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 opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
Going high-tech, the 4x4 way
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
Jaguar Land Rover opens first overseas factory in China
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.
