1998 Land Rover Range Rover HSE 4.6

I purchased this car in 2011 and am the 4th owner.  I have meticulously repaired and maintained the car with the idea of keeping it forever.  After recently acquiring more toys, my garage space has become limited so unfortunately she needs to find a new home.  I will do my best to detail everything about the car.  I have spent lots of time and money to keep her in great shape so the sale is a bit bitter-sweet for me.  I have invested well over $8,000.00 in the last three years into the car.

Condition of car:

Engine runs strong, does not smoke or burn oil, she runs well for 179k miles.  Transmission run well and shifts through all gears. Both front differentials have been replaced with low mileage used units, filled with synthetic fluid and use a disco magnetic drain plug to accumulate debris and extend life.  Both front wheel bearing/hubs have been replaced (expensive parts).  All electronic system work and function properly while there are (NO CODES) or dash lights indicating any errors or repairs needed.  I have only 1 key but key fob works great.I also have the original Land rover leather book in the glove box with the manual. Paint is in decent to good shape and is original although she has a few dings and small scratches as most 16 year old cars would have.  I would give the paint  a 7 out of 10 as I am a stickler for detail.  I have made my best attempt to show the imperfections in my pictures in the spirit of full disclosure.  Interior is good, there are some scratches on the door panels from a previous owners dog but could be easily repaired by a interior specialist.  Leather seats are in good shape with no tears.  Rear seats are perfect while the fronts are decent but could use a redye to get back to original condition.  Brakes have been replaced and serviced all around (pads and rotors).  Headlights have been updated with XENON HID and I have the original lights if you want to revert back to OEM. Front side markers have been updated to euro white style and the front yellow markers are replaced with VALEO OEM Japanese style clear markers (Very hard to find).  By getting rid of the yellow in the front of the car it has more Euro look.  Every component has been replaced or rebuilt in the air suspension system and works like a charm. I am including a extra rebuilt EAS pump in the sale.  Many people tear out the beautiful air suspension systems in these cars because they have a hard time fixing the systems.  If you know P38's, part of the beauty of this car is its ride quality and self leveling air suspension.  When loading 6 or more people + luggage the ride is instantly adjusted so the car is riding at the perfect height.  Tires are new Firestone Destination ST with about 60-70% tread left. The tires are a great balance - they are very quite on the highway but handles well in rain and snow.  Its the perfect all weather tire for the car.  Rims are in great shape for the original Mondial's and have not been repainted or harshly curbed. There are a few scuffs on the edges of a few of the rims but overall they are in great shape. AC blows cold, compressor is new and system has been recently charged. Exhaust has been updated with a $650 stainless steel Magnaflow system.  Cats have been replaced with Magnaflow system as well so in essence new exhaust from the manifold back. Fuel injectors where upgraded with Bosch Gen3 for better gas mileage.
 
I have spent over $8,000.00 in the last three years bringing this car to great mechanical condition.  Here is a list of work that I have had done:
  • New Firestone FS Destination ST XL Tires (70% tread left)
  • Front differential replaced with a low mileage used unit (disco magnetic drain plug)
  • Rear differential replaced with a low mileage used unit (disco magnetic drain plug)

  • Replaced key fob buttons,batteries and back cover
  • Included rebuilt EAS pump with sale of car ($500 value)
  • Included (4) u-joints for prop shafts (current ones are fine I bought these to eventually put in)
There is a bit of a small dent on the rear hatch (as shown in pictures) and some other small dings around the car as shown in the pictures. There is a very light scratch on the front left side of the bonnet as shown in pictures.  I have also included a video link to see and hear the car running.


The only existing issue I know of is the drivers door lock tumbler works intermittently however its not an issue as the keyfob works flawlessly to enter/exit and lock the car.  I think its just a loose connector rod in the door.  Other than that the car is in great shape, everything works as it should and the car drives well  The rear hatch has been debadged I have the Original Land Rover badge and will include with the auction.

