2003 Range Rover Black On Tan W/ Iphone/ipod/bluetooth Hands Free on 2040-cars
Redding, Connecticut, United States

Iphone/ipod/Bluetooth Black on Tan 2003 Range Rover HSE (BMW V8 Engine) Java Black with Parrot Blue Tooth, hands free calling/music playing/ through stereo, iPod/iPhone charger and player by cable (through center counsel) or Bluetooth, Harmon Kardon Logic 7 sounds great with Bluetooth stream or on call with dual microphones I had installed. Unlike other RR stereo upgrades, stereo still has original working NAV, radio, and other computer features like MPG/trip etc, multi disc CD player was disabled to make way for Bluetooth / iPod. No rust and paint condition looks closer to a 50k car. This truck was garaged 95%+ of time, driven on highways longer distances, and rarely if ever had rear passengers (rear seats look new, front passenger seat looks like 25k miles). Tons of snappy power, no oil burn or leak, no fluid leaks. New looking fabric mats. Does NOT need tires, brakes, pads, exhaust, etc. Is due for an oil change, other than that you can drive it across country tomorrow. Has tow hitch doesn’t appear used. No dents, some scratches from garage, hard to see in pictures or even in person. One small (<5”) area of discoloration on paint again hard to see even 3 feet from car. 2 keys and manual. I’m addressing all that is right and wrong with this car, if you were to see 2003-2005 RR with even half has many miles you would either have these same problems or need to fix far more. Ask any of the RR listed if these areas mentioned below work or condition. If you see and drive this one in person you will see why it is in better shape than 90% of similar year RRs. Dash is perfect/no cracks. I have optional removable cigar ashtray. During the last 15k miles, in addition to regular maintenance, replaced many items that are often bad on older RR: - Dashboard (unlike most older ones – NO pixels are out, important since RR use alert area for all sorts of notices - Most oil related gaskets (timing chain cover, oil pan, valley pan, valve cover) replaced - Most oil related hoses replaced - Height control compressor replaced and reset - Driver’s seat arm rest replaced (always look terrible/crushed on older RR which is why they are flipped up in pictures) - Lower control arms replaced - All tires replaced 12k miles ago / rebalanced / alignment done again 7k miles ago - Interior air temperature sensor - Replaced worn out looking “Range” letters from back (most 03s are mis colored by now) In general everything works on this truck nothing currently needs fixing - no lights on dash, AC is very cold, drives / parks level height control works up, highway, regular, and creep mode. The only notable problems are (everything else works as it should): 1) Driver seat is worn where you slide in / out as it is on all RR this era by now. 2) Rear view mirror somewhat loose on driver’s side (does not shake at high speed) and doesn’t always pop out from reverse to the proper angle but can be adjusted inside by pressing the button that pushes mirrors in and out 3) Steering wheel adjustment motor doesn’t work. It happens to be perfect for me (6’ tall) so I didn’t fix it as this is somewhat expensive to repair. 4) Interior fabric is off roof in parts but it’s even and barely noticeable and b/c of various parts on roof wont’ fall more. 5) At low RPMs with foot lightly on gas you can sometimes hear a vibration sound. This has been going on for years and hasn’t gotten worse and my mechanic says many of them do this and it is nothing to be alarmed about or try to fix. In general the transmission shifts perfectly. The recall these RR years had related to driveshaft problems you may have read about was already fixed years ago by RR dealer. 6) Steering wheel is a little rough (not as bad as many listed here) and plastic coating is rubbed off in parts. In general plastic coating is a weak link on this era both on wheel and center counsel, this one is better than most, look close at other pics 7) Steering wheel heater works but seems to be mostly on lower left side of wheel where it gets quite hot to touch while most of wheel is still barely warm. In general if you want to make this car look new I’d replace steering wheel even though all button features on wheel work fine except level adjustment and heat issue mentioned 8) Both keys work but plastic buttons are worn out – a common problem. Bottom line, this truck needs nothing now to use and drives / looks like a RR with 50K miles and can be made 100% for less than most older RR need just to get the dash light warnings off (or even visible with missing pixels on older dashes). The difference between this and a $2k cheaper RR is not needing $8k+ in work in next few months to be usable and not just photograph ok. I know I spent over 10k in a year getting this one right. I’m available to show you the car most days/weekends (except Thursday & Friday). You should compare in person this one to others from 2003-2005 and you will see the difference. |

