            Remarkably clean 2000 Land Rover Discovery Series II. This is the second year of the Discovery Series II, SE model. It is fairly loaded with all Power amenities except DVD system. This Discovery also has dual Power sunroofs ( both work fine and DO NOT leak), roof bars and the factory Tow package ( although nothing has been towed). No engine issues or other drama. The powertrain runs GREAT. Additionally, it has fairly rare GRAY leather upholstery interior ( as opposed to the common tan), which offsets it very nicely with its original burgundy factory finish. ZERO RUST.

I believe in full disclosure to the best of my abilities. I purchased the DII from the original owner for the SD roof rack, which is a rare option that most people actually dislike. I have uninstalled it ( as most people are concerned about height clearances anyway), and I am listing it back for sale for a bit less than what I paid for it.  Therefore, it was NOT my mom's car, my wife's who drove it on the weekends or my grandma who drove it to church. I believe in being honest and upfront. 
That being said, the original owner provided me with an extensive pdf file of most of its service and repair history, which is nice to have.

This Land Rover is and has been a 100% rust-free CALIFORNIA CAR all of its life. It has been locally owned since purchased brand-new at Land Rover of San Jose in the south bay, and owned by the same person since. It was tapped once in the rear bumper area by a minivan ( it should be shown in the CARFAX report as well), and being still a fairly new Land Rover at that time, the insurance company paid a ridiculous amount to settle claim, hence it carries salvage title ( as it occurs when an insurance company pays a significant amount based on the value of the vehicle).

There are NO other accidents, repaints, or anything other than normal driving conditions around the Bay area, where it has always lived. There are NO signs or indication of damage anywhere on the body, other than the small crack on the plastic. Moreover, this Landie runs VERY well, tracks smoothly and drives very nicely both in town and in the highway.

All Power accessories work well, to include its ICE-COLD Air Conditioning system, both Power sunroofs, all Power windows, both Power seats, the cruise control, and all instruments and lights. There are NO service lights on ( NO TC, CHECK ENGINE, ABS or HDC lights turned off or reset). The DII has 167K original miles on the strong, reliable 4.0L engine. NO 4.6L engine nightmares here.

In addition, this one is also equipped with  the optional ACE  handling package option (Active Cornering Enhancement, an electronically controlled hydraulic anti-roll bar system, which reduced cornering roll).
It is noted by the original owner that there are extensive service records including recent maintenance and service going back to 2000, but as they were not present at the time of the listing, I am not stating their availability. Should he send them to me, I will gladly include them.

This DII had a new set of MICHELIN Latitude radials installed last year; they have at least 80% tread left.

Considering its vintage, This Discovery II is remarkably clean, and the photos do not do it justice~! The 2000 SE is one of the best years to own. It is turn-key, WITHOUT the usual head-gasket issues nor overheating, and it will make a great traveler or off-road trekker. In addition, it has had a full brake service performed about a year ago, and all-new radial tires in December.

The interior upholstery is in remarkable shape, with NO rips, tears or splits of the leather. The dash is mint, with no cracks or weathering. The carpets and all door panels are very clean, to include the rear cargo area. RARE gray leather interior upholstery, which offsets very nicely with its glossy factory burgundy finish. Absolutely ZERO RUST throughout the whole car.


Feel free to EM or call with pertinent questions or inquiries. I am a private seller, not some car dealer outfit, a used-car car lot, and MOST definitely not one of those sketchy types selling cars in a parking lot.

I have spent over 20 years in this great country's military and have owned Land Rovers of various types and vintage for nearly 35 years. I am well versed on all the Land Rover quirks and have assessed this DII as a VERY solid, straight and completely rust-free example of a Discovery. This Landie sits quietly in the driveway at my home, in company of my three other Rovers.

                     The Land Rover has always been a one-owner Land Rover DII since new, and has always been here locally. Honest CARFAX REPORT and original-ownership since new. NON-SMOKER, NO pets or children in it. Always adult-owned, and its condition reflects it.
Overall, a straight, good-running Discovery for a modest, fair price. Needs nothing and runs and drives very well. Serious inquiries please. 

I Shall be glad to assist with NATIONWIDE or OVERSEAS delivery at the most economical shipping rate available. I can do all coordination from here, and you pay the transporter cost directly to the shipper upon receipt of the Discovery.


              Should you be the winning bidder, we would like to receive payment within THREE business days, please. Cashiers check or Bank draft are preferred. Personal, business or annuity checks may be utilized, but must clear funds source prior to any transportation arrangements being made. Another option is a Bank wire transfer to our local CHASE Bank branch here in town. That expedites the process considerably and allows for faster shipping arrangements.

Upon receipt of payment, we will overnight the title, registration card, bill of sale and all service records to the winning bidder for your protection.


       Thank you for your interest~!

Jaguar Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Jaguar Land Rover officially announced its Ingenium family of engines with the unveiling of the 2.0-liter version in the Jaguar XE concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it kept details very thin at the time. All we knew was that the new turbocharged mills could be configured to use gasoline or diesel, and be positioned longitudinally or transversely. Months later, JLR is finally letting some more info slip about its new baby, but there are still some big questions to be answered.
For the Ingenium project, Jaguar Land Rover gave its engineers a clean sheet of paper and told them not to worry about using any previous parts or machinery. In the end, the designers came up with a family of turbocharged, aluminum-block engines based around modular, 500cc cylinders to allow it to grow or shrink as the market demanded. The layout was also made adaptable enough to incorporate hybrid drivetrains, if needed. "Being configurable and flexible are the two key strands of Ingenium's DNA because we have future-proofed our new engines from the outset," said said Ron Lee, the company's director of Powertrain Engineering.
To maximize efficiency, Jaguar promises that all versions of the Ingenium engines come with computer-controlled, variable oil pumps and water pumps to use only as much energy as needed. They also get direct injection, roller bearings for the cams and stop/start. The diesel version alone has 17 percent less internal friction than the mill it replaces, the company claims. JLR is also promising class-leading figures for Ingenium's torque and horsepower too, but it's not giving away those specs just yet.

Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."

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.
