I am the second owner of a blue 4.0SE with 112K miles. Car has been well cared for. Interior is perfect except the dash around the defroster vents are warping a little. Side tabs on plastic vent have weakened over time and won't hold dash down. Pretty sure a new set of defrster vents (plastic vent pieces) will keep the dash flat. Over $7,000 invested to maintain over the last couple of years. New car/wife forces sale.
SOLD
Had the "sticky valve" problem at about 75K. Heads have been reconditioned with new seats and the intake valve stem holes have been reamed to avoid further "sticky valve"problems regularly plagueing Land Rover engines at 70/80K miles.
New/replaced the last 2 years:
cam
timing chain
engine oil seals
water pump
radiator
viscous clutch
ignition coil/wires/plugs
new valve block for air suspension
Bilsteins
battery
brake rotors/disks
tires
HVAC blend motors
trailer light kit
RR has brush bar, running boards, and traction control.
Never wrecked or smoked in. Maintained by Land Rover Master Tech who is a friend of mine. All receipts for parts. Except for the sticky valve problem in the past, car has always/and is running perfectly mechanically and electrically.
Located in Rockville, MD. Passed Maryland Safety Inspection in the last couple of weeks.
Will email CarFax upon request.

. Every time I start the vehicle with the A/C switched on, or turn on the A/C, I get the same flapping sound from the left (driver side) of the dashboard. It sounds like the flap on the left side blower motor is attempting to close, this goes on 6 or 7 times before it stops, then the dreadful book and exclamation mark appear on the HVAC climate control unit. I am not sure whether to take out the left blower motor which seems like a real big job or change the left blend motor that controls the left side, which relatively speaking reads to be less of a hassle!
