 You are looking at a used, 2003 Land Rover Discovery II 4.6L SE 
*Not Running*

NO RESERVE

I brought this vehicle just over a year ago and used it primarily for work as I needed the 4 wheel drive at the time. I got a deal on the vehicle as it required a replacement oil pump which I changed in April last year. I also installed a simple oil pressure gauge at the time (see images.)

Other than plugs and wires, I have done nothing more with the vehicle in the past year except regular oil changes.

There are NO issues with any of the options or features on the vehicle other than an intermittent fault on the central locking that annoyingly decides not to unlock the rear passenger doors sometimes. Everything else functions perfectly.

DETAILS OF ENGINE ISSUE    *This Vehicle Cannot Be Driven*

This Discovery was running until 1 month ago when on a short trip it blew a hole in the oil pan.
Obviously this means the engine no longer starts and needs repair or replacing.

Then engine does turn with the key to prove that there is not a seize, but no further examination or investigation has been done. I believe it has dropped a rod, but it may be more, or less serious. I saw no evidence of head gasket issues.

The power steering pump leaks, and I had recently purchased a replacement seal kit to rectify the problem, but the engine died before I got to it. I'll include the seal kit in this deal.

I also purchased two replacement cylinder heads which I intended to use when I broke down the engine for the oil pump issue, but I found it unnecessary. I will also include these two heads in this deal only IF the sale exceeds $800.00

All additional engine components are fully functioning to the best of my knowledge including Battery, Air/Con, Alternator, Water Pump etc.

COSMETICS.

The vehicle is in good shape, although I tend to not clean my vehicles as one should. There are no major and very few minor dents and dings in the body, and just a few minor scratches here and there. The old girl should clean up real good. The front bumper has damage in the center, but the rear is in excellent shape.
(See images for more info.)

The interior as the exterior needs a clean. If I'm honest I just don't have the time or inclination to deal with it right now. It isn't a mess, and has no major issues, tears, rips or damage, it just needs some time and effort.

As mentioned previously, there are no issues with power functions other than a slight problem with the central locking. All switches, lamps, Sound System, A/C etc are functioning.

All driving tires are inflated, but none are in great condition. The spare has a puncture, so honesty forces me to state that the vehicle will require a full set of replacement tires. (18" tires)

I think I've covered the important stuff here, but I'm fairly sure other questions will be raised. Please contact me for additional information if needed, but it would be much better to come and take a look at the vehicle if you are interested.

I'm not placing a reserve on this vehicle, as I've purchased a new vehicle and need this gone off my lawn! So it really is a bargain to anyone who want's the challenge or needs the parts.

No issues with title so an easy transfer - Local Pick Up only and the vehicle will need to be towed/carried away *This Vehicle Cannot Be Driven Away*
Cash , or Cashiers Check (Once cleared) Only please.

Sale must be completed within 7 (Four) days of end of auction.

Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.

Is 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.
