See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"old Rover, yes, it has scratches, I used it. Sometimes I even squeezed between shrubs too narrow for a normal person. Lets just say it has scratches everywhere, that way no one will whine that I didn't mention a scratch. It amazingly only has three small dents, two of which would not show in photos; one is on the front passenger door, small circular depression about an inch across; the other is in the left rear quarter panel and is about 8 inches long, by an inch wide and a small depression; both show no signs of paint chipping. The third dent is evident in the photos; its on the bottom edge of the right rear quarter panel. Car has signs of rust starting in a few places, further details in description section. Paint on the bonnet/hood is fading and will not buff out."

Selling my LWB that I've owned for 13 years, purchased when it was only 6yrs. old.  I am moving and unable to take this vehicle along.


Unlike all the other posts for Range Rovers and LWB's, my listing is not going to gloss over anything, tell you what an astounding vehicle it is for its age or show the shine on tires that have been "Armor-all-ed".  Mine needs washed for starters, and has lots of little things that need attention.  Its an old Rover that is starting to show its age.  Please do NOT bid/buy with the hope of having a new car or like new - its 20yrs old!  I had hoped to keep this and eventually put a Mercedes 300TD engine in it.  If you are not familiar with this conversion, there are several You-Tube how-to videos that cover this.  It does bolt directly to the existing transmission except for having to notch the housing due to different starter locations.  

The GOOD:  It runs and stops and never left me stuck anywhere; I have owned other Rovers in my life that have.  Replaced motor at 140,000 with another 4.2 that only had 65,000 miles on it.  It has True-Track, torsen-style, limited-slip differentials front and rear that I put in two years ago when I replaced the viscous clutch which had locked and ruined the rear factory differential.  New alternator and water pump installed within last year.  Radiator recored about four years ago.  It comes with a factory dog screen/guard that fits between the cargo area and rear seat; currently not installed but does so with only two screws.  While not in the pictures, I do have the rear parcel tray (and tire cover, etc.) that fits over the rear cargo area.  I am including an extra set of four rims (only two show in photos); the tires on them however are not usable.

The BAD:  The windows currently do not work.  I swapped in another window computer and it did not solve the problem.  Still unresolved.  The sunroof, while it does work, needs to have the tracks cleaned and adjusted.  The center console unit is broken and does not stay together; it will needs some attention/epoxy/wood/plastic/surgery to do so. The radio is with the car but not currently installed; it does have the rear CD-changer unit and ADS speaker system.  Headliner has the dropsies over the rear cargo area.  Rust: I showed the two areas where there is rust through the floor; one picture shows an area to the left of the drivers seat box where a rust hole developed in a small area under the carpeting from the window leaking over time.  The other photo/rust area is in the right side of the cargo area along a seam in the rear floor.  There is rust starting under the bonnet/hood as can be seen in the photos.  There is also an indication of a rust bubble just starting on the rear hatch.  I removed and rust-proofed the hatch a few years ago and it was pretty sound and appears to still be so except for that one area.  The rear hatch however does not currently have the latching/locking mechanism in place, nor the gas struts (optional wood prop shown in photo is included at no additional cost...).  The engine has developed a mysterious and intermittent cut-out and I do not have the time or inclination to chase it.  I believe it may be related to the alarm system.  There is a slow leak in the right rear air spring.  I know this because it made the air suspension system fault and ride on the stop bumps.  Because my closest Rover dealer is 90 miles away, I plumbed in air lines to the regular lines so that it can be inflated manually.  Works great.  There is a lad online that offers free software to be able to reset your air suspension computer without having to recalibrate.  All you need is a computer with either an RS232 port or USB, make a cable to fit (he includes instructions) and off you go.  Again, yet another project I did not get around to doing.  Again, this is an old car.  If you do not know how to work on cars, don't bid/buy.  If you have never owned a Rover, no not bid/buy.  If your mate/life partner complains you do not spend enough time with them, do not buy this car.  If you love to work on cars, have owned a Rover before and your wife likes the fact you work on cars cause it keeps you at home, then buy this car.  If you need a great parts car, buy this truck; the True-Trac differentials alone will make this a good buy.

If you are looking for a Rover and not looking to spend a lot of money, this is the Rover for you.  The issues it has are ones that will only require your time and not much, if any of your money.

I am gearing up to move so I no longer have immediate internet access.  If you email with questions it may take me a day or more to answer, so apologies ahead of time for that.  I am located in State College, PA and the car is for sale locally as well.  

Conditions of the sale are simple:  Paypal deposit of $500 upon close of auction, balance and pick-up of vehicle within 7 days of auction end (again, I am moving 2000 miles away and need to be on my way ASAP).

A hybrid and electric Corvette, plus we drive the Ioniq 5 | Autoblog Podcast #728

Fri, May 6 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. Zac drove the electric 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Greg drove the fire-breathing 2022 Maserati Levante Trofeo. The two dive deep into the relatively heavy news week by starting off with a discussion about the upcoming hybrid Corvette before chatting about what the electric Corvette might be like. They have a chat about the possibility of Porsche and Audi officially joining the Formula 1 field. Then, Greg and Zac get into some quick-hitting news to round out the segment by dissecting the updated Kia Soul (now without a turbo), the 30th Anniversary Edition Land Rover Defender and the new CEO at Aston Martin. Following the news and drive reviews, they rope in Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder to give them a quick download of what went down at the first drive for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning. Finally, they reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from someone who is less than pleased about infotainment systems in some new cars. And lastly, the gang hears back from someone they helped out in a prior Spend My Money segment on the podcast. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Jaguar Land Rover to cut output and jobs due to Brexit, diesel slump

Fri, Apr 13 2018

LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover will cut around 1,000 jobs and production at two of its English factories due to a fall in sales caused by uncertainty around Brexit and confusion over diesel policy, a source told Reuters. Output will be cut at its central English Solihull and Castle Bromwich plants, affecting some 1,000 agency workers, the source said. A spokesman at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) declined to comment on the number of jobs which would be lost but the firm said it would be making changes to its output plans. "In light of the continuing headwinds impacting the car industry, we are making some adjustments to our production schedules and the level of agency staff," the company said in a statement. It is not renewing the contracts of a number of agency staff at the Solihull site and would be informing staff on Monday of its plans for the 2018-19 financial year. In January, the firm said it would temporarily reduce production at its other British plant of Halewood later this year in response to weakening demand due to Brexit and tax hikes on diesel cars but did not detail any job losses. Jaguar sales are down 26 percent so far this year whilst Land Rover demand dropped 20 percent in its home market as buyers shun diesel, concerned over planned tax rises and possible bans and restrictions in several countries. "It's been obvious to everyone that sales have been dropping," the source said. British new car registrations have been falling for a year which the car industry body has partly blamed on weakening consumer confidence in the wake of the Brexit vote, after record demand in 2015 and 2016.

Your guide to vehicle subscription services

Mon, Oct 1 2018

They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.
