2004 Land Rover Discovery 2

Introduction:

 

Your search for that perfect ’04 has ended!  The ’04 Discovery is the crowning achievement of the Discovery lineage with all of the advancements, refinements and heritage that you could hope for.  That said, I am thrilled to offer this excellent example to the “Rovering” community.  This particular truck, as you will read below, is at the top of its class with its RARE options package and COMPLETE servicing profile.  Previously owned by a Sony Record executive, no expense has been spared in making this one of the best ’04 Disco’s out there. 

 

Service and Reliability:

 

As factory a trained, certified technician gone independent, I pride myself on making sure that all of my client’s trucks and restoration projects receive the finest service with genuine parts and expert skill.  As this gorgeous truck stands right now, she is a thrill to drive and takes to the motorways at speeds over 100mph in total confidence with no shimmy, shakes, hesitations, or rattles of any kind.  She does not overheat, tic or stumble and the shift quality is excellent with no clunks or slap.  All windows, sunroofs, controls and options work as they should.  The following is a list of all of the servicing done to ensure that your ownership experience is as enjoyable as possible!

 

  1. Complete 3 angle valve job and head gasket service including: cooling system fluid flush and renewal, head gasket renewal, head stretch bolt renewal, intake resealed, valve covers resealed,  throttle body de-ice plate resealed, exhaust system resealed, engine oil and filter renewed.

  2. 30K mile interval service including: New spark plugs, New spark plug wires, New air element, New Belt, Differential fluids renewed, transfer case fluid renewed, transmission fluid renewed, all safety components inspected and adjusted to factory spec.

  7. Brand New Tires all around

  8. Brand New battery installed

  9. Premium Alpine Touch Screen DVD/HD/Radio entertainment center

Driving and Comfort:

 

As I previously mentioned, this vehicle was owned by a music executive and in a business where clout and presentation are everything, he has serviced and upgraded this truck accordingly.  One of the finest upgrades to this vehicle is the touch screen alpine unit.  The speakers have amazing concert quality sound and the luxury of touch screen function makes this vehicle feel as modern as what’s available in the showrooms now (the owner was enough of an enthusiast to know that original equipment has value and he saved the factory radio just in case the OEM equipment was desired).  Additionally, I cannot stress enough how CLEAN AND IMMACULATE this vehicle is.  The pictures speak for themselves, but the sense of newness is still in this vehicle.   The tires are in great shape and sit on 18” factory “Hurricane” style wheels.   The air conditioning is ice cold and responds immediately as well as the heat being all encompassing.   Around town in Beverly Hills, this vehicle is a total head turner and with all of its recent servicing and transmission in selectable “Sport” mode, I can leave even the new full sized Range Rovers in my dust when the light turns green.  On that note, the CDL function in this vehicle works perfect and velvety smooth – another ’04 ONLY achievement.  The ’04 ONLY instrument cluster owes its aggressive styling to the performance and engineering accomplishments of BMW, the company which owned Land Rover through ‘04.  Finally, one of my PERSONAL favorite options is the upgraded advanced headlight assemblies.  Not only do they project a beam pattern that was years ahead of its time, the lamp assembly itself includes two vertical amber side markers; a final nod to the Discovery’s heritage and evolution from the first Series Vehicles of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s.  With this truck having been put through our rigorous process, you get all of the performance, quality and heritage that is TRUE Land Rover pedigree.  There are no engine warnings whatsoever – and the illuminated cluster shows that all bulb check functions are intact and operable.

