu, Mar 26 2020Europe's automotive industry has ground to a halt, but the strict emissions regulations that went into effect in early 2020 are still looming on the horizon. Land Rover is preparing to launch a pair of hybridized turbodiesel six-cylinder engines in a bid to comply with the regulations and avoid paying huge fines, according to a recent report. British magazine Autocar learned Land Rover has applied the mild hybrid technology already offered on the Evoque and the Discovery Sport, its two smallest models, to a 3.0-liter straight-six to obtain 300 horsepower. The company will also release a more powerful version of the six rated at about 350 horses. The former will be available on HSE, HSE Dynamic and Autobiography Dynamic variants of the Range Rover Sport, while the latter will be added to upmarket models like the HST. The full-size Range Rover (pictured) will get them, too. The sixes represent a two-pronged approach to replacing the 4.4-liter turbodiesel V8 available in Europe, among other markets. It delivers 335 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque, and it sends the Range Rover from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds while giving it a 7,700-pound towing capacity. These figures are hard to argue against, but it's an older engine that's increasing the company's fleet-wide average emissions output, so it has to go. The mild hybrid system won't power either Range Rover on electricity alone, but it will make them cleaner and more efficient; losing a pair of cylinders will help in both areas, too. Although Land Rover hasn't confirmed plans to ax the V8 or launch a hybridized six, suppliers have started publishing information about the powertrain, so its launch is believed to be around the corner. Time will tell whether it will appear on the current-generation models or their replacements, which are undergoing shakedown testing globally and due out in the coming months. Sister company Jaguar will use the mild hybrid technology, too. The six-cylinder will find its way into the XF and the F-Pace, which are both expected to receive comprehensive updates before the end of 2020. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
