1995 Land Rover Discovery with rebuilt 4.6L engine from an 03 D2 $5900
I’m selling my weekend camping and overlanding rig because I just purchased a 2004 Discovery. This truck features the pros of having a Discovery 1 (departure angle, easy to work on, center differential lock, etc.), but it also has the raw horsepower of a 2003 Discovery 2. The prior owner (a service manager at a Rover dealership) swapped out the standard 3.9 L engine for a 4.6L engine he took from a customer’s 2003 Discovery. He had it rebuilt with ductile iron top hat liners and yellow top injectors, and the engine has about 78k miles on it (the chassis has about ~200k on it). Still is a 14CUX (pre-OBDII sytem) and so still has a distributor. The power difference between the stock 3.9L and the 4.6L is like night and day.
Rovers North steel bumper; safari roof rack; rock sliders; etc.
D110 heavy springs on the front and Euro Disco springs in the back with 1 inch spacers (so has a about a 2 to 3” total lift from stock when you account for the tires (which are Goodyear Duratrac Wranglers 245/75/r16s).
Recent repairs: Replaced radiator with a triple core; replaced all hoses; replaced thermostat and gasket and temperature sensor; replaced viscous fan clutch; disassembled timing cover and oil pan and installed new timing gears (camshaft, crankshaft) and chain, and new gasket and seals, replace evaporative control system hose.
Recent maintenance: spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor replaced, air filter, oil/filter, coolant, adjusted timing, replaced cat, etc.
New light bar installed.
Top Hella lights need to be wired; Superwinch X9 9,000 lb. winch is wired into solenoids, etc., but needs to be rewired to power. Headliner could use replacing at some point.
I’m the third owner and the truck has lived in Lake Tahoe/NV, Sacramento, and SF Bay Area.