Priced to sell fast the auction starts at $ 4,200 with no reserve. Car has clear Florida Title and I will require a $250 down payment within 24 hours of auction end.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs or pickup although I will help coordinate from my end with any shipper. Car is sold with no warranty or guarantee.  Feel free to email me any questions and PLEASE serious bidders only.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

Jaguar Land Rover likely to build US plant... in three years

Mon, Mar 9 2015

Jaguar Land Rover may very well open a plant in the United States, but the latest word has it that it'll be another three years or so before the company even makes a decision on the matter. The prospect first came up on our radar back in October when we reported that JLR was considering building a plant in the South. Georgia governor Nathan Deal even flew to the UK to solicit JLR's business. Former parent-company chairman Ratan Tata subsequently confirmed the idea was under consideration last month. And now the British automaker's CEO has told Automotive News that JLR will need a US assembly plant to fuel its growth in the vital North American market, but that'll it'll take a while to get going. The reasons for the delay, according to chief executive Ralf Speth, are threefold. For one thing, the automaker has its hands full at the moment opening plants in other locations: last year it opened one in China and this year it opened one in Brazil. It also recently opened a new SVO facility, an electric-propulsion R&D center and a new engine plant all in the UK, and can only handle building so many new facilities at a time. JLR will also need US suppliers of aluminum components to step up their game, as the company relies heavily on aluminum construction for their vehicles. US automakers shifting to aluminum for models like the new Ford F-150 will encourage American suppliers to get into the game, but it may be a while before they're up to Jaguar Land Rover standards. Finally, JLR will need to increase its sales potential in the US in order to justify local production. Speth says the company would need one model of which it could sell 30,000 to 40,000 units in the US alone, and it sold less than 18,000 units of its best-selling the Range Rover Sport here last year. In fact the entire Jaguar brand sold less than 16,000 units throughout all of last year in America, with Land Rover selling far more at over 50,000 units to contribute to total sales of over 67,000 units.

Frankfurt Motor Show Notes: Why Jaguar decided to build an SUV

Wed, Sep 16 2015

It was inevitable. Jaguar had to make an SUV, and that notion became reality this week with the debut of the F-Pace, an all-wheel-drive five-seater that will launch in the United States next spring. Some purists may cringe. But in an era when Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and other traditional luxury brands are all building or (planning to build) SUVs, Jaguar had to evolve. While it seems like a leap for Jaguar to make an SUV, longtime design director Ian Callum said it's been in the works for years. "The first time I was asked the question was when I arrived 16 years ago," he said. So in 1999 (and probably well before that), Jaguar was already thinking SUV. What took so long? "It wasn't a priority," Callum said. Jaguar was concentrating on fixing its existing lineup, which was pockmarked with holes and poorly selling products, like the X-Type. Along the way, Jaguar and sister brand Land Rover were sold by Ford to Indian conglomerate Tata Motors. Flash forward several years, and Jaguar and Land Rover are both experiencing a resurgence in the United States and around the world. Jaguar's lineup is flush with the E-Type's modern successor, the F-Type, plus a new version of the XF. The XJ received a 2016 freshening, and the smaller XE sedan is on the way. Jaguar put its house in order as other factors conspired to make a crossover timely. Fuel prices stayed relatively low, and consumers in the US and China remained steadfast in their love for utility vehicles of all stripes. Making a Jaguar SUV became a priority. "The world was telling us in no uncertain terms this is what they wanted," Callum said. "Not to be in the sector would be a little naive for the sake of purity." Jaguar proved its intent two years ago when it revealed the C-X17 crossover concept at Frankfurt, and the final production model is close to the prototype's striking looks. "I thought we managed to maintain that spirit," Callum said. It's a true Jaguar, with cues from the F-Type, 1968 XJ, and other famous models. Who would have thought Jaguar would make an SUV? "I certainly didn't," Callum admitted. But the F-Pace is here. If Callum is okay with it, purists can be, too. Quick Hits Opel retrenches for 2016 and beyond Opel used the Frankfurt show to display its new generation of the Astra, a critical vehicle line for the German division of General Motors.

UK electric motor maker YASA expands production 50-fold for EVs

Thu, Feb 1 2018

LONDON — British electric motor manufacturer YASA said on Thursday it was increasing its production capacity from 2,000 to 100,000 units with a new factory to tap into growing demand from carmakers for greener technologies. Automakers are racing to build greener vehicles and improve charge times in a bid to meet rising customer demand and air quality targets but Britain lacks sufficient manufacturing capacity, an area the government is building up. Last year, the government picked a site in central England to house a new automotive battery development facility, which will develop the processes required to manufacture the latest battery advancements. On Thursday, YASA, based near the English city of Oxford, said it had raised another 15 million pounds ($21 million) as part of its expansion. "Our customers are looking to adopt innovative new technologies such as YASA's axial-flux electric motors and controllers in order to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding hybrid and pure electric automotive market," said Chief Executive Chris Harris. The firm exports 80 percent of production and has worked with companies including Britain's two biggest carmakers Jaguar Land Rover and Nissan as well as Aston Martin. JLR will decide this year whether to build electric cars in its home market, previously citing factors such as pilot testing and support from science and government as pre-requisites.
