It took a lot for me to finally convince myself to sell this Range Rover. I am the only owner and treated her like my child. I put my name in to reserve her a year in advance and was literally the FIRST person in line to get the first one in Fort Worth, so they let me get the Adriatic Blue color (see pics, blackish-blue look). I don't know about you, but I have never seen my color on the road EVER before! She is FULLY LOADED, super clean (see my pics of her!), sun roof / moon roof, GPS navigation system, dual air bags and side air bags, ABS (4-wheel) w/ traction control, Harman Kardon Sound system, Multi Disc CD, Integrated Phone, Towing Pkg, 


GENERAL REPAIRS / REPLACEMENTS I DID IN 2012: Most were simply replacements to the existing parts I did earlier last year to keep her in optimal condition. Some were what I believed could eventually be a problem, so I figured replace them now. If you know Range Rovers then you know if you let them become a problem, then that problem will bring collateral problems if not dealt with beforehand and that is not something you don't want to have happen.

The Truth
Now honestly I really did all these replacements for me b/c she ran fine without them and I had no intention of selling it. And then... mom got diagnosed in September with a bad disease after passing out one day in the nail salon and was hospitalized for nearly two months (conveniently this happened just two years before she would have got Medicare! AH!!). She had crummy insurance that covered almost nothing and guess what good son got to enjoy paying all those bills?! That's not all, now she has a home nurse's aid that is slowly draining my savings and well... that is why I have to sell this sweet ride. What can I do? Whoever buys her, PLEASE take as good a care of her as I did. I am seriously going to miss this Rover (total chick magnet!).
- I replaced all 4 tires with brand new ones
- Put in an all new suspension system
- Replaced air springs
- Brand new Macpherson Strut
- New Battery
- Replaced left and right turn signal bulbs
- New Upper Radiator Hose
- All tags current


PROBLEM REPAIRS I HAD TO FIX: Only problems I have ever had with her are as follows (and I have kept virtually all receipts to back this up, just ask me for them no prob) 
- I had the front left tire totally go out back in 2007 (can't find that receipt, but the repair was a new tire. I know, you ask me... how did that happen?). I was invited to this corporate ranch and arrived there after sunset cruising down their gravel road that leads to the company lodge. She drives so smooth you forget how fast you are going, you can't really feel the bumps on the road, and being at night and me not being much of an off-road driver I ran over a jagged rock driving too fast down into the valley part of the ranch land. I didn't even know I did any damage to the tire until I got 500 yards from the corporate lodge and all my warning lights went off saying left tire needs repair! I stopped, checked it out and in moments that tire was history (luckily I didn't hurt the wheel). What can I say... I was idiot. Geez was that embarrassing! So that is her off-road experience except I did take her mudding on a fishing trip I went on after a storm (now that was a TON of fun... I seriously could not get her stuck! And my buddy had a jacked up Chevy with these huge mud tires and he got stuck and I just rolled on through the mud, no problemo! Showed them, huh?! ha.

Enjoy.

Tata to shed 1,100 Jaguar Land Rover jobs after coronavirus hits earnings

Mon, Jun 15 2020

BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors Ltd expects to shed about 1,100 temporary jobs at Jaguar Land Rover after it raised the cost-cutting target at its luxury unit by 1 billion pounds ($1.26 billion) to ride out the disruptions caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Tata Motors expects to save 5 billion pounds in costs by March 2021 at its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) unit, the Indian automaker's Chief Financial Officer PB Balaji said on Monday, adding 3.5 billion pounds of the savings had already been achieved. It will also reduce capital expenditure at JLR to 2.5 billion pounds for the current fiscal year, from the more than 3 billion pounds it has spent annually in previous years. "Conserving cash and prioritizing capital expenditure, and targeting investment spending to the right areas is our focus," Balaji told reporters, after the company posted a fourth quarter loss. We anticipate that up to 1,100 agency employees will be affected, a JLR spokeswoman said in a separate statement. Tata Motors is reviewing all its businesses and would consider exiting those that do not add strategic value, as part of a broader effort to save 60 billion rupees ($789 million) in its domestic business in the fiscal year to 2021. The automaker on Monday posted a consolidated fourth quarter net loss of 98.94 billion rupees, as coronavirus lockdowns across its markets ravaged sales, including at JLR. Total revenue from operations fell 27.7% to 624.93 billion rupees in the quarter, which ended March 31. JLR, which contributes the bulk of Tata Motors' revenues, reported a pre-tax loss of 501 million pounds for the period after it took a hit of 800 million pounds because of the novel coronavirus, Balaji said. He said there were signs sales were recovering in China, one of JLR's biggest markets, as well as in the United States and in Europe, with strong orders for Land Rover's sport-utility vehicle Defender and Range Rover's Evoque. JLR's boss Ralf Speth, who has led the company since 2010, will step down from his role at the end of his contract term in September.

Jaguar-Land Rover rules out downsizing into new segments

Sun, Nov 17 2019

Jaguar-Land Rover (JLR) will continue expanding its portfolio of models during the 2020s, but the group confirmed it won't chase volume by branching out into smaller segments like its German rivals. The two brands will instead seek partnerships to generate economies of scale. "We should not and will not drive down into segments just to get economies of scale," said Felix Brautigam, Jaguar-Land Rover's chief commercial officer, in an interview with Autocar. He added the second-generation Range Rover Evoque (pictured) released in 2018 is already a relatively small car. It stretches 172 inches from bumper to bumper and 75 inches from side to side, so it's approximately 4 inches longer and 5 inches wider than the eighth-generation Volkswagen Golf. It's about 8 inches taller than the German hatchback, however. While that's small by luxury car standards, Mercedes-Benz and BMW respectively went smaller with their Smart and Mini brands. Audi doesn't have an entry-level sub-brand, but it doesn't need to because it's part of the gigantic Volkswagen Group. Japanese luxury firms like Lexus and Infiniti are also part of bigger companies. Brautigam's comments bury numerous rumors. They confirm Jaguar won't take on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, the Audi A3, and the BMW 1 Series with a model positioned below the XE, which competes against the C-Class, the A4, and the 3 Series, respectively. They also douse cold water on the born-again Freelander (which ultimately morphed into the LR2 in America), which Land Rover was allegedly developing to slot directly below the aforementioned Evoque. Ironically, JLR might soon have access to platforms capable of underpinning smaller vehicles. Parent company Tata Motors is actively looking for an outside company to link arms with the British brands, according to a separate report. Officials reportedly approached BMW -- which used to own Land Rover, and announced a joint-venture with the group in 2019 -- and Geely, the Chinese giant whose portfolio of brands includes Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, Proton, London Taxi Company, Terrafugia, and half of Smart, plus a sizeable, nearly-10% stake in Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler. Geely told Bloomberg it hasn't heard from Tata or JLR. BMW and Tata remained silent. While a partnership with someone looks likely considering the significant hurdles faced by JLR, its parent company has categorically ruled out selling the duo it purchased from Ford for $2.3 billion in 2008.

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
