1998 Land Rover Discovery LSE 300tdi turbo diesel. 50th anniversary edition originally purchased new in Thousand Oaks Ca. I am second owner and I bought it in 2008. This Discovery has been converted to a Land Rover 300 TDI turbo diesel and 5 speed manual transmission. I purchased a complete donor 300tdi Discovery in Germany 1997 disco 2 door cut it in half and shipped home to California. This conversion is as close to a factory installed 300 TDI as possible.

*IMPORTANT* PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE INFO BELOW
I'm selling this Discovery because IT CAN NOT BE SMOGGED IN CA due to new emission regulations. She now requires a CARB sticker which I was unable to obtain. The registration fees are paid current but the smog certificate cannot be obtained so in turn the registration cannot be completed. I never had a problem with the emissions until this year when they changed the testing equipment and the requirements for '98 Diesels in California. Without this CARB sticker and emission certificate it is UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN on the roads of the Peoples Republic of California. Please know the laws and emissions regulations for your state prior to bidding.
Condition is good for the age. Never been in an accident but had a fender replaced once. Oil change place closed hood on some tools and fender was damaged and replaced. Factory roof rack bows new never used still in packaging. I have always kept up on the maintance on this truck.
Ok the bad or should I say regular land rover stuff.

I removed pins from ignition switch. I went thru 3 in a year and got tired of dealing with it.
rear of center console trim plastic comes loose
Some buttons work when they want to
Low pressure return power steering line is leaking just a little bit. I think from sitting. Easy fix
Seats work fine but sometimes you have to jiggle the cable
Stereo jiggles around sometimes
