1995 Land Rover Discovery Base Sport Utility 4-door 3.9l on 2040-cars
Franklinton, North Carolina, United States

I have owned my landy for years, keeping my baby meticulously cleaned and maintained. We've been through a lot together, but unfortunately my dad needs some unexpected surgery, and I have to sell her to cover costs :'(
The vehicle is in absurdly good condition, especially given its age. She doesn't have any of the 'typical' old car problems: the paint isn't faded, all of the electronics work (all power doors, windows, radio etc), the weatherstripping still seals, the air vents aren't broken, fuel system is in good condition (recently tested at ~35 psi), windshield wipers work etc. The engine is also extremely healthy – oil changed regularly and not even a vacuum leak. She starts quickly, idles at the proper RPM, and the V8 has all of the get-up-and-go for whatever you can throw at it. It is built like a truck; the GAVR for this vehicle is 7000 lbs, and she has a receiver for a tow hitch.
The brush bars are aftermarket, and the paint on those is fading a touch, but not noticeably.
Jobs performed recently include: Idle Air Control Valve replaced Distributor cap and wires replaced Gear oil changed on both front and rear final drive unit All driveshafts and u-joints greased All Door latch springs replaced Engine oil changed Rotoflex changed Starter replaced Battery upgraded Clutch master cylinder replaced and lines bled
The car has a few caveats: the spotlights on the brush bars were never wired, the AC charge is getting low, and the rear view mirror was removed. This vehicle has seen minor off road use, so there are imperceptible scratches and dings low on some of the body panels.
The spare tire is completely new, and there is also a spare rotoflex that I keep in the back, along with a proper bottle jack. Tread life remaining is estimated at about 30%. The tires are in decent condition and lose less than 2 psi per month. Though the acc belt is new, there is a spare in the back as well.
This is a serious listing – I put effort into this listing so that you can make an informed choice instead of wasting your time. Please do not waste mine - contact me only if you are as serious about buying as I am about selling. Test drives allowed only if cash-in-hand. |

Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
Jaguar Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Jaguar 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.
