For sale is my 1991 Range Rover with just under 103,000 original miles. I purchased it in early summer this year in hopes to fully restore its original beauty and make it my daily driver. Unfortunately, this "dream" will have to wait until another time period and I regretfully need to sell due to financial reasons. Since purchased I have put less than 500 miles on it; most recently being a 95 mile round trip utilizing highway (70-80 mph) and city (25-45 mph) roads. I must say that I am very impressed with the way that it drives.

Being that I have only owned it a couple months, I can only tell you what I know to the best of my knowledge. With that being said, here is my best shot at an overview:

This RR has 102,423 original miles (which may change due to occasional driving and being listed locally). It is green in color and could really benefit from a new paint job. To be honest, this was going to be the first thing that I planned on getting done after winter. I planned on having minor body work done on the rust areas (as shown in the pictures) and then a complete paint job after winter. As I just mentioned, it has some rust bubbling under the paint in some areas and surface rust as well, mostly on the bumper and hitch (also shown in pictures). The tires in my estimate have about 85% tread left and all seem to show consistent wear. The spare is there, but would recommend replacing it for a more reliable tire.

This RR is equipped with cruise and I honestly have not tried to use it so I am not sure if it works. I can check it if requested, but since I never use it on my family vehicles, I never tested it. The radio has a cassette player, but currently no sound comes out of the speakers. There is power to the stereo, but no sound. I have not checked it out to see if the issue is the connection or the speakers. It also has air / heat. I can say that the blower works, but the air is not ice cold and it has not been cold enough to check the heater. The sun/moon roof works as do the power seats, power mirrors, and all 4 power windows. The front and rear wipers work and I was told that the rear brakes were replaced. I was also told that the pitman ball arms were replaced in the front before I purchased it which makes the steering feel tight. It also comes with new brake pads and rotors for the front and rear (as shown in the pictures in a box). All that needs to be done is install. The interior for its age looks amazing...especially the rear seats and floor.

The worst things that I can mention about this RR is there is a 1.4amp battery drain that over time will kill the battery (previous owner informed me). The previous owner installed a twist know battery connection that cuts the power to the vehicle when parked for long periods of time. I had it parked for a week with the disconnect and then started it right up when reconnected (this was also something I was going to investigate getting fixed to make it a more reliable daily driver). The windshield wash light comes on and off even though it is full. I haven't been able to see if there is a loose connection to the sensor, but that would be the first place I would check. The engine light comes on after a period of time. I narrowed it down to after it is running for a while when warmed up, if you sit in park or are stuck in traffic for a period of time (stop light) is when it comes on. I did drive it last week for about 2 hours with shutting off the vehicle a couple times for about 5 min each. During a 30 min consistent 25-40 mph drive and no long idles, the check engine light did not come on; hence my original assumption. I am not a mechanic so I have no real idea what it could be. I drove it 70 miles with it on and had no issues...and as mentioned I drove it for about 35-40 miles with no long idling and the light never came on. To me there isn't anything that seems to affect the vehicle, but again, I am not a mechanic. Also, the headliner is sagging and needs to eventually be repaired / replaced. This is typical on these older RR's.

Please remember that this is a 22 year old vehicle and is far from being new. You will hear the "creaks and squeaks" of a true truck of this age and will always have something that will need attention. I will say though that I have been looking for one for a long time and this is one of the lowest mileage RR's that I have found this old. If I didn't run into the immediate financial need, I would not be listing this as it took me a long time to find one with these miles and current shape without any restoration done to it.

If you have any questions, I will try to answer them to the best of my knowledge.  I apologize if there is anything I forgot, but I hope my description covers it as well as the pictures.

Winning bidder is responsible for a $500 non-refundable deposit.  Remaining balance needs to be paid by certified funds or cash.  Shipping is the responsibility of the winning bidder; however I prefer local pickup.  I can only assist by being available at time of pickup if winning bid is not local and shipping is required.  I also have this listed locally and have the right to cancel the listing at any time.  If seriously interested, please contact me after bidding so I can communicate any local interest which might negate the high bid.

Thanks for looking!

Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car

Fri, Jan 6 2017

Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.

Jaguar Land Rover parent Tata posts a loss over coronavirus

Tue, Oct 27 2020

BENGALURU — India's Tata Motors posted a wider loss for the September quarter on Tuesday as the COVID-19 pandemic sapped demand in several of its key markets. The global health crisis has hammered sales for automakers worldwide and compounded problems for Tata Motors, which was trying to improve Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) sales amid weak demand and uncertainty related to Brexit. Tata Motors reported a consolidated net loss of 3.14 billion rupees ($42.47 million) for the second quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with a loss of 2.17 billion rupees a year earlier. Retail unit sales at luxury car unit JLR, which rakes in most of the company's revenue, was down nearly 12% for the reported quarter. Tata Motors, however, said it expects JLR sales to gradually improve. "Despite concerns around the risk of a second wave of (COVID-19) infections ... we expect a gradual recovery of demand and supply in the coming months," the carmaker said in an exchange filing. Total revenue from operations fell 18.2% to 535.3 billion rupees. Tata Motors said it was committed to achieving near-zero net automotive debt in the coming years. Shares of Tata Motors ended 1.46% higher on Tuesday while the broader Mumbai market settled 1.03% higher.

Jaguar may join the FWD, small-car parade

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Was it right for Chevrolet to detune the 1975 Corvette's base engine to 165 horsepower? Was Aston Martin wrong to make the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet? Is BMW crazy to be testing the new 1 Series with three-cylinder engines and front-wheel drive? It seems now, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, that emissions regulations and social considerations are driving some automakers to adopt unbefitting practices to maintain acceptance in the eyes of governments and consumers. Jaguar has jumped on the bandwagon, and is considering development of small, frugal, front-wheel-drive cars to help lower Jaguar Land Rover's average vehicle CO2 levels in light of tightening European emissions regulations, Autocar reports.
By 2020, the European Union expects the model range of every manufacturer to average 95 grams per kilometer, which is a new law passed by the European Parliament in April. Manufacturers who make more than 300,000 vehicles per year must meet these targets, and JLR is expected to be producing up to 700,000 vehicles per year by then. CO2 regulations after 2020 will only get stricter, as EU politicians already are talking about lowering CO2 levels to between 68 g/km and 78 g/km. (To put that in perspective, Autocar posits that driving a fully charged electric vehicle in Europe produces about 75 g/km when factoring in the power-generation infrastructure.)
Jaguar has some choices here, but so far they all have drawbacks. It could develop a new, compact chassis architecture for a line of compact vehicles, but the investment required for such a project could be prohibitively expensive. Jaguar has been looking into using the Land Rover Evoque platform for a small SUV, Autocar reports, but Land Rover brand manager John Edwards raises issue with such a plan, saying it may not be financially feasible.
