Land Rover Discovery 7-seat (4x4) (1998) Automatic (2.5L - Turbo Diesel)

{Please read the description carefully and please don't contact me unless you are a serious buyer. }
Selling my 1998 Landrover Discovery (Series 1). 300TDI 2.5ltr turbo diesel automatic. Factory 7-seater (2 seats in the rear luggage area). This car has been my daily driver and the main family holiday/camping vehicle until last month and has been very reliable over many years. I have just upgraded my vehicle and so this one is no longer needed. It has a few issues that will need to be fixed by the new owner so I am selling it without a road-worthy certificate. If I do not manage to sell it as a complete vehicle then I may consider parting it out (although I don't really have the time so I'd prefer not to do this).
If you take the buy-it-now price, I will include all of my spare parts listed at the bottom of this description, otherwise they are not included in the price.
The Good:
Engine: good condition 300tdi 2.5 ltr turbo diesel engine and transmission. I replaced the fuel injectors a little while back. The engine starts and runs well. I have fitted a coolant level warning sensor and also an exhaust gas temperature sensor. I have not had any problems with engine over-heating. Start motor, power steering, Air conditioner works well.newish batteryfront and rear disc brakes and pads are in good condition
body-work is straight and not rusty. I do not believe that this vehicle has ever been in a serious accident.5xCooper Discoverer R16 LT245/75 Tyres on landrover steel rims - these are excellent off road tyres and still have a lot of tread left on them Bilstein shocks; soft-riding springs; 2-inch (spring) lift for better off-road performanceBull-bar with remote-control winch.

Paint-work is NOT as good as it looks in the photos - there is significant sun fading/damage on the top surfaces that doesn't show on the photos as I'd just washed it and it was wet. anti-lock brakes need attention (I have a new wheel sensor that can be fitted)seats are all in reasonable condition but the overall inside has many marks - particularly the carpet in the rear. The rear luggage area has seen a lot of use!
power steering pump leaks (I believe this is an o-ring seal that has gone)spare tyre has a slow leakstereo systems works well on AM/FM but there is a cassette stuck in it so it can only be used for radioHead-lining material is coming away from the roofglow-plugs don't seem to work - it is a bit sluggish until the engine has warmed up (although could never be called a sports car even when warmed up!)winch works (including wired and remote controls) but one of the cross supports has cracked so if you're into serious off-road fun then I'd suggest you replace the winch
SPARES: (These are a bunch of Discovery and Classic Range Rover parts that will be included only if you pay the buy-it-now price. They are worth a few/several hundred dollars and include many common repair parts - mostly new/unused.)
