Hey folks!
I will try my best to be articulate and to-the-point, but please forgive me if I am not. I am not an engine-guy at all, but I know barely enough to do some research on my own to save money.
Here is some background info:
-bought 2001 Discovery July 2011
-purchased for $3,750
-I have put 4,000 miles on it
-175,000 total miles
-driven perfectly fine for 10 weeks
A few weeks ago I was pulling into Fox&Hound resturant, and the engine sounded like it was stalling (engine or transmision or something) as the RPM's was fluctuating... this was as I was pulling into parking lot, then with 3 feet to go, engine shut off (as if it completely stalled out). I then ate dinner, and 2 hours later started it successfully, drove it 2 miles home, and pulled it into my driveway.
I have since not been able to start the engine. When I turn the ignition, it does sound like it is turning over... it is not clinking like it would if it were a dead battery (i beleive).
From people I have talked to, and other forums and threads I have read, it sounds like it could be one of the following:
-faulty spark plug
-something with fuel line
-or crank shaft sensor
I have made a 3 minute video showing the engine and also giving example of what it sounds like when I turn the ignition. I will try to post a link so hopefully it will work for you guys....

Land Rover Discovery II , need help! won't start - YouTube
Any insights or suggestions would be much appreciated!
My goal is to get it running again (as least expensive as possible) so I can sell it for $2k-3k.
