Introduction:

 

This Rover KICKS-ASS!  If you have been looking to get into one for the first time, or are the seasoned enthusiast looking for a fully kitted, fully serviced, ready for battle vehicle, then GET EXCITED MY FRIENDS, and get the gloves on because EVERYONE is going to want this truck!  This truck is a one family client who has brought it to me for servicing over the years and recently decided to sell it to me as part of their plan to get an LR4… I have a lot to say about this truck so get ready:

 

Service and Reliability:

 

As factory a trained, certified technician gone independent, I pride myself on making sure that all of my client’s trucks and restoration projects receive the finest service with genuine parts and expert skill.  The following is a list of all of the servicing done to ensure that your ownership experience is as enjoyable as possible – this has become my signature eBay service list:

 

  1. Complete 3 angle valve job and head gasket service including: cooling system fluid flush and renewal, head gasket renewal, head stretch bolt renewal, intake resealed, valve covers resealed,  throttle body de-ice plate resealed, exhaust system resealed, engine oil and filter renewed.

  2. 30K mile interval service including: New spark plugs, New STI spark plug wires, New air element, New Belt, Differential fluids renewed, transfer case fluid renewed, transmission fluid renewed, all safety components inspected and adjusted to factory spec.

  3. ABS System Service

  4. ACE System Service

OFF-ROAD GOODIES AND MORE:

 

If you haven’t noticed, this truck has it all, and looks as classy as it does tough.  Here’s what it’s got:

 

  1. ARB winch bumper

  2. Waterproof WARN 12k Lb winch (so not only can you pull yourself out of a hole, you can yank out two more Rovers attached to you!)

  3. SafariGard Rock Sliders

  7. ARB tow strap, D-rings, snatch block and tool kit!!!

  8. Books, maps, a compass… everything you need to get lost… and come back!

  9. Full Set of Genuine Rubber Floor Mats

     

 

Vehicle Driving and Features:

 

I want to talk about the factory features for a moment (that I mentioned in the title) as they make this truck TRULY SPECIAL.  ACE – or Active Cornering Enhancement – Is an amazing feature on a Land Rover.  It is an intuitive system that virtually eliminates all body roll on the truck.  On the highway, take a long looping freeway interchange at 90mph… this thing corners as fierce as an F1 car… there is no typical “Rover Tip” with this truck.  ACE is also an amazing feature off road because it acts as a hydraulically assisted dampner and rebound for your suspension.  Meaning: when everyone else’s trucks are bouncing around on the trail with beers flying out of their cooler and into the great beyond, your ride is steady and controlled… and will be something your girlfriend or wife will appreciate.  Next – Rear Air Suspension.  This is AWESOME because while other trucks will squat down in the rear once loaded up for a trip, the EAS system automatically adjusts for a level ride height… ALL. THE. TIME.  The same goes for towing.  I don’t care what it is you load up on your toy hauler… the rear end on the truck will always adjust, keeping you in control and comfortable.  Secondary Air Injection – or SAI – is found on most  later D2 models… and anyone who has it will tell you… is over engineering that leads to parts which fail and require frequent service.  Not having SAI on this truck makes it easy for the novice mechanic to perform trail repairs, without having to remove half the engine to change a spark plug!

 

The cabin is quiet and odor free.  This was a NON SMOKER truck.  The leather is in EXCELLENT condition and all plastics, rugs, mats are in GREAT shape.

 

Features aside, this truck is total class all the way and a pleasure to drive with OUTSTANDING road manners.  Its tasteful modifications are with parts that enhance the vehicles performance and function.  It is a CLEAN TRUCK and drives as you would expect from a well-loved, Single Family Land Rover with only 106K miles!  As seen in the pictures, my baby’s car seat is still in it as my wife has been driving this thing every day.  I hope that adds a little more insight into how safe and reliable this vehicle truly is.

