Up for bid is my Disco, which I have owned for just over 4 years and its been a great ride to have.  I have maintained her myself due to the high cost of the Dealership and other smaller shops without fail.  A friend in Colorado was going to take her, but his wife said no more trucks for him.


But now I've run into a issue(s) I can not overcome:

- She is overheating, even after I replaced her thermostat and she has been leaking antifreeze slowly overtime (only when engine has been running).  With the new thermostat she holds her temperature, but after 20-30 minutes she slowly starts to over heat.

- 1 car too many

- I no longer have the place to work on her due to some of the tenants in my garage abusing the privilege of being able to work on their vehicle on site.


I no longer have the time, or place to continue my adventures with her...sadly.  I'm not 100% sure what is wrong, it maybe another sensor or it may be a need for a head gasket change.  I believe I could fix her (even if head gasket issue), but as I mentioned I don't have my garage anymore, and even then...it's a big job to leave in a community garage.

The title is clean and I have it in hand.  I bought the vehicle with the knowledge that she had been in a fender bender a bit before I bought her.  The photos show the minor damage done to her bumper and the driver side front quarter panel.

The engine is strong, I don't drive her any further than inside my garage as I don't want to possibly damage anything else.  But before she overheated the engine ran strong without fail.

I really don't want to get rid of her, but the reasons above...one has to go with the addition of my motorcycle.  I recently added parts to her listed below.  I have receipts for all current purchased parts for the truck.

I am also selling a pair of rear oxygen sensors plus an uncut,unprogrammed new key fob.  See other items I am selling.  

Kelly Blue Book has this rover valued at $3,090 for private party at fair condition (which is the lowest). I am putting her at a low bidding start and no reserve for the overheating reason.

I have been fully upfront with the "major" issue with the Disco and have not withheld any information regarding the SUV.  If I think of anything else I will update as needed.

*Front fender (minor) damage

*Torn/Ripped leather seat(s) (Drivers side worn most, other is small)

I am also posting her locally and reserve the right to cancel my listing if she sales before the auction ends.

If the purchase is local and the the transaction will be in person, either cash or a cashiers check will be accepted at a bank of your choosing, if you don't have one, then at my local bank.  Title will be given at that time.

Please provide your own means if you need help transporting the vehicle.

I will not part the vehicle out.  If she doesn't go with a sale I will donate her to charity.  I rather have cash in hand, but a tax deduction works just as well.  But I know she  still has loads of life to her.

Please make sure you ask me any questions before bidding as she is "AS-IS" and all sales are final.

Jaguar Land Rover UK factories could shut down in two weeks due to coronavirus

Tue, Feb 18 2020

COVENTRY, England — Jaguar Land Rover has enough parts from China to maintain its British production for the next two weeks but not beyond that at the moment, Chief Executive Ralf Speth said on Tuesday. Britain's biggest carmaker, which operate three car factories in its home market, joined major global companies such as Apple in warning of the impact of the virus on supply chains. The rapidly spreading virus has killed nearly 1,900 in China and stricken some 72,000 people, confining millions to their homes, disrupting supply chains and delaying reopening of factories after the extended Lunar New Year holiday break. "We are safe for this week and we are safe for next week and in the third week we have... parts missing," said Speth when asking about the potential impact on British production. He said the firm's Chinese factory would open next week and was "safe for the very first week." Sales were not currently happening in China and it was unclear when they would return, he added. The boss of Tata Motors, JLR's parent company, speaking at the same event, said the company does not have sufficient visibility regarding parts suppliers from China. "We are safe for the month of February and for a good part of March," said Guenter Butschek. "Are we fully covered at this point of time for the full month of March? Unfortunately...not."

Jaguar Land Rover moves closer to building Slovakia plant

Tue, Aug 11 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has announced its intention to build a new assembly plant in Slovakia. Though it has yet to make the final decision, the British automaker has signed a Letter of Intent with the Slovakian government. Its next step is to launch a feasibility study before committing. If the company does go ahead with plans, it wouldn't be the first automaker – or even the first European luxury automaker for that matter – to start producing in Slovakia. Nor would it be the first Jaguar Land Rover plant outside the UK, either. The Volkswagen Group, PSA Peugeot Citroen, and Kia all manufacture in the Central European country. VW's Bratislava plant in particular handles production of the Touareg, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne. In the past few years, JLR has expanded its production capacity to new locations outside of the UK. It has a new factory in China, one under construction in Brazil, and has been manufacturing in India – home country of its parent company Tata – since 2011. It recently announced a manufacturing contract with Magna Steyr in Austria, and is investing in its facilities back home as well. Though yet to be finalized, the prospect of manufacturing in Slovakia has proven more favorable to JLR than other locations in Europe or in the United States or Mexico – all possibilities that the company says it looked into. It has yet to reveal just what it would produce there, saying only that "the plant would manufacture a range of aluminium Jaguar Land Rover vehicles," that the plant would be earmarked to come online in 2018 and eventually ramp up production to 300,000 vehicles. The prevailing wisdom would seem to indicate, however, that the site is being considered for the next-generation Land Rover Defender.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
