I am selling my 2003 Range Rover.  I am selling it because the timing chain guides have broken.  Import Specialists in Springfield, MO says it will be $3,000-4500 to repair the car.  I have a long list of recent repairs that were done either under my ownership, or the previous owner's ownership.  I bought the car in June 2013.  The biggest thing that has been done is a Remanufactured Transmission from Atlantic British.  Cost of the transmission was $4200, and Land Rover in Tulsa installed it.  This was done by the previous owner, and I have receipts for both the transmission and installation.  This Rover is very clean inside and out!  It was originally a California car, so there is no rust.  Non Smoker owned.

  Here is the list of recent repairs:

Remanufactured Transmission from Atlantic British and installed by Land Rover Tulsa at around 127,000 miles

Air Suspension removed, and converted to Coil Suspension

New Radiator, Fan Clutch, Water Pump, Thermostat, Expansion Tank, and ALL Coolant hoses.

Valley Pan Gasket replaced

New Drivers Side Front Turn Signal Assembly (original was cracked)

New Struts for Hood and Hatch

New Stabilizer Bar Links, Thrust Arm Bushings, and Ball Joints

New Side Trim Panels for Driver's and Passenger's side front seats.  These are commonly cracked, and or very dirty.  

Pair of Land Rover Winter Wiper Blades

New Throttle Body

Battery replaced last winter

New Fuel Pump and Fuel Filter

New Valve Cover Gaskets and Upper Timing Cover Gaskets. This doesn't matter much since this will all have to come apart anyway.

5 new tires, and it has been recently aligned.

Kenwood Stereo with Back Up Camera.

I have invested a lot of money into this vehicle.  As stated earlier, the estimate to repair the vehicle is $3,000 for the timing chain guides. IF it is determined that any valves have been bent, and head work is required than the cost of repair can go up to about $4500.  I am confident that once the motor is repaired, this will have many years of service ahead of it.  Unfortunately for me, I no longer have the patience or willingness to spend any more money on this vehicle. This is a case of my loss is your gain.  Please feel free to email, call or text with any questions.

Buyer pays for shipping!  The engine does indeed run, though it is not recommended to start it up for fear of ruining the valves.

This is a no reserve auction!

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race

Thu, Mar 17 2016

We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:

Jaguar-Land Rover will use recycled waste to make parts for future models

Thu, Oct 1 2020

Jaguar-Land Rover's future models will be partially made of junk. The company announced it's working on integrating a recycled material named Econyl into its manufacturing process in the coming years. Created in 2011 by Italy-based Aquafil, Econyl is a fiber made with a blend of recycled industrial plastics, fabric offcuts sourced from clothing manufacturers, and discarded fishing nets aimlessly floating around the ocean. It's more eco-friendly to produce than oil-based fibers, according to Jaguar, and it helps clean up the planet. Jaguar and Land Rover will use Econyl to make floor mats in the not-too-distant future. Neither company listed the models they'll put the material in, but it's reasonable to assume recycled floor mats will be available in the next-generation XJ, which will be electric, and the next-generation Range Rover. Both will be released in 2021. Eco-friendly materials are slowly but surely spreading across the luxury car segment. Jaguar already offers the I-Pace with a Kvadrat upholstery that combines regular wool and up to 53 recycled plastic bottles per car. Audi's fourth-generation A3 is optionally available with an upholstery made largely using recycled plastic bottles, and Volvo estimates at least 25% of the plastics in its cars will be recycled starting in 2025. Environmentalist organizations are putting an increasing amount of pressure on carmakers to deliver so-called vegan interiors. A group called EarthSight recently accused several companies (including Jaguar-Land Rover and BMW) of using leather from cattle raised on illegally logged lands in Paraguay. Representatives for the British company stressed they found no evidence to verify EarthSight's claims. Related Video:

Jaguar reportedly prepping fully electric F-Pace

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Tesla might want to take a look over its shoulder because there could be a cat catching its Model X in a few years. Jaguar reportedly has a fully electric vehicle under development that is possibly based on the upcoming F-Pace crossover, and it could be on sale in Europe as soon as 2018. Autocar cites anonymous "well-placed industry sources" as the foundation for the rumor and believes that Jag's future CUV would be the most likely recipient of the new powertrain. The battery electric technology would reportedly be shared with the brand's partners at Land Rover to keep costs down, and a range of around 300 miles would be the target. The F-Pace is reportedly already being prepped with a number of drivetrain options. JLR's latest 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and supercharged 3.0-liter V6 are likely choices. However, a hybrid version is rumored, as well. JLR has been taking baby steps towards electrification for quite some time. Perhaps the biggest example was the introduction of the Range Rover Hybrid, but Land Rover has also been rumored to have an EV version of its flagship SUV under development too. The company already tested several electric Defenders, as well. From Jaguar's camp, the automaker recently trademarked the EV-Type name in the US and Europe, and its C-X75 concept had a very interesting hybrid system. The reason for all of this EV development from the Brit brands is to adhere to constricting emissions rules around the world, according to Autocar. The EU is moving to real world testing possibly as soon as 2017, and US regulators continue to work towards cleaning up the cars here, too.
