See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Excellent shape for a Disco! Minimal wear on driver's seat, one minor crease (no paint damage) in bodywork by right rear lights, some evidence of paint touchup from previous owner, no accident history or evidence of any rust."

You're looking a really strong, low-mileage Disco II, where all the typical maintenance issues have already been addressed.  In the past two weeks this truck has had:


Full transmission fluid replacement
Full brake fluid flush
Full coolant flush
Engine oil & filter replaced
New air filter
New power steering pump & fluid, plus new O-rings on the lines

And within the past six months, it's also had:

Throttle body coolant adapter plate replaced
Fuel vapor evaporative purge valve replaced
New pollen/dust air filter element under the hood (the long skinny one that most people ignore)
New oxygen sensor (Sensor 1, Bank 1; the other 3 all test out fine)
Replacement neutral safety switch (rivets failed on the first one, allowing water and gunk to get inside)
New 4-wire trailer harness adapter from Atlantic British
New retainer pin on driver's door strap
Various new finisher caps on wiper cowl & front seat armrests
In-dash vehicle-specific phone mount from ProClip USA -- you can buy a fitted cradle for your particular phone
New latching fitting for under-hood battery box lid
New press-pins for rear gate trim panel, and repair to moisture barrier underneath
New rear wiper arm
New wiper blades on all 3 wipers
Replacement gaiter/boot for handbrake
A replacement OEM in-dash CD player

It also has an add-on Bluetooth adapter from Grom Audio, which provides support for Bluetooth hands-free telephone use, Bluetooth streaming audio, and a standard aux-in audio connection and separate dedicated USB charging connector.  Note:  this replaces the factory CD changer, which is still mounted under the passenger seat but is disconnected.  

The truck comes with two correct OEM remote keys, one of which is brand new and hasn't been used since I bought it.  All owner's manuals are also included in their little pouch.

It has the correct OEM front and rear rubber floor mats, and a new rear rubber cargo mat from Weathertech.  Tires are Falken on/off-road, in good condition.  Factory tools are all present and in good condition, including the storage pouch, which has no tears or zipper damage.  I suspect most of the tools haven't been used.

The car runs strong, all the necessary OBD2 system monitors test successfully, there is no evidence of head gasket problems, and every item I previously noticed needed attention has been addressed.  

On the interior, the headliner is excellent, the seats are excellent, and I added the OEM heated seat switches and trim panel just a few months ago, so those work great as well.  All the power functions (seats, windows, mirrors, sunroofs) work great and at full/normal speed.  All in-dash switches, lights, and functions work 100%.

The correct factory retractable rear cargo cover is present, and I also have a hard-copy factory shop manual, two types of touch-up paint (a pen and a small spray can, both correct Oslo Blue), and an assortment of additional emblems and trim caps as spares.  For a bit of fun, I have Union Jack valve stem caps on the truck as well.  

SPECIAL INCENTIVE FOR BUY-IT-NOW!

If you hit Buy It Now, or the truck ultimately sells via regular auction at or above the BIN price ($9999), the winning bidder will receive the following additional items:

1)  Crossbars for factory roof rack
2)  Rear hitch-mounted aluminum cargo carrier, able to carry 500 lbs, plus a folding ramp if you wanted to load a lawnmower, wheelchair, or whatever else you have
3)  Rear hitch-mounted folding double bike-rack
4)  Awesome Smithsonian National Zoo vinyl-cling rear window sticker

That's easily another $600 worth of accessories.  

To be very clear:  none of these items will be included unless the truck sells AT OR ABOVE the original Buy It Now price.  If the truck is sent via transporter, rather than picked up in person, the rear seats will be folded down and these items will be stored in the back of the truck.  Neither the carrier nor the bike rack fit cleanly unless you first remove the spare tire, but they are just fine after that.  I will not give credit or otherwise discount the price in lieu of receiving those items; if you don't want them, I will keep them, but the price will stay the same.  

If the truck sells above reserve but below the BIN price, and you want any of these items, I will add them for $200 each (for items 1-3, or 4 if you insist), just let me know which ones you want.

Truck is still being driven occasionally so mileage will increase a small amount.

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.

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.

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.
