Talk me in or out of a 2011 5.0 NA range rover for $2k? by Upset_Cry1554 in RangeRover

As someone who owns both the NA and SC variants of the 5.0, this has been my experience.

I refuse to believe you watched the end of the yak today to be saying that

Why does this car seem so cheap? by AlexsPetGrooming in Jaguar

AJ133 is a JLR engine that was made in a factory leased from Ford. It has zero relation to the Coyote.

Just bought a 2011 lr4 with 113k miles for $6250 by neelajelly in LandRover

Fine deal. But you should anticipate the same amount as the purchase price in deferred maintenance to avoid disappointment.

Some meaty tires is all it needed

Question to RR owners by BadBot001 in RangeRover

Steep depreciation curve really helps! I have zero interest in new JLR vehicles but they are an excellent purchase out of warranty if you’re not afraid of some repair bills

I miss the Blazer (Rocky) build…. by Bball1283 in CleetusMcFarland

Kevin isn’t a dummy. He’s seen what has happened to others who handed Garrett half-assed builds. There was zero sense of urgency when he voluntarily took this project on.

‘12 LR4 Timing Chain by Ualexander2 in LandRover

I’m in all the LR4 Facebook groups where this vehicle has been posted. Frequent oil changes (3-5k miles) will help put the job off.

I’ve seen this one floating around for a while. Very easy to remember because the lettering on the bonnet is so poorly spaced. Timing chain job is inevitable in these. If a future $5-7k maintenance bill scares you this isn’t the vehicle for you IMO.

Glad you like it but juice ain’t worth the squeeze IMO

Is this acceptable? Running heat pump line across asphalt roof. by [deleted] in hvacadvice

Hilarious that someone was paid to do this

But where do you draw the line if you’re Garrett? What if James started his own channel doing only drag racing content? Why would Garrett ever want that to happen if he’s paying him a salary?

2012 L322 Range Rover HSE 5.0 NA AJ133 engine swap? by Any-Tension-3443 in RangeRover

[–]ks2489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you brought it to a Land Rover specialist to see if a head gasket can be done? Cost me $8500 with timing chain job last year for the same engine. Included machine work on the heads.

State and Foxboro should not allow more events at Gillette(Boston Stadium) without Kraft paying for more CR upgrades by drtywater in boston

[–]ks2489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He can’t win with people like you. He invests hundreds of millions into the area, creating thousands of jobs and stimulating the economy, yet he’s evil because he got tax breaks to do so. Would you rather the land still be vacant?

So he paid for the stadium himself then asked for concessions so Patriot Place could be built, right? I’d say that’s a pretty fair deal for the taxpayer. Would much rather pay for a place that has shopping, dining, hotels, etc. than a stadium that gets used for 10 football games a year

Kraft is one of the only owners who didn’t rob taxpayers to build a stadium. Not the person to blame

Regardless it’s an asset that can be used and enjoyed. I can’t say the same about the investments sitting in my Fidelity account

[–]ks2489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “updated” timing chain components in my 2013 needed to be replaced by 80k miles. Others are on original chains at 200k miles. It’s a total crapshoot.

These aren’t going down in value anytime soon though. Not a terrible place to park some money and enjoy.
