I drove this car to
and from work every day for about 7 years, and I have to say that every day
that I get to drive this car, it’s a good day.
The car handles well, has a great Harmon Kardon stereo, and has been
reliable, safe transportation. I drove
the car up and back to Portland a couple of weeks ago, and I still love driving
it. However, the car
doesn't really fit our needs anymore in that we really need a car that has more
seating capacity. Also, I just don't get
to go off road that much anymore. But if you are a Land
Rover or 4x4 enthusiast, or you just want a big car that looks and runs great,
check this one out. The car weighs
around 4500 pounds, and has that thick, safe feel. When I bought this
car in March of 2005, I promptly had the trouble-prone air suspension system
removed and replaced with a standard coil-in-spring system. I also had the exhaust system replaced, a new
swivel ball installed, a new water pump, a new timing chain, tie rods, a new
fuel pump, and new fuel tank (part of the 1995 Range Rover fuel tank
recall). Most recently, I noticed that a
couple of the heater hoses looked a little sketchy, so I had those replaced
along with a new reserve coolant bottle.
The tires are in good shape and wear evenly. The car starts every morning, the
transmission shifts smoothly, and the transfer case works fine as well. The cruise control works; the air conditioner
works; the power windows work; the heater works; all of the lights work; the
car has never been owned by a smoker. There were some rust
issues when I first received the car. I
climbed under the car with some of that sticky, black rust protector stuff,
and, since then, I haven't noticed any additional rust, even after driving it
to work every day in the rainy Oregon climate. The headliner fabric
on the sunroof's sliding door has been recently glued. The glass sunroof is flawless and does not
leak. (It's just the inner headliner for
the sunroof door that isn't perfect.) The seat warmers also
don't work. I'm not sure if they were
inoperative when I received the car, or if it was a consequence of having the
air suspension system removed. But since
the car has been garaged every day, and it doesn't get that cold here in
Oregon, it hasn't been a problem. The
car comes with the genuine Land Rover seat covers as seen in the pictures. The front passenger
seat switch has a broken post. Back in
2005, I put some Velcro on the housing to keep the knob in contact with the
post so that you can still control the seat position, orientation, and so
forth. Both front seats recline/adjust
and are very comfortable. The 6-CD cassette
player, located in the rear of the car, still works very well. However, the in-dash tape player is a little
flaky. But the stereo speakers and the
subwoofer work. Occasionally, the
Anti-Lock warning lamp and the Traction Control warning lamp illuminate. However, I have never noticed any change in
the performance. The speedometer reads
about 8% higher than actual. So if it
says that you are going 65 mph, you might actually be going 60 mph. The fuel gauge also reads a tiny bit high, so
if you get too much below 1/4 tank, it’s time to get gas. The car leaks a
little power steering fluid and oil.
It's par for the course for these older Range Rovers. The SRS (air-bag)
lamp is illuminated. The car has not
been in any sort of accident or other event that might cause the airbag to
deploy. With these older cars, including
both of my old Mercedes Benzes, the air-bag sensors just get a little corroded,
and the controller is probably picking up a little extra resistance across that
sensor. This is a dealer-only item, and
I just haven't gotten around to going up to the Land Rover dealer in Portland
to have the troubleshooting done and, potentially, new sensors installed. The car comes with
the rear facing, occasional use, "jump seat." It's not a genuine Land Rover item. When the kids were little, they used to like
sitting in that seat so that they could stare out of the back window while we
drove around. As they are getting grown
up, they don't like doing that so much.
When you install the jump seat, you have to take out the rear driver
side faring that covers the spare tire.
I have shown in the pictures in both configurations along with the jack
that goes into the center of the spare tire. The car came with a copy of the owner's manual along with some other notes.

Jaguar Land Rover invests $1.5B to build factory in Slovakia
Fri, Dec 11 2015Jaguar Land Rover will invest 1 billion pounds ($1.5 billion at current rates) to build a new factory in Nitra, Slovakia. Construction will commence in 2016, and the site will have an initial capacity of 150,000 vehicles a year when the first of them roll out in late 2018. JLR expects to employ 2,800 people there. JLR won't yet say what vehicle it will build in Slovakia, other than it will be an all-new aluminum model. The 2018 timing for the plant's start of production seems to coincide with the launch of the radically different next-gen Land Rover Defender, though. Earlier reports suggested that JLR also considered locations in North America, particularly Georgia, and Europe for the new factory. However, the company signaled the Slovakia choice earlier this year when it signed a letter of intent with the government there in August. The automaker then did a final feasibility study before committing to the site. The new factory continues JLR's recent manufacturing expansion. The company opened an engine plant in the UK last year and a factory in China. There will also be one soon in Brazil, and it will reportedly bid to buy the Silverstone Circuit as a new headquarters. JAGUAR LAND ROVER CONFIRMS NEW FACTORY IN SLOVAKIA • New world-class premium manufacturing facility confirmed in Nitra • The next stage of the Company's plans for sustainable global growth • Today's announcement also supports long-term investment in the UK Bratislava, Slovakia – Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed that it will be the first British carmaker to open a manufacturing facility in Slovakia. The announcement follows an agreement between the company and the Government of the Slovak Republic to build a new plant in the city of Nitra, western Slovakia. The new world-class GBP1 billion premium manufacturing facility will eventually employ around 2,800 people. Today's announcement follows Jaguar Land Rover's recent confirmation to double its investment in its engine plant in the UK to almost GBP1 billion – the largest injection into a new British manufacturing plant in decades creating several hundred new jobs. Dr Ralf Speth, Chief Executive Officer, Jaguar Land Rover commented, "Jaguar Land Rover is delighted today to welcome Slovakia into our family. The new factory will complement our existing facilities in the UK, China, India and Brazil and marks the next step in the company's strategy to become a truly global business.

10 best new car deals in late September 2021
Wed, Sep 29 2021New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
