Iphone/ipod/Bluetooth Black on Tan 2003 Range Rover HSE (BMW V8 Engine) Java Black with Parrot Blue Tooth, hands free calling/music playing/ through stereo, iPod/iPhone charger and player by cable (through center counsel) or Bluetooth, Harmon Kardon Logic 7 sounds great with Bluetooth stream or on call with dual microphones I had installed. Unlike other RR stereo upgrades, stereo still has original working NAV, radio, and other computer features like MPG/trip etc, multi disc CD player was disabled to make way for Bluetooth / iPod.

No rust and paint condition looks closer to a 50k car. This truck was garaged 95%+ of time, driven on highways longer distances, and rarely if ever had rear passengers (rear seats look new, front passenger seat looks like 25k miles). 

Tons of snappy power, no oil burn or leak, no fluid leaks. New looking fabric mats. Does NOT need tires, brakes, pads, exhaust, etc. Is due for an oil change, other than that you can drive it across country tomorrow. Has tow hitch doesn’t appear used. No dents, some scratches from garage, hard to see in pictures or even in person. One small (<5”) area of discoloration on paint again hard to see even 3 feet from car. 2 keys and manual.

I’m addressing all that is right and wrong with this car, if you were to see 2003-2005 RR with even half has many miles you would either have these same problems or need to fix far more. Ask any of the RR listed if these areas mentioned below work or condition. If you see and drive this one in person you will see why it is in better shape than 90% of similar year RRs. Dash is perfect/no cracks. I have optional removable cigar ashtray.

During the last 15k miles, in addition to regular maintenance, replaced many items that are often bad on older RR:

- Dashboard (unlike most older ones – NO pixels are out, important since RR use alert area for all sorts of notices
- Most oil related gaskets (timing chain cover, oil pan, valley pan, valve cover) replaced
- Most oil related hoses replaced
- Height control compressor replaced and reset
- Driver’s seat arm rest replaced (always look terrible/crushed on older RR which is why they are flipped up in pictures)

- Lower control arms replaced
- All tires replaced 12k miles ago / rebalanced / alignment done again 7k miles ago
- Interior air temperature sensor
- Replaced worn out looking “Range” letters from back (most 03s are mis colored by now)

In general everything works on this truck nothing currently needs fixing - no lights on dash, AC is very cold, drives / parks level height control works up, highway, regular, and creep mode. 

The only notable problems are (everything else works as it should): 

1) Driver seat is worn where you slide in / out as it is on all RR this era by now.

2) Rear view mirror somewhat loose on driver’s side (does not shake at high speed) and doesn’t always pop out from reverse to the proper angle but can be adjusted inside by pressing the button that pushes mirrors in and out

3) Steering wheel adjustment motor doesn’t work. It happens to be perfect for me (6’ tall) so I didn’t fix it as this is somewhat expensive to repair.

4) Interior fabric is off roof in parts but it’s even and barely noticeable and b/c of various parts on roof wont’ fall more. 

5) At low RPMs with foot lightly on gas you can sometimes hear a vibration sound. This has been going on for years and hasn’t gotten worse and my mechanic says many of them do this and it is nothing to be alarmed about or try to fix. In general the transmission shifts perfectly. The recall these RR years had related to driveshaft problems you may have read about was already fixed years ago by RR dealer.

6) Steering wheel is a little rough (not as bad as many listed here) and plastic coating is rubbed off in parts. In general plastic coating is a weak link on this era both on wheel and center counsel, this one is better than most, look close at other pics

7) Steering wheel heater works but seems to be mostly on lower left side of wheel where it gets quite hot to touch while most of wheel is still barely warm. In general if you want to make this car look new I’d replace steering wheel even though all button features on wheel work fine except level adjustment and heat issue mentioned

8) Both keys work but plastic buttons are worn out – a common problem.

Bottom line, this truck needs nothing now to use and drives / looks like a RR with 50K miles and can be made 100% for less than most older RR need just to get the dash light warnings off (or even visible with missing pixels on older dashes).

The difference between this and a $2k cheaper RR is not needing $8k+ in work in next few months to be usable and not just photograph ok. I know I spent over 10k in a year getting this one right.

