I just picked up a 2010 LR4 HSE LUX Ipanema Sand at 113000 miles.

I have a couple other "British" cars. 2002 Mini Coopers S with 202000 miles on it. A 1995 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas with 102000 on it. And now the LR4!

My other cars are either Fords or BMW's. The LR4 was replacing an X5 that a negligent party destroyed by turning left immediately in front of it. It did very well. I suspect the LR4 would do even better...but probably would have really hurt the other driver.

So far I have been very impressed with Ford's influence on Jaguar Landrover. The XJ6 is a wonderfully put together car and was one of the key reasons I even looked at the LR4.

So far I have done a quick tape measure toe alignment...it had a little toe out and was wandering and following road features. Now it has a spec of toe in and life is good. Will get a real alignment when we replace 2 of the tires.

Had new control arms, bushings, ball joints and rear brakes when just before we got it.

Had a coolant smell but no loss of coolant so I did a crossover pipe today.

Of course I worry about the timing chains but for all I know they have been done. I don't hear timing chain type noise. But the motor has a distinctive din of mechanical clatter. no records came with it but every thing I touch has been serviced recently and looks good....so fingers crossed.
