1998 Land Rover Range Rover HSE 4.6

I purchased this car in 2011 and am the 4th owner.  I have meticulously repaired and maintained the car with the idea of keeping it forever.  After recently acquiring more toys, my garage space has become limited so unfortunately she needs to find a new home.  I will do my best to detail everything about the car.  I have spent lots of time and money to keep her in great shape so the sale is a bit bitter-sweet for me.  I have invested well over $8,000.00 in the last three years into the car.

Condition of car:

Engine runs strong, does not smoke or burn oil, she runs well for 179k miles.  Transmission run well and shifts through all gears. Both front differentials have been replaced with low mileage used units, filled with synthetic fluid and use a disco magnetic drain plug to accumulate debris and extend life.  Both front wheel bearing/hubs have been replaced (expensive parts).  All electronic system work and function properly while there are (NO CODES) or dash lights indicating any errors or repairs needed.  I have only 1 key but key fob works great.I also have the original Land rover leather book in the glove box with the manual. Paint is in decent to good shape and is original although she has a few dings and small scratches as most 16 year old cars would have.  I would give the paint  a 7 out of 10 as I am a stickler for detail.  I have made my best attempt to show the imperfections in my pictures in the spirit of full disclosure.  Interior is good, there are some scratches on the door panels from a previous owners dog but could be easily repaired by a interior specialist.  Leather seats are in good shape with no tears.  Rear seats are perfect while the fronts are decent but could use a redye to get back to original condition.  Brakes have been replaced and serviced all around (pads and rotors).  Headlights have been updated with XENON HID and I have the original lights if you want to revert back to OEM. Front side markers have been updated to euro white style and the front yellow markers are replaced with VALEO OEM Japanese style clear markers (Very hard to find).  By getting rid of the yellow in the front of the car it has more Euro look.  Every component has been replaced or rebuilt in the air suspension system and works like a charm. I am including a extra rebuilt EAS pump in the sale.  Many people tear out the beautiful air suspension systems in these cars because they have a hard time fixing the systems.  If you know P38's, part of the beauty of this car is its ride quality and self leveling air suspension.  When loading 6 or more people + luggage the ride is instantly adjusted so the car is riding at the perfect height.  Tires are new Firestone Destination ST with about 60-70% tread left. The tires are a great balance - they are very quite on the highway but handles well in rain and snow.  Its the perfect all weather tire for the car.  Rims are in great shape for the original Mondial's and have not been repainted or harshly curbed. There are a few scuffs on the edges of a few of the rims but overall they are in great shape. AC blows cold, compressor is new and system has been recently charged. Exhaust has been updated with a $650 stainless steel Magnaflow system.  Cats have been replaced with Magnaflow system as well so in essence new exhaust from the manifold back. Fuel injectors where upgraded with Bosch Gen3 for better gas mileage.
 
I have spent over $8,000.00 in the last three years bringing this car to great mechanical condition.  Here is a list of work that I have had done:
  • New Firestone FS Destination ST XL Tires (70% tread left)
  • Front differential replaced with a low mileage used unit (disco magnetic drain plug)
  • Rear differential replaced with a low mileage used unit (disco magnetic drain plug)

There is a bit of a small dent on the rear hatch (as shown in pictures) and some other small dings around the car as shown in the pictures. There is a very light scratch on the front left side of the bonnet as shown in pictures.  I have also included a video link to see and hear the car running.


The only existing issue I know of is the drivers door lock tumbler works intermittently however its not an issue as the keyfob works flawlessly to enter/exit and lock the car.  I think its just a loose connector rod in the door.  Other than that the car is in great shape, everything works as it should and the car drives well  The rear hatch has been debadged I have the Original Land Rover badge and will include with the auction.

