1998 Land Rover Range Rover HSE 4.6

I purchased this car in 2011 and am the 4th owner.  I have meticulously repaired and maintained the car with the idea of keeping it forever.  After recently acquiring more toys, my garage space has become limited so unfortunately she needs to find a new home.  I will do my best to detail everything about the car.  I have spent lots of time and money to keep her in great shape so the sale is a bit bitter-sweet for me.  I have invested well over $8,000.00 in the last three years into the car.

Condition of car:

Engine runs strong, does not smoke or burn oil, she runs well for 179k miles.  Transmission run well and shifts through all gears. Both front differentials have been replaced with low mileage used units, filled with synthetic fluid and use a disco magnetic drain plug to accumulate debris and extend life.  Both front wheel bearing/hubs have been replaced (expensive parts).  All electronic system work and function properly while there are (NO CODES) or dash lights indicating any errors or repairs needed.  I have only 1 key but key fob works great.I also have the original Land rover leather book in the glove box with the manual. Paint is in decent to good shape and is original although she has a few dings and small scratches as most 16 year old cars would have.  I would give the paint  a 7 out of 10 as I am a stickler for detail.  I have made my best attempt to show the imperfections in my pictures in the spirit of full disclosure.  Interior is good, there are some scratches on the door panels from a previous owners dog but could be easily repaired by a interior specialist.  Leather seats are in good shape with no tears.  Rear seats are perfect while the fronts are decent but could use a redye to get back to original condition.  Brakes have been replaced and serviced all around (pads and rotors).  Headlights have been updated with XENON HID and I have the original lights if you want to revert back to OEM. Front side markers have been updated to euro white style and the front yellow markers are replaced with VALEO OEM Japanese style clear markers (Very hard to find).  By getting rid of the yellow in the front of the car it has more Euro look.  Every component has been replaced or rebuilt in the air suspension system and works like a charm. I am including a extra rebuilt EAS pump in the sale.  Many people tear out the beautiful air suspension systems in these cars because they have a hard time fixing the systems.  If you know P38's, part of the beauty of this car is its ride quality and self leveling air suspension.  When loading 6 or more people + luggage the ride is instantly adjusted so the car is riding at the perfect height.  Tires are new Firestone Destination ST with about 60-70% tread left. The tires are a great balance - they are very quite on the highway but handles well in rain and snow.  Its the perfect all weather tire for the car.  Rims are in great shape for the original Mondial's and have not been repainted or harshly curbed. There are a few scuffs on the edges of a few of the rims but overall they are in great shape. AC blows cold, compressor is new and system has been recently charged. Exhaust has been updated with a $650 stainless steel Magnaflow system.  Cats have been replaced with Magnaflow system as well so in essence new exhaust from the manifold back. Fuel injectors where upgraded with Bosch Gen3 for better gas mileage.
 
I have spent over $8,000.00 in the last three years bringing this car to great mechanical condition.  Here is a list of work that I have had done:
  • New Firestone FS Destination ST XL Tires (70% tread left)
  • Front differential replaced with a low mileage used unit (disco magnetic drain plug)
  • Rear differential replaced with a low mileage used unit (disco magnetic drain plug)
  • Transfer case service (fluid changed)

  • New Magnaflow catalytic converters (exhaust from manifold back to exhaust system)
  • 4 new O2 sensors
  • New updated Kenwood stereo w/ remote control (runs IPOD/iphone or mp3 player).
  • USB port professionally installed inside of center storage box (too Kenwood = power + data)

  • Replaced key fob buttons,batteries and back cover
  • Included rebuilt EAS pump with sale of car ($500 value)
  • Included (4) u-joints for prop shafts (current ones are fine I bought these to eventually put in)
There is a bit of a small dent on the rear hatch (as shown in pictures) and some other small dings around the car as shown in the pictures. There is a very light scratch on the front left side of the bonnet as shown in pictures.  I have also included a video link to see and hear the car running.


The only existing issue I know of is the drivers door lock tumbler works intermittently however its not an issue as the keyfob works flawlessly to enter/exit and lock the car.  I think its just a loose connector rod in the door.  Other than that the car is in great shape, everything works as it should and the car drives well  The rear hatch has been debadged I have the Original Land Rover badge and will include with the auction.

Priced to sell fast the auction starts at $ 4,200 with no reserve. Car has clear Florida Title and I will require a $250 down payment within 24 hours of auction end.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs or pickup although I will help coordinate from my end with any shipper. Car is sold with no warranty or guarantee.  Feel free to email me any questions and PLEASE serious bidders only.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

Jaguar Land Rover calling in 100k vehicles in three separate campaigns

Sun, Feb 8 2015

Jaguar Land Rover is recalling an estimated 104,114 vehicles in three separate campaigns in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The largest of them affects Range Rovers made between April 15, 2005, and September 4, 2012, covering 74,648 units in America from the 2006 to 2012 model years. In those affected vehicles, the front brake hose could rupture, leaking brake fluid and decreasing the capability of the brakes to, you know... stop the vehicle. In a similar but separate recall, subsequent Range Rovers from the 2013 and 2014 model years (manufactured between August 16, 2012, and January 8, 2014) are also being recalled for a brake issue – this time due to the incorrect routing of the brake vacuum hose. The issue could wear down the hose and disable the power assist, again impeding the brakes from properly functioning. This second recall also affects the 2014 Range Rover Sport (specifically those manufactured between May 7, 2013, and January 8, 2014), affecting 24,679 units between both models across the United States. A third smaller recall concerns the 2012-2015 Jaguar XK – namely those built between March 4, 2011, and March 20, 2014. This campaign involves the front side parking lamps, which might switch off after about five minutes, in contravention of federal standards. As such, an estimated 4,787 units are being called in. In all three cases, owners of the affected vehicles can expect to hear from their local dealer to arrange to bring in their wayward British luxury vehicles to have the relevant issue fixed. RECALL Subject : Front Brake Hose(s) may Rupture Report Receipt Date: JAN 27, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V039000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 74,648 Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC SUMMARY: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles manufactured April 15, 2005, to September 4, 2012. One or both of the flexible front brake hoses may rupture causing loss of brake fluid. CONSEQUENCE: If one or both of the flexible brake hoses fails, the vehicle may require a longer distance to stop, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left and right front brake hoses, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 13, 2015. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837.

Here's today's round of auto plant closures in response to coronavirus

Fri, Mar 20 2020

More automakers have shuttered factories, as businesses everywhere work to slow the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus — and as the pandemic slows sales and disrupts parts supply chains. On Friday, the following closures were announced: • Volvo will close its factories in Sweden and the United States from March 26 to April 14. Volvo's U.S. facility, in Charleston, South Carolina, makes the S60 sedan. Its assembly plant in Torslanda, Sweden, turns out the XC90, SC60, and V90. Other Swedish facilities make engines and component parts. A Volvo factory in Ghent, Belgium, that builds the XC40 and V60 closed earlier this week and is expected to remain offline until April 6. Volvo's four factories in China have been reopened after a shutdown earlier this year. • Jaguar Land Rover announced that it will suspend production at its assembly plants in the UK over the coming week. The shutdown is expected to last until April 20. Elsewhere, production continues at the company's factories in India and Brazil, and JLR's joint-venture plant in China reopened at the end of February. • Bentley is closing its factory in Crewe, England, for four weeks, effective today. • Bugatti has put its atelier in Molsheim, France, on hiatus. No date was given for when assembly of its supercars might resume. • Mercedes-Benz on Monday will shut down its SUV factory in Alabama and its van assembly plant in South Carolina. Both will remain closed for a minimum of two weeks. Tesla yesterday revealed that it will suspend operations at its Fremont, California, vehicle assembly plant next week, on order from local officials there. Yesterday's factory closure announcements also included the U.S. assembly plants for Toyota (until April 6), Volkswagen (through March 29), Subaru (through March 29), and Hyundai (no time period specified). They join GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Nissan, and Harley-Davidson, which earlier this week announced the suspension of production at their facilities.

Jaguar to offer high-performance SVR models like Land Rover?

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

At the Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend, Land Rover previewed its upcoming performance version of the Range Rover Sport. Only instead of wearing the R-S badge that adorns the most hardcore of Jaguar models, the performance SUV from JLR's Special Operations unit introduced the letters SVR. And now, it seems that badge is here to stay.
Following the Range Rover Sport SVR, a new report from Motor Authority now says that Jaguar Land Rover will use those letters to distinguish the top-of-the-line performance models from both marques moving forward. As such, we might expect SVR models of the upcoming Jaguar XE compact sedan and Land Rover Discovery Sport, as well as potential new performance models based on the new F-Type and next-generation XF.
If accurate, the move would seem to separate Jaguar in particular from the R-S badge that has adorned performance models like the XFR-S and XKR-S. Both Audi and Porsche use the letters RS to distinguish its most hardcore models as well (e.g. Audi RS7 Sportback and Porsche 911 GT3 RS). Whether the similarity was a factor in shifting to the SVR moniker, we don't know, but either way, we welcome the arrival of a new generation of Jaguar and Land Rover performance models - especially if they pack the 575-horsepower version of the company's ubiquitous 5.0-liter supercharged V8. Not incidentally, that delicious powerplant gained a couple of new engine bays to call home at Goodwood as well - it's not just found in the forthcoming Range Rover Sport SVR, it's found a home in the F-Type Project 7, too.
