2004 Land Rover Discovery Se7 | 116k Miles on 2040-cars
Corona del Mar, California, United States
|
General Info: I am a late 20s landscape architect selling my Disco so I will have the cash needed to support myself for a few months while I grow my new business. I have owned this car since February 2011 and absolutely love it. It drives great, I feel very safe, it's stylish - classic yet hip, it holds the whole crew, reasonable insurance, the list goes on. I really hate to let it go but I feel having the cash would be more useful than having wheels at this point. But I can guarantee as soon as my business is off the ground, I will buy another '04 SE7 - it so great of a car I will always have one. As stated above, I have owned this Disco since 2011. At the time I was driving a 2010 Mercedes C300 manual. While it was a lovely car, I needed more space and knew if I was going to get an SUV, the '04 seven seater Disco would be my only choice. A Newport Beach resident, I scoured Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties in search of SE7's. I found a mere 10-15 options in all of Southern California. After driving to see each one of them in person, choosing this Disco to purchase was an easy decision. Most were in poor condition and being sold by tiny seedy "dealerships" in the not so nice parts of town. This one, however, was pristine and being sold by the Jeep dealership in San Diego a few miles from Pacific Beach. Once I found this beautiful example of a Disco, I drove the Benz back to Newport, parked it, took a $200 cab ride to San Diego, and bought the vehicle. For two and half years, I drove it to the office five days a week as well as around town and the occasional Palm Springs or LA road trip on the weekends. During that period I had no problems at all - mechanical or cosmetic. But then...here's the game changer...I started a furniture business on the side. Once I began transporting furniture in the Disco, it's condition went from "excellent" to "great" to now just "good". First, I cracked the windshield with a side table. Then I made a hole in the back inside plastic with an armoire. And just general wear and tear cracked one jumpseat back and detached another. In addition to the three "whoops" my furniture moving caused, there are two more. First, in late September, my neighbor hit the front bumper taking a chunk out of the top it in. Then, three days later, I backed into one of those yellow poles that protects mechanical equipment. That whoops cracked the bumper and shattered the plastic that covers the back brake and reverse lights. Fortunately, the only reason I would give this car a mere "good" rating is because of the minor cosmetic damage I caused. And this damage seems easily fixable. I called and both bumpers as well as the windshield can be fixed at your home - you don't have to take the vehicle anywhere if you don't want to. And the jump seats covers just snap back on. A little time and a few bucks and you could easily take this Rover back to the "pristine" condition it was in six months ago.
*I am a landscape architect, not an auto mechanic. I do not know anything about accessing vehicle condition. I do, however, know this car. It has been my daily driver for almost three years. I am familiar with the way it runs just as I am familiar with the way my own body runs. To me, it runs just a smooth as the day I got it and I foresee no immediate problems. But again, I am a not an auto mechanic. Condition (Cosmetic):

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
Jaguar Land Rover offers (some) detail about new Ingenium engine
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Jaguar Land Rover officially announced its Ingenium family of engines with the unveiling of the 2.0-liter version in the Jaguar XE concept at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it kept details very thin at the time. All we knew was that the new turbocharged mills could be configured to use gasoline or diesel, and be positioned longitudinally or transversely. Months later, JLR is finally letting some more info slip about its new baby, but there are still some big questions to be answered.
For the Ingenium project, Jaguar Land Rover gave its engineers a clean sheet of paper and told them not to worry about using any previous parts or machinery. In the end, the designers came up with a family of turbocharged, aluminum-block engines based around modular, 500cc cylinders to allow it to grow or shrink as the market demanded. The layout was also made adaptable enough to incorporate hybrid drivetrains, if needed. "Being configurable and flexible are the two key strands of Ingenium's DNA because we have future-proofed our new engines from the outset," said said Ron Lee, the company's director of Powertrain Engineering.
To maximize efficiency, Jaguar promises that all versions of the Ingenium engines come with computer-controlled, variable oil pumps and water pumps to use only as much energy as needed. They also get direct injection, roller bearings for the cams and stop/start. The diesel version alone has 17 percent less internal friction than the mill it replaces, the company claims. JLR is also promising class-leading figures for Ingenium's torque and horsepower too, but it's not giving away those specs just yet.
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.
