This is a 2003 Landrover Discovery II SE with the typical mileage for its age (137,000 miles). It has been meticulously maintained with Mobil 1 synthetic oil every 5,000 miles, since it was purchased by me in 2006 with 47,000. I am an aerospace engineer and mechanic, so I have done many things to keep this truck in top-notch shape. This Landrover has had love and maintenance second to none during its time with me. Here is a list of items which I have replaced over the past two years: intake manifold gasket, radiator hoses, power-steering pump, waterpump, belt tensioner pulley, serpentine belt, both coil packs, spark plugs, wires, and the typical tires, brakes, and rotors (new pads as of 9/20/12). As for Landover’s being expensive or troublesome, I proactively replaced the front driveshaft (known to go bad) with an upgraded serviceable drive shaft (equipped with zerk fittings for greasing). The driveshaft I purchased came from (http://www.driveshaftpower.com/), and I will say the new one is stronger and a well engineered. If you choose to, you can read more about that issue here (http://www.insideline.com/land-rover/discovery/land-rover-recalls-some-1995-04-models-because-driveshaft-may-detach.html), but as you can see they only just released this recall...mine was replaced two years ago. In addition to the driveshaft, Landover’s also suffer from a poorly designed ABS system. The system shares a set of common components (wheel-sensors), so if one is malfunctioning then chances are all three will not work, and boom…your stuck with the notorious "3 amigo lights" (ABS, TC, HDC). This truck has had this system issue resolved, which can be seen here in option B (http://www.landroverclubvi.com/abs-mod.html). This Discovery has no lights illuminated, and is in 100% mechanically sound condition. If you’re shopping around for Discovery II’s, use this one as the “bar”. Moreover, none of this maintenance or modification has altered any of the stock form or function of the truck. It has all been done over the years for shear durability, reliability, and drivability. The only maintenance done the shop was the intake manifold gasket, because if there was a post procedure leak, I wanted to be able to take it back. The transmission fluid and flush I had done at the Landrover dealership (once at 50k, and again at 100k). The truck is equipped with a towing hitch, trailer wiring, a 6 disk changer, heated seats, and many more creature comforts of a Landrover. It is white with tan leather and black carpeting inside, has no rips on the seats, no dents (there is a small ding from a kid on a bicycle on the passenger side rear door, but was so unnoticeable, I never had it repaired), or major scratches. It does have typical age type weathering, the headliner has had a small stain in the corner from the sunroof leaking once or twice (forgot to close it). The seats are great (with exception to the one rear seat has a small stain), but all-round this trucks interior is in excellent condition for used SUV. It’s a great truck in winter for snow, but also has ice cold A/C and 2 sunroofs for summer. I am selling the car because I purchased a new car for my wife, and I have another car. Yes, I am an aerospace engineer and I am meticulous with my stuff, which is why this truck still runs and drives perfect...it just needs a new home. If interested email with questions or concerns.
