Up for sale is my 1993 Range Rover Classic County LWB with 172,XXX miles, slowly increasing because I drive it ~ 150 mi a week. I have a TON of additional photos of the engine bay and underside of the truck, but I can't figure out how to add the photos to my Photobucket account (just won't upload the photos). If you request them, maybe I can .zip-file them to you. I’ve had this truck for 3 years and put almost 20k miles on it. I have a STACK of receipts for service done on it by the previous owner. This guy took it to a dealer for every sniffle, but that also included all regular maintenance. One of the photos shows a list compiled by the PO of major work done and the date, but there was a lot of little stuff done not on that list. I shipped this truck to CT from Idaho; there is NO RUST OR ROT, footwells are solid, any visible rust spots in the pics is surface rust and would scuff off with emery cloth. Some of the biggies replaced by the PO: Heater core (heat will cook you out), center diff viscous coupling , conversion to coil suspension, brake accumulator, distributor. What I have done since I’ve owned it: Changed existing coils to 2” OME lift with New Bilstiens Swapped seats to pristine ’95-model seats Did the classic GM ignition-amplifier swap, look on-line for info on that. Added Bottorf Fab (remember them? Owner is probably in jail now) winch front bumper. Added AWESOME Federal Couragia MT tires, LT235/85R16. I DO have a full-size AT-tread spare. Although they are VERY aggressive tread, they ARE NOT excessively loud. Added aftermarket stereo head with ipod jack/mount New brake pads all around, new muffler, pass-side cat, new rear lift hatch. All fluids maintained, no massive leaking anywhere, engine and driveline are tight, quiet, and smooth. The interior is in great shape, but the headliner is starting to sag, hence the thumbtacks in the back part. They work pretty well. I intended to use this as a REAL sport-utility truck (which I happily did), so I removed the ridiculous decorative storage compartments in the back, and converted the speaker box to a tool box. The speaker, CD changer, and amplifier had been dis-connected by the PO anyway, and I spliced in the remote speaker boxes you see, but the upper factory speakers are still in place and do work (just dis-connected). The truck has a really cool-looking dark tint on the windows. I drive it every day, and it has never left me stranded. It rides like a dream, drives tight, and is the most comfortable thing I’ve ever driven on the highway. It is slow, though. The tire size contributes to that, but they also achieve 15-16 mpg on the highway. Just takes a while to get there. No wandering, stops straight, no shimmy, tires balanced great, no driveline vibration or whine. But there ARE issues, most visibly the body dings, which I’ve tried to capture in the photos. The driver’s-side rear door crunch was like that when I bought it, and I initially looked for a white replacement door, but then gave up after a while because I just didn’t notice it anymore. The deformation somehow does not include the sealing surface, and the door closes perfectly with no leaking. Tree crease on the left side roof, and left side rear quarter below the cargo window. See pics. ABS and Traction Control lights turned on about a year after I got it. I tapped and twisted each wheel sensor when I did the brakes recently, but the light is still on, and I have not diagnosed it further. Cruise control never worked since I’ve owned it. Replaced the vacuum hoses under the hood, but it still doesn’t activate. Seat heaters don’t work (no big surprise there). The seat control ECU went haywire; it worked initially, but the remote mirrors and driver’s seat began moving on their own, so I un-plugged the seat harness. Used a jumper to manually move the seat to fit me, then just left it alone. Passenger seat works every way except the seat-back won’t move forward. Driver’s window has begun to move VERY slowly, I suspect the motor needs replacing. A/C does not work because the compressor seized, and this is documented in the PO’s paperwork. He merely un-plugged the compressor harness. I have not replaced the compressor. DISCLOSURE: The upper rad hose had a habit of blowing out right at the bonded-in sensor for the A/C dryer. I replaced this hose (3) times and it still blew out; I caught one hose just as it failed, wrapped it with that stretchy pipe-fix tape, and it held fine after that. But I recently just un-plugged the lead and zip-tyed it to an adjacent harness (don’t need it anyway since the A/C doesn’t work), and installed a straight upper hose with no sensor boss. THERE IS NO HEAD-GASKET LEAK OR EVIDENCE OF EXHAUST GAS IN THE COOLANT. I had this checked, suspecting a blown head gasket was pressurizing the system, but the check came back negative, and the W-pump and thermo all checked good. Never any evidence of overheating. I have no idea why the upper hoses continued to fail, but with my repaired hose (and now with the straight hose) it has not failed in 10k miles. DISCLOSURE: Almost since I owned the truck, it has had a habit of randomly “shutting down” as if the ignition was turned off, except for maybe 3 or 4 cyls. Basically, the engine quits, whether at 70 mph on the highway, in my driveway, or in a parking lot. The recovery procedure is to shut the key off for MAYBE 10 seconds, no joke, then start and drive normally, sometimes for months, before it happens again. I initially suspected the ignition amplifier (which is an Achille’s heel on these trucks), so I did the typical GM-amplifier remote-swap, but it still does it occasionally. I have never been able to figure it out, and it’s no use taking it to a shop to diagnose, since it will start and drive just fine…Maybe 2 times since I’ve owned it the CEL came on with a code 44, which means left bank 02 sensor (I think), but I re-set it and it hasn’t re-appeared now since I can remember. I don’t panic anymore when it stalls, because it always recovers and drives fine, but still, I wish it WOULD just die completely so a shop could have a place to start looking. Truck has a ton of character and my kids love it, but it’s not the right time in my life now to own something like this. Payment MUST be made in person, I will not accept PayPal except maybe as a place to hold a deposit in escrow. You must see/drive the truck and be satisfied before I accept payment.On Nov-05-13 at 19:37:16 PST, seller added the following information: Doesn't anyone want to see pics of the engine or undercarriage? Photobucket won't allow me to upload, Shutterfly stalls on my computer, this auction won't let me delete some of the less revealing photos and add alternates. This used to be easy. Ebay won't allow an e-mail address in a message, so...., like I said, this used to be easy. The truck is very clean underneath, no rust beyond some nuts and bolt heads, maybe the tie rods and on the axles where the paint scraped off. Power steering box drips once in a while, I had to top it off (1) time in 3 years. Swivel housings got a Land Rover 1-shot lube less than a year ago. Besides the RARE PS drip, there are NO leaks on this truck, and it doesn't burn oil, either. |

Jaguar SUV mule doing Ring testing in Evoque clothes
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.
