Laughs And Lashings

Laughs And Lashings





New Shipment/ New Baby! The last week plus has been a bit crazy. After a couple of weeks' delay, my new container full of diesel engines and vintage Land Rovers finally arrived to much joy shared by the New Mosieurs. All of this has been stressful and not a 'normal' birth, but after the initial shock and excitement, we are settling in to the idea that she is premature but with an EXCELLENT prognosis, in fact, she is doing great. Needless to say, business and projects came to a screeching halt, and I am hoping to be back in the shop this week for a few hours a day to triage the problems/projects/work and come up with a plan. At least the container arrived, so I will likely be listing many things for sale soon. Range Rover thus far. This has been my first time up for air in many days, and I thought I would throw an announcement out there to those of you who may be following. Back in business soon! May will be great!





Land Rover is building a new Discovery. It is not a standard redesign since the company is going to use the new platform. What鈥檚 more, the company announced a longer life of the battery pack in the PHEV model. The 2020 Land Rover Discovery will be able to run 50 miles by using only electric power. We will see if the new platform will help Land Rover achieve this high expectation. The release date is set for this summer. JLR company has big plans with its entire fleet. By 2022 all models will be new. We already saw Range Rover Evoque, and the 2020 Land Rover Discovery is the next to enter the new generation. After that, we will see all other well-known Land Rover and Range Rover SUV. The new platform is moving to the Premium Transverse Architecture. Mid-size SUV will get more space inside the cockpit. Also, the PTA will boost handling and maneuvering.





The 4.6 liter engines fitted to the 2003-4 models are prone to failure. They are plagued with oil pump failures (leading to engine seizure) and cracks at the head studs in the block (leading to overheat failures.) Disco II engines are prone to failure of the rocker shafts, resulting in engine raps. The steel cup comes loose inside the aluminum rocker. Read more about the engine problems on my blog. Land Rover reduced the frame thickness in the Discovery II trucks, and they are now prone to early rust failure in snow belt areas. They are also prone to develop cracks by the right side catalyst. Radiators are prone to develop leaks, more so than previous Land Rover models. The idler pulleys on the belt drive become noisy and in extreme cases come apart. The ACE system, while substantially improving high speed handling, offers the possibility of service nightmares on high mile units.

I debated turning the car around at the next exit, or just cruising casually across the grassy median to merge with the traffic going back in the opposite direction, but then thought better of it. There was business to conduct soon, and we would be going back by that gas station in just a couple of hours. But could I wait that long? Exercising uncharacteristic self-control, I kept driving forward, towards our goal for a change. I was feeling quite satisfied with myself and skipped the CD player back to the start of the current song again, one which was growing on me quite a bit. She made a compelling counter, reminding ME that we were in HER car. I became confused myself at this point, and found it difficult to establish which rules would supersede which here. I briefly considered adding my overwhelming seniority to the matter as well as the proximity of my recently passed birthday in a bid to appeal to her human side, or or her sense of justice, but thought better of it.





Replaced and did valve job at same time, running great. Where do you go to get a Range Rover Flashed? I want to buy the correct front left air spring for my 2004 range rover. Does it have ADS? Does anyone know the average mileage for a Range Rover? Does anyone know what the average life expectancy is for a Range Rover? Such as what is the average mileage for this SUV? My hse range rover 2005 is leaking a small amount of cooliant could this just be a hose, and the, wiper blade in the rear is not squirting but the pump is heard.

Land Rover鈥檚 latest car, the all-new Freelander 2, will be the first-ever automotive application of Dolby Pro Logic II 7.1 surround sound technology, developed specifically for the unique listening environment of the car. The technology, more familiarly seen in high-end home cinema and entertainment systems, immerses occupants in an all-enveloping sound experience. In another debut, it is the first Land Rover Sound System by car audiophiles Alpine, renowned for faithful music reproduction, just as the artist intended. Alpine has created a new sonorous 440 watt amplifier to effortlessly power the system through any musical passage. Using the very latest surround sound technology, the system employs a multichannel amplifier in 7.1 mode. Alpine鈥檚 OEM director Dave Sheen. The comprehensive 14 speaker system has been specifically created for the latest Land Rover. The three way front speaker layout of mid, bass and tweeter together with the centre fill speaker provide perfect sound imaging replicates the sound stage right in front of the occupants, precisely where it should be.





You would think they would be smart enough to send you an email, text or letter and tell you that they couldn't support you. They knew about their lack of resources weeks ago. This mess did not just happen. They knew it was a mess and assigned me an appointment date anyway. So in the end I was left driving a damaged new Land Rover with the check engine light on. By far the worst customer service in Austin Texas if not the entire state of Texas. I think when I pay my car off, I'll give the Mercedes or BMW dealership a call. After a very positive experience I had in buying a used car from JLR recently, the low rating on Yelp for JLR (Jaguar Land Rover) of Austin is hard to digest. And it compelled me to take the time to share my experience. I worked with salesman Robert Walls and it was amazing how he handled the entire transaction.
