NOTE: Car is not in SEATTLE, it's in West Richland WA. I recently purchased this truck from the original owner in Seattle. Car was advertised as needing head gaskets. I have replaced the head gaskets with Victor set, heads were tested free of cracks and resurfaced. I chose not to do valve job because the machine shop said with the miles that were on the car I shouldn't need it... I think that was a bad Idea in retrospect. PO told me that at 60K the head gaskets went bad and the shop asked them if they'd like to just have them install a new short block at the time and they did, though I can't prove that and the dumb-butt previous owners can't find their records because of divorce chaos, I don't have any reason to doubt them and the high compression indicates this is true.Currently car is running very nicely, good power and crisp throttle response, no overheating. When I filled the coolant system after HG's I did put some liquid glass tablets in the system as preventative maintanence as many auto manufactures do with brand new cars. Car does not have the SAI (secondary air injection) which makes it quite a bit simpler and less to go wrong. All electrical components work fine except rear sunroof, heater system is perfect and the AC blows cold, tires are 70%, stops fine with a bit of squeek from the front brakes (rotors worn) rear fine rotors good, ACE system good, ABS fine no lights, traction control and 4x4 good (see pic), exhaust good. Car has no rust visible anywhere, under carriage clean, steering tight and smooth, transmission shifts perfectly, shocks good, no windshield cracks. Exterior paint very nice, one scratch on drivers door (see pic), one quarter sized ding in door. Interior very nice, color camel leather, no cracks or damage, seats show some fading is all, fix with proper dye and leather treatment, floor mat worn drivers side, original took kit, jack etc present... car runs and drives NICE. I have replaced two o2 sensors with generic sensors chasing the codes, and think that was also a bad idea, seems these things like OEM and that's it. Also replaced one rattling cat converter, flushed power steering, new plugs and "Kingsborne" wires, air filter, oil change. Note photo, of testing the car for combustion chamber leaks and cracked block/ slipped liner problem, results negative for any problems (BLUE). Car is throwing some codes, PO447 (evap open, usually a fuel cap) PO102 (mass air flow sensor) PO112 (Intake air temp sensor) P1884 (?) and misfire cyl 5 and multiple random misfires (don't have the codes handy). The o2 sensors fixed the rich condition and no signal from o2 sensor codes. Far as the codes go I don't have the time (or patience mostly) to get into this, first step would probably be to do vacuum test (haven't yet) and or Air flow sensor, maybe coil pack. IT"S POSSIBLE that the car needs a valve job in light of the compression readings. This amounts to full disclosure on the truck, should be a good reliable runner with codes fixes but the usual caveats apply here as this is a land rover after all ;-) Tomorrow will take pics of the interior. Compression is 180 178 150 150 (left bank) 180 170 160 150 (right bank). Car should be fine for pick up and trip home, I have put about 500 trouble free miles on this since the head gasket fix. Thank you.

Jaguar Land Rover in talks for Southern US factory
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Jaguar Land Rover is getting serious about global expansion, and that means it can't only build its vehicles in the UK anymore. The British automaker is cutting the ribbon at its new plant in China tomorrow, marking the opening of its first factory outside the UK. In 2016, it will open another factory in Brazil. But the latest intel has it that JLR is looking into a US factory, as well.
The report, which comes to us from the Sunday Times by way of Automotive News Europe, indicates that the company is evaluating locations for a North American factory, with options centering around Southern right-to-work states like South Carolina, where BMW operates its plant in Spartanburg and a wide array of other automotive operations are based as well. The JLR plant would reportedly ramp up to a capacity of 200,000 units per year.
In related news, while that new plant JLR is inaugurating in Changshu, China, is initially slated to produce the Range Rover Evoque, it is also expected to start building the new Discovery Sport as well - just like the Halewood plant in the UK that has handled Evoque assembly from the start and which just built its first Discovery Sport, as well.
Aston Martin DB10 spied in action on James Bond Spectre set
Tue, Feb 17 2015Spectre, the next film in the James Bond franchise, is due for release on November 6 of this year. That means there's filming happening right now all over Europe as scenes are stitched together, and one of them involves the Aston Martin DB10 shuffling through maneuvers at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. Our guess is that Bond has become an unwelcome guest at a fancy event – there's a Porsche 959 and a Bugatti EB110 in the courtyard – which is why he is forced to make one of his quick-reversing escapes under fire. While that was being captured last week, the Spectre production crew put together another behind-the-scenes clip from filming in Austria, which gives us a look at the Range Rover Sport SVR and Land Rover Defender "Bigfoot" crushing it up some snowy mountain passes. That clip is below. Yes, we're excited.

Jaguar Land Rover develops 'transparent' A-pillar and ghost car [w/video]
Mon, Dec 15 2014Jaguar and Land Rover are known for making highly covetable luxury, performance and off-road vehicles, but the British automakers are on a bit of a technology bent lately. Keen to show that it can not only keep up but lead the way when it comes to safety and convenience features, JLR has come out with two more systems to show the way forward. JLR's new 360 Virtual Urban Windscreen system, showcased on an XJ sedan, adopts two novel approaches to getting around town. First up is the Transparent Pillar system, which uses a combination of cameras and display screens embedded in the A, B and C-pillars to make them virtually disappear. Instead of acting as blind spots limiting the driver's visibility, the system uses the roof pillars to display what's going on around the car. If there's an obstacle hidden by the A-pillars, the system shows you the potential hazard as if the pillars weren't there, and brings the obstacle to the driver's attention. If the driver turns his or her head to see a vehicle passing alongside, it projects the vehicle on the inside of the B- or C-pillar. The second technology integrated in the next-generation head-up display is the Follow-Me Ghost Car Navigation system, which takes a page out of the video-game playbook by projecting a "ghost car" on the windscreen that the driver can then "follow" instead of listening to turn-by-turn directions or looking at a map in the dashboard display. The system is similar to what Jaguar recently showcased on an F-Type for track use, but applied for more practical use on city streets and highways. The release of these systems also follows the integrated smart navigation and infotainment system displayed on the Range Rover Sport and the Transparent Bonnet showcased on the Discovery Vision concept. Though these new technologies might not be quite ready for production applications, their impressive sum total goes to show that Jaguar Land Rover is ahead of the curve when it comes to reducing driver distraction and increasing the driver's visibility. Scope out the latest systems in the press release and video below for a closer look of what the future holds for British-style luxury motoring. This content is hosted by a third party.