 

 

Purchasing and Perspective:

 

If you brought this truck to me in stock condition, and did all of the servicing that I have listed, and added all of the accessories that this truck has you would EASILY SPEND $15K+ to build this truck.  Here it is, ready to go, WHEREVER.  WHENEVER.  I do everything I can to ensure reliability and enjoyment for the long-term.  Other sellers just wash and sell them… leaving you to deal with the maintenance – always around the corner and they know it!  When you buy a Land Rover from me… you are buying one of the most thoroughly prepared units available… after all, I have been driving, servicing and RACING them for over 10 years.  You have an opportunity here to pick up a great truck.  That being said, don’t take it for granted that every Rover “is a tank.”  They need to be maintained.  They produce great results and require due attention to maintain performance.  While I have done everything possible during the time I have had this vehicle, it is not immune to maintenance needs over its life and the new owner should be prepared to service it accordingly.  No older British Car can ever be considered perfect and you should not expect that.  In my opinion, this vehicle is a 9 out of 10 due to minor surface blemishes and normal wear and tear on an otherwise clean interior.  The seats are in great shape, are soft and resemble the wear of your favorite baseball glove.  While the vast majority of the drive-train has been serviced, you should still expect to see normal saturation and drips of surplus fluids such as AC condensation, engine oil, etc (I do not believe in “steam cleaning” engines just to make them shiny.  This hides the current working condition of the motor and can additionally damage engine management sensors).  I want to point out a popular bumper sticker available from Atlantic British used among long-time Rover enthusiasts which says “If it doesn’t leak it’s not a genuine Land Rover!”  This expression illustrates well the patience and enjoyment REQUIRED by the do it yourselfer as well as the most discerning collector.  I encourage you to ask any and all questions NOW!!!  There is no question too small or obscure.  This vehicle is sold AS IS and I have done my best to reflect its current operating condition.  Anything that you may need more information about, now is the time and it is your responsibility to be satisfied before-hand!  Purchase of vehicle means satisfaction!!!  That said, as we are not a dealership, we do not offer any kind of warranty, HOWEVER, as a fellow Rover owner, enthusiast, and technician who races them, we tend to have basic items readily available in the shop. So for example, if a switch goes out or a fog light gets smashed or you need an alternator, I am happy to accommodate you within a reasonable amount of time.  I do not set a time limit on what I consider “reasonable;” I will decide what is appropriate based upon your needs at the time as well as what I have available. 

 

Finally, the winning bid is THE ACTUAL PRICE OF THE TRUCK.  Please bid what you are prepared to pay ONLY.  Winning the auction does not mean you can negotiate the price and your win will subsequently be forfeit. 

 

I have sent Rovers as far East as Singapore, far west as the South Pacific, and as far south as Costa Rica.  One vehicle is even en route to Antarctica via Tierra Del Fuego… having started his 15,000 mi + journey when I picked him up at LAX last November (he is doing GREAT btw!).  I say all of this because I believe in the lasting quality of the vehicles I prepare.  Everyone else, is just… well… everyone else… Don’t be fooled by the copy cats out there.  If it’s not from me… it’s NOT FROM ME.  Don’t settle for less.

 

This vehicle is a pleasure to drive, functions as it should and has my FULL CONFIDENCE to take you wherever you want to go.  There is no reserve so Good luck and happy bidding and HAPPY ROVERING!!!

U.S. opens probe into whether VW vehicles infringe Jaguar Land Rover patents

Tue, Dec 22 2020

WASHINGTON — The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) said on Monday it is opening in investigation into whether Volkswagen AG infringed on patents held by Jaguar Land Rover for a system used for off-road driving. In November, Jaguar Land Rover, a unit of Tata Motors, filed a complaint with the ITC seeking to prevent the import of some VW Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi models with "certain vehicle control systems" that allegedly infringe on it patents held for its Terrain Response system. The models include the Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne and AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad, and E-Tron vehicles and the VW Tiguan. The ITC said it has made no decision on the merits. VW said in a statement it was examining the action and determining its next steps. "We will of course cooperate with investigating authorities. While we cannot comment on any details of the proceedings, we strongly believe that the claims have no merit and will robustly defend our position," VW said. Many automakers offer a suite of off-road powertrain controls, but JLR claims Volkswagen's tech is more than just similar.  Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said the vehicles "have used JLRÂ’s patented inventions without payment or permission" notably a patent for an "improved system for driving a vehicle on different driving surfaces, in particular off-road." JLR says its Terrain Response technology uses the patented technology to maximize performance on off-road driving surfaces, including grass, snow, mud, sand and rocks.

