2003 Land Rover Discovery Se Sport Utility 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Marshfield, Massachusetts, United States
|
Hello Bidders. I am selling my personal Land Rover Discovery 2. I have owned this car 7 years and it is my daily driver. I am the second owner. I bought the car in Connecticut when I lived there from the original owner. I purchased the car with about 73,000 mi on it and it now has 145,000mi. It has served me well, but now my needs have changed, my kids are out of the house, and I am down sizing. I have been religious about oil changes and maintenance. The car is very dependable. Anyway here is the good and the bad. Good: I had the engine "resealed" by the Norwell Land Rover Dealer at a cost of about $7000 at 113,000mi. This entailed taking the heads off, shaving them and installing new head gaskets, and replacing all associated gaskets on the top of the engine. During the last few years the dealer has also changed the throtle body to the new improved " no leak" unit and they have also replaced the leakey power steering unit and hoses. Cost about $3000. These are 3 common problems with the car, they are all fixed. The Rover is in great shape as you can see by the pictures. The leather seats have no tears in them. The body has no rust. The dash has no crackes. The CD player and tape player works well. The A/C blows cold. The heated windshield is awesome. As you can see in the pictures I had an altercation with a snow bank which left a small dent in the front fender and cracked the front right bumper cover. The car has great pick up and the German ZF transmission works like it is brand new. I do not think it shifted any better when it was new. It is the same unit in many bigger BMWs. The 4 wheel drive is flawless as is the low gear 4 wheel drive. I have only used the low gear a couple of times. I have also replaced 4 rotors and all brake pads a few years ago, recent inspection shows 50% left on the brake pads. The tires are all good Firestone all weather tires. All hoses, serpentine belt, and the thermostat, and the water pump were replaced within the last 2 years. I have all the records of this work and the Norwell Land Rover Dealer records as well as some Connecticut records from the previous owner. This Discovery has passed the tail pipe emissions of Connectidut inspection, and has passed Massechusets inspection in January 2014. It has always passed inspection and I have all the records. The Bad: The 3 amigos, as they are called on the internet, have reared thier ugly head. They are the traction control, abs and down hill desent, and brake light. So the Webco ABS unit has to be replaced or rebuilt. The parts can run anywhere from $100 to $500 depending how you want to do it. Having said that I drive the car every day and the brakes work fine, there is just no ABS. These lights just went on last month and I do not want to deal with it. I have driven the car from Boston to NY twice as well as to Maine since the ABS stopped working. There is no brake fluid leak, and it stops straight. I can assist with any method of shipping at your cost. You are free to inspect the vehicle as you wish. It is sold as is. Please no scams. There will be no second chance offers, that is a scam. I do reserve the right to sell it locally. Thanks, and good luck bidding. |

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia
Tue, 11 Dec 2012The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.
Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts
Thu, 24 Apr 2014With most recalls seemingly affecting mass-market vehicles, it'd be all too easy to assume, consciously or otherwise, that higher-end automobiles never face such issues. But the main reason we don't see the NHTSA recalling more luxury automobiles isn't because of their quality, we'd postulate: it's because of their relative scarcity.
Take Jaguar Land Rover, recalls of whose vehicles we only seem to have cause to report about once a year. So if you're figuring they're about due, here you go. The Indian-owned British auto group has just announced two recalls, both regarding suspension components: one affecting Jaguars and another concerning - you guessed it - Land Rovers.
First up we have a recall for 2013 to 2014 model year Jaguar XJ, XF and XK models - a whopping 297 of them - which have been found to have problematic toe links. Separation of the toe link from the rear sub-frame could result in impaired stability and control over the vehicle's direction, so JLR is calling them in to replace the nuts and washers on the rear toe links.
Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
