Default '97 Land Rover Discovery I SE7

I bought this truck new in Feb '97 and have done a lot of the maintenance myself after the factory included maintenance ended. A trusted independent handled the heavy stuff. Truck is white with beige, has 136,599 miles, and has been an extraordinarily reliable vehicle until an issue with the fuel pump (?) popped up. As a third vehicle, it was driven infrequently as we chased the problem the last 2 years. Then a tree limb fell on the roof leaving a couple of small dents, shattering sunroof glass and bending the right roof rail. Vehicle runs well, but can be difficult to start, especially warm. Diagnosis is out of spec fuel pump for which I already have the replacement. I hate to part with this DI, and it's a steal for the right DIY'er or someone willing to part it, but the wife is giving me grief. Hate to see it parted, every reason to think this one will go another 10 years. Vehicle located in Richmond, VA.

Pros:
Original Owner
Mobil 1 all its life, strong quiet engine, new valve cover gaskets
Strong tranny and drivetrain, prop shaft rebuilt recently
Brand new Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus tires, less than 1K
Brand new Autocraft Gold AGM battery
New professionally installed headliner
Front and Rear A/C strong
SE7 with jump seats
Custom off-road tow bumper w/integral fogs and Cibie's
No significant damage history, paint in good to fair condition
Engine has never overheated, cooling system recently serviced, new coolant, hoses, thermostat
Exhaust 4 years old
Cosmetically very good condition for it's age
Almost no off-road use

Cons:
Cruise control doesn't work.
Starter weak since being parked
Fuel Pump needs replacing, have the part already
Check Engine Light is on, O2 sensors I believe
Brakes don't stop the truck well since being parked for a while
Usual small spots of rust
Typical Oil, and steering box fluid leaks
Shattered front sunroof glass, but both worked well prior
Bent pass side roof rail
Dents in roof at front end of each roof rail
Front End Shimmy at certain speed on curves
Dent/depression RR quarter between gas cap and tail light
Sunroof drains might need clearing
Rear door anchor pivot rusted, strap not attached

Price is $1400.00 with the replacement fuel pump, factory printed shop manual, and owners portfolio. I am probably being too critical for my own good, so I'll let the photos tell the story. Plenty more available, just ask. John, 804dash387dash3773. gybehoatverizondotnet.

Price reduced. New tires, new headliner, new AGM battery, jump seats and fuel pump alone are worth the asking price.
