2003 Land Rover Discovery Se Sport Utility 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Marshfield, Massachusetts, United States

Hello Bidders. I am selling my personal Land Rover Discovery 2. I have owned this car 7 years and it is my daily driver. I am the second owner. I bought the car in Connecticut when I lived there from the original owner. I purchased the car with about 73,000 mi on it and it now has 145,000mi. It has served me well, but now my needs have changed, my kids are out of the house, and I am down sizing. I have been religious about oil changes and maintenance. The car is very dependable. Anyway here is the good and the bad. Good: I had the engine "resealed" by the Norwell Land Rover Dealer at a cost of about $7000 at 113,000mi. This entailed taking the heads off, shaving them and installing new head gaskets, and replacing all associated gaskets on the top of the engine. During the last few years the dealer has also changed the throtle body to the new improved " no leak" unit and they have also replaced the leakey power steering unit and hoses. Cost about $3000. These are 3 common problems with the car, they are all fixed. The Rover is in great shape as you can see by the pictures. The leather seats have no tears in them. The body has no rust. The dash has no crackes. The CD player and tape player works well. The A/C blows cold. The heated windshield is awesome. As you can see in the pictures I had an altercation with a snow bank which left a small dent in the front fender and cracked the front right bumper cover. The car has great pick up and the German ZF transmission works like it is brand new. I do not think it shifted any better when it was new. It is the same unit in many bigger BMWs. The 4 wheel drive is flawless as is the low gear 4 wheel drive. I have only used the low gear a couple of times. I have also replaced 4 rotors and all brake pads a few years ago, recent inspection shows 50% left on the brake pads. The tires are all good Firestone all weather tires. All hoses, serpentine belt, and the thermostat, and the water pump were replaced within the last 2 years. I have all the records of this work and the Norwell Land Rover Dealer records as well as some Connecticut records from the previous owner. This Discovery has passed the tail pipe emissions of Connectidut inspection, and has passed Massechusets inspection in January 2014. It has always passed inspection and I have all the records. The Bad: The 3 amigos, as they are called on the internet, have reared thier ugly head. They are the traction control, abs and down hill desent, and brake light. So the Webco ABS unit has to be replaced or rebuilt. The parts can run anywhere from $100 to $500 depending how you want to do it. Having said that I drive the car every day and the brakes work fine, there is just no ABS. These lights just went on last month and I do not want to deal with it. I have driven the car from Boston to NY twice as well as to Maine since the ABS stopped working. There is no brake fluid leak, and it stops straight. I can assist with any method of shipping at your cost. You are free to inspect the vehicle as you wish. It is sold as is. Please no scams. There will be no second chance offers, that is a scam. I do reserve the right to sell it locally. Thanks, and good luck bidding. |

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
Second 'No Time To Die' trailer drops with lots of crunching metal
Thu, Sep 3 2020The second trailer for the new James Bond film, "No Time To Die," was posted to social media Thursday morning, getting us thoroughly hyped for the forthcoming installment thanks to some spicy car content and lots of other ridiculous, big-budget action sequences. Fair warning for the purists: This might contain plot- and character-related information from the trailer itself. Also, it appears that many Land Rover Defenders died in the making of this film, so the footage may not be for the faint of heart; don't say we didn't give you advance notice. As is typical of Bond films, most of the automotive eye candy is of the European variety. The classic Aston Martin DB5 gadget car (which we saw doing some crazy machine-gun donuts in the first trailer) makes yet another appearance, as does what appears to be fourth-generation Maserati Quattroporte. There's even something which might be a car, but also appears to be both some sort of airplane and submersible. Never change, Bond. We love it. And then there are the Defenders. We've got Defenders speeding down hillsides, Defenders crashing through forests, Defenders flying over Land Cruisers. Yeah, do you like Land Cruisers? There's a Land Cruiser. It even (spoiler alert!) survives relatively unscathed; the same cannot be said for most of the automotive shenanigans we get to see here. "No Time To Die" was originally slated to debut back in April, but its original release date roughly coincided with the projected peak of early coronavirus infections. Given how important the Bond film franchise's continued success is to MGM (it's virtually the only thing the studio has had going for it for 30 years) and the producers (who only make Bond films), meager box office returns were not an option. The last film, Spectre, pulled in the worldwide gross of $880 million, including $200 million in the United States and $83.5 million in China. The wait is almost over. "No Time to Die" will hit theaters Nov. 25 in the United States. Related Video:
Land Rover Defender V8 vs. Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 | V8 4x4s square off on paper
Thu, Feb 25 2021Land Rover pulled the sheet off its 2022 Defender on Wednesday, introducing another high-performance V8 to the off-road segment. This time, it's a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 boasting 518 horsepower. It will be available in both the Defender 90 and 110 models. In the former, Land Rover says it can crack off a 0-60 run in just 4.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 149 mph. The long-wheelbase 110 will be a bit slower, but "slow" probably isn't the right adjective to use here at all. But Land Rover isn't the only automaker offering a high-performance variant of its off-road SUV. While Jeep may have been sneered at for presenting the 2021 Wrangler Rubicon 392 on the heels of the 2021 Ford Bronco's introduction, it starts to make a lot more sense in this context. There's reportedly a high-output Bronco on the way, too, so call Jeep the dinosaur of the group all you want, but you can't put a price on being first. Well, you can, actually, but that's not the point. Thankfully, both Land Rover and Jeep have provided enough specs for us to rough out a comparison chart. Since the Rubicon 392 is offered only in four-door guise, we're looking at the long-wheelbase Defender 110 as its direct competitor here. Have a look: There are a few caveats to mention off the top. For starters, we don't have an official curb weight for the V8-powered Defender yet, as Land Rover has not finalized its U.S. specs. We used the European figures (as provided by a spokesperson), which we expect to be accurate within about 50 pounds. The 0-60 time provided by Land Rover was for the Defender 90, which is smaller and somewhat lighter than the 110. When equipped with the inline-6, the Defender 110 is about a tenth of a second slower to 60 than the Defender 90, so we figure it should be roughly the same for the V8. While the Defender has nearly 50 horsepower on the Wrangler, that advantage disappears thanks to the Land Rover V8's monster weight penalty, which will fall somewhere between 600 and 700 pounds depending on equipment. Yikes. On the flip side, however, the Land Rover has the edge in top speed, and it's not even close. Chalk that up to the tires, we suspect. We know for a fact that the Rubicon 392's all-terrains dictate its speed limiter; Jeep's own engineers told us as much. This could make for a (hypothetically) interesting drag race, as the Jeep's advantage off the line may evaporate once triple digits come into play.
