Description
For Sale a V8 Manual Land Rover Discovery.
Covered just 108, 000 miles since new. Has some taseful modifications such as roof rack and spot lights. I have owned the car for 2 years and enjoyed it very much. I have never off-roaded it, only taken down some farm tracks. I have now changed jobs and will be doing more miliage so would want a car with air conditioning so the beloved Land Rover has to go.
The good:
Good service history
One year old Toyo All Terrain tyres all round including spare (best tyres this side of BF Goodrich)
One year old Bosch battery
New spark plugs
6CD autochanger
Working twin sunroofs that DO NOT leak
roof rack
Spot lights - currently without fuse as was causing a battery drain, should be an easy fix
Fog lights from higher trim model
Retro colour scheme
Working low range box - tested on road regularly to ensure moving well
Central locking
2 keys
MOT until Novemeber 2025
Good clutch and gearbox
Silky smooth engine
6 month old break discs and pads
LPG fitted but not used. Has two under floor LPG tanks. I disconnected this when I bought it as I don't like running an alluminium V8 on LPG. If you want the engine to last forever run on unleaded but if you want cheap fuel can be reconnected simply.
Car comes with a small range of spares from Britpart.
The not so good:
Sagging headliner normal for old Landies
standard age related marks on paintwork, occassional scratches
Nearside wing has light damage from disagreement with bollard (pictures show extent of damage)
Some areas of faided paint - previous owners have done a DIY job - can see all in pictures
The ignition key can be hard to pull out as it was replaced 2 years ago
Radio can take a while to come on
Minor oil leak normal for age of vehicle
No Air conditioning - Its not broken - it just was never fitted from new. This is the reason for sale
Missing bottle carriers on doors
One of the seats in the boot doesnt open very well.
