2003 Land Rover Discovery S Needs Engine Rebuilt on 2040-cars

US $2,600.00

Up for sale is my 2003 Disco 2..  It is your basic "S" trim, Clean. Everything works to my knowledge, minus the engine which is removed and included. 

Does not have sunroofs, but could be easily installed (they use the same as a Disco 1).

I bought it with an unknown engine problem as a project.  Myself and a knowledgable mechanic removed the engine to find that it had suffered from the fatal "oil starvation" disease, common for the 2003-2004 Disco's due to a bad sensor.  Time went by and I lost intrest in it.  Engine is removed and related components are boxed up, ready for pickup. Engine is partially assembled for transporting.  Has not been driven in the last year, so will need an overall inspection (brakes etc) once engine is replaced.

Has a slight lift, thanks to old man emu shocks (sorry, I dont know the exact height).  Body is in good shape for a 10 year old vehicle.  What rust is on the undercarriage is not that bad for a 10 year old Michigan vehicle, and not very flaky.  I sprayed it with a rust killing paint when I first bought it last year, but could use a wire brush and some undercoating.  The window bar on the rear passengers side door has rusted, but can be easily replaced.  

To my knowledge, all that is needed (not counting an engine rebuild) is a rear window wiper, and two small plastic pieces that allow the fuel door to latch.  The plastic license plate bracket is broken also, but not a major issue. 

This thing will make an awesome off-roader once finished (this is not my first Discovery).   

Shop Manual on CD and several new engine parts (gaskets and bearings) also included.

Please ask any questions you may have and let me know if there is anything I can help with.  My number is 231-878-0233, please leave a message and I will contact you as soon as I can.   

Thank You!

Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Jaguar 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 opens new engine plant in the UK

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
