2003 Land Rover Discovery HSE7 4WD

This 2003 Land Rover Discovery HSE7 4WD has 136,562 miles on it. We bought it in September 2012 and since then have put a new radiator in the engine, replaced the lower radiator hoses, put new brakes and rotors on the rear tires, and replaced the valve cover gaskets on the engine. Total spent from October 2012 to February 2013 was $2,037.45. We also added a new battery in June.

Our mechanic said that the eighth cylinder has no compression so the engine needs an overhaul...either a new engine or a rebuilt engine.

The Land Rover is in excellent condition everywhere else. The leather is in great shape, it's clean, has two jump seats in the back that fold down and to the side. The second row folds down so you can haul things around. It's got power everything: seats, windows, heated seats, Harmon Kardon sound system, navigation, and has cold AC and AC vents in the second and third rows. It features huge cup holders which I loved, a middle cup older in the second row that folds up for a third seat if needed, and it has the full tow package. Another cool feature of the Disco is the cushioned step on the back of the truck that allows easier access to get in the back for those sitting back there.

It also has two sun roofs that work just fine.

It will start and drive, but it's best not to take it too far due to the engine situation.

Kelly Blue Book lists this vehicle as $9,100 in working condition and $7,700 when it needs mechanical repairs.

Jaguar Land Rover and Chery investing in Chinese plant

Sat, 24 Nov 2012

While the European auto market for Jaguar and Land Rover is waning, Chinese car buyers can't get enough of the British marques. To meet that demand, Tata Motors, parent company of Jag and Land Rover, is partnering with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile Co.
The two announced plans to invest $1.75 billion to build a new plant and create a new, China-focused brand. 2014 is the target for completion of the factory. Jaguars and Land Rovers built at the facility will be the first ever produced outside the UK according to the Associated Press. The JV will be called Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company Ltd.
The announcement comes less than a month after JLR announced it would open a design studio in China. It's not clear from the reports whether the two announcements are part of the same JV or two separate plans.

This Or That: 1987 VW Vanagon Syncro vs. 1987 Land Rover Defender [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

As I scoured auction sites and classified ads for the perfect vehicle to take into battle with Autoblog Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, I knew I needed to find something unique. You see, I'm currently 0-2 at winning a round of This or That, in which two of our editors agree on a category, choose a side, and argue it out over a (mostly) friendly chain of emails.
The first time we did this, my chosen Fiat 500 Abarth took about a third of the popular vote in our reader poll. The second time, my lovely 1980 Oldsmobile 442 did just a little bit better against a 1989 BMW 635 CSi. Despite holding the opinion that my automotive choices, though perhaps a little bit more... obscure than my fellow editors, are still better, an outright win would go a long way toward boosting my vehicular self worth a few notches upward.
With all of that out of the way, even if three isn't my lucky number after all, I go into battle against Brandon knowing full well that I've made the perfect choice: A 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro. My rough-and-tumble van/'ute has a formidable opponent in the form of a 1987 Land Rover Defender, which, truth be told, is exactly what I was expecting from Turkus, a self-proclaimed Rover aficionado.

Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
