Up for bid is my Disco, which I have owned for just over 4 years and its been a great ride to have.  I have maintained her myself due to the high cost of the Dealership and other smaller shops without fail.  A friend in Colorado was going to take her, but his wife said no more trucks for him.


But now I've run into a issue(s) I can not overcome:

- She is overheating, even after I replaced her thermostat and she has been leaking antifreeze slowly overtime (only when engine has been running).  With the new thermostat she holds her temperature, but after 20-30 minutes she slowly starts to over heat.

- 1 car too many

- I no longer have the place to work on her due to some of the tenants in my garage abusing the privilege of being able to work on their vehicle on site.


I no longer have the time, or place to continue my adventures with her...sadly.  I'm not 100% sure what is wrong, it maybe another sensor or it may be a need for a head gasket change.  I believe I could fix her (even if head gasket issue), but as I mentioned I don't have my garage anymore, and even then...it's a big job to leave in a community garage.

The title is clean and I have it in hand.  I bought the vehicle with the knowledge that she had been in a fender bender a bit before I bought her.  The photos show the minor damage done to her bumper and the driver side front quarter panel.

The engine is strong, I don't drive her any further than inside my garage as I don't want to possibly damage anything else.  But before she overheated the engine ran strong without fail.

I really don't want to get rid of her, but the reasons above...one has to go with the addition of my motorcycle.  I recently added parts to her listed below.  I have receipts for all current purchased parts for the truck.

I am also selling a pair of rear oxygen sensors plus an uncut,unprogrammed new key fob.  See other items I am selling.  

Kelly Blue Book has this rover valued at $3,090 for private party at fair condition (which is the lowest). I am putting her at a low bidding start and no reserve for the overheating reason.

I have been fully upfront with the "major" issue with the Disco and have not withheld any information regarding the SUV.  If I think of anything else I will update as needed.

I am also posting her locally and reserve the right to cancel my listing if she sales before the auction ends.

If the purchase is local and the the transaction will be in person, either cash or a cashiers check will be accepted at a bank of your choosing, if you don't have one, then at my local bank.  Title will be given at that time.

Please provide your own means if you need help transporting the vehicle.

I will not part the vehicle out.  If she doesn't go with a sale I will donate her to charity.  I rather have cash in hand, but a tax deduction works just as well.  But I know she  still has loads of life to her.

Please make sure you ask me any questions before bidding as she is "AS-IS" and all sales are final.

Here's today's round of auto plant closures in response to coronavirus

Fri, Mar 20 2020

More automakers have shuttered factories, as businesses everywhere work to slow the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus — and as the pandemic slows sales and disrupts parts supply chains. On Friday, the following closures were announced: • Volvo will close its factories in Sweden and the United States from March 26 to April 14. Volvo's U.S. facility, in Charleston, South Carolina, makes the S60 sedan. Its assembly plant in Torslanda, Sweden, turns out the XC90, SC60, and V90. Other Swedish facilities make engines and component parts. A Volvo factory in Ghent, Belgium, that builds the XC40 and V60 closed earlier this week and is expected to remain offline until April 6. Volvo's four factories in China have been reopened after a shutdown earlier this year. • Jaguar Land Rover announced that it will suspend production at its assembly plants in the UK over the coming week. The shutdown is expected to last until April 20. Elsewhere, production continues at the company's factories in India and Brazil, and JLR's joint-venture plant in China reopened at the end of February. • Bentley is closing its factory in Crewe, England, for four weeks, effective today. • Bugatti has put its atelier in Molsheim, France, on hiatus. No date was given for when assembly of its supercars might resume. • Mercedes-Benz on Monday will shut down its SUV factory in Alabama and its van assembly plant in South Carolina. Both will remain closed for a minimum of two weeks. Tesla yesterday revealed that it will suspend operations at its Fremont, California, vehicle assembly plant next week, on order from local officials there. Yesterday's factory closure announcements also included the U.S. assembly plants for Toyota (until April 6), Volkswagen (through March 29), Subaru (through March 29), and Hyundai (no time period specified). They join GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Nissan, and Harley-Davidson, which earlier this week announced the suspension of production at their facilities.

