I am selling my rare 1999 Range Rover Callaway. It has managed to hold up well over the years. Its stately appearance inside out still gets compliments. These special rovers were shipped to Callaway performance in Connecticut for performance work boosting the power and drivetrain. For specifics you can search for Callaway Range Rover, the Callaway website will pop up with all the specs. It runs and drives well but there are a few common rover problems, including a slipped liner in the engine. For those unfamiliar with this condition, the cylinder sleeve will start to tap when the engine reaches operating temperature. It is more of a nuisance due to the tap. Rover drivers as well as myself have driven their rovers with slipped liners thousands of miles without any failure. Simple solution is to pin the liners. Second issue is that the viscous coupling in the transfer case has seized up, so it does not slip as it normally should. A quick fix that was performed so the truck is still 100% drivable is to remove the front propeller shaft, which will come with the purchase of this truck. My local salvage yard will sell these complete transfer cases for 200, which will come with a functioning viscous coupling, which is easily swapped into the Callaway transfer case without removing it from the truck. Send another 200 and i'll pick one up from the salvage yard if you want. The climate control works, but the display dosnt really work as you can see in the picture, the vents do blow cold air with AC but i feel it should be colder and blow harder. The AC compressor cycles like it needs a charge.

The severity of the above problems are purely subjective since the truck as it sits runs and drives 100%. I've taken it for 15+ hour trips in this condition without any problems, sometimes the slipped liner settles and will be quiet for a while, but most of the time you can hear it. The truck looks pretty good, some hazing on the hood but can be buffed out, i did it once when almost a year ago and it looked great. The hood has some minor dents from someone sitting on it i think. Lastly, the previous owner had a high end Alpine Navigation entertainment system installed as well as had the air suspension converted to coil springs.

Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.

Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