Jaguar Land Rover launches Pivotal subscription service
Fri, Jul 3 2020Two years ago, Jaguar Land Rover launched a subscription service in the UK dubbed Carpe. The program was effectively a 12-month lease with no deposit and no mileage limit, and an all-inclusive monthly payment covering insurance, tax, service, and repairs. For GBP910 ($1,134 U.S.) plus the cost of fuel every month, a subscriber could secure a Jaguar E-Pace at the bottom end, a payment of GBP2,200 ($2,741 U.S.) per month opening the doors to a Range Rover Sport. In between, the Range Rover Evoque cost GBP980, the Jaguar XE GBP1,200, the Range Rover Velar GBP1,255, and Land Rover Discovery GBP1,550. The numbers and customer feedback have encouraged JLR to turn Carpe into Pivotal, with new lease levels, terms, and restrictions. Instead of keeping a vehicle for 12 months, Pivotal subscribers pay GBP550 to join, then swap out every six months. Changing cars early incurs a GBP250 fee, or customers can request to stick with the vehicle they have beyond six months, but JLR reserves the right to switch out cars when necessary. Pivotal keeps tabs to the odometer, too — instead of unlimited driving, the program caps fee-free travel at 1,500 miles per month, 20 pence per mile after that. However, the FAQ section explains that "mileage is accumulative so do not worry if you do not use your full mileage allowance, the first month can be carried on into the next within a given vehicle."Â Carpe's six levels have been reduced to four Pivotal tiers. Blue costs GBP750 ($934 U.S.) per month and offers access to the Jaguar F-Pace, Land Rover Discovery Sport, or Range Rover Evoque, clearly a much better deal than GBP910 for an E-Pace (and we like the E-Pace). Indigo runs GBP1,150 ($1,433 U.S.) for the choice of a Jaguar I-Pace, Range Rover Velar, or Land Rover Discovery. Violet, costing GBP1,350 ($1,682 U.S.), comes with just one vehicle for now, the Range Rover Sport. Same goes for Ultraviolet at GBP1,600 ($1,993 U.S.), which gets the Range Rover. The brand already has plans to expand the fleet with the new Defender, and plug-in hybrid versions of the Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque The only noted repair item not covered is windshield replacement, which carries a GBP150 deductible. The splashy rework in England comes shortly after Mercedes-Benz shuttered its Collection service here in the U.S. On trial for two years in Nashville, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, Collection couldn't get the traction Mercedes wanted.
Environmental group accuses BMW, JLR of link to deforestation in Paraguay
Wed, Sep 30 2020ASUNCION, Paraguay — Environmental group Earthsight said on Wednesday it has linked some of Europe's largest carmakers to the deforestation of the Chaco, a dry forest region of Paraguay home to jaguars and one of the last uncontacted indigenous groups in the world. The group said in a report that livestock companies have illegally logged lands of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode indigenous ethnic group, some of whose members live in voluntary isolation. The livestock skin is used in leather upholstery of luxury vehicles sold by high-end European auto brands including BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover, the group said. UK-based Earthsight said it had made covert visits to tanneries that bragged about supplying the raw material to the luxury car brands. "BMW is using hides sourced from two slaughterhouses processing cows from ranches responsible for illegal [logging] in the Ayoreo Totobiegosode's forests. Jaguar Land Rover didn't dispute sourcing from a Paraguayan tannery that processes hides from another slaughterhouse doing the same," the report said. Jaguar Land Rover said in a statement to Reuters it had found no evidence to verify Earthsight's claims. It said its European suppliers assured sustainability. "We continue our drive for further transparency and, in this case, the leather supplier in Europe verifies with each raw material supplier that no rural property that directly supplies it is involved in illegal deforestation," the automaker said. BMW did not respond to a request for comment on the Earthsight investigation. Paraguay exports about 50,000 tons of wet-blue leather (tanned, but not dried, dyed or finished) a year, and almost two-thirds of those shipments are bound for Europe, according to the report. Automakers say that leather is a byproduct of the far larger meat industry and high-end cars constitute a comparatively small market niche. But indigenous leaders say deforestation driven by growth in beef and leather exports is encroaching on their territory and destroying their way of life. "As deforestation advances with extensive cattle ranching, they are being imprisoned, they are disappearing," Taguide Picanerai, a spokesman for the Ayoreo community in the Alto Paraguay department, northwest of Asuncion, told Reuters. The region is home to some of the world's highest rates of deforestation, Earthsight said.  Green BMW Jaguar Land Rover