Priced to sell fast the auction starts at $ 4,200 with no reserve. Car has clear Florida Title and I will require a $250 down payment within 24 hours of auction end.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs or pickup although I will help coordinate from my end with any shipper. Car is sold with no warranty or guarantee.  Feel free to email me any questions and PLEASE serious bidders only.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

Jaguar Land Rover releases a vintage-looking infotainment system for classics

Fri, Sep 7 2018

Jaguar and Land Rover have a new option for owners of its older vehicles: a touchscreen infotainment system. Much like the Porsche classic infotainment head unit released a few years ago, this one tries to blend in with its interior surroundings. Five distinct designs of these "Classic Infotainment Systems" are offered in an effort to have an option that fits well with the interior of any particular car offered by Jag or Land Rover over the past few decades. Chrome and black options are available for Jaguars, while brushed aluminum and black are the choices for Land Rovers. The infotainment system has navigation with 2D or 3D maps and Bluetooth audio. Sure, you don't need to stream Spotify in a 1970s Land Rover, but now you can. Jaguar says it'll offer much higher quality sound with a 4 x 45 watt output from the single DIN head unit, but you might need to upgrade those ancient speakers to actually take advantage of it. There's no mention of satellite radio like Porsche's unit offers, unfortunately. It is a radio though, so we get both AM and FM functionality. Jaguar says it's "compatible with negative earth vehicles" (newer vehicles use negative grounding systems) and retails for $1,796 before taxes in the U.S. You can buy and have it professionally fitted at an "authorized" Jaguar or Land Rover dealer if you'd like as well. It's easy to shake your fist at such a device for classic cars, but this head unit tried hard to be an elegant piece — we're still not sure about slotting it into an old E-Type though... Here are U.S. specific model fitments: Jaguar XJ40; XJS; XJ Series 3 Sedan Land Rover Defender 90, 110; Range Rover Classic (93-96); Discovery 1 (94-98); Freelander (97-04) Related Video: Featured Gallery Jaguar Land Rover Classic Infotainment System News Source: Jaguar Jaguar Land Rover Technology Infotainment

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.

Jaguar Land Rover partners with Nvidia for vehicle electronics and software

Wed, Feb 16 2022

DETROIT — Luxury automaker Jaguar Land Rover and Silicon Valley artificial intelligence company Nvidia said Wednesday they will collaborate to develop the computer brains and nervous systems for Jaguars and Land Rovers launching in 2025 and beyond. The companies did not disclose financial terms of their multiyear agreement. The collaboration is a high-profile win for Nvidia Corp's effort to expand its reach in the auto industry, building on its base in gaming, artificial intelligence and high-powered chips and software used in servers. For Jaguar Land Rover Automotive, the partnership with Nvidia gives it a well-funded ally as it tries to catch up with Tesla and other luxury vehicle rivals in a digital technology arms race. "We can now accelerate our in-vehicle software," Francois Dossa, JLR's executive director for strategy, said during a conference call. Working with Nvidia engineers, Jaguar Land Rover plans to develop vehicles that can drive themselves under certain conditions, park autonomously and provide more information and software-powered features to drivers, the companies said. The new Jaguars will be upgradable — as Tesla vehicles are today. The automaker said it will use Nvidia technology to power simulations used to train autonomous vehicles. Jaguar Land Rover has a previous deal with Alphabet Inc's Waymo unit to deploy autonomous driving technology. Dossa said the Waymo collaboration was limited to the Jaguar I-PACE electric SUV. The Nvidia alliance covers all Jaguar and Land Rover models to be launched from 2025. Nvidia technology will act as the brains and the nervous system of Jaguar Land Rover vehicles starting in 2025, said Nvidia's vice president of automotive, Danny Shapiro. Nvidia last month announced deals with several Chinese electric vehicle brands. The company has said it has $8 billion in automotive business booked over the next six years. Shapiro said the company will update the figure during an investor day scheduled for March 22. Jaguar Land Rover, a subsidiary of India's Tata Motors Ltd has been struggling with rising costs and semiconductor shortages. Jaguar Land Rover reported a narrow pretax profit for the quarter ended Dec. 31, but Tata Motors reported a larger quarterly loss than expected.
