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

Year:1995 Mileage:135377
Location:

New Orleans, Louisiana, United States

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.

Your guide to vehicle subscription services

Mon, Oct 1 2018

They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race

Thu, Mar 17 2016

We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:

Land Rover knows where you're going and how you want to get there

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Land Rover makes some of the most capable SUVs on or off the road, and some of the most luxurious too. But the British automaker isn't about to rest on those laurels - not when every other automaker assaults its territory with sport-utes of their own. That's why Land Rover has been working so hard on nifty new technologies from a depth-sounder in the door mirror of the Range Rover Sport an augmented-reality head-up display that makes the whole front of the car virtually disappear.
JLR's newest tech may not be ground-breaking, but its integration promises to make driving around town that much easier. The system syncs with the driver's smartphone and uses all manner of parameters - including driver habits, weather and location as well as the presence of other passengers - to make the commute go as smoothly as possible. Get into the car and it'll set the seat and mirrors for you. No big deal, because lots of cars do that. But it'll also set up the nav system to take you to work and the sound system to play your favorite music. Okay, getting more interesting.
Get in with your kids and it'll know not only that you've got to drop them off at school first (or remind you to pack their gym bag if they've got soccer practice after school that day) but that they might not enjoy that Chumbawamba album you've been listening to since college and it'll play something it knows you'll all enjoy based on your listening history. Then it'll switch back to Tubthumping once the kids are out, remind you of your morning meeting and alert those you're scheduled to meet with if you get stuck in traffic while finding you a better route to get there, monitoring fuel levels all the while and telling you if you'll need to tank up before you reach your destination. It knows if you like calling your mother on the drive to work and will lower the air suspension to make it easier to hop out once you get there.
