 This is a 1993 Range Rover Classic LWB that I've had for about 4 years, and driven it about 20k miles. It was shipped here to CT from Idaho, and has NO rust problems at all. MANY more photos available via e-mail.

I maintained this rig to be a fun trail truck, and the body has suffered dings and scratches as a result. The biggest is the left rear door, which has a BIG ding in it, but does not affect the door seal or door operation at all. I bought it this way from Idaho, and I don't even notice it anymore. Kind of adds character.

Some common chronic problems with this model are present:

Headliner is sagging. Currently tacked up in places with common thumbtacks. Works great.

ABS and TC light are on, and have been for a while. Both systems worked great for about a year after I got it, then the light came on. I have not determined which wheel sensor is causing it.

Seat ECU has been un-plugged on the driver's side. Passenger side works. Seats were swapped in from a pristine '95 LWB, and the driver's seat and mirrors went haywire soon after (acting on their own as if possessed). I've read this is a corroded battery in the ECU under the seat. I jumped the driver's seat manually to adjust to my position, then left it there. Seat motor DOES work.

Suspension swapped (by me) over to 2" OME springs and Bilsteins. Rides better than my '04 Grand Cherokee. Suspension air tank still in place.

A/C compressor seized (bought it that way, never bothered to install a rebuilt one).

Heater core replaced by the PO, heat COOKS.

Ignition module re-located by me to the driver's side fender.

STACKS of maintenance receipts from the PO.

Does not have original stereo (came that way), but I installed a Dual head unit with integral iPod dock and Bluetooth, and wired in (2) moveable box speakers in the back. The upper cargo speakers are still in place and work, just not hooked up. The front door and A-pillar speakers still work. Sounds nice.

Rear subwoofer box converted to a useable tool box. Spare removed from the rear to add cargo space. I do have a full-size (LT235/85r16) AT spare.

Aside from the TC not working, and an occasional weird stalling that I haven't figured out (no pattern; stalls, then can be started within seconds and runs again just fine), thid truck is TIGHT. Does not drip a drop of oil.

Mechanically, it's a daily driver as is, doesn't need brakes or exhaust or steering or ANYTHING.
 Please, serious inquiries only. This is a rock-solid driver that has no big unknowns to fix.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.

Land Rover, Toyota big winners in ALG top resale value awards

Brabus takes on Range Rover Sport with Startech widebody kit

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Of 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.