 

Purchasing, Perspective and why buy from ME:

 

KBB values this vehicle at $8000 in excellent condition, which it most certainly is in.  It’s value is set apart from the pack due to over $5000 of retail servicing to ensure reliability and enjoyment for the long-term.  Other sellers just wash and sell them… leaving you to deal with the maintenance... usually right around the corner.  When you buy a Land Rover from me… you are buying one of the most thoroughly prepared units available… after all, I have been driving, servicing and RACING them for over 10 years.  You have an opportunity here to pick up a great truck.  That being said, most of you are familiar with high performance automobiles and perhaps this will be a 3rd or 4th Rover for you.  They produce great results and require due attention to maintain performance.  While I have done everything possible during the time I have had this vehicle, it is not immune to maintenance needs and the new owner should be prepared to service it accordingly.  No older British Car can ever be considered perfect and you should not expect that.  In my opinion, this vehicle is a 9 out of 10 due to minor surface blemishes and normal wear and tear on an otherwise clean interior.  The seats are in great shape, are soft and resemble the wear of your favorite baseball glove.  While the vast majority of the drive-train has been serviced, you should still expect to see normal saturation and drips of surplus fluids such as AC condensation, engine oil, etc (I do not believe in “steam cleaning” engines just to make them shiny.  This hides the current working condition of the motor and can additionally damage engine management sensors).  While there are no leaks from this truck, I want to point out  a popular bumper sticker available from Atlantic British used among long-time Rover enthusiasts which says “If it doesn’t leak it’s not a genuine Land Rover!”  This expression illustrates well the patience and enjoyment REQUIRED by the do it yourselfer as well as the most discerning collector.  I encourage you to ask any and all questions NOW!!!  There is no question too small or obscure.  This vehicle is sold AS IS and I have done my best to reflect its current operating condition.  Anything that you may need more information about, now is the time and it is your responsibility to be satisfied before-hand!  Purchase of vehicle means satisfaction!!!  That said, as I am not a dealership, I do not offer any kind of warranty, HOWEVER, as a fellow Rover owner, enthusiast, and technician who races them, I have basic items readily available in the shop. So for example, if a switch goes out or a fog light gets smashed or you need an alternator, I am happy to accommodate you within a reasonable amount of time.  I do not set a time limit on what I consider “reasonable;” I will decide what is appropriate based upon your needs at the time as well as what I have available. 


Finally, the winning bid is THE ACTUAL PRICE OF THE TRUCK.  Please bid what you are prepared to pay ONLY.  Winning the auction does not mean you can negotiate the price and your win will subsequently be forfeit. 

 

I have sent Rovers as far East as Singapore, far west as the South Pacific, and as far south as Costa Rica.  One vehicle is even en route, being driven, to Antarctica via Tierra Del Fuego… having started his 15,000 mi + journey when I picked him up at LAX!    I say all of this because I believe in the lasting quality of the vehicles I prepare and every owner becomes a repeat and loyal customer.  Every other seller and everyone else, is just… well… everyone else…

 

This vehicle is a pleasure to drive, functions as it should and has my FULL CONFIDENCE to take you wherever you want to go.  There is no reserve so Good luck and happy bidding and HAPPY ROVERING!!!

Who picks car colors and materials? Designers like Hannah Custance

Tue, Dec 21 2021

As automotive journalists, we're often asked "how did you get that job?" People usually didn't even know you could do such a thing. In this 7 Questions series, we're highlighting other jobs in the automotive industry that you might not have heard about before. What do they do, how'd they get to do it and other questions about their particular corner of the car world. Slowly but surely, the automotive landscape is becoming more colorful. Look beyond the unrelentingly conservative palette of white, black and gray most buyers opt for and you'll see the increased use of exterior trim types beyond the usual chrome. There's gloss black, of course, but also other metallic finishes like gold or copper. Those can be found inside, too, where there's also an increase in colorful leathers and trims, innovative fabrics, new wood types and finishes, and greater creativity in general. So where is this change coming from? The answer is designers like Hannah Custance, the color and materials design manager for Jaguar Land Rover. Her team's latest effort is also its magnum opus, the 2022 Range Rover. Although saddled with the expectations that comes with one of the automotive industry's classic nameplates, the all-new Range Rover is also a celebration of cutting edge manufacturing and fashion-forward materials selection. We sat down with Hannah at the L.A. Auto Show to find out more about color and materials designers, how she ended up in the industry, and advice she might have for young designers out there. It has been condensed for brevity. Autoblog: What does a color and materials design manager to do?Hannah Custance: I basically look after a team of designers who design finishes for every A surface on the car. So, that could be exterior finishes. It could be interior trim materials, soft materials, hard materials, chromes, metals, woods, ceramic – that's one of the new ones – anything you can kind of touch and see is color material design. Autoblog: How early in the design process does your team become involved.Hannah: Right at the very start. In fact, we look at materials that don't have a product assigned to them or a car assigned to them. So, it takes actually a very long time for us to get materials approved and fully validated. We have to find suppliers that are willing to work in automotive and our test standards are incredibly high, some of the highest in the industry.