Jaguar Land Rover undergoes $3.2 billion turnaround plan as sales slump

Thu, Nov 1 2018

MUMBAI — India's Tata Motors on Wednesday announced a turnaround plan for its luxury car unit Jaguar Land Rover, which has been hit hard by trade tensions between China and the U.S., low demand for diesel cars in Europe and worries over Brexit. Under "Project Charge," Tata Motors said it plans to cut costs and improve cash flows at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) by 2.5 billion pounds ($3.2 billion) over 18 months. JLR also plans to launch several new vehicles, including the Jaguar I-Pace and the new Range Rover Defender over the next few years and will offer a hybrid or full-electric version of all its models by 2020. "Together with our ongoing product offensive and calibrated investment plans, these efforts will lay the foundations for long-term sustainable growth," JLR CEO Ralf Speth said after Tata Motors reported a quarterly loss. JLR has trimmed its pre-tax profit expectations for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, and expects to break even, Speth said, versus an earlier target of profit growth. As part of the turnaround plan, JLR will first focus on cash-saving "quick wins" like reducing non-product investments and speeding up asset sales, Tata Motors said in an investor presentation. In the near term it will improve efficiency in areas including purchasing and material cost, manufacturing, logistics and people, and will focus on strategic and non-core asset sales. JLR has already reduced the number of production days at its UK plants in Castle Bromwich and Solihull. The company said in its presentation it has saved 300 million pounds since it initiated the turnaround plan six weeks ago and is working on 500 ideas for the future. Tata Motors reported a loss of 10.49 billion rupees ($141.9 million) for the July-September quarter, compared with a profit of 24.83 billion rupees in the year-ago period. That was worse than the estimate of a loss of 2.40 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv data. JLR reported a loss of 101 million pounds during the quarter and its margin on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell 130 basis points to 9.9 percent. Retail sales of its Jaguar sedans and Land Rover sport utility vehicles (SUVs) fell 13.2 percent to about 130,000 units, hurt particularly by tariff changes in China and escalating trade tensions. Demand in China remained muted even after the country cut import tariffs for cars and car parts to 15 percent for most vehicles from 25 percent from July.

Land Rover will put a Covid-nuking air filtration system in future cars

Tue, Mar 16 2021

Jaguar - Land Rover (JLR) is developing an air filtration system that inhibits up to 97% of viruses and airborne bacteria. Designed like a face mask for your car's HVAC system, it's built on Panasonic's Nanoe X technology. Most of the company's models (including the Land Rover Defender) currently come equipped with Panasonic's Nanoe technology and PM2.5 filtration. Nanoe X is 10 times more effective, according to the brand, because it relies on a high voltage to create trillions of hydroxyl (OH) radicals enveloped in nano-sized water molecules. Think of them as Roman guards in front of a fortress: they keep the bad out, and ensure only the good can come in. Viruses and bacteria proteins are denatured when they come into contact with the filtration system, meaning they can't reproduce or grow. The OH radicals also zap common allergens and mold, but they're harmless to humans. JLR stressed it's not relying on computer simulations to decide whether its filtration system works as designed. It asked British laboratory Perfectus Biomed to perform a test that simulates a ventilation system in recirculation mode for a 30-minute cycle in a sealed chamber. The results were encouraging: 97% of viruses and airborne bacteria were nuked. The carmaker pointed out Panasonic's Nanoe X technology has been independently proven to inhibit 99.995% of coronaviruses during a two-hour laboratory test carried out by French immunology lab Texcell. Future models from Jaguar and Land Rover will use this technology, though a representative for both companies declined to tell us when it will reach production, and which nameplate(s) will inaugurate it. Meanwhile, Honda launched its own coronavirus killer across the pond. It's a cabin air filter sold as a genuine replacement part that consists of four layers, including one coated with an active substance of fruit extract that inactivates nearly 100% of the viral aerosols it captures. It's available in Europe through Honda dealers, but it won't be sold in America. Jaguar Land Rover
