1995 Land Rover Range Rover Classic County Lwb on 2040-cars

New Orleans, Louisiana, United States

This wonderful 1995 Range Rover Classic LWB has been my daily driver for the past 4+ years.  Its proven to be very reliable on long trips as I've driven it from New Jersey to New Orleans and back twice a year since owning it, without any issues.  I've been reassigned to San Diego and have decided not to take the Landy with me since I won't be needing a daily driver.

I've kept up with regular oil changes every 5,000 miles and I change the differential fluid every 10,000.  Around 123,000 miles the transmission fluid was drained and a new filter was installed as well as a new fuel and air filter.  Around that time the Rover was lifted 2" using Big Blue Springs and Pro Comp Shocks sourced from DAP.  The brake rotors, pads, two hubs, and bearings on all four wheels were also replaced.  The tires are BF Goodrich All terrain T/A KO with approximately  8,000 miles on them.  Less than 500 miles ago I replaced all the spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and ignition coil (bosch)  with genuine parts.  The viscous coupling unit in the transfer case was just replaced a month ago and the truck is turning like a dream now.  I had it overheat on me once while I was driving around Pensacola in August, so I replaced the viscous fan clutch and have not had any trouble since.  Other small thing which have been done are replacing the roto-flex coupling, all three u joints, new gaskets on the y pipe, a new starter motor, and four new mudflaps.  It has a new battery as of 2 weeks ago. The head gasket, serpentine belt, tensioner, and stepper motor were all replaced by the previous owner shortly before I bought the truck.

A while back the rear ring and pinion in the rear differential failed on me, just before I was planning on a longer trip.  Being pressed for time I decided to replace the entire differential with a used unit instead of rebuilding the old one.  The replacement has done just fine driving around, but the bearing in it whines and will have to be addressed at some point.  The power steering hoses leak slightly, I've tightened them before which temporarily stops the leak, but it always comes back.

The leather in the interior has held up very well over the years.  The headliner is sagging mostly in the rear of the vehicle.

The body has a couple of dings and dents in the sides and the hood, but is otherwise in pretty good shape.  The under body is clear of rust and the only problem is a bolt in panel behind the right rear wheel well (pictured).  The hood is the only part of the body showing rust and it has manifested as a few small holes.  The rear hatch must have been replaced at some point during the Rovers life because it shows absolutely no rust.

If you have any questions about the truck or would like pictures of something specific, please let me know and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.  If you'd like to ship the vehicle you'll have to arrange it yourself, but I'll be happy to assist with getting it on the flatbed.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.

Jaguar Land Rover names ousted Renault boss as new CEO

Tue, Jul 28 2020

LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has picked ousted Renault boss Thierry Bollore as its next chief executive, with a mission to return Britain's biggest carmaker to profit after a big hit from the COVID-19 pandemic. Bollore took over at Renault in January 2019 after the fall of Carlos Ghosn, but was always viewed as close to the French carmaker's longtime boss and was pushed out in October when the company was looking for a fresh start. Bollore will take over at JLR on Sept. 10, replacing Ralf Speth, whose tenure ends after more than 10 years. "It will be my privilege to lead this fantastic company through what continues to be the most testing time of our generation," Bollore said in a statement on Tuesday. JLR was hit this year first by disruption to sales in China and then by lockdowns across Europe and North America as the COVID-19 outbreak spread around the globe. In 2019, it cut jobs to address tumbling diesel sales, which helped it return to profit. But as the pandemic struck, it slumped to a pretax loss of 422 million pounds ($545 million) for the year ended March 31, 2020. The company has already taken steps to tackle the crisis, including agreeing to a loan facility of around $700 million with lenders in China and further staff reductions. JLR is also in talks with the British government over potential support, according to media reports. Bollore takes over a business that built just over 500,000 cars in 2019/20. He faces a number of tasks, including how to handle the Jaguar brand, which underperforms the Land Rover marque, how quickly to electrify its lineup and a potential hit from Brexit if trade barriers are imposed. JLR has a partnership with BMW on electrification, and parent company Tata Motors recently recommitted to the company. "Tata Group recognizes and values Jaguar Land Rover's future potential highly," said JLR Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran earlier this month. "That is why this company is central to our global automotive presence – a presence that we intend to develop for years to come."
