I am selling my rare 1999 Range Rover Callaway. It has managed to hold up well over the years. Its stately appearance inside out still gets compliments. These special rovers were shipped to Callaway performance in Connecticut for performance work boosting the power and drivetrain. For specifics you can search for Callaway Range Rover, the Callaway website will pop up with all the specs. It runs and drives well but there are a few common rover problems, including a slipped liner in the engine. For those unfamiliar with this condition, the cylinder sleeve will start to tap when the engine reaches operating temperature. It is more of a nuisance due to the tap. Rover drivers as well as myself have driven their rovers with slipped liners thousands of miles without any failure. Simple solution is to pin the liners. Second issue is that the viscous coupling in the transfer case has seized up, so it does not slip as it normally should. A quick fix that was performed so the truck is still 100% drivable is to remove the front propeller shaft, which will come with the purchase of this truck. My local salvage yard will sell these complete transfer cases for 200, which will come with a functioning viscous coupling, which is easily swapped into the Callaway transfer case without removing it from the truck. Send another 200 and i'll pick one up from the salvage yard if you want. The climate control works, but the display dosnt really work as you can see in the picture, the vents do blow cold air with AC but i feel it should be colder and blow harder. The AC compressor cycles like it needs a charge.

The severity of the above problems are purely subjective since the truck as it sits runs and drives 100%. I've taken it for 15+ hour trips in this condition without any problems, sometimes the slipped liner settles and will be quiet for a while, but most of the time you can hear it. The truck looks pretty good, some hazing on the hood but can be buffed out, i did it once when almost a year ago and it looked great. The hood has some minor dents from someone sitting on it i think. Lastly, the previous owner had a high end Alpine Navigation entertainment system installed as well as had the air suspension converted to coil springs.

Land Rover will put a Covid-nuking air filtration system in future cars

Tue, Mar 16 2021

Jaguar - Land Rover (JLR) is developing an air filtration system that inhibits up to 97% of viruses and airborne bacteria. Designed like a face mask for your car's HVAC system, it's built on Panasonic's Nanoe X technology. Most of the company's models (including the Land Rover Defender) currently come equipped with Panasonic's Nanoe technology and PM2.5 filtration. Nanoe X is 10 times more effective, according to the brand, because it relies on a high voltage to create trillions of hydroxyl (OH) radicals enveloped in nano-sized water molecules. Think of them as Roman guards in front of a fortress: they keep the bad out, and ensure only the good can come in. Viruses and bacteria proteins are denatured when they come into contact with the filtration system, meaning they can't reproduce or grow. The OH radicals also zap common allergens and mold, but they're harmless to humans. JLR stressed it's not relying on computer simulations to decide whether its filtration system works as designed. It asked British laboratory Perfectus Biomed to perform a test that simulates a ventilation system in recirculation mode for a 30-minute cycle in a sealed chamber. The results were encouraging: 97% of viruses and airborne bacteria were nuked. The carmaker pointed out Panasonic's Nanoe X technology has been independently proven to inhibit 99.995% of coronaviruses during a two-hour laboratory test carried out by French immunology lab Texcell. Future models from Jaguar and Land Rover will use this technology, though a representative for both companies declined to tell us when it will reach production, and which nameplate(s) will inaugurate it. Meanwhile, Honda launched its own coronavirus killer across the pond. It's a cabin air filter sold as a genuine replacement part that consists of four layers, including one coated with an active substance of fruit extract that inactivates nearly 100% of the viral aerosols it captures. It's available in Europe through Honda dealers, but it won't be sold in America. Jaguar Land Rover

Jaguar Land Rover cutting production in face of falling demand

Sat, Feb 8 2020

LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover will reduce or stop production on certain days at two of its British factories over the next few weeks as Britain's biggestÂ carmaker pursues cost-cutting measures in response to falling demand. JLR posted a 2.3% drop in retail sales in the three months to the end of December and has targeted billions of pounds worth of savings to tackle falling diesel demand in Europe and a tough sales environment in China. The firm will halt production on selected days over a four-week period from late February at its Castle Bromwich factory in central England and stop production on some half or full days at its nearby Solihull facility until the end of March. "The external environment remains challenging for our industry and the company is taking decisive actions to achieve the necessary operational efficiencies to safeguard long-term success," the company said in a statement. "We have confirmed that Solihull and Castle Bromwich will make some minor changes to their production schedules to reflect fluctuating demand globally, whilst still meeting customer needs." The move is not connected to coronavirus, a spokeswoman said, which prompted Fiat Chrysler to warn on Thursday that a European plant could shut down within two to four weeks if Chinese parts suppliers cannot get back to work.

Jaguar CEO says people just don't want EVs right now

Mon, Jun 22 2015

"Customers are not impressed with it currently." These are the words of one Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, spoke at the Automotive News Europe Congress in Birmingham, England. The "it" Speth is referring to is battery technology, which he characterized as "too heavy, too expensive," and with power density that's "too low." That all could go some way towards explaining why the British automaker has yet to bring an electric vehicle to market, why it killed the C-X75 hybrid-turbine supercar project, and why it only recently started offering hybrid versions of its Range Rover models (and has yet to offer them in the United States). That doesn't mean the company won't pursue electric propulsion in the future, though. According to Automotive News Europe, Speth forecasts that "the next generation of batteries will be higher density, lower weight and the cost will come down." What he didn't say, exactly, is when he expects that next generation of battery tech to come around – or when JLR will start to more closely embrace electric propulsion. In the meantime, Jaguar Land Rover will continue investing in research and development. Since Tata acquired the brands from Ford seven years ago, JLR has quadrupled its R&D budget and doubled the number of engineers on staff. Related Video:
