Description:

I am selling my 2003 Land Rover Discovery 2. It has 190k miles. It has been a great vehicle, but it’s time to move on. It has been a staple old reliable vehicle in our family. When all other cars have broken down, she has been the one to stand up and be there for us. I built her with the intentions of taking it cross country from New Zealand to Alaska, but having kids has made that trip less likely in this vehicle. So I am selling it. I probably won’t be able to fit all the good things I can say about this vehicle and what I’ve done
with it, but I will try:

4.6L V8 engine. Rebuilt at 170k miles with many new parts and modifications.
 ENGINE
o Ultima yellow top battery.
o Cooling system completely overhauled to prevent overheating.
 185 degree thermostat (10 degrees cooler than OEM).
 New aluminum cooling components installed at all hose junctions.
 New cooling hoses.
 Temperature sensor installed in line at the hottest point of the coolant.
Sensor is on the Driver’s side A-pillar and much more accurate than the on dash sensor.
 All aluminum radiator.
 New cooling fan.
 New water pump.
 Custom switch installed in center console to activate cooling fans
manually should temperatures need it.

o Engine was meticulously cleaned in every pathway and every bolt before reassembly during rebuild.
o New timing chain.
o Cylinder heads were rebuilt.
 New valves, valve seals, and push rods.
 Resurfaced at a metal shop.
 ARP head studs installed for better torque being applied to the block.
o Oil pump rebuilt with new gears.
o New power steering pump.
o New fuel injectors.
o New spark plugs/wires/coils.
o New O2 sensors all around (OEM only. This engine DOES NOT like cheap parts. I have not skimped out).
o Refilled AC refrigerant just this 2022 summer.
o NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS! NO 3 AMIGOS! NO XYZ SWITCH ISSUES!
o Always driven with Premium gas.

 Preventative Maintenance

o Coolant flushed and replaced when new cooling items were installed in the last 20k miles.
o Differential fluids (front and rear), transfer case fluids, and transmission fluids all changed out in the last 20k miles. New filter installed in the transmission.
o PCV valve replaced with a more sturdy metal version. Didn’t need to, no issues, but I wanted a more reliable system.
o LED Headlight bulbs installed into the HID headlamps.

I have gone ON & ON and I still keep finding things that I’ve done and how much work I have put into this vehicle. I don’t want to keep typing. I will not hesitate to say I love this car. I have
had 2 of them, and I hate to part with her. But I am ready to move on to my next project and I want her to find a loving home to go to next. I am ready to answer any questions you want, tell you any stories of trips I’ve taken her on. Please reach out.
