Nice 1998 P38 Land Rover Range Rover HSE 4.6 P38 with only @ 72K miles. This is still our "nanny-mobile" so the mileage will change from limited weekly use, but not dramatically. Overall, the body and interior are very nice, with some minor normal wear and tear for a vehicle of this age. It's nicely appointed, including leather interior, fog lights, factory roof rack, (with cheap aftermarket roof basket mounted to that). It runs strong, fires right up, and goes anywhere. That said, the low reserve reflects the fact that this P38 needs some minor reconditioning. While the brakes are strong, the ABS and Traction Control lights are currently on. I think it also needs the temperature control servos that control the internal vent flap positions in the HEVAC system to direct hot or cold air where it is wanted. The stereo was working well, but recently stopped working, and I haven't looked into it. It might need a trip to a Rover mechanic to reset the computer. All power windows and sunroof work fine. Doors all open and close, but remote door lock fob does not open or lock all doors as it's supposed to. The title is a clean Wisconsin title, however it had a salvage title in Illinois in the past. I know nothing of the reason for the salvage: not sure if it was due to theft, or an accident, or? That said, I've owned the vehicle for years with no signs of collision related issues. There are no signs of past collision damage to the frame or body that I can see. Likewise with the prior owner: he also claimed no known issues related to the prior salvage title. As I said, the tile is now a clean Wisconsin title. Prior owner took the fog lights off, but I remounted them to the brush bar, but I have not reconnected them to the electric. What else can I tell you? Please do ask. Or come take it for a spin. If you don't know Range Rovers, they are amazing vehicles with spectacular off road capabilities. I've owned amazing 4x4's from reputable brands like Jeep, Chevy, International and Ford, and as much as I hate to admit it, the Rover blows them all away in the snow. For the right person, willing to do a little TLC, this is an awesome vehicle. Our daughter is starting full day school soon, and our nanny is off to New Jersey, so we're going to get rid of the Rover to make more room in the garage. Vehicle is located in central Chicago convenient to 94 and 290.

Aston Martin DB10 spied in action on James Bond Spectre set

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Spectre, the next film in the James Bond franchise, is due for release on November 6 of this year. That means there's filming happening right now all over Europe as scenes are stitched together, and one of them involves the Aston Martin DB10 shuffling through maneuvers at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. Our guess is that Bond has become an unwelcome guest at a fancy event – there's a Porsche 959 and a Bugatti EB110 in the courtyard Â– which is why he is forced to make one of his quick-reversing escapes under fire. While that was being captured last week, the Spectre production crew put together another behind-the-scenes clip from filming in Austria, which gives us a look at the Range Rover Sport SVR and Land Rover Defender "Bigfoot" crushing it up some snowy mountain passes. That clip is below. Yes, we're excited.

Jaguar Land Rover recalls Takata airbag-equipped cars

Fri, Aug 5 2016

In the latest chapter of what feels like the never-ending recall, Jaguar Land Rover announced that it's calling back 2009-2011 Jaguar XFs and 2007-2011 Land Rover Range Rovers for defective Takata airbags on the front passenger side. These Takata airbags have propellant that may have degraded and, if activated, could release metal shrapnel. The company is breaking up the recall into four phases, since currently there are not enough parts to do a full recall. Since the airbags can be more seriously affected by high heat and humidity, the first phase will cover vehicles that were sold and/or registered in regions with high temperatures and humidity. The regions included are as follows: Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. Other phases will begin as parts become available, and priority will be given to regions at greater risk of having defective equipment. Jaguar Land Rover encourages owners of affected vehicles to go to www.SaferCar.gov to check if their vehicle is included in the current recall. The first phase includes 54,000 of 108,000 affected vehicles. The company is also notifying owners of the issue, who will eventually get a second notification when parts are available so they can schedule a time to have the airbags replaced. Related Video:

Jaguar Land Rover says half its models will be hybrids or all-electric by 2020

Tue, Nov 22 2016

Neither Jaguar nor Land Rover has ever been mistaken for big-time green-car brands, but their parent company is trying to change that. Jaguar Land Rover looks to have as many as half of its models be of the hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or battery-electric variety by 2020, CEO Ralf Speth said at the Los Angeles Auto Show last week. Speth made the announcement while showing off the I-Pace concept compact crossover. The green-car expansion would mark a natural extension of Jaguar Land Rover's decision last year to double the headcount in its advanced-engineering department. As for the five-seat I-Pace, that model will be Jaguar Land Rover's first production electric vehicle when it starts sales in 2018. The car will have a 90-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack that will deliver a single-charge range of about 220 miles. Boasting more than 400 horsepower, the car will also be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about four seconds. What's also notable is that Jaguar says the model has been designed to be an electric vehicle from the ground up, and hasn't been converted from the platform of an existing model. Of course, Jaguar late last year said it would enter a team in the FIA Formula E electric-vehicle open-wheel racing circuit, so the British badge has made recent noise about upping its green-car quotient. As for the I-Pace, the automaker hasn't revealed pricing on the model, but it's safe to say that it will be quite high. Check out a three-minute video of Speth's presentation here. Related Video:
