 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.

* A holding deposit via PayPal is expected and can be placed on this sale at end of auction to hold the vehicle for up to 7 days. (See Details in Payment and Shipping below.) *

Buyer must collect vehicle and remove from property within 5 (five) working days of the completion of the transaction.

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."

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.

Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
