1995 Land Rover Range Rover County Classic Sport Utility 4-door 3.9l on 2040-cars
Corvallis, Oregon, United States
|
I drove this car to
and from work every day for about 7 years, and I have to say that every day
that I get to drive this car, it’s a good day.
The car handles well, has a great Harmon Kardon stereo, and has been
reliable, safe transportation. I drove
the car up and back to Portland a couple of weeks ago, and I still love driving
it. However, the car
doesn't really fit our needs anymore in that we really need a car that has more
seating capacity. Also, I just don't get
to go off road that much anymore. But if you are a Land
Rover or 4x4 enthusiast, or you just want a big car that looks and runs great,
check this one out. The car weighs
around 4500 pounds, and has that thick, safe feel. When I bought this
car in March of 2005, I promptly had the trouble-prone air suspension system
removed and replaced with a standard coil-in-spring system. I also had the exhaust system replaced, a new
swivel ball installed, a new water pump, a new timing chain, tie rods, a new
fuel pump, and new fuel tank (part of the 1995 Range Rover fuel tank
recall). Most recently, I noticed that a
couple of the heater hoses looked a little sketchy, so I had those replaced
along with a new reserve coolant bottle.
The tires are in good shape and wear evenly. The car starts every morning, the
transmission shifts smoothly, and the transfer case works fine as well. The cruise control works; the air conditioner
works; the power windows work; the heater works; all of the lights work; the
car has never been owned by a smoker. There were some rust
issues when I first received the car. I
climbed under the car with some of that sticky, black rust protector stuff,
and, since then, I haven't noticed any additional rust, even after driving it
to work every day in the rainy Oregon climate. The headliner fabric
on the sunroof's sliding door has been recently glued. The glass sunroof is flawless and does not
leak. (It's just the inner headliner for
the sunroof door that isn't perfect.) The seat warmers also
don't work. I'm not sure if they were
inoperative when I received the car, or if it was a consequence of having the
air suspension system removed. But since
the car has been garaged every day, and it doesn't get that cold here in
Oregon, it hasn't been a problem. The
car comes with the genuine Land Rover seat covers as seen in the pictures. The front passenger
seat switch has a broken post. Back in
2005, I put some Velcro on the housing to keep the knob in contact with the
post so that you can still control the seat position, orientation, and so
forth. Both front seats recline/adjust
and are very comfortable. The 6-CD cassette
player, located in the rear of the car, still works very well. However, the in-dash tape player is a little
flaky. But the stereo speakers and the
subwoofer work. Occasionally, the
Anti-Lock warning lamp and the Traction Control warning lamp illuminate. However, I have never noticed any change in
the performance. The speedometer reads
about 8% higher than actual. So if it
says that you are going 65 mph, you might actually be going 60 mph. The fuel gauge also reads a tiny bit high, so
if you get too much below 1/4 tank, it’s time to get gas. The car leaks a
little power steering fluid and oil.
It's par for the course for these older Range Rovers. The SRS (air-bag)
lamp is illuminated. The car has not
been in any sort of accident or other event that might cause the airbag to
deploy. With these older cars, including
both of my old Mercedes Benzes, the air-bag sensors just get a little corroded,
and the controller is probably picking up a little extra resistance across that
sensor. This is a dealer-only item, and
I just haven't gotten around to going up to the Land Rover dealer in Portland
to have the troubleshooting done and, potentially, new sensors installed. The car comes with
the rear facing, occasional use, "jump seat." It's not a genuine Land Rover item. When the kids were little, they used to like
sitting in that seat so that they could stare out of the back window while we
drove around. As they are getting grown
up, they don't like doing that so much.
When you install the jump seat, you have to take out the rear driver
side faring that covers the spare tire.
I have shown in the pictures in both configurations along with the jack
that goes into the center of the spare tire. The car came with a copy of the owner's manual along with some other notes.

All of the Bond cars of 'No Time To Die' (caution for spoilers)
Thu, Sep 30 2021Note: The following overview of the cars in No Time To Die contains spoilers. Read at your own risk, or come back after seeing the film to make sure you caught everything.  No Time To Die picks up right around where Spectre leaves us. James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) are driving along in Bond’s restored and iconic DB5 in Matera, Italy. Things donÂ’t stay all that cheery for long in picturesque Matera, though. As is tradition in Bond films, the first car chase hits us with an explosion of action in what's a super-long opening scene. Fourth-gen Maserati Quattroporte: The baddies in the beginning are driving a Maserati and chasing after Bond in the DB5. Specifically, theyÂ’re in a fourth-gen Quattroporte, which feels right for a chase scene in Italy. Its squared-off looks are mean enough, and its Italian growl is a good background soundtrack to the DB5Â’s inline-six. In addition to the Quattroporte, the chase scene in Matera is home to a couple of the best stunts of the entire movie, including the arch jump done with a Triumph motorcycle seen in trailers — Matera is extremely hilly. Eventually, Bond and Swann find themselves in the DB5 again together, which is where the famous gatling gun scene from the trailer commences, but not before the bulletproof windows and body of the DB5 are thoroughly tested. RIP to the first-gen Range Rover Classics and Jaguar XFs that joined the Maserati in pursuit of Bond (here's a list of other Bond cars over the years). As the DB5 escape scene concludes, we catch a glimpse of what appears to be a Ferrari from the 1970s. However, the view was far enough away that weÂ’ll need a second look to be sure of the exact model. Land Rover Series III: Next time we see Bond, heÂ’s fishing in Jamaica and driving around a blue Land Rover Series III. ItÂ’s yet another of the many Land Rover products featured throughout the film, and unlike most of BondÂ’s Aston Martins, this one doesnÂ’t seem to have any unique features. The other intriguing vehicle out of Jamaica? An old Chevrolet Bel-Air expertly and effectively piloted by Bond newcomer, Ana de Armas. Next up, we get a few shots of the new and still-not-for-sale Aston Martin Valhalla mid-engine supercar (also seen in trailers). BondÂ’s old boss M is in the scene which appears to have been shot in some secret wind tunnel of sorts. Much to our dismay, nobody ends up driving the Valhalla in the film. Could it be a teaser for what the next 007Â’s car is?
Brabus takes on Range Rover Sport with Startech widebody kit
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Of all the tuners this side of AMG, none are as close to Mercedes-Benz as Brabus. After all, when Daimler needed a tuner to spruce up the Smart car, it was Brabus that it turned to. But Brabus tunes vehicles other than Mercedes - it just uses, let's call it, a pen name. It brands them Startech, like the widebody kit it's developed for the new Range Rover Sport and will present at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
The modifications center around the carbon fiber body panels Brabus (excuse us, Startech) has developed for the British sport-ute that give it over two inches of added width. The wider fender flares encompass 23-inch wheels that are forged, ceramic-coated, skinned with low-profile rubber and fitted to a lowered suspension. The front and rear bumpers have been redone in plastic and can be fitted with or without the wider fenders, and there's a three-piece roof spoiler at the back.
Startech is also offering an upgrade for the 3.0-liter twin-turbo-diesel V6 that squeezes out an extra 31 horsepower and 59 pound-feet of torque for a total of 323 hp and 501 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time from 7.2 seconds to 6.9. The German tuner also has a wide array of interior modifications on offer, details of which you can read about in the press release below and scope out in the high-resolution image gallery above.
