If you've been looking for a clean and reliable Discovery with a complete service profile and distinctive features, this is the one! I have been preparing this one for over a month and i am proud to offer it to the rovering community. I believe this will make a GREAT 1st Rover, work truck, trail platform, reliable commuter or family car. Read on:
SERVICE:
- The heads and head gaskets were serviced by the previous owner at the dealer about a year ago.
- brand new battery
- new master cylinder fitted
- new brakes fitted
- oil just changed
- tranny, transfercase, differential and hub fluids all just changed and serviced
- new fuel pump, oxygent sensors and mass air flow sensor
- new high performance STI spark plug wires, air filter and spark plugs fitted
- does NOT leave oil on the driveway, HOORAY!
- no warning lights of any kind illuminated.
- auto locks and alarm still function!!!
DRIVEABILITY:
This truck has been my commuter for the last month - 75miles R/T in gruelling LA traffic and it drives beautifully. On the open road, it drives at 90mph like its on rails and the drivetrain is powerful and smooth. All comfort options such as windows, AC and HEAT all work perfectly. The clock and radio still light up - which is saying a lot if you know these things!!!
COSMETICS:
I have fitted a set of running boards and the rear lamp guards are intact and unspoiled. Additionally, I had an EXCELLENT set of "Lightstone" coloured seats and have fitted them for an appearence that is distinctive and truley classy. I have replaced the headliner and the interior of the truck feels clean, looks clean and smells clean.
Outside of that, this truck has been a pleasure to drive and I know it will last you for many years to come. The registration is current, it has passed california smog with flying colors and the title is clean and in my name so there will be no paper work surprises.
Overall, i would say this truck is a B+ in the cosmetic department. It is not a museum piece and you should not expect that. It is clean, straight and comfterble with its share of dings and wear, etc from a life as a trusty servant!!!
PERSPECTIVE:
This truck has had over $3000 of retail servicing done and you have the opportunity to walk away with a whole lot of car for the money! That said, as with ANY used car, you must be prepared to service it according to the factory requirements and as needed depending on driving style, conditions, etc. If you have ANY questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask. Now's the time and eBay even offers inspection services so the time to answer questions and be satisfied is now. Purchase of this vehicle means you have been satisfied. I am selling this as is with no warrantly - but as a fellow land rover owner and enthusiast, I have certain spares available so if, lets say, you get it and a switch goes out, or an alternator dies, etc within a reasonable amount of time, i will send what i have to you at my own expense. I want you to be HAPPY!!!
I feel like i have represented this truck accuratley to the best of my ability but again, if you have ANY questions, PLEASE ASK!!!
Thanks, happy rovering, and happy bidding!!!!

to answer a few questions that some have had in common:
- YES - it comes with the land rover bottle jack and handle
- NO - it does not overheat AT ALL
- NO - there are no suspension clunks... actually, i forgot to mention that there are 4 NEW OEM SHOCKS all the way around
- "Lightstone" was a color originally introduced on the 92 Range Rover Classic LSE model... later introduced as a 98 Discovery LSE edition ONLY. It is like a light cream.

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.
Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
Brabus takes on Range Rover Sport with Startech widebody kit
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Of all the tuners this side of AMG, none are as close to Mercedes-Benz as Brabus. After all, when Daimler needed a tuner to spruce up the Smart car, it was Brabus that it turned to. But Brabus tunes vehicles other than Mercedes - it just uses, let's call it, a pen name. It brands them Startech, like the widebody kit it's developed for the new Range Rover Sport and will present at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
The modifications center around the carbon fiber body panels Brabus (excuse us, Startech) has developed for the British sport-ute that give it over two inches of added width. The wider fender flares encompass 23-inch wheels that are forged, ceramic-coated, skinned with low-profile rubber and fitted to a lowered suspension. The front and rear bumpers have been redone in plastic and can be fitted with or without the wider fenders, and there's a three-piece roof spoiler at the back.
Startech is also offering an upgrade for the 3.0-liter twin-turbo-diesel V6 that squeezes out an extra 31 horsepower and 59 pound-feet of torque for a total of 323 hp and 501 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time from 7.2 seconds to 6.9. The German tuner also has a wide array of interior modifications on offer, details of which you can read about in the press release below and scope out in the high-resolution image gallery above.
