2003 Land Rover Discovery S Needs Engine Rebuilt on 2040-cars
Baldwin, Michigan, United States
Up for sale is my 2003 Disco 2.. It is your basic "S" trim, Clean. Everything works to my knowledge, minus the engine which is removed and included. Does not have sunroofs, but could be easily installed (they use the same as a Disco 1). I bought it with an unknown engine problem as a project. Myself and a knowledgable mechanic removed the engine to find that it had suffered from the fatal "oil starvation" disease, common for the 2003-2004 Disco's due to a bad sensor. Time went by and I lost intrest in it. Engine is removed and related components are boxed up, ready for pickup. Engine is partially assembled for transporting. Has not been driven in the last year, so will need an overall inspection (brakes etc) once engine is replaced. Has a slight lift, thanks to old man emu shocks (sorry, I dont know the exact height). Body is in good shape for a 10 year old vehicle. What rust is on the undercarriage is not that bad for a 10 year old Michigan vehicle, and not very flaky. I sprayed it with a rust killing paint when I first bought it last year, but could use a wire brush and some undercoating. The window bar on the rear passengers side door has rusted, but can be easily replaced. To my knowledge, all that is needed (not counting an engine rebuild) is a rear window wiper, and two small plastic pieces that allow the fuel door to latch. The plastic license plate bracket is broken also, but not a major issue. This thing will make an awesome off-roader once finished (this is not my first Discovery). Shop Manual on CD and several new engine parts (gaskets and bearings) also included. Please ask any questions you may have and let me know if there is anything I can help with. My number is 231-878-0233, please leave a message and I will contact you as soon as I can. Thank You! |

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.
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.
These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let'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.
