I drove this car to
and from work every day for about 7 years, and I have to say that every day
that I get to drive this car, it’s a good day.
The car handles well, has a great Harmon Kardon stereo, and has been
reliable, safe transportation. I drove
the car up and back to Portland a couple of weeks ago, and I still love driving
it. However, the car
doesn't really fit our needs anymore in that we really need a car that has more
seating capacity. Also, I just don't get
to go off road that much anymore. But if you are a Land
Rover or 4x4 enthusiast, or you just want a big car that looks and runs great,
check this one out. The car weighs
around 4500 pounds, and has that thick, safe feel. When I bought this
car in March of 2005, I promptly had the trouble-prone air suspension system
removed and replaced with a standard coil-in-spring system. I also had the exhaust system replaced, a new
swivel ball installed, a new water pump, a new timing chain, tie rods, a new
fuel pump, and new fuel tank (part of the 1995 Range Rover fuel tank
recall). Most recently, I noticed that a
couple of the heater hoses looked a little sketchy, so I had those replaced
along with a new reserve coolant bottle.
The tires are in good shape and wear evenly. The car starts every morning, the
transmission shifts smoothly, and the transfer case works fine as well. The cruise control works; the air conditioner
works; the power windows work; the heater works; all of the lights work; the
car has never been owned by a smoker. There were some rust
issues when I first received the car. I
climbed under the car with some of that sticky, black rust protector stuff,
and, since then, I haven't noticed any additional rust, even after driving it
to work every day in the rainy Oregon climate. The headliner fabric
on the sunroof's sliding door has been recently glued. The glass sunroof is flawless and does not
leak. (It's just the inner headliner for
the sunroof door that isn't perfect.) The seat warmers also
don't work. I'm not sure if they were
inoperative when I received the car, or if it was a consequence of having the
air suspension system removed. But since
the car has been garaged every day, and it doesn't get that cold here in
Oregon, it hasn't been a problem. The
car comes with the genuine Land Rover seat covers as seen in the pictures. The front passenger
seat switch has a broken post. Back in
2005, I put some Velcro on the housing to keep the knob in contact with the
post so that you can still control the seat position, orientation, and so
forth. Both front seats recline/adjust
and are very comfortable. The 6-CD cassette
player, located in the rear of the car, still works very well. However, the in-dash tape player is a little
flaky. But the stereo speakers and the
subwoofer work. Occasionally, the
Anti-Lock warning lamp and the Traction Control warning lamp illuminate. However, I have never noticed any change in
the performance. The speedometer reads
about 8% higher than actual. So if it
says that you are going 65 mph, you might actually be going 60 mph. The fuel gauge also reads a tiny bit high, so
if you get too much below 1/4 tank, it’s time to get gas. The car leaks a
little power steering fluid and oil.
It's par for the course for these older Range Rovers. The SRS (air-bag)
lamp is illuminated. The car has not
been in any sort of accident or other event that might cause the airbag to
deploy. With these older cars, including
both of my old Mercedes Benzes, the air-bag sensors just get a little corroded,
and the controller is probably picking up a little extra resistance across that
sensor. This is a dealer-only item, and
I just haven't gotten around to going up to the Land Rover dealer in Portland
to have the troubleshooting done and, potentially, new sensors installed. The car comes with
the rear facing, occasional use, "jump seat." It's not a genuine Land Rover item. When the kids were little, they used to like
sitting in that seat so that they could stare out of the back window while we
drove around. As they are getting grown
up, they don't like doing that so much.
When you install the jump seat, you have to take out the rear driver
side faring that covers the spare tire.
I have shown in the pictures in both configurations along with the jack
that goes into the center of the spare tire. The car came with a copy of the owner's manual along with some other notes.

Lexus leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2021
Thu, Feb 18 2021J.D. Power's latest Vehicle Dependability Study is out, and, not surprisingly, Lexus sits at the top for the ninth time in the last 10 years. Right behind Lexus is Porsche, followed by Kia, which is the highest-ranked mass-market brand in the study. Genesis, last year's top-ranked brand (in its first year included in the results), fell from first to eighth, though the G80 sedan did earn an award in its midsize luxury segment. The Porsche 911 was called out as the Most Dependable Model by J.D. Power for the second time in the last three years. The vehicles being studied are from the 2018 model year, which means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's notable that this year's study shows a marked improvement in overall vehicle dependability as tracked by J.D. Power. The overall level of problems, scored by the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), declined by 10% compared to last year. "The study results validate what we have known for some time," said Dave Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D. Power. "Automakers are making increasingly dependable vehicles — but there are still some problem areas that need to be addressed and some warning signs on the horizon." Tesla makes its inaugural appearance on the Dependability Study, though its score of 176 PP100 isn't official. Tesla is the only automaker that has chosen not to grant J.D. Power permission to survey its owners in all 50 states. As we've pointed out in the past, the Vehicle Dependability Study includes eight major vehicle categories grouped by J.D. Power as follows: audio/communication/entertainment/navigation (ACEN); engine/transmission; exterior; interior; features/controls/displays (FCD); driving experience; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; and seats. All issues reported by owners are all tracked equally, which means a problematic phone pairing procedure dings an automaker's rating the same as a blown engine or transmission. And in fact, the ACEN category has more reported problems than any other, which means the majority of problems reported don't lead to a vehicle that leaves its owner stranded.

JustDrive will allegedly deliver on the long-promised idea of natural communication between driver and car.
Jaguar Land Rover's all-new InControl system is set to get a big bump as the British company will add a new service called JustDrive, which expands on the smartphone-focused infotainment system by adding a singular voice controller for a wide array of the system's currently available apps.
Editors' Picks March 2021 | Ford Mustang Mach-E, Polestar 2, Land Rover Defender and more
Thu, Apr 8 2021The month of March was unofficial minivan month here at Autoblog. We drove all of them but the Kia Carnival, but don’t worry, you wonÂ’t have to wait much longer to read that review. Among all the family-toting machines, we drove some more exciting vehicles including the Land Rover Defender and a pair of up-and-coming EVs. It was a month of excellent cars, meaning that this monthÂ’s litter of EditorsÂ’ Picks is stacked. In case you missed FebruaryÂ’s picks, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary or stand out in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in March that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Ford Bronco Sport 2021 Ford Bronco Sport First Edition View 32 Photos Quick take: Ford's baby Bronco is an authentic foil to the big Bronco 2-Door and 4-Door. It brings rugged styling, better-than-average off-road capability and thoughtful utility features to a generic segment of cars. Score: 8 What it competes with: Jeep Compass, Jeep Cherokee, Mazda CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek, Kia Seltos, Chevrolet Trailblazer Pros: Stellar design, excellent off-road, clever interior details throughout Cons: Pricier than most, average transmission, underwhelming interior quality and ambiance in lowest trims From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — “I genuinely enjoy driving this cute crossover. It feels like a mini truck on the road, and Ford admirably translated the design from its big Bronco over to this Escape-based crossover. News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "The Bronco Sport isn't perfect, the transmission could use some work, and it's a little bumpy, but it's a characterful little thing with loads of style, great visibility and space, and impressive capabilities on and off road in the powerful Badlands form." In-depth analysis: 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Review | Bronco for the masses  2021 Land Rover Defender 2021 Land Rover Defender 110 View 64 Photos Quick take: The Land Rover Defender provides everything you'd hope for in a modern Land Rover: superlative off-road capability, surprisingly plush on-road demeanor, abundant interior space and abundant character. The base four-cylinder is likely all you'll need and lower trim levels provide more than enough equipment.
