Clean Rust Free 1998 Range Rover Hse 4.6 P38 Fully Offroad Fitted W/ Working Eas on 2040-cars
San Mateo, California, United States
Remarkably clean 1998 Range Rover P38A chassis, with the HSE trim & engine package. This is the fourth year of the Second-generation Rover in the US market, and the first year to see extensive revisions, to include revised ABS brakes, updated interior bits, and a few other modifications. Best of all, it further developed on its existing EAS Air-suspension system. It is a super-straight, RUST-FREE P38A Range Rover throughout, to include chassis, undercarriage, roofline and gutters, door panels, fenders, quarter panels, door sills, rocker panels and tailgate areas, to include the problematic rear hatch. It has spent most of its life in the Northwest (until it relocated to Northern CA in November of 2009). It has had a complete and thorough top-end rebuild less than 30K ago, and it also had extensive upgrades performed to include: * Heavy duty custom-built WARN winch * Reinforced front bumper * HELLA 100 fog lights * Ultra-rare SAFETY DEVICES basket roof rack * Factory LR wraparound brushguard * Factory LR taillight guards * Factory LR Tow package * HELLA 1000 extreme-duty offroad lights * 3rd Generation ARNOTT Air springs ( rubber bellows) * ARNOTT heavy-duty chassis bumper stops The 4.6L engine in this RRC runs very strong. Starts up immediately, idles perfectly and drives very smoothly. All work was professionally done. The engine has less than 30K miles since the work was done. The automatic transmission works well without slippage, grinding or hesitation. The P38 drives very well on its NITTO all-terrain tires. They have approximately 85% tread left, mounted on factory 18" Land Rover MONDIAL type alloy wheels. P38A Range Rovers with the desirable, functional factory-original EAS are very popular with Land Rover enthusiasts for the superb comfort and unique handling and off-road abilities of this system. Power accessories work well to include all four Power windows, both Power mirrors, the Power seats, the moonroof ( which does not leak), all instruments, heater/defroster, horn, radio and all lights. There are NO service lights on ( NO TC, CHECK ENGINE, ABS or Service lights ). Only issue I see is that for some reason the blower fan runs constant ( the AC does work fine, but the blower just does not turn to full-off). You must take a look at these very interesting links to understand the Land Rover bug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV6Co8DWvYU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1PVx2soxDc Feel free to EM or call me with pertinent questions or serious inquiries. I can be reached at (650) 430-4660, no later than 9pm PST, please. I have spent over 20 years in this great country's military and have owned Land Rovers of various types and vintage for nearly 35 years. While I am not a mechanic, I am an avid Land Rover enthusiast ( I own three others) and consider myself fairly well-versed on most of the Land Rover quirks and have assessed this HSE as a very solid, straight and rust-free example of the P38A Range Rover. There is NOTHING on the market remotely close for less that $10K with the amount of extensive mods performed and the 4.6L engine work already done~!. Honest CARFAX REPORT. CLEAR title. NON-SMOKER, NO pets or children in it. Always adult-owned, and its general condition reflects it.
* I reserve the right to end this listing at any time prior to the end of the auction, should a serious offer, or a BUY-IT-NOW offer present itself. I am glad to assist with NATIONWIDE or OVERSEAS delivery at the most economical shipping rate available. I can do all coordination from here, and you pay the transporter cost directly to the shipper upon receipt of the Range Rover. Should you be the winning bidder, I would like to receive payment within THREE business days, please. Cashiers check or Bank draft are preferred. Personal, business or annuity checks may be utilized, but must clear funds source prior to any transportation arrangements being made. Another option is a Bank wire transfer to the local CHASE Bank branch here in town. That expedites the process considerably and allows for faster shipping arrangements. Upon receipt of payment, I will overnight the title and Bill of sale to the winning bidder. Finally, PLEASE be sure to ask any and all questions prior to placing a bid, and prior to the end of the auction. If you have a ZERO rating, you MUST contact me in advance, prior to placing any bids.

We are all adults here; let's not engage in silly games because it is counterproductive and a waste of time for all. Thank you for your interest~! |

Jaguar crossover won't be based on Evoque or have off-road chops
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Jaguar's long-rumored crossover won't be built on the same platform as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, says the Australian site Car Advice. The future of the new CUV remains uncertain, but if Jaguar does dip its toes into the SUV/crossover pool, though, the new vehicle will likely be a car-based soft roader, lacking (or perhaps more appropriately, not needing) the off-road-engineered chops inherent in Land Rover's small CUV platform.
Jaguar product planner Steven De Ploey explained to Car Advice, "There's many groups around the world [platform sharing] - obviously Volkswagen Group is doing it all the time - but I think we have to be careful. He added, "Jaguar is something quite different... It's about capability, but very much on-road focused capability." That seems to gel with our suspicions that the XQ, as it's expected to be called, will share its platform with an upcoming small Jaguar sedan, the oft-rumored X-Type successor.
Still, we'd recommend taking any mention of a Jaguar crossover with a grain of salt. Based on many of the (quite compelling) statements made by De Ploey against a Jag crossover and previous statements made by Jag's design boss, Ian Callum, the case against a leaper-bearing crossover seems strong. If a high-rider were to arrive from Jaguar, though, the article insinuates that it'd be more in line with the BMW X6 or upcoming X4 - sort of a coupe-based crossover. Like we said, grain of salt. If a Jag crossover is going to arrive soon, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show is the most likely locale for its debut. We'll find out in a few weeks.
Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
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.
