1995 Land Rover Range Rover County Classic Sport Utility 4-door 3.9l on 2040-cars
Collierville, Tennessee, United States
|
I drove this car as my daily driver back and forth to work. It has always been reliable. The car handles well, has a great Pioneer stereo, and has been reliable, safe transportation. I drove the car from Memphis to Nashville and back a few of weeks ago, and I still love driving it.
However, the car doesn't really fit my needs anymore in that I really need a car that has more seating capacity (I have 4 kids). 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.
The trouble-prone air suspension system has removed and replaced with a standard coil-in-spring system. I also had a new water pump and thermostat, new alternator, Mallory ignition system, replaced the hoses from the power steering pump. The tires are in good shape. The car starts every morning, the transmission shifts smoothly, and the transfer case works fine as well. The cruise control does not engage.The air conditioner does not work (needs a new compressor).The power windows work, as well as the sunroof.The heater works. All of the lights work except one right side driving light. This car has never been owned by a smoker.
There are no rust issues. There is paint oxidation on the hood and roof, but no rust.
The headliner fabric is tight. There are, however some cracked interior plastic trim pieces, but over all nice. The glass sunroof is flawless and does not leak.
The seat warmers also don't work. I'm not sure if they were inoperative when I received the car, but they don't get hot. But since the car has been garaged every day, and it doesn't get that cold here in Memphis, it hasn't been a problem.
The driver seat power works in every direction except recline. It worked when I got it, but at some point stopped. The passenger seat reclines/adjusts and is very comfortable.
The 6-CD cassette player that came originally is no longer there. I replaced the factory cassette stereo with an after market Pioneer that has aux. and USB port and will charge your phone. I also replaced the front door speakers and the rear speakers with Pioneer, as well.
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 and dash cluster functions as it should. The fuel gauge works, too.
There are no oils leaks. I have noticed a little fluid near the power steering pump, but nothing drastic and the reservoir is not low. 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. I have heard that 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 Memphis to have the troubleshooting done and, potentially, new sensors installed.
The car comes with the original owner's manual along with manuals for the stereo.

Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
Jaguar opens new engine plant in the UK
Thu, 30 Oct 2014The heads of Jaguar Land Rover are having a busy couple of weeks opening factories. Just days after inaugurating the company's first overseas plant in China, the automaker's new Engine Manufacturing Center in the UK is being inaugurated, as well. The plant near Wolverhampton, England, marks the first time in decades that JLR is building its own powerplants in-house. Further signaling the importance of this launch for the business, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were on hand and even tweeted about it.
The factory's first major project is to build JLR's latest Ingenium four-cylinders, starting with the 2.0-liter diesel version. "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is an important step in advancing the competitiveness and capability of the UK automotive sector. The production of in-house engines will support the expansion of the UK supply chain providing critical mass for inward investment," said Trevor Leeks, plant operations director in the automaker's announcement.
Opening the doors to the Engine Manufacturing Center has been years in the making for JLR. The plant was first announced in September 2011 and broke ground in June 2012. Building it cost the company 500 million pounds ($800 million) and created 1,400 new jobs. Of course, being a state-of-the-art factory, considerations were made to make the place as energy efficient as possible. That meant installing the UK's largest solar array with 21,000 panels to produce about 30 percent of the site's electricity needs.
Going high-tech, the 4x4 way
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Is It An Off-Road Adventure Or Just A Walk In The Park?
I remember having to get out and lock hubs and shift into neutral to engage low range.
Coming off press previews of the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee that involved some heavy-duty off-road rock climbing, I'm simply amazed at the capabilities that these vehicles possess. But even more impressive (or troubling depending on your perspective) is the relative ease with which you can operate these vehicles in seemingly impossible terrain.
