Up on the market, for a second time, is my 1996 Discovery SE. It WAS slightly modified. The engine is in mechanically great condition and the clock is about to hit 152K. The interior can use some TLC but compared to alot of other Disco's of the same age, its doing well!

You Get:

  • 245/75/16 BFG M/Ts with a good amount of tread left
  • Land Rover HD Springs with OME Shocks
  • GBR Front Drive Shaft
  • RTE Brake Lines (not installed)
  • IPF HD Wiring Harness for the headlights (BIG improvement on light output)
  • Water-Proofed ECU (Tested)
  • Front Left Wing is ready to accept a Mantec Snorkel

The not so good things:

  • Dash Bezel needs to be replaced ( what D1 DOESNT have a broken dash bezel?)
  • Saggy Headliner
  • Sealed front Sunroof and rear wont open all the way
  • Alternator is on its way out
  • Ball joint needs to be replaced
  • Front swivels need to be resealed
  • Radio doesnt work
  • AC and Heater only work on speed 1
  • Door lock actuators on Drivers side and cargo door wont allow the doors to open so you need to use the key (or for the rear drivers side door - hold the lock up while you pull on the door handle - another D1 common problem)
  • Bad Cats and burnt 02 Sensors
  • battle scars and faded paint on hood and roof

The truck really does run great and will make a great starting point for anyone wanting an off-roader. Its been my daily driver and weekend warrior and the times ive been stranded, I could have prevented.

I'll have pics tomorrow after a good clean-down


Asking $2500.00

Here are the most recent pic but still not what it looks like since I've restored some endcaps and a valance panel for it. The Snorkel has been removed and sold but the cut is still there so if yu wanted to put one on, you'd be several steps a head and it would be a bolt-on job

Ok, I went out and snapped a few. Since its dark out, they suck...but so you get an idea.

Also noted a few of the things I missed to put in the initial post...

The windshield has a little nick in it.

After removing the seat covers that I had on there for over two years, I discovered that the passenger seat leater has torn at one seam, which is weird since I barely ever have passengers and my driver's seat seams are still alright.

The ONLY Rust found on the truck is located at the front lower corners of the alpine windows...

I've had the ABS system disengaged due to weird reactions so I dont know if its just a dirty sensor or the actuator. Forgot to mention its got DBA Rotors with plenty of life in them...last I measured, they were at 12.9...must have been like two months ago. And I think last but not least, the hood latch handle broke, so I've been using pliers to pull on whats left of the handle.

Here are the rest of the pics...keep in mind, I havent been able to clean it due to the water restriction we have in GA...and I dont like having it cleaned by others.

JC...you'll be happy to know it made it to Charleston last night no worries (thank God for my ipod...nothing more noisy than 50% tread BFG's:) My customers son just saw it and really likes it....we are going to fix a few minor "issues" of safety and then turn him loose in his new ride.
