2000 Land Rover Discovery Series Ii Sport Utility 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Orlando, Florida, United States
|
I bought this navy blue Discovery in Orlando, FL. with 26,000 miles on it over 10 years ago. It currently has 109,850 miles, but the engine has only 62,000 (see details below). It has been upgraded substantially during the time that I have had it. You will see below that I have WAY over spent on this truck, but it was intentional and has always been a hobby that I enjoy and I am well aware of the value and following of these vehicles having owned 2 of them in a row since 1999. Factory options: 5 disc CD changer, dual sunroofs, 18" alloy Hurricane wheels, automatic transmission, all time 4-wheel drive, ice cold A/C, full leather interior with power seats, keyless entry, roof rails, fog lamps, rear wiper, cargo bins, multiple 12V ports and original Land Rover owners manual, tool kit, tool kit bag & wheel lock case. Upgrades: Installed a 4.6 liter V8 with 62,000 miles from a 2004 Discovery ($5,000) by C&H Land Rover specialists in Orlando, FL., Brush guard with dual Hella lamps ($900), 2-1/2" Old Man Emu lift kit and brand new shocks ($850), 32" Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires ($1,250), LR wheel lock kit ($145), heated seat kit ($179), rear hydraulic step ($129), 3M arctic blue camouflage body wrap on roof ($650), LR rubber floor and cargo mats ($300), new window tint ($200), tow package wiring harness ($100). Recent work: new brakes, new hood latch assembly, new full rain gutter system replacement, new A-pillar cover replacement on drivers side, new B-pillar covers replaced on both sides, new headliner and sunroof replacement (plus clean out of roof drains), recent oil & filter change, rotate & balance of tires, new wheel alignment, new steering wheel horn buttons, new wiper blades, new LR center hub caps, new LR key fob for keyless entry (also have hard key spare) and new driver side window regulator. All of the items listed here have completed within the last year with costs exceeding $3,000. Work needs: The steering wheel has some wear at the 12 o'clock position and the steering wheel volume control button needs to be replaced. There is a split in the passenger side front leather seat that is along a seam, and another split that is not. The paint has some minor fade on the drivers side door sills, but I was told by a local paint shop it can be buffed back The truck has been used as a 3rd car for all of its life. The overall condition of the truck is very good, with the mechanicals being considered excellent and no accidents. ALL repairs have always been completed with genuine OEM Land Rover parts. It's a unique vehicle and a real head turner when driving...lots of pics taken at red lights. Contact me with any questions. |

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?
Wed, 16 Oct 2013The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.