Jaguar Land Rover backs Arc startup that sells $100,000 electric motorcycles

Wed, Nov 7 2018

Before it even put its first motorcycle on the road, new startup Arc reeled in a major player to back its ambitious product plan. In conjunction with the reveal of the fully electric Vector superbike at the Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori ( EICMA) show in Milan, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announced it is placing capital in Arc, using JLR's investment company InMotion Ventures. Arc claims the Vector is the first all-electric motorcycle with integrated Human Machine Interface (HMI) to come to market. Arc, not to be confused with Keanu Reeve's Arch motorcycle company, has a pretty typical mission statement: "To use progressive design and technology to transform people's relationship with an automative experience. For us, for you, for our planet." At the core, Arc wants to make connected, clean, exclusive superbikes, and the Vector is its first try. Although Arc didn't get into the nitty gritty details about the make-up of the bike, it did give some surface specs and information. The bike's structure is built using a carbon composite to create a "unique Arc battery monocoque." Weight is also kept low using carbon fiber swing arms. There is no mention of the size or type of electric powertrain, but Arc claims it will have a highway range of about 120 miles or a city range of 170 miles on a single charge. Arc says it will be able to sprint from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds and has a top speed of 124 mph. Stopping power comes from a Brembo brake system, while ride and handling relies on Ohlins dampers. The launch does not stop at the motorcycle, but includes gear, as well. The Vector links up with a jacket and a helmet for a fully connected experience. Partnering with U.K.-based impact protection design company Knox, Arc created the Arc Pilot System. Using audio, the armored Origin riding jacket provides haptic feedback based on numerous riding inputs to help keep the driver safe and aware. Furthermore, Arc linked up with luxury helmet maker Hedon to build the WiFi-connected Zenith helmet that houses an integrated projection heads-up display. In addition to showing things such as speed or battery life of the bike, the helmet uses a built-in rear camera to display other vehicles in the rider's blind spots. The rider can command the system using controls on the bike or via voice commands.

JLR shares backstage 'No Time to Die' Range Rover Sport SVR carnage

Sat, Sep 18 2021

James Bond's latest adventures will take him to Norway and Scotland, as seen in the trailer for the upcoming "No Time to Die." Somewhere along the way, the British spy encounters a pair of Range Rover Sport SVRs, the ultimate high-performance SUV from JLR's Special Vehicle Operations division in one of the movie's centerpiece car chases. Now, the company has given us a behind-the-scenes look at its filming, and the automotive carnage that ensues. The filmmakers wanted to take a Bond action sequence off-road, and chose the Range Rover Sport SVR as the the bad guys' pursuit vehicle. Armed with a JLR product placement deal (Bond drives a new Defender in another part of the movie) the henchmen had no qualms picking one of the most expensive things on the menu. Unfortunately, that also makes is a bit hard to watch when machines that start at $115,000 are totaled as they careen through the air or roll onto their roofs. The SVRs share a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with the Jaguar F-Type SVR and are the most powerful vehicles in the Land Rover portfolio. With 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque on tap, translating to a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds, they're the perfect weapon for chasing a super-spy down a dirt road. As for Bond himself, 007 makes his escape in a decades-old yellow Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. Specifically, it's a 90-series, a smaller version built from 1996 to 2002 that was never sold in the U.S. but remains popular in other parts of the world. The most powerful engine had just 190 horsepower from a 3.4 liter V6 shared with the similar-era 4Runner. Despite the power discrepancy, Bond manages to dispatch the Range Rovers in spectacular fashion. Wait, this is a Range Rover promo, right? "All the stunts are for real, there's nothing that's CGI'ed," said Neil Layton, the film's action vehicle coordinator. "So to make the cars more dramatic on the screen, we had to turn off a lot of safety feature aids that's on there." Interestingly, another non-JLR product shows up in the video as well. The camera car is a blacked out (to minimize reflection in other cars) Ford F-150 Raptor outfitted with a massive rooftop boom. "No Time to Die" is hits the screens on October 8.
