I've had this Rover for about 15 years now, and I've loved it. I hate to sell it! If you want a solid, reliable 4x4 to drive off-road or to get around in the worst mountain weather, this is the vehicle for you! It runs great, and I've maintained it well. This is the '87 model, which means it had FAR LESS computer/electronic accessories that the '89 and newer models had - NO COSTLY REPAIRS! And it has shock and spring suspension, NOT electronic air suspension (nothing to break). I replaced the standard shocks with awesome Bilstein shocks for a super smooth ride over the roughest terrain.

The last time we had a big snow here, I had a BLAST driving this thing all over the place, past all kinds of vehicles that were stuck. The Range Rover is a heavy vehicle, and has an awesome, virtually indestructible transmission - it can practically pull a tree stump out of the ground! It will go ANYWHERE.

Vehicle has NEW factory-sized Pirelli snow tires on it, including the spare (that's about $800 in tires alone). Everything works. The silver paint is getting faded. I just replaced the hood because of a rust spot (which is the only part of the body that isn't galvanized). I found a new hood that was the same color and just swapped it out. The rear lift-gate window is in excellent shape, having been replaced a few years ago. The mileage shows 106K, but that's not accurate; we thought the speedometer was broken for a while, and decided to replace it before selling, but after taking it apart found a broken speedo cable instead. I've replaced the cable and left the original speedometer in place. However, we've driven it very little since the speedo stopped working (mostly in the winter when nothing else can move), so the mileage isn't a LOT more than that.

I also have a complete Factory Shop Manual. If you are just a little it mechanically inclined, this manual shows you how to remove, replace, or repair ANYTHING on this vehicle. It includes step-by-step instructions and exploded diagrams. I'm no mechanic, but I've done most of my own maintenance over the years.

Some people have told me, "That thing must cost a fortune to maintain", but not so! It's only expensive if you go to the Rover dealership. There are several great online parts sources, and TONS of great websites and forums to help. I am constantly amazed at how easy it is to fix almost anything on this vehicle myself, or at a local garage.

These classic vehicles are getting very rare and hard to find, especially in great running condition.

Jaguar Land Rover recalls Takata airbag-equipped cars

Fri, Aug 5 2016

In the latest chapter of what feels like the never-ending recall, Jaguar Land Rover announced that it's calling back 2009-2011 Jaguar XFs and 2007-2011 Land Rover Range Rovers for defective Takata airbags on the front passenger side. These Takata airbags have propellant that may have degraded and, if activated, could release metal shrapnel. The company is breaking up the recall into four phases, since currently there are not enough parts to do a full recall. Since the airbags can be more seriously affected by high heat and humidity, the first phase will cover vehicles that were sold and/or registered in regions with high temperatures and humidity. The regions included are as follows: Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. Other phases will begin as parts become available, and priority will be given to regions at greater risk of having defective equipment. Jaguar Land Rover encourages owners of affected vehicles to go to www.SaferCar.gov to check if their vehicle is included in the current recall. The first phase includes 54,000 of 108,000 affected vehicles. The company is also notifying owners of the issue, who will eventually get a second notification when parts are available so they can schedule a time to have the airbags replaced. Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
