Selling my Rover - it's time to go to a new home. Ok, first off, ignore the graphics on this Disco - it has been protected by a full professional vinyl wrap for the last 6 years, and has perfect white paint underneath. I have not yet taken off the wrap, but am considering selling it due to changing priorities and lack of time. It has a bunch of quality add-ons that will make it attractive to the right person. Looking for a new home for it, as I've been holding on to it out of a soft place in my heart for Discos but it needs a little help. Please read entire description below. THE GOOD: 2001 Disco II SE7 - white w/ tan leather, 3rd row seating, great exterior - no dings or damage or rust, all power options work, clean and nice interior. Around 130K miles. Extras include full safari rack with 4 PIAA lights ($1,700 new), ARB winch bumper w/ PIAA lights ($1,500), Old Man Emu 2" lift kit w/ shocks/springs ($1,000) (air suspension conversion completed), bigger tires w/ nice tread (265/70/16 - set of 5). Other parts / maintenance done in last 2K miles: full top and bottom engine rebuild (cost over $5K), radiator, water pump, thermostat, starter, belts, plugs/wires, new driveshaft, brakes, fluids, battery, etc. THE BAD: About 4 years ago, the engine overheated and I wanted to do a full rebuild. Instead of ordering a crate motor (which would have been easier and less expensive) I ordered new top-hat sleeves and a performance cam from D&D Fabrications, and hired a local machine shop / performance engine shop to do the rebuild, then worked with my local independent shop to do the labor/install. After the entire process, after everything was put together, I had an issue with a miss and let it sit for a couple years due to frustration and lack of time. Last year, we pulled the top off to find a bent push rod, so we replaced them all. It was believed this happened during the break-in period and may have been caused by the performance camshaft we went with. After all put back together, one of the lifters started ticking, but it drove well. It got much worse after driving 500 or so miles....the tick turned to a tap with a miss and rough idle and I believe it's another bent push rod. After talking to others, I think we made a mistake by going with the performance cam and that's part of the issue. If someone wants to take the time to pull it apart, you can quiet things down and get it 100% again, but it idles rough right now and has a bad miss, so the engine does need some attention. Although it runs and drives, I would not trust it to go far as the issue could worsen. I've just let too much time go by and have little time to get involved with it again. The only other item worth noting is the power steering pump leaks a bit. There are no other issues with this Rover - it's a sweet truck that's had a bunch of upgrades, ready for someone else to enjoy once the engine issue is resolved. Never taken off-road by the way - the upgrades were all for looks. BACK TO MORE GOOD: With the sale, I am also including a spare complete engine which can be swapped, and I also have a new-in-box head gasket/bolt set and factory original cam. I bought the engine 5+ years ago for $900 from a pretty wealthy guy who paid a shop to have his professionally removed from his 2001 Disco that his wife totaled, but he wanted to save the motor in case he got another one in the future. It has around 82K miles on it and is a good motor. I just don't want to invest the time/money/effort into a swap when I've pretty made the decision to move on from Discos (I've had a few). Cosmetic imperfections (small stuff)-A couple plastic clips broken from the surround above the steering wheel-Small 2" indentation on back seat (see pic)-Rear bumper has a small piece cracked out -Part of the headliner sags but it's not as bad as most This auction includes the vehicle with all it's upgrades, the spare engine, the gasket/bolt kit, as well as a box of extra spare parts including new hoses, new window regulators, MAF sensor, rear bumper, extra mats and more. For the right person, it will be a very interesting find. Clear title, no wrecks, passed VA state inspection in July. No stupid offers please as I'm not desperate - if you know what you're looking at then you know it's a deal. Buyer responsible for removing the wrap (heat gun plus peeling time). Thanks for looking - questions email or call 5403798951.
