1995 Land Rover Range Rover County Classic Sport Utility 4-door 3.9l on 2040-cars
Corvallis, Oregon, United States
|
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.

Win an electric car and celebrate Earth Day
Thu, Apr 22 2021Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability is subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Enter to win this giveaway or any other Omaze experience now through April 23, 2021 and receive 500 extra entries into any campaign plus a chance to win $10K with code GOGREEN500. Simply add the discount at checkout. Whether you like it or not, there will come a day when most, if not all of us, will be driving electric cars. For some of us that day can't come soon enough, and in honor of Earth Day we've put together a list of our favorite car giveaways so you can save some green while being green. Win a 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S and $20,000 - Enter Here If there’s one thing Porsche is good at, itÂ’s making fast, beautiful cars, and the Taycan Turbo S is no exception. Making 750 horsepower, 774 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 161 miles per hour, punching the accelerator will surely throw you back in your seat. In fact, its 0-60 time of 2.6 seconds matches that of the quickest Porsche 911 ever made, the Turbo S. The difference between this Taycan Turbo S and that 911 Turbo S, of course, is that the only reason youÂ’ll ever need to stop off at a gas station is to fill up on snacks. That and the fact the Taycan doesn't actually have a turbo anywhere in the car. We wouldnÂ’t be reaching for a bag of FlaminÂ’ Hot Cheetos, though, because this incredibly comfortable leather interior is immaculate, and weÂ’d hope to keep it that way. Enter here for a chance to win this prize worth $220,000. Win a Himalaya Land Rover Defender 110 EV and $20,000 - Enter Here The Land Rover Defender is an icon: an intense, luxurious off-roader that turns heads and can crawl up nearly anything. The problem? For the past 20+ years it hasn't been available in the United States and it's never been what youÂ’d call environmentally friendly. But this Defender is different. ItÂ’s vintage, restored by Himalaya and itÂ’s all-electric. At 275 horsepower, you wonÂ’t be thrown back in your seat, but the 406 lb-ft of torque helps make this an incredibly capable rock crawler.
Strong JLR sales in China boost Tata Motors' quarterly profit
Fri, Jan 29 2021BENGALURU, India — Tata Motors Ltd on Friday posted a 67.2% surge in quarterly profit. Sales at its luxury car unit, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), improved in key market China as the country led a recovery in the global automobile industry from the pandemic. The Indian carmaker had logged losses for three straight quarters as the COVID-19 pandemic dented business in several of its key markets even as it was already dealing with uncertainties around Brexit, weak demand and rising costs. The Brexit trade deal agreed upon in December has avoided the risk of tariffs on automotive parts and finished vehicles, Tata Motors said, adding that JLR remains encouraged by the Brexit trade deal. JLR sales in China jumped 20.2% on-quarter and were 19.1% higher from the year-ago period. Retail sales at the unit, which accounts for most of the company's revenue, were up 13.1% from a quarter ago, but still 9% lower than pre-pandemic levels. The company said it had saved 400 million pounds ($548.96 million) during the December quarter at JLR under Project Charge, taking the total savings to 2.2 billion pounds so far. Tata Motors has set a full-year target of saving 2.5 billion pounds. Consolidated net profit came in at 29.06 billion rupees ($398.52 million) for the third quarter, compared with a profit of 17.38 billion rupees a year earlier. It had reported a loss of 3.14 billion rupees in the previous quarter. The festive season in mid-November, during which Indians typically make big-ticket purchases, also helped overall sales. "Due to a strong festive season and a clear preference for personal mobility, the PV business posted its highest sales in last 33 quarters," Tata Motors Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Guenter Butschek said. Total revenue from operations rose 5.5% to 756.54 billion rupees.
Your guide to vehicle subscription services
Mon, Oct 1 2018They 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.
