1997 Land Rover Discovery I

Gold with Beige interior (leather). Starts, runs and drives. Cold A/C. I have purchased this Disco with the intention of restoring it to its former glory. Unfortunately life changes and it has been sitting in the yard for months now – untouched. The battery went dead, but with a jump it started right up and I took it around the block to make sure all still works.

 

Here is what I have done:

·         Replaced all 4 shocks and mounting;

·         Repaired and repainted roof;

·         The 2 moonroofs operating cables were worn out, so I took them out and sealed both shut. The motors do work, if you want to make them operable again;

·         Installed new starter;

·         Installed new battery (has since died, as noted above);

·         Installed new AC fans (in front of radiator). They are not original, but work perfect;

·         Completely cleaned and flushed radiator;

·         Replaced bottom radiator hose;

·         Installed new gasket at exhaust.

·         Installed new lock and key at gas lid;

Here is what I know:

·         Car had accident in passenger front side. The bumper is slightly bend back, but does not impede driving;

·         Electric works (Ac, lights, switches, etc. only item I have noticed are the door sensor for the cabin lights. The lights work with on/off switch;

·         Missing passenger seat switch;

·         Driver side switch works, but not mounted tight;

·         Cover for speedometer/RPMs cracked. I have glued it back together…but you see the cracks;

·         Passenger side back door window has been sealed shut by previous owner. Motor works, my guess is a loose anchor;

·         Windshield is loose at passenger side and needs to be resealed. Water comes in during heavy rains. I have it under a cover for now;

·         Tires are in good condition but there are3 different types on the car. I was planning on replacing them once ready for the (off)road;

·         Rear door has separate key that broke off. Door operates fine;

 

I am not a mechanic and the above is what I know/have done to the best of my knowledge. Finish the repairs or use it for parts. This is auction is as is/no warranties. Please feel free to ask any questions. I will be happy to take any additional pictures on request.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

As 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.

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The 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 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."
