Reposted from "Retired" marketplace

Bought in Los Angeles in 2009 with ~40k on the clock, currently has 121XXX.
In July of 2017 The engine was diagnosed with a cracked block with ~99K miles. Rebuilt longblock from Turners (UK) installed along with all new hoses and sensors. Have driven it for over two years and almost 22k miles. These Turner engines are all I had hoped for. Just passed CA emissions. Doesn’t use coolant or oil. But, there is a little oil seepage from valve covers. Just to remind you it’s a Land Rover :-) No need to add oil between 3k Rotella 15/40 oil changes.


Bonatti Grey
Black leather
Dual sunroof model

Never taken to salty roads in the winter. Only real off roading was on half day Land Rover Marin sponsored trip on the Sonoma Coast.

Rust free always CA car- no snow trips to Tahoe.
Clean car fax, @ 99,500 miles -installed rebuilt turner long lock, all new engine accessories (motor mounts, front cover/oil pump, cam sensor, crank position sensor, tensioner, etc) 4900 British pounds for the block and oil pump alone (With sensors, etc I spent about $9k)
Rewrapped wiring harness, new coolant reservoir, new cowl, water pump, water temp gauge installed
Nice rumble from resonator delete

Dash started to warp, so installed hold-down kit
Pads and rotors @ 84k
Pirelli scorpions @ 70k
Toms woods front driveshaft
New radiator in 2017
Always used Rotella 15-40 since break in-180 degree thermostat at engine swap, gauge inside
New coil packs, wires, plugs
New park brake and 4wd shifter leather
Stainless brake lines
Pioneer head unit with apple/ google play with backup camera

Recent brand new tail light housings

There’s work to be done:
Headliner cloth starting to droop
Rear windows worked but do not right now
Drivers electronic seat adjustment not working at the moment
Wheel arches need refresh

Sunroofs don’t work when hot outside, so unplugged
Rear pass door seal has some wind noise at hwy speeds
Oil seeping at valve covers, no drips
Intermittent three amigos, haven’t had time to perform option B repair


Roof started showing signs of clear coat failure, so had a local auto wrap shop cover the roof in 3m white vinyl to cut down on summer heat and protect the paint, plus looks badass. Comes with a few backup parts from engine swap and a set of all weather mats, do not have cargo area. The drivers mat does have a crack at drivers heel though.

When engine first installed, blackstone showed high levels of lead. The levels have continually declined at every oil change. September oil change report attached.

I would drive this anywhere in North America without worry. Its in amazing shape for a 16 year old car, but has wear that you would expect.

I believe that when selling vehicles, that exterior shots should be after detailing and that engine compartment shots and under carriage shots should be as is.
