This wonderful 1995 Range Rover Classic LWB has been my daily driver for the past 4+ years. Its proven to be very reliable on long trips as I've driven it from New Jersey to New Orleans and back twice a year since owning it, without any issues. I've been reassigned to San Diego and have decided not to take the Landy with me since I won't be needing a daily driver.

I've kept up with regular oil changes every 5,000 miles and I change the differential fluid every 10,000. Around 123,000 miles the transmission fluid was drained and a new filter was installed as well as a new fuel and air filter. Around that time the Rover was lifted 2" using Big Blue Springs and Pro Comp Shocks sourced from DAP. The brake rotors, pads, two hubs, and bearings on all four wheels were also replaced. The tires are BF Goodrich All terrain T/A KO with approximately 8,000 miles on them. Less than 500 miles ago I replaced all the spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and ignition coil (bosch) with genuine parts. The viscous coupling unit in the transfer case was just replaced a month ago and the truck is turning like a dream now. I had it overheat on me once while I was driving around Pensacola in August, so I replaced the viscous fan clutch and have not had any trouble since. Other small thing which have been done are replacing the roto-flex coupling, all three u joints, new gaskets on the y pipe, a new starter motor, and four new mudflaps. It has a new battery as of 2 weeks ago. The head gasket, serpentine belt, tensioner, and stepper motor were all replaced by the previous owner shortly before I bought the truck.

A while back the rear ring and pinion in the rear differential failed on me, just before I was planning on a longer trip. Being pressed for time I decided to replace the entire differential with a used unit instead of rebuilding the old one. The replacement has done just fine driving around, but the bearing in it whines and will have to be addressed at some point. The power steering hoses leak slightly, I've tightened them before which temporarily stops the leak, but it always comes back.

The leather in the interior has held up very well over the years. The headliner is sagging mostly in the rear of the vehicle.

The body has a couple of dings and dents in the sides and the hood, but is otherwise in pretty good shape. The under body is clear of rust and the only problem is a bolt in panel behind the right rear wheel well (pictured). The hood is the only part of the body showing rust and it has manifested as a few small holes. The rear hatch must have been replaced at some point during the Rovers life because it shows absolutely no rust.

If you have any questions about the truck or would like pictures of something specific, please let me know and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. If you'd like to ship the vehicle you'll have to arrange it yourself, but I'll be happy to assist with getting it on the flatbed.

Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations could build standalone models

Sun, Mar 8 2015

Jaguar Land Rover may be set to turn its Special Vehicle Operations division into something much bigger than a mere in-house tuner. Bloomberg spoke to the head of JLR's high-performance, customization outfit, John Edwards, who hinted that his team may move beyond simply modifying F-Types, Range Rovers and the like. "We're certainly looking at that, and we've got the capability to do that," Edwards told AN. "Is there an opportunity for us to do a completely standalone car? Maybe." Such a move into full-scale, standalone models would be a big step, particularly for a division that's still kind of in its infancy. Bloomberg references the success of Mercedes-AMG, but the German division has had the benefit of decades of growth. AMG spent years and years building high-performance versions of all manner of mainstream Mercedes vehicles, before moving onto cars like the SLS AMG and AMG GT, which have no mainstream analog. In other words, AMG had a long time to develop a reputation building high-performance vehicles that people know and recognize before it moved into building vehicles of its own. We aren't entirely convinced that SpecOps wouldn't benefit from taking a similar approach, delivering additional SVR vehicles, like the rumored XE SVR, before striking out on its own. We'd like to know what you think, though. Is it already time for Special Vehicle Operations to build standalone models, or should it learn to walk before it runs by modifying more of Jaguar Land Rover's existing product.

Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.
