NOTE: Car is not in SEATTLE, it's in West Richland WA. I recently purchased this truck from the original owner in Seattle. Car was advertised as needing head gaskets. I have replaced the head gaskets with Victor set, heads were tested free of cracks and resurfaced. I chose not to do valve job because the machine shop said with the miles that were on the car I shouldn't need it... I think that was a bad Idea in retrospect. PO told me that at 60K the head gaskets went bad and the shop asked them if they'd like to just have them install a new short block at the time and they did, though I can't prove that and the dumb-butt previous owners can't find their records because of divorce chaos, I don't have any reason to doubt them and the high compression indicates this is true.Currently car is running very nicely, good power and crisp throttle response, no overheating. When I filled the coolant system after HG's I did put some liquid glass tablets in the system as preventative maintanence as many auto manufactures do with brand new cars. Car does not have the SAI (secondary air injection) which makes it quite a bit simpler and less to go wrong. All electrical components work fine except rear sunroof, heater system is perfect and the AC blows cold, tires are 70%, stops fine with a bit of squeek from the front brakes (rotors worn) rear fine rotors good, ACE system good, ABS fine no lights, traction control and 4x4 good (see pic), exhaust good. Car has no rust visible anywhere, under carriage clean, steering tight and smooth, transmission shifts perfectly, shocks good, no windshield cracks. Exterior paint very nice, one scratch on drivers door (see pic), one quarter sized ding in door. Interior very nice, color camel leather, no cracks or damage, seats show some fading is all, fix with proper dye and leather treatment, floor mat worn drivers side, original took kit, jack etc present... car runs and drives NICE. I have replaced two o2 sensors with generic sensors chasing the codes, and think that was also a bad idea, seems these things like OEM and that's it. Also replaced one rattling cat converter, flushed power steering, new plugs and "Kingsborne" wires, air filter, oil change. Note photo, of testing the car for combustion chamber leaks and cracked block/ slipped liner problem, results negative for any problems (BLUE). Car is throwing some codes, PO447 (evap open, usually a fuel cap) PO102 (mass air flow sensor) PO112 (Intake air temp sensor) P1884 (?) and misfire cyl 5 and multiple random misfires (don't have the codes handy). The o2 sensors fixed the rich condition and no signal from o2 sensor codes. Far as the codes go I don't have the time (or patience mostly) to get into this, first step would probably be to do vacuum test (haven't yet) and or Air flow sensor, maybe coil pack. IT"S POSSIBLE that the car needs a valve job in light of the compression readings. This amounts to full disclosure on the truck, should be a good reliable runner with codes fixes but the usual caveats apply here as this is a land rover after all ;-) Tomorrow will take pics of the interior. Compression is 180 178 150 150 (left bank) 180 170 160 150 (right bank). Car should be fine for pick up and trip home, I have put about 500 trouble free miles on this since the head gasket fix. Thank you.

Land Rover Defender V8, next Range Rover, new BMW M3 share the Nurburgring
Thu, Jul 23 2020From open-track days to 24-hour races, so many events are held on Germany's Nurburgring track that carmakers need to share the tarmac with their rivals to put new models through their paces. Industry pool days are normally closed to the public, but a seven-minute video reveals what Land Rover, BMW, and several others are testing. Posted on YouTube by StatesideSupercars, the video shows prototypes racing around the track in the mid-summer heat. Land Rover's engineers are busy putting the final touches on the V8-powered variant of the new Defender, which our spies have previously spotted testing in its home country of England, and they're developing what looks like the high-performance, SVR-badged version of the next-generation Range Rover due out in 2020. As we reported earlier in 2020, the hot-rodded Defender packs a 5.0-liter V8 between its fenders, though its horsepower and torque outputs remain under wraps. Unverified rumors claim it will arrive as a limited-edition model to avoid sending Land Rover's fleet-wide CO2 emissions through the roof. And, the video confirms chassis engineers have made extensive modifications to the SUV's suspension, partly to keep body roll in check. Walking down the pits, members of BMW's testing team are getting up early to put track miles on an enigmatic variant of the face-lifted M5, and on the next-generation M3. We've already seen the M5 in the metal, so why is it still camouflaged? One possible answer is that we're looking at the rumored CS version, which should receive a 641-horsepower V8 thanks to software tweaks and a better cooling system. The simpler (and more boring) possibility is that BMW isn't quite done testing the M5, and it doesn't want to waste time removing the black and white wrap. Your author regularly spotted i8 prototypes in full camouflage regalia months after its debut. As for the M3, much has already been said about its mammoth grille, which seemingly mirrors the one worn by the new 4 Series. Autoblog drove a pre-production prototype in June and walked away impressed. It receives an evolution of the X3 M's 3.0-liter straight-six turbocharged to 473 horsepower, though selecting the optional Competition package will increase that figure to 503. And, fear not: The six-speed stick is coming back. Land Rover and BMW aren't the only companies playing on the 'Ring.

GM, Audi, Jaguar halt Russian sales amidst ruble's collapse
Fri, Dec 19 2014The value of Russia's ruble currency has sunk like a stone tossed in the Volga for much of the year, losing over 40 percent of its worth since June. The change is having bizarre effects on the auto industry there and leaving some automakers scrambling to adjust. According to Bloomberg, Russians are buying up luxury goods including automobiles at the moment to have a physical investment in case the ruble sinks further. However, with the money worth so little, the companies aren't making much from these transactions. Things are so dire that several automakers are temporarily ending deliveries until the situation stabilizes. According to Bloomberg, General Motors stopped sales on December 16 with no set date to start again. Audi did the same thing but with the intention to resume once it has adjusted model pricing. Jaguar Land Rover terminated business until December 19 to see how things changed. Toyota is increasing its pricing, as well, but keeping business open at the same time. Some automakers have subtly been reacting to the slumping Russian auto market all year. The moves have included Volkswagen cutting production by 30,000 units from its factory in Kaluga. Ford also got rid of 950 workers from two plants due to low demand. Some analysts have even speculated that the contracting industry and possibility of lower import duties into the country could cause companies to end their manufacturing in Russia completely.
