1999 Land Rover Discovery 2 – 106K miles Featured with ACE, EAS, and Non SAI!!! Introduction:
This Rover KICKS-ASS! If you have been looking to get into one for the first time, or are the seasoned enthusiast looking for a fully kitted, fully serviced, ready for battle vehicle, then GET EXCITED MY FRIENDS, and get the gloves on because EVERYONE is going to want this truck! This truck is a one family client who has brought it to me for servicing over the years and recently decided to sell it to me as part of their plan to get an LR4… I have a lot to say about this truck so get ready:
Service and Reliability:
As factory a trained, certified technician gone independent, I pride myself on making sure that all of my client’s trucks and restoration projects receive the finest service with genuine parts and expert skill. The following is a list of all of the servicing done to ensure that your ownership experience is as enjoyable as possible – this has become my signature eBay service list:
OFF-ROAD GOODIES AND MORE:
If you haven’t noticed, this truck has it all, and looks as classy as it does tough. Here’s what it’s got:
Vehicle Driving and Features:
I want to talk about the factory features for a moment (that I mentioned in the title) as they make this truck TRULY SPECIAL. ACE – or Active Cornering Enhancement – Is an amazing feature on a Land Rover. It is an intuitive system that virtually eliminates all body roll on the truck. On the highway, take a long looping freeway interchange at 90mph… this thing corners as fierce as an F1 car… there is no typical “Rover Tip” with this truck. ACE is also an amazing feature off road because it acts as a hydraulically assisted dampner and rebound for your suspension. Meaning: when everyone else’s trucks are bouncing around on the trail with beers flying out of their cooler and into the great beyond, your ride is steady and controlled… and will be something your girlfriend or wife will appreciate. Next – Rear Air Suspension. This is AWESOME because while other trucks will squat down in the rear once loaded up for a trip, the EAS system automatically adjusts for a level ride height… ALL. THE. TIME. The same goes for towing. I don’t care what it is you load up on your toy hauler… the rear end on the truck will always adjust, keeping you in control and comfortable. Secondary Air Injection – or SAI – is found on most later D2 models… and anyone who has it will tell you… is over engineering that leads to parts which fail and require frequent service. Not having SAI on this truck makes it easy for the novice mechanic to perform trail repairs, without having to remove half the engine to change a spark plug!
The cabin is quiet and odor free. This was a NON SMOKER truck. The leather is in EXCELLENT condition and all plastics, rugs, mats are in GREAT shape.
Features aside, this truck is total class all the way and a pleasure to drive with OUTSTANDING road manners. Its tasteful modifications are with parts that enhance the vehicles performance and function. It is a CLEAN TRUCK and drives as you would expect from a well-loved, Single Family Land Rover with only 106K miles! As seen in the pictures, my baby’s car seat is still in it as my wife has been driving this thing every day. I hope that adds a little more insight into how safe and reliable this vehicle truly is.
Purchasing and Perspective:
If you brought this truck to me in stock condition, and did all of the servicing that I have listed, and added all of the accessories that this truck has you would EASILY SPEND $15K+ to build this truck. Here it is, ready to go, WHEREVER. WHENEVER. I do everything I can to ensure reliability and enjoyment for the long-term. Other sellers just wash and sell them… leaving you to deal with the maintenance – always around the corner and they know it! When you buy a Land Rover from me… you are buying one of the most thoroughly prepared units available… after all, I have been driving, servicing and RACING them for over 10 years. You have an opportunity here to pick up a great truck. That being said, don’t take it for granted that every Rover “is a tank.” They need to be maintained. They produce great results and require due attention to maintain performance. While I have done everything possible during the time I have had this vehicle, it is not immune to maintenance needs over its life and the new owner should be prepared to service it accordingly. No older British Car can ever be considered perfect and you should not expect that. In my opinion, this vehicle is a 9 out of 10 due to minor surface blemishes and normal wear and tear on an otherwise clean interior. The seats are in great shape, are soft and resemble the wear of your favorite baseball glove. While the vast majority of the drive-train has been serviced, you should still expect to see normal saturation and drips of surplus fluids such as AC condensation, engine oil, etc (I do not believe in “steam cleaning” engines just to make them shiny. This hides the current working condition of the motor and can additionally damage engine management sensors). I want to point out a popular bumper sticker available from Atlantic British used among long-time Rover enthusiasts which says “If it doesn’t leak it’s not a genuine Land Rover!” This expression illustrates well the patience and enjoyment REQUIRED by the do it yourselfer as well as the most discerning collector. I encourage you to ask any and all questions NOW!!! There is no question too small or obscure. This vehicle is sold AS IS and I have done my best to reflect its current operating condition. Anything that you may need more information about, now is the time and it is your responsibility to be satisfied before-hand! Purchase of vehicle means satisfaction!!! That said, as we are not a dealership, we do not offer any kind of warranty, HOWEVER, as a fellow Rover owner, enthusiast, and technician who races them, we tend to have basic items readily available in the shop. So for example, if a switch goes out or a fog light gets smashed or you need an alternator, I am happy to accommodate you within a reasonable amount of time. I do not set a time limit on what I consider “reasonable;” I will decide what is appropriate based upon your needs at the time as well as what I have available.
Finally, the winning bid is THE ACTUAL PRICE OF THE TRUCK. Please bid what you are prepared to pay ONLY. Winning the auction does not mean you can negotiate the price and your win will subsequently be forfeit.
I have sent Rovers as far East as Singapore, far west as the South Pacific, and as far south as Costa Rica. One vehicle is even en route to Antarctica via Tierra Del Fuego… having started his 15,000 mi + journey when I picked him up at LAX last November (he is doing GREAT btw!). I say all of this because I believe in the lasting quality of the vehicles I prepare. Everyone else, is just… well… everyone else… Don’t be fooled by the copy cats out there. If it’s not from me… it’s NOT FROM ME. Don’t settle for less.
This vehicle is a pleasure to drive, functions as it should and has my FULL CONFIDENCE to take you wherever you want to go. There is no reserve so Good luck and happy bidding and HAPPY ROVERING!!! |

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.
Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.
Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.
