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 |

New Audi design chief Massimo Frascella shaped cars for Jaguar Land Rover
Sat, Feb 17 2024At the Audi brand, style and design have long been a high priority; think the super sleek and sexy A7 sedan, the Bauhaus-inspired TT coupe, the single-frame grille that instantly identified the marque with its down-the-road graphics. So when the Bavarians install a new head of design, that’s also worth a look. Massimo Frascella is that person, a 52-year-old Italian designer who this summer will succeed Marc Lichte. Lichte ran Audi design since 2014 and will take up a new role within the Volkswagen Group. Frascella, a student at the Istituto d`Arte Applicata & Design in Turin, ignited his career at Stile Bertone, and his resume after that evolves impressively. He subsequently held positions at Ford Motor Company and Kia, and since 2011, Frascella has held senior positions at Jaguar Land Rover. He was responsible for the creation of several models: Discovery Vision Concept (2014), Discovery Sport (2014), Discovery (2016), Velar (2017), Evoque (2019) and Defender. In 2019 he became creative director of Land Rover and in 2020 design director. He was also instrumental in the development of the range of new electric Jaguars that are in the works. “Joining Audi is a very special moment for me,” Frascella said. “I am deeply honored to assume the role of chief creative officer and to guide such a talented team in shaping the future of the brand to new heights of innovation and distinction. I believe in the emotional power of design to inspire, connect, and drive change, and I am here to nurture and promote creativity as the beating heart of our brand.” Looking back a couple of decades, it was one of FrascellaÂ’s predecessors who helped to cement AudiÂ’s reputation in automobile design: Walter de Silva. De Silva was appointed head of Audi design in 2002. From 2007 to 2015, he supervised the design strategy for the entire Volkswagen group, including the TT, the Scirocco, the Passat and the Golf. Not a bad list of achievements, but in a interview several years ago, de Silva said that he considered the 2007 Audi A5 coupe the pinnacle of his automotive design art, citing its “sex appeal, the shape of the lights, the architecture.” Design/Style Audi Jaguar Land Rover Volkswagen Automotive History
California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers
Fri, Jun 5 2015California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.

Jaguar Land Rover to badge vehicles based on horsepower
Wed, Sep 27 2017Add Jaguar and Land Rover to the list of automakers changing their nomenclature due to the realities of engine downsizing. Spy photos of an unreleased Jaguar F-Type model show a badge reading P380 AWD. The letter P evidently refers to Petrol (British for gasoline), and 380 is the engine's horsepower. According to Auto Express, the entry-level F-Type will be badged P300, indicating the power output of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Land Rover is expected to follow suit with the new badging nomenclature. Diesel models will get a D instead of a P, while electric and hybrid models will get an E badge, along with a number corresponding to total system power. So, expect the I-Pace to sport an E400 badge on its hind end. One question we have, though, is how the disparity between mechanical, metric and imperial horsepower will be dealt with. While such power-specific badges are arguably unnecessary, we expect the trend to proliferate as engines continue to get smaller but turbocharging and electrification keep horsepower climbing. At least JLR's badges are easier to understand than the messy way Audi plans to rename its models or the way BMW completely dismisses actual engine size in its naming convention.