Environmental group accuses BMW, JLR of link to deforestation in Paraguay
Wed, Sep 30 2020ASUNCION, Paraguay — Environmental group Earthsight said on Wednesday it has linked some of Europe's largest carmakers to the deforestation of the Chaco, a dry forest region of Paraguay home to jaguars and one of the last uncontacted indigenous groups in the world. The group said in a report that livestock companies have illegally logged lands of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode indigenous ethnic group, some of whose members live in voluntary isolation. The livestock skin is used in leather upholstery of luxury vehicles sold by high-end European auto brands including BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover, the group said. UK-based Earthsight said it had made covert visits to tanneries that bragged about supplying the raw material to the luxury car brands. "BMW is using hides sourced from two slaughterhouses processing cows from ranches responsible for illegal [logging] in the Ayoreo Totobiegosode's forests. Jaguar Land Rover didn't dispute sourcing from a Paraguayan tannery that processes hides from another slaughterhouse doing the same," the report said. Jaguar Land Rover said in a statement to Reuters it had found no evidence to verify Earthsight's claims. It said its European suppliers assured sustainability. "We continue our drive for further transparency and, in this case, the leather supplier in Europe verifies with each raw material supplier that no rural property that directly supplies it is involved in illegal deforestation," the automaker said. BMW did not respond to a request for comment on the Earthsight investigation. Paraguay exports about 50,000 tons of wet-blue leather (tanned, but not dried, dyed or finished) a year, and almost two-thirds of those shipments are bound for Europe, according to the report. Automakers say that leather is a byproduct of the far larger meat industry and high-end cars constitute a comparatively small market niche. But indigenous leaders say deforestation driven by growth in beef and leather exports is encroaching on their territory and destroying their way of life. "As deforestation advances with extensive cattle ranching, they are being imprisoned, they are disappearing," Taguide Picanerai, a spokesman for the Ayoreo community in the Alto Paraguay department, northwest of Asuncion, told Reuters. The region is home to some of the world's highest rates of deforestation, Earthsight said.  Green BMW Jaguar Land Rover

Weekly Recap: Chrysler forges ahead with new name, same mission
Sat, Dec 20 2014Chrysler is history. Sort of. The 89-year-old automaker was absorbed into the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles conglomerate that officially launched this fall, and now the local operations will no longer use the Chrysler Group name. Instead, it's FCA US LLC. Catchy, eh? Here's what it means: The sign outside Chrysler's Auburn Hills, MI, headquarters says FCA (which it already did) and obviously, all official documents use the new name, rather than Chrysler. That's about it. The executives, brands and location of the headquarters aren't changing. You'll still be able to buy a Chrysler 200. It's just made by FCA US LLC. This reinforces that FCA is one company going forward – the seventh largest automaker in the world – not a Fiat-Chrysler dual kingdom. While the move is symbolic, it is a conflicting moment for Detroiters, though nothing is really changing. Chrysler has been owned by someone else (Daimler, Cerberus) for the better part of two decades, but it still seemed like it was Chrysler in the traditional sense: A Big 3 automaker in Detroit. Now, it's clearly the US division of a multinational industrial empire; that's good thing for its future stability, but bittersweet nonetheless. Undoubtedly, it's an emotion that's also being felt at Fiat's Turin, Italy, headquarters as the company will no longer officially be called Fiat there. Digest that for a moment. What began in 1899 as the Societa Anonima Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino – or FIAT – is now FCA Italy SpA. In a statement, FCA said the move "is intended to emphasize the fact that all group companies worldwide are part of a single organization." The new names are the latest changes orchestrated by CEO Sergio Marchionne, who continues to makeover FCA as an international automaker that has ties to its heritage – but isn't tied down by it. Everything from the planned spinoff of Ferrari, a new FCA headquarters in London and the pending demise of the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2016 has shown that the company is willing to move quickly, even if it's controversial. While renaming the United States and Italian divisions were the moves most likely to spur controversy, FCA said other regions across the globe will undergo similar name changes this year. Despite the mixed emotions, it's worth noting: The name of the merged company that oversees all of these far-flung units is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Obviously the Chrysler corporate name isn't completely history.
