Meet Clarke, he is a 12 year old Land Rover Discovery 2 that is in need of a good home. He was born in England then decided to live in Sunny Florida for a good portion of his life before moving to the Northeast. He was dealer serviced ifor the majority of his time on the road, and is one of the most reliable vehicles we have ever owned. We purchased Clarke in December of 2010 with just over 100K on the clock, and chose this model because it has the more reliable 4.0 liter engine. (4.6's tend to blow up their oil pumps) This truck has been truly great to us, pulling us out of deep snow, hauling seven passengers to the beach in style and comfort and has been fantastic as a second vehicle when we have needed the extra space. I am a European car nut, and I maintain my vehicles to go for 200K or more sparing no expense. As such, I know this vehicle inside and out unlike most of the used car dealers that you find on here. As far as can be told, this truck has never been in an accident or used off road. I can attest that this vehicle runs extremely smooth, burns/leaks no oil, has good head gaskets, shifts correctly, has iced cold a/c and hot hot heat, and every feature works as it was designed. In some cases even better than when it left the factory. Unfortunately, it is time to say goodbye to our beloved Rover. WIth the purchase of a home comes many expenses, and a second vehicle does not work into the plan at the moment. This vehicle includes all of the standard SE-7 features including dual sunroofs, rear a/c, heated front seats, rear air suspension, rear jump seats with drop down step. We added a Kenwood BT 901 head unit in conjunction with the Phillips/Lear amps and speakers. This system integrates Bluetooth, backup camera and iPod/flash drive/Pandora capability with the steering wheel controls. It is also wired for Sirius satellite radio, but the receiver/interface is not included in the sale.I also had Bi-Xenon 6K headlamps installed along with Hella 550 fog lights. What good is a Land Rover that hasn't been loved and taken care of? Below is a list of the repairs that were done to this truck: Just prior to our purchase, the used car lot had the rear air suspension bladders and compressor replaced. 12/10- 101K Purchased, Oil changed with Mobil one,Plugs, air filter (OE) , PCV system serviced, throttle body cleaned, coolant flushed with Dex-Cool, throttle body heater replaced, upper radiator hose replaced (Dealer) , expansion tank hoses replaced, ABS shuttle with switches replaced, rocker arm cover gaskets replaced. 3/11- 105k, Oil change with Mobil One, OE Filter,5 new General Grabber A/T tires mounted and balanced, front/center/rear differentials serviced with Mobil One fluids, transmission serviced, driver's side window regulator replaced with updated, stronger part, Bi-Xenon headlamp kit installed, headlamps aimed, Hella 550 Fog lamps installed. 6/11- 107k, A/C system evacuated and recharged. Needed .5 pound of refrigerant, R/FT door lock motor replaced 8/11- 108k, Power steering pump replaced- OE 10/11- 110K, Oil change with Mobil one and OE filter, tires rotated and balanced. 12/11- 112K L/R door lock actuator replaced, Watts linkage bushings replaced, front springs, Bilstien shocks (all 4), steering damper, wheel alignment. 7/12- 115K, Oil change with Mobil one and OE filter, Front brake pads and rotors replaced with Akebono Ceramic pads, rear rotors turned and Akebono ceramic pads installed, brake fluid flushed, ABS Hydraulic unit rebuilt with Falconworks shuttle valve seal kit and PC board wiring update performed for redundant ground, tires rotated, 12/12- 118k, Serpentine belt and tensioner replaced. 3/13- 120K- Oil change with Mobil one, OE Filter, tires rotated. 9/13- 122K- Lower intake manifold gaskets,(leaking oil) top engine decarbonized, throttle body and pcv service, ignition coil and spark plug wires replaced, thermostat replaced, cooling system serviced with fresh dex cool,r/ft headlamp washer nozzle installed, oil change with Mobil one and mobil one filter, new headliner, parking brake boot, Center diff lever boot, all wiper blades.The bad: The body has accumulated a number of door dings and the hood has a few "bird stains" that have burned the paint. The front bumper has some damage around where the left front fog lamp would be, and the rear bumper was damaged slightly on the right rear corner. We bought the truck this way, and I opted to go with the Hella Fog lights instead of replacing the bumper. A lot of Rover nuts cut this portion of the bumper when they lift it. The cowl has some of the usual Rover cracking as well. The vehicle is pre-wired for a heated windshield if you decided to upgrade in the future. This is an early build vehicle with the much sought-after CDL, but I do not have the lever installed. I manually locked the diff when the snow was really deep a couple times and this thing is unstoppable when it is locked. The kit for the CDL can be found online for around $500 if you want to install it. I was planning on doing that this fall. The bumper mounted tail lamps have the usual Rover cracking, but nothing major. Ther is some minor surface rust on the rear crossmember and radiator support, but no perforation anywhere. The leather on the steering wheel upper portion is a bit worn. The truck comes with two brand new keys that are cut but not programmed, for a total of three keys/remotes. As of right now, the truck needs nothing. Please remember that this is a twelve year old vehicle, but I have done my absolute best to represent it fairly and do everything in my power to make sure it is safe and reliable. You are responsible for making shipping arrangements. I will do my best to make be accommodate your shipping company.
