You know what’s sad? Seeing a Land Rover Discovery slowly give up. The paint’s faded, the chassis is rusting in all the wrong places, and the once-mighty engine sounds more like a dying generator. This isn’t how it was meant to go.
This machine was built for adventure for ripping through dunes, climbing mountains, and laughing at terrain that kills lesser SUVs. But now? It struggles to start. It creaks, it groans, and every drive feels like a gamble.
You could leave it. Let it sit another year, another decade until it’s too far gone. Or you could bring it back. A proper Land Rover Discovery restoration isn’t just repairs it’s a resurrection. Stronger chassis. A roaring engine. A reborn legend.
The question is are you ready to save it? Or are you going to let it fade into the past?
Most SUVs are disposable built to last a decade before ending up in a junkyard. But a Land Rover Discovery? That’s different. Over 70% of Land Rovers ever built are still on the road. Why? Because they’re built to be restored, not replaced.
- Rust creeping up the chassis? A ticking time bomb.
- Suspension worn out? Say goodbye to smooth off-road adventures.
- Electrical failures? One sensor goes, and the whole system rebels.
Ignoring these issues doesn’t just lower the resale value it destroys the spirit of your Discovery. A proper Land Rover Discovery restoration doesn’t just fix problems it rebuilds the heart of an icon.
You don’t just “fix” a Land Rover Discovery you bring it back to life.
If you’ve ever seen one in pristine condition, it’s breathtaking. That signature stance, the rugged, ready-for-anything feel, the way it dominates both highways and dunes. But when time and wear take their toll? Not so pretty.
Rust sneaks into the chassis, the suspension feels like a relic from the ‘90s, and the electrical system? Well, let’s just say you’re lucky if everything works at the same time. That’s where we come in.
Discovery Repairs & Services
Every Land Rover Discovery restoration we handle tells a story some were neglected for decades, others suffered brutal off-road wear. Here are a few of our recent successes:
🔧 1996 Discovery 1: Found abandoned in the desert, suffering from severe chassis rust and engine failure. We performed a full frame-off restoration, rebuilt the V8 engine, and upgraded the suspension.
🛠️ 2004 Discovery 2: Electrical issues turned this SUV into a nightmare. A full wiring overhaul, ECU reprogramming, and transmission rebuild brought it back to life.

Why Choose Us? Because Your Discovery Deserves the Best.
Restoring a Land Rover Discovery isn’t just about swapping parts and giving it a fresh coat of paint. This is about giving an icon a second life. Too many places offer “restorations” that are just cosmetic touch-ups patching rust instead of cutting it out, tweaking engines instead of rebuilding them properly.
Here’s Why We’re Different
We Live & Breathe Land Rovers – This isn’t just a job for us; it’s an obsession. Every rebuild, every weld, and every bolt is done with passion, precision, and a borderline unhealthy level of attention to detail.
No Cheap Aftermarket Junk – If we wouldn’t put it in our own Discovery, we won’t put it in yours. We use OEM+ parts that go beyond factory standards because quality matters.
Built for Dubai, Not Just Showrooms – A real Land Rover Discovery doesn’t just sit in a parking lot looking pretty. It moves. We test every restored SUV in real-world conditions from highways to dunes because what’s the point of restoration if it can’t handle the wild?
Your Restoration, Your Way – Want a classic, factory-spec rebuild? Done. Want to turn your Discovery into an off-road monster? We’ll make it happen. No cookie-cutter builds here.
How Much Does a Land Rover Discovery Restoration Cost? Let’s Talk Reality.
Alright, let’s be honest restoring a Land Rover Discovery isn’t cheap. If you’re looking for a quick fix, a slap of paint, and a “good enough” job, you’re in the wrong place. A proper restoration takes time, sweat, and precision. Now, how much will it cost? That depends on how deep we’re going. Let’s break it down.
🛠️ The “Get It Running Again” Restoration – AED 25,000 to AED 50,000
Think of this as a life support package for Discoveries that aren’t dead yet but are on their last breath.
🔧 Rust is creeping in, but it hasn’t eaten the frame alive (yet).
🔧 The suspension feels like it’s made of wood instead of springs.
🔧 Your engine still turns over, but let’s be honest it’s running on prayers.
What we do:
✅ Chassis rust treatment (because rust waits for no one)
✅ Suspension & brake repairs (so you don’t feel every pothole like an earthquake)
✅ Basic engine & transmission maintenance
✅ Interior touch-ups (goodbye, cracked seats and faded panels)
✅ Fresh paint & body repairs (so it doesn’t look like it was dragged out of a swamp)
Bottom line? This is for Land Rovers that still have some fight left in them. If yours is completely dead, keep reading.
🔄 The “Bring It Back to Glory” Restoration – AED 50,000 to AED 100,000
Now we’re talking serious work. If your Discovery drives like a brick on wheels, leaks more oil than a deep fryer or has an electrical system that’s possessed by gremlins, this is the level you need.
🚙 Your chassis is rusting but still salvageable
🚙 The engine needs serious work or maybe even a full rebuild
🚙 Your gearbox is more “guess box” than the gearbox
🚙 Electronics are playing a game of “Will I work today?”
What we do:
✅ Engine rebuild or swap (depending on how bad it is)
✅ Transmission overhaul (because a Discovery should shift, not stutter)
✅ Full suspension replacement (so it glides over dunes instead of bouncing like a kangaroo)
✅ Complete rewiring & electrical repairs (bye-bye, flickering dashboard)
✅ Custom upholstery & interior restoration (no more sagging seats)
This is where real restoration begins. If you want to go beyond “factory fresh” and turn your Discovery into something legendary, keep going.

What Affects the Cost of Restoration?
Every Discovery is different, and so is the price. A few things that affect cost:
📌 Condition of the Vehicle: If your Discovery is already in decent shape, costs stay low. If it’s been rotting in a backyard for 15 years, expect a bigger bill.
📌 Parts Availability: Some parts are easy to source. Others are rare and expensive, especially for older models.
📌 Level of Customization: Stock restoration? Easy. Upgrading to a Dakar Rally-ready off-road beast? That’s another story.
📌 Labor & Time:Full restorations take hundreds of hours. The more complex the job, the higher the cost.