Jaguar Land Rover tech tracks brainwaves, heart, lungs

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has been on a bit of a tech kick lately, and its latest is called Mind Sense, which uses biometric sensors to monitor and enhance the driver's level of alertness. Jaguar is installing brainwave sensors adapted from NASA into the steering wheel of an XJ sedan, along with medical-grade heart and respiratory sensors in the seat. Together, the sensors would determine if the driver is focused on the road, dozing off, merely thinking about something else, or if the driver's stress level suddenly peaks. The system would enable the vehicle to better prepare for an emergency, or for a future autonomous vehicle to hand off control to a better-prepared driver where needed. At the same time, JLR is also working on an enhanced infotainment system designed to reduce the amount of time the driver's hands are off the wheel and their eyes are off the road. The system determines which control they're reaching for on the display and engages it while their finger is still in mid-air, deploying an ultrasonic pulse to provide artificial haptic feedback without actually having to touch anything. Finally, a new haptic accelerator pedal is under development that could alert the driver to respond to an impending situation without overloading the senses with chimes and beeps. These latest developments follow the demonstration of a remote-control system installed on a Range Rover Sport, and follow in a long line of new technologies under development by the British automaker. JAGUAR LAND ROVER ROAD SAFETY RESEARCH INCLUDES BRAIN WAVE MONITORING TO IMPROVE DRIVER CONCENTRATION AND REDUCE ACCIDENTS - Jaguar Land Rover's pioneering Mind Sense project is researching measuring brainwaves to monitor driver concentration in the car - Researchers are developing a Wellness Seat in a Jaguar XJ which analyses the driver's heart rate and breathing to monitor driver health and stress - Touchscreens that predict which button you want to press as the user's fingers are in mid-air - to minimise time spent with eyes off the road - Jaguar Land Rover researchers use new haptic accelerator pedal to communicate hazards to the driver Whitley, UK: Jaguar Land Rover has revealed a range of new road safety technology research projects that are being developed to reduce the number of accidents caused by drivers who are stressed, distracted and not concentrating on the road ahead.

Land Rover wins legal battle over Evoque clone Land Wind X7

Fri, Mar 22 2019

Luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, part of Tata Motors Ltd, said it won a case in China against local rival Jiangling Motors Corp for making cars that copy features of Range Rover Evoque. Beijing Chaoyang District Court said on Friday that Evoque, whose latest model was launched in 2018, had five unique features that were copied directly in the Land Wind X7 built by Jiangling Motors, leading to widespread consumer confusion. The court ruled that all sales, manufacturing and marketing of the Land Wind X7 must stop immediately and Jaguar Land Rover be paid compensation. The two sports utility vehicles have a similar shape, with the roof and windows tapering from front to back, and near-identical tail lights and character lines on the side panelling. Britain's biggest carmaker had sued Jiangling in a rare move in 2016. Despite widespread and often blatant copying, global automakers generally don't take legal action in China as they feel the odds of winning against local firms are low. Also, a lawsuit can be bad for branding if the Chinese public think a foreign company is bullying domestic competitors. The new Range Rover Evoque will be launched in China in April 2019. Jiangling could not be immediately reached for comment.
