2003 Range Rover Black On Tan W/ Iphone/ipod/bluetooth Hands Free on 2040-cars

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 Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility
Sun, 17 Aug 2014It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.
Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Since 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 creates new Special Operations division for halo vehicles, bespoke commissions
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Jaguar Land Rover has announced that a new division of the British manufacturer will be dedicated to "bespoke commissions," as well as heritage products and apparel. Oh, and the new Special Operations division will also be behind JLR's halo cars from now on.
It's that last one that is the most tantalizing, as the last real halo product to see production from Jaguar was the XJ220. The Range Rover, meanwhile, has always had its own kind of halo reputation, although the Land Rover brand itself has never really gotten into the game with a dedicated model.
According to JLR, the new halo models will focus on ultra-high performance and luxury with a limited run of vehicles. The bespoke models, meanwhile, will give the wealthiest customers full sway over how vehicles are outfitted, with unique paints, trims and other accessories. The new SpecOps division will be run by John Edwards.
