2003 Range Rover-needs Motor Work (timing Chain Guides) on 2040-cars
Springfield, Missouri, United States
I am selling my 2003 Range Rover. I am selling it because the timing chain guides have broken. Import Specialists in Springfield, MO says it will be $3,000-4500 to repair the car. I have a long list of recent repairs that were done either under my ownership, or the previous owner's ownership. I bought the car in June 2013. The biggest thing that has been done is a Remanufactured Transmission from Atlantic British. Cost of the transmission was $4200, and Land Rover in Tulsa installed it. This was done by the previous owner, and I have receipts for both the transmission and installation. This Rover is very clean inside and out! It was originally a California car, so there is no rust. Non Smoker owned.
Here is the list of recent repairs: Remanufactured Transmission from Atlantic British and installed by Land Rover Tulsa at around 127,000 miles Air Suspension removed, and converted to Coil Suspension New Radiator, Fan Clutch, Water Pump, Thermostat, Expansion Tank, and ALL Coolant hoses. Valley Pan Gasket replaced New Drivers Side Front Turn Signal Assembly (original was cracked) New Struts for Hood and Hatch New Stabilizer Bar Links, Thrust Arm Bushings, and Ball Joints New Side Trim Panels for Driver's and Passenger's side front seats. These are commonly cracked, and or very dirty. Pair of Land Rover Winter Wiper Blades New Throttle Body Battery replaced last winter New Fuel Pump and Fuel Filter New Valve Cover Gaskets and Upper Timing Cover Gaskets. This doesn't matter much since this will all have to come apart anyway. 5 new tires, and it has been recently aligned. Kenwood Stereo with Back Up Camera. I have invested a lot of money into this vehicle. As stated earlier, the estimate to repair the vehicle is $3,000 for the timing chain guides. IF it is determined that any valves have been bent, and head work is required than the cost of repair can go up to about $4500. I am confident that once the motor is repaired, this will have many years of service ahead of it. Unfortunately for me, I no longer have the patience or willingness to spend any more money on this vehicle. This is a case of my loss is your gain. Please feel free to email, call or text with any questions. Buyer pays for shipping! The engine does indeed run, though it is not recommended to start it up for fear of ruining the valves. This is a no reserve auction! Chris 417-343-8367 |

Jaguar likely moving HQ to Britain's most iconic racetrack
Fri, Feb 26 2016Jaguar Land Rover looks increasingly likely to make Britain's iconic Silverstone race track the automaker's new headquarters. There isn't a final deal in place yet, but the British Racing Drivers' Club, which owns the circuit, plans to have the membership vote on whether the negotiations should move forward, according to Autosport. BRDC leaders already presented the plan to members, and they were open to the idea. "The response was favorable so we will now set up an EGM for the members to vote and give the board a mandate to proceed with the deal and continue with the negotiations with JLR," BRDC president Derek Warwick told Autosport. There's no guarantee yet that JLR actually completes the deal. "There's still a lot of work to do to get the deal to where both sides are happy and more importantly what's right for the BRDC and its members." Warwick said. Rumors in early December suggested JLR was among the firms submitting bids to purchase the track, and the automaker allegedly offered 22.7 million pounds ($34.1 million at the time) for it. The company would also reportedly invest nearly $80 million to renovate the site, including adding a museum, experience center, hotel, and offices. The track would still be open for motorsport, too. Silverstone has hosted the Formula One British Grand Prix many times over the decades, and organizers signed a 17-year deal in 2009 to keep things that way well into the future. Series like the FIA World Endurance Championship, MotoGP, and British Touring Car Championship also compete there. Related Video:
Best cars for snow and ice in 2023 and 2024
Tue, Jan 23 2024What's the best car for snow? The real answer is "the one with winter tires." What do we mean by that? You could have the finest, most advanced all-wheel-drive system or four-wheel drive in the world, but if you're running all-seasons (the spork of tires), your fancy four-wheeler won't matter much. The odds are, any vehicle on the road running good winter tires will probably perform adequately in slippery, slushy and/or snowy road conditions. (Here's a more complete explanation of why winter tires are totally worth it). In other words, you don't really need any of the cars on this list. With a set of winter tires, countless others will do the job, and even these will be at their best with proper rubber. You can find a variety of winter tires for your car here at Tire Rack. Keep in mind that you will need a full set of four snow tires for safety and performance, no matter what you're driving. The days of your dad putting just two snows on the family truckster to get it moving in a straight line are long gone. Don't get us wrong, getting a car that performs well in snow and ice is still a worthy criteria for car buyers. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, 70% of Americans live in places that get snow and ice. And much of the country has been blasted with arctic air for much of the new year. So let's look at the cars. First, we're highlighting choices for a variety of buyers and price points. Second, we're not just considering snow; we're considering general wintery conditions people will experience driving to work or school. As such, these are all choices with advanced all-wheel-drive systems, usually with "torque-vectoring" systems that not only automatically shunt power front and back, but side to side between the rear axles. Most have extra ground clearance for getting through deep snow, and we prefer those vehicles with more responsive steering, throttles and transmissions that provide a greater sense of vehicle control in slippery conditions. Acura RDX Read our Acura RDX Review Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system was one of the first to offer torque-vectoring, and besides often being touted for its ability to greatly enhanced dry-road handling, its benefits in the slick stuff can be profound. It's actually surprising that Acura hasn't leaned into this capability further by offering more rugged versions of its vehicles.
Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.
