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.

Who picks car colors and materials? Designers like Hannah Custance
Tue, Dec 21 2021As automotive journalists, we're often asked "how did you get that job?" People usually didn't even know you could do such a thing. In this 7 Questions series, we're highlighting other jobs in the automotive industry that you might not have heard about before. What do they do, how'd they get to do it and other questions about their particular corner of the car world. Slowly but surely, the automotive landscape is becoming more colorful. Look beyond the unrelentingly conservative palette of white, black and gray most buyers opt for and you'll see the increased use of exterior trim types beyond the usual chrome. There's gloss black, of course, but also other metallic finishes like gold or copper. Those can be found inside, too, where there's also an increase in colorful leathers and trims, innovative fabrics, new wood types and finishes, and greater creativity in general. So where is this change coming from? The answer is designers like Hannah Custance, the color and materials design manager for Jaguar Land Rover. Her team's latest effort is also its magnum opus, the 2022 Range Rover. Although saddled with the expectations that comes with one of the automotive industry's classic nameplates, the all-new Range Rover is also a celebration of cutting edge manufacturing and fashion-forward materials selection. We sat down with Hannah at the L.A. Auto Show to find out more about color and materials designers, how she ended up in the industry, and advice she might have for young designers out there. It has been condensed for brevity. Autoblog: What does a color and materials design manager to do?Hannah Custance: I basically look after a team of designers who design finishes for every A surface on the car. So, that could be exterior finishes. It could be interior trim materials, soft materials, hard materials, chromes, metals, woods, ceramic – that's one of the new ones – anything you can kind of touch and see is color material design. Autoblog: How early in the design process does your team become involved.Hannah: Right at the very start. In fact, we look at materials that don't have a product assigned to them or a car assigned to them. So, it takes actually a very long time for us to get materials approved and fully validated. We have to find suppliers that are willing to work in automotive and our test standards are incredibly high, some of the highest in the industry.
Jaguar Land Rover recalls Takata airbag-equipped cars
Fri, Aug 5 2016In the latest chapter of what feels like the never-ending recall, Jaguar Land Rover announced that it's calling back 2009-2011 Jaguar XFs and 2007-2011 Land Rover Range Rovers for defective Takata airbags on the front passenger side. These Takata airbags have propellant that may have degraded and, if activated, could release metal shrapnel. The company is breaking up the recall into four phases, since currently there are not enough parts to do a full recall. Since the airbags can be more seriously affected by high heat and humidity, the first phase will cover vehicles that were sold and/or registered in regions with high temperatures and humidity. The regions included are as follows: Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. Other phases will begin as parts become available, and priority will be given to regions at greater risk of having defective equipment. Jaguar Land Rover encourages owners of affected vehicles to go to www.SaferCar.gov to check if their vehicle is included in the current recall. The first phase includes 54,000 of 108,000 affected vehicles. The company is also notifying owners of the issue, who will eventually get a second notification when parts are available so they can schedule a time to have the airbags replaced. Related Video:
2018 Range Rover Sport Coupe spied in Scotland
Wed, Jun 8 2016Sport utility vehicles are the rage. SUVs with coupe styling are pretty popular, too, as BMW and Mercedes have demonstrated. Now it's Land Rover's turn. Believed to be the upcoming Range Rover Sport Coupe, this ute was spied this week during top secret testing at a remote location in Scotland. The vehicle would slot between the Range Rover Sport and Evoque, giving Land Rover an answer to the Mercedes GLE and BMW X6. These shots show what appears to be a chopped roofline, giving the new model a sportier profile than the traditional upright silhouette of Rovers. We expect it will use a version of the aluminum Jaguar F-Pace platform and offer V6 and V8 engines. It could also offer a hybrid or full electric version. The new crossover might also be lower set in a bid to differentiate it from traditional Rovers and give it a performance vibe. The Range Rover Sport Coupe – or whatever it is ultimately called – would enter a strong segment that's found favor in the United States. Once derided for potentially offering less function than traditional utes, these lifestyle vehicles have developed a strong following for their style and capability. The X6 was so successful, BMW added the smaller X4, and this forced Mercedes to follow suit with the GLE and GLC coupe variants. In this context, it's about time for Land Rover to join the fray.
