1995 Land Rover Range Rover County Classic Sport Utility 4-door 3.9l on 2040-cars
Collierville, Tennessee, United States
|
I drove this car as my daily driver back and forth to work. It has always been reliable. The car handles well, has a great Pioneer stereo, and has been reliable, safe transportation. I drove the car from Memphis to Nashville and back a few of weeks ago, and I still love driving it.
However, the car doesn't really fit my needs anymore in that I really need a car that has more seating capacity (I have 4 kids). 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.
The trouble-prone air suspension system has removed and replaced with a standard coil-in-spring system. I also had a new water pump and thermostat, new alternator, Mallory ignition system, replaced the hoses from the power steering pump. The tires are in good shape. The car starts every morning, the transmission shifts smoothly, and the transfer case works fine as well. The cruise control does not engage.The air conditioner does not work (needs a new compressor).The power windows work, as well as the sunroof.The heater works. All of the lights work except one right side driving light. This car has never been owned by a smoker.
There are no rust issues. There is paint oxidation on the hood and roof, but no rust.
The headliner fabric is tight. There are, however some cracked interior plastic trim pieces, but over all nice. The glass sunroof is flawless and does not leak.
The seat warmers also don't work. I'm not sure if they were inoperative when I received the car, but they don't get hot. But since the car has been garaged every day, and it doesn't get that cold here in Memphis, it hasn't been a problem.
The driver seat power works in every direction except recline. It worked when I got it, but at some point stopped. The passenger seat reclines/adjusts and is very comfortable.
The 6-CD cassette player that came originally is no longer there. I replaced the factory cassette stereo with an after market Pioneer that has aux. and USB port and will charge your phone. I also replaced the front door speakers and the rear speakers with Pioneer, as well.
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 and dash cluster functions as it should. The fuel gauge works, too.
There are no oils leaks. I have noticed a little fluid near the power steering pump, but nothing drastic and the reservoir is not low. 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. I have heard that 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 Memphis to have the troubleshooting done and, potentially, new sensors installed.
The car comes with the original owner's manual along with manuals for the stereo.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."
Is Jaguar's 3 Series-fighter the brand's last chance?
Wed, 16 Oct 2013The upcoming line of compact 3 Series-fighters from Jaguar, often referred to as the Jaguar XS, could consist of a sedan, wagon and possibly a coupe and GT model (think BMW 5 Series GT). The car's all-aluminum architecture also will provide the basis for two new sports utility vehicles. Just how important is the much-touted "baby Jag" project to parent company Jaguar Land Rover? A JLR executive reportedly says the brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS, codenamed X760, Autocar reports.
The brand's survival is directly linked to the success of the XS.
"If the X760 fails, it will probably be the end for the [Jaguar] brand," the executive says. But Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's global brand director, claims Jaguar will "build the most advanced, most efficient, most refined car in that [compact luxury sedan] segment. Not almost as good as, but better than the best in the world."
