Well I really hate to do this, but I need to sell my 1996 Land Rover Discovery SD7. My work hours have been cut and my commute is up to 55 miles a day due to a recent move. I just can’t justify/afford having three 4x4 vehicles anymore, so this one has to go.

This Disco has been one of the most enjoyable vehicles I’ve ever had. It’s very comfortable and drives extremely smooth! It’s also been one of the most reliable vehicles I’ve ever had; been driving it to work every day with no problems whatsoever. It also does NOT leak! It is a California truck with NO rust anywhere. The truck currently has only 102,000 miles on it. It is an SD model with no sunroofs and no power seats.
I’ve done a lot of preventative maintenance and upgrades to the truck also, mainly because I planned on keeping it for a long time, and the fact that I’m a bit OCD

. It runs and drives perfectly! I wouldn’t hesitate driving this truck anywhere.

What has been done:

~87,000 miles: Defender brake upgrade with New calipers, pads, and rotors. New rear pads. New Genuine Fuel Pump. New Water pump with coolant flush.

~89,000 miles: New Sears Diehard Platinum battery ($175.00), New Kingsborne 8mm spark plug wires ($35). New power steering fluid. Change front and rear differential oils to Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil. Added magnetic drain plugs to diffs. Change transfer case oil.

~90,000 miles: New Bilstein shocks ($350), New engine oil cooler lines ($110), Change engine oil -15/40 Rotella. New fuel filter. Rebuilt rear driveshaft with new rotoflex and U-joint. New rear suspension ball joint. Fresh one-shot grease in swivel housings.

~93,500 miles: New Cooper AT3 tires -215/85R-16 ($800) with new Defender steel wheels ($430) and Genuine Steel lug nuts ($60). Change engine oil -15/40 Rotella. New spark plugs. Transmission drain & fill with Mobil 1 synthetic ATF.

~94,000 miles: Complete cooling system flush and overhaul; all new radiator and heater hoses, new thermostat, new coolant reservoir and cap, and brass radiator plug. New motor mounts.

~97,000 miles: Change engine oil – 15/40 Rotella

~98,500 miles: New Terrafirma heavy duty steering rods with new tie rod ends ($200). New OEM rear springs ($100). New pan hard bar bushings. 5 tire rotation. Front end alignment. New OEM mud flaps.

~100500 miles: Change engine oil – 15/40 Rotella. Transmission drain & fill with Mobil 1 synthetic ATF.

I’m probably missing a few things in my list, but as you can see I’ve done a lot to the truck. Its ready to go, nothing is needed!

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.

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.

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