I’m available to show you the car most days/weekends (except Thursday & Friday). You should compare in person this one to others from 2003-2005 and you will see the difference.

Jaguar to sell all-electric cars by 2030, and six electric Land Rovers coming in next five years

Mon, Feb 15 2021

Jaguar is making a big transition to become an electric-only car company. The switchover is meant to kickoff in 2025, and by 2030, Jaguar says 100% of its vehicle sales will be of electric models. Land Rover is taking a similar route, but to a lesser extent. The British off-roading brand says that it will introduce six pure electric variants in the next five years, with eyes on 60% of its sales being of electric models by 2030. Its first all-electric model will arrive in 2024, JLR said. An Automotive News report cites CEO Thierry Bollore, saying he expects "almost zero" production of cars with internal combustion engines by 2039, making that the theoretical end date of Land Rover vehicles with ICEs.  JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, said on Monday the Jaguar brand will lead the way with a fully-electric model range built on a brand-new electric platform. The Land Rover EVs are to be built on a separate electric vehicle architecture to provide for "two clear unique personalities." The Land Rover EVs are said to be finding homes on both the Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA) and Electric Modular Architecture (EMA). Both support combustion engine layouts and full EV layouts, but the latter is said to be more biased toward EVs and to exclusively support "advanced electrified ICE." Both brands will be taking advantage of technology from within the Tata Group (JLR's owners) to make this transition happen. There's limited information on the future of certain models for the time being, but Jaguar did say that its previously-planned XJ replacement will no longer have a place in the brand's lineup. That said, Jaguar says the nameplate might stick around, with the assumption it could be used on an all-new future EV. Additionally, Automotive News reports that Jaguar will transition away from SUV-style vehicles, citing Bollore — the theory being that Land Rover takes over and completely fills that space in the future. We'll be wondering about what will become of the F-Pace and E-Pace. Our biggest Jaguar question concerns the F-Type, though. Will we get a fully electric version of the sports car in the future? Jaguar didn't address it, but we certainly hope so. JLR said that as it electrifies its model range, it will keep all three of its British plants open. But Bollore, who took over as chief executive in September, said the carmaker's Castle Bromwich plant in central England would focus on "non-production" activities in the long term.

2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class vs big luxury off-roaders: How they compare on paper

Mon, May 7 2018

During our first drive of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the all-new SUV's product manager was asked to identify competitors that might have been benchmarked in its development. The look on his face was about the same as if someone had asked him to recite King Lear in Klingon. As far as Andreas Hoeppel was concerned, the G 550 and AMG G 63 doesn't actually have a rival, or at least something the engineers and designers thought to compare it against. The G-Class is a G-Class, who cares what the other guys are doing? Well, in case you care, we figured we'd plug the new G-Class' specs into the old Autoblog Comparo Generator 3000 (TM) to see how the G 550 and AMG G 63 compare to the Range Rover and its mightiest SVAutobiography Dynamic model, plus the Lexus LX 570 and Bentley Bentayga V8. Frankly, Heir Hoeppel was onto something as each of these is wildly different. But, they do share some common elements: giant size and weight, ultra-lux interiors, and far more off-roading capability than other luxury SUVs offer and any of its owners are likely to ever utilize. Sad. So enjoy this trip down specification lane, and if you're still left hungry, you can always check out our Range Rover comparison or create your very own comparo. Off-Road Clearances and Capability All the fancy off-roading software and special cameras in the world won't do you a lick of good if your SUV is too close to the ground or has low-hanging body work that'll get easily ripped off. As such, check out each of these uber-SUV's ground clearance, approach and departure angles, and wading/fording depths. In this case, the Range Rover has an advantage due to its air suspension that can raise itself into an Off-Roading height that's a whopping 2 inches higher than the new G-Wagen. Sadly for itself, Lexus only provides figures for its air suspension when in normal height. It could match or surpass the Range Rover for all we know (but doubt it). As Land Rover does provide figures for the Range Rover's approach and departure angles in normal and Off-Road height, you can get an idea of just how much clearance the new G-Wagen has without any fancy (and expensive to fix) raising and lowering air suspension hardware. In fact, its departure angle is better than even the Range Rover's Off-Road height. Bentley doesn't provide any such information despite touting the Bentayga's surprising off-roading talents.
