 You are looking at a used, 2003 Land Rover Discovery II 4.6L SE 
*Not Running*

NO RESERVE

I brought this vehicle just over a year ago and used it primarily for work as I needed the 4 wheel drive at the time. I got a deal on the vehicle as it required a replacement oil pump which I changed in April last year. I also installed a simple oil pressure gauge at the time (see images.)

Other than plugs and wires, I have done nothing more with the vehicle in the past year except regular oil changes.

There are NO issues with any of the options or features on the vehicle other than an intermittent fault on the central locking that annoyingly decides not to unlock the rear passenger doors sometimes. Everything else functions perfectly.

DETAILS OF ENGINE ISSUE    *This Vehicle Cannot Be Driven*

This Discovery was running until 1 month ago when on a short trip it blew a hole in the oil pan.
Obviously this means the engine no longer starts and needs repair or replacing.

Then engine does turn with the key to prove that there is not a seize, but no further examination or investigation has been done. I believe it has dropped a rod, but it may be more, or less serious. I saw no evidence of head gasket issues.

The power steering pump leaks, and I had recently purchased a replacement seal kit to rectify the problem, but the engine died before I got to it. I'll include the seal kit in this deal.

I also purchased two replacement cylinder heads which I intended to use when I broke down the engine for the oil pump issue, but I found it unnecessary. I will also include these two heads in this deal only IF the sale exceeds $800.00

All additional engine components are fully functioning to the best of my knowledge including Battery, Air/Con, Alternator, Water Pump etc.

COSMETICS.

The vehicle is in good shape, although I tend to not clean my vehicles as one should. There are no major and very few minor dents and dings in the body, and just a few minor scratches here and there. The old girl should clean up real good. The front bumper has damage in the center, but the rear is in excellent shape.
(See images for more info.)

The interior as the exterior needs a clean. If I'm honest I just don't have the time or inclination to deal with it right now. It isn't a mess, and has no major issues, tears, rips or damage, it just needs some time and effort.

As mentioned previously, there are no issues with power functions other than a slight problem with the central locking. All switches, lamps, Sound System, A/C etc are functioning.

All driving tires are inflated, but none are in great condition. The spare has a puncture, so honesty forces me to state that the vehicle will require a full set of replacement tires. (18" tires)

I think I've covered the important stuff here, but I'm fairly sure other questions will be raised. Please contact me for additional information if needed, but it would be much better to come and take a look at the vehicle if you are interested.

I'm not placing a reserve on this vehicle, as I've purchased a new vehicle and need this gone off my lawn! So it really is a bargain to anyone who want's the challenge or needs the parts.

No issues with title so an easy transfer - Local Pick Up only and the vehicle will need to be towed/carried away *This Vehicle Cannot Be Driven Away*
Cash , or Cashiers Check (Once cleared) Only please.

Sale must be completed within 7 (Four) days of end of auction.

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant

Sat, 24 Nov 2012

While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.
