For sale is my 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 Hard Top #015. Always dealer serviced and maintained, this truck has had no expense spared. In preparation for sale my truck recently underwent a full inspection at a Land Rover dealership for anything that needed attention. Over $8,000 in service was just preformed last week to ensure that any known issues were fixed. Recently this included all new rotors, calipers, brake pads, bushings, exhaust, engine tune-up, wheel balancing, fluids changed and rust inhibitor undercoating. Service has always been done before the scheduled maintenance date and the vehicle has been worked on only be Land Rover certified technicians.
This is a summer vehicle and has always been stored indoors for winter. Unfortunately, this is also the reason for selling. I recently purchased a '67 Series IIA and will be driving that as my summer cruiser. This Defender is too nice to be out on the roads during a Michigan winter, especially with all the salt and potholes. I purchased this truck approximately two years ago from a Land Rover dealership in Dallas, TX. The truck was bone stock then and purchased with 64,000 miles on the clock. Over these two summers I've put almost 16,000 miles on her and upgraded many things including: Mantec bumper with 12k lb. winch (never used, still needs to be wired), Hella Rallye 3000 lights, skid plate, Boost alloy wheels powdercoated black, Safety Devices roof rack, Pioneer Nav system with reverse camera and custom MUD UK dash, and of course little bits like heated seats, upgraded sound system, USB charger, mud flaps, side steps rear dog cage, etc... Included in the sale are the 5 original NAS rims that came with the vehicle. They are in near perfect shape however I didn't prefer the look. Seats are in perfect shape with no rips or tears. There is a small dent on the passenger side wing from the ONE time I took it "off road". Jeesh! Also some very slight rust starting to appear under the air intake bonnet flap. Was planning on having both of these issues addressed as soon as warmer weather approached. I'm sure that I am forgetting a lot of things about the truck and will try and answer any questions possible. I tried to keep this truck as authentic "Land Rover-ish" looking as possible. The roof rack took over 6 months to find as did the Boost alloy wheels. The front winch bumper is Mantec, however it resembles the stock Defender bumper very well. New old stock Hella Rallye 3000 fog lights were found and installed with a genuine Defender operation switch. For summer camping I have a Tepui roof top tent that I've used in conduction with this truck. It's only been used a few times and includes the additional annex and awning. Makes for an amazing camping setup. I'll attach pictures of it installed on my GTI for reference. This tent and all of its components will be included in the sale for the "buy it now" price. I really really hate to see this truck go and have struggled with the thought of selling it for a while. It doesn't get the use that it should and as I have a new family member (the '67 IIA), I just don't have the time for two. I will be driving this truck for a little while before I say goodbye, so mileage might change slightly. REVISED: Speedo is in MPH and odo is in KM. Entries in title or service records (i.e. CARFAX or Land Rover service database) will reflect the odo number in miles when its actually kilometers, so you'll need to convert for true mileage. |

Audi and Jaguar Land Rover recalls address seatbelt issues
Tue, Aug 2 2022Audi and Jaguar Land Rover are each recalling several thousand vehicles for separate potential seatbelt issues. The recalls cover the 2022 Audi A3 and S3; 2022 Jaguar F-Type, F-Pace and XF; and the 2022-23 Land Rover Defender, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar. Examples of these vehicles may have shipped with seatbelt pretensioners that will not function properly in the event of an accident. Audi is recalling its sedans for tensioner devices that may not adequately restrain drivers or passengers during a crash. The issue was discovered during Korean market crash testing of the high-performance RS 3. "The seat belt tensioner in the affected vehicles serve the purpose of holding the passenger in his position in the seat," Audi said in its defect report to NHTSA. "In the event of a crash, the retention force of the seat belt may not reach the intended level. As a result, the position of the body can be further to the front of the seat, which leads to a negative influence on the whole restraint system, increasing the risk of injury." A different company, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), meanwhile, also has an issue with a batch of pretensioners installed in its cars and SUVs. Pretensioners are the devices that fire off to rapidly retract the seatbelt when a crash is detected. Most utilize an explosive charge and pressure tube JLR says that some pretensioner devices provided by one of its suppliers may not have properly-specified pressure tubes that may not channel the gasses to the retraction mechanism correctly. "A damaged front seat belt pretensioner tube may have been installed on the seat belt retractor," JLR's report said. "This may result in a reduced level or complete loss of pre-tensioning in the event of a crash and increased occupant injury." Owners of the models included in both recall campaigns should receive notices from the manufacturers in the coming months. Related video: Recalls Audi Jaguar Land Rover Ownership Safety SUV Sedan
Jaguar Land Rover to cut workforce by 2,000 in push toward electric future
Thu, Feb 18 2021Jaguar Land Rover said on Wednesday it would cut 2,000 jobs from its global salaried workforce, just days after announcing its luxury Jaguar brand will be entirely electric by 2025 and e-models of its entire lineup will be launched by 2030. "The full review of the Jaguar Land Rover organization is already under way," the company said in an emailed statement. "We anticipate a net reduction of around 2,000 people from our global salaried workforce in the next financial year," it said. However, it added that the organizational review did not impact hourly paid, manufacturing employees. JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors, said earlier that its Land Rover brand will launch six fully electric models over the next five years, with the first in 2024. Known for its iconic, high-performance E-Type model in the 1960s and 1970s, Jaguar faces the same challenges as many other carmakers as it transitions to electric vehicles while trying to retain the feeling and power of a luxury combustion engine model. Last month, Tata Motors said it was concerned by semiconductor shortages and Brexit-related supply disruptions as its luxury car sales recover, although the Indian automaker added these had not yet hit production. Tata Motors posted three straight quarters of losses as the COVID-19 crisis dented sales, exacerbating uncertainties over Britain's exit from the European Union, weak demand and rising costs, but had bounced back to clock a profit in its third quarter to the end of December. The 2,000 reduction in JLR's non-factory jobs was reported earlier on Wednesday by Sky News.
Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR
Fri, Jun 5 2015As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.
