Description
2000 Land Rover Discovery 2 TD5 2. 5 ES Auto.
W242 JFX
Project car / spares or repairs. Runs/ Drives/ stops.
Located, Kirton End, near Boston, Lincolnshire, PE20, UK.
Owned for the last 7-8 years. Used as a workhorse vehicle, with occasional towing duties. Rear seats removed as I used it like a van. Rear seats included with the sale.
I was using this vehicle up until the MOT ran out. I have other Land Rovers, Which I am using now instead, So I think this is one too many I don’t need anymore. I will be sad to see it go, as it’s served me well.
MOT expired April 24. Some work may be needed for the next MOT, most likely.
These are old vehicles now, and they do need regular maintenance, diligent care to keep them going/ keep them on the road.
It’s probably better than a lot of them now this age and mileage. But certainly no show pony.

No doubt there’s other work done that I have forgotten about too, as there’s been so much of it. But they all need these jobs to keep them going. It’s a comfortable capable vehicle, with life left in it I believe. Ready for the next owner to take the baton. Work needed/ faults.

The front sun roof had started leaking again. I did try to reseal it a few years ago, but it’s started leaning again.
The Headlining is rough. Ideally should be replaced.
Drivers seat is ripped/ well used, as expected for this mileage.
The roof paint is poor/ lacquer going. Not visible on normal use.
There may be more welding needed soon on the chassis but this time around the shock mounts. It hasn’t broken, but the metal is looking thin/ fragile in places? This has not technically failed the MOT yet, but I think it might. Some small areas on the front floors may need welding soon too.
General underbody corrosion that could do with treating.
