Hi I'm going to look a a discovery tomorrow have looked at a lot so far but not found one that was a safe choice as discoverys go (ie bad maintenance sagging head liners bad sunroofs) but going to look at this one that has been sitting for a couple years but was moved weekly and stored inside. This is what I know about it so far and was wondering if any one had suggestions on what to really look for in it seeing as I dont want some thing that will break down anf i will need to aircare

I have a 96 Land Rover Discovery 4X4 4.0 Liter V8. The SUV has 186000 KM's. The Rover has not been on the road for couple of year's, so will need some TLC, over the last month it's had new plugs, plug wires and a oil change done. Previous work done was new Cat, 02 sensor, shocks and the air ride suspension replaced and converted over to coil spring. Other work done was custom made rear bumper. The tires are about 40%, so I would replace them with a good set of off road tires. The Rover is Green with a tan interior, the front seat will need the bottom material repaired or replaced due to the leather splitting. The previous owner had rebuilt the front diff and installed a locker. I have today just installed a new battery. The Rover will need to be air cared. There is no rust in the body, but there are a few scrapes and a dent in the drivers door. This Rover is a SE 7, which is a seven seater. I'am asking $2250.00 O.B.O, the reason I'am selling the Rover is it will not seat 3 car
Here is a link to the pictures I revived

The rock fireplace/record player is an interesting mod...

 

Agreed.

 

Yeah sorry about. It was the pictures they sent me I think it's number 5/6/7 for the truck.

 

What does aircare or air care mean ? Air ride suspension ? Did any Disco 1s come with air suspension ? Why sitting around for a couple of years ?

 

What to look for when buying a Land Rover Discovery This is a very common question and also a very good one.

The Discovery series one (DI) ran from 1989-1999, US models from 1994-1999.
Pre-1996 models have the 3.9L V8 with a distributor, all models after that have the 4.0L engine and electronic ignition.
There are thee trim levels and all had the 7 passenger option.
Common DI problems are as follows.
Sunroofs not working due to bad tracks.
Power windows not working due to a bad window regulator, easy fix.
Rear windows not working due to a cracked window lift ECU, easy fix.
Power door lock actuators not working, easy fix.
ABS light staying on, could be a bad wheel speed sensor or a bad ABS modulator. Could be expensive or free to fix.
Center Differential Lock (CDL) lever being seized due to lack of use.
Cargo door not opening from the out side, pop the LR emblem off and lube it with silicone spray.

 

also make sure you have the money to do these things to bring your rover up to snuff

Air care is emissions testing in bc

 

Okay. I never would have guessed it, but it does make sense.

 

A good many Discos are sold with codes stored, but check engine light removed or in some cases painted over. So if no mechanic inspection, at least take your own code reader scanner, which will give you some idea of what is going on.
