1995 Land Rover Range Rover County Classic Sport Utility 4-door 3.9l on 2040-cars
Collierville, Tennessee, United States
|
I drove this car as my daily driver back and forth to work. It has always been reliable. The car handles well, has a great Pioneer stereo, and has been reliable, safe transportation. I drove the car from Memphis to Nashville and back a few of weeks ago, and I still love driving it.
However, the car doesn't really fit my needs anymore in that I really need a car that has more seating capacity (I have 4 kids). 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.
The trouble-prone air suspension system has removed and replaced with a standard coil-in-spring system. I also had a new water pump and thermostat, new alternator, Mallory ignition system, replaced the hoses from the power steering pump. The tires are in good shape. The car starts every morning, the transmission shifts smoothly, and the transfer case works fine as well. The cruise control does not engage.The air conditioner does not work (needs a new compressor).The power windows work, as well as the sunroof.The heater works. All of the lights work except one right side driving light. This car has never been owned by a smoker.
There are no rust issues. There is paint oxidation on the hood and roof, but no rust.
The headliner fabric is tight. There are, however some cracked interior plastic trim pieces, but over all nice. The glass sunroof is flawless and does not leak.
The seat warmers also don't work. I'm not sure if they were inoperative when I received the car, but they don't get hot. But since the car has been garaged every day, and it doesn't get that cold here in Memphis, it hasn't been a problem.
The driver seat power works in every direction except recline. It worked when I got it, but at some point stopped. The passenger seat reclines/adjusts and is very comfortable.
The 6-CD cassette player that came originally is no longer there. I replaced the factory cassette stereo with an after market Pioneer that has aux. and USB port and will charge your phone. I also replaced the front door speakers and the rear speakers with Pioneer, as well.
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 and dash cluster functions as it should. The fuel gauge works, too.
There are no oils leaks. I have noticed a little fluid near the power steering pump, but nothing drastic and the reservoir is not low. 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. I have heard that 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 Memphis to have the troubleshooting done and, potentially, new sensors installed.
The car comes with the original owner's manual along with manuals for the stereo.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Jaguar Land Rover's InMotion takes a stab at carsharing
Wed, Apr 13 2016Jaguar Land Rover's new InMotion mobility business aims to capitalize on the growing carsharing boom and develop other forms of alternative transportation. The first pilot programs kick off in the coming months in North America, Europe, and Asia. JLR owns InMotion, but the company acts independently from the automaker. "As a start-up business, InMotion combines the flexibility and pace needed to compete in the ever-changing mobility sector. It allows us to react quickly to new tech and ever-changing customer demands," Adrian Hallmark, JLR's Group Strategy Director, said in a statement. The 30-person firm intends to develop its own answers to upcoming transport problems and also invest in entrepreneurs to develop those solutions. InMotion isn't yet providing many details about what projects the firm expects to tackle, but the Website mentions carsharing and on-demand delivery services. Establishing InMotion shows that JLR doesn't want to fall behind the current trends in the auto industry. Practically every major automaker is currently pursuing future transportation ideas. For example, Ford recently took a very similar approach when it spun off Smart Mobility into a separate startup. BMW also rebranded its DriveNow carsharing service into ReachNow to also add a future ridesharing service.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
