1985 Land Rover Defender 110 RHD Turbo Diesel 5-speed

I purchased this vehicle last year with the hopes of having a unique bit of British history driving around Southern California. I picked it up on Ohio and figured that any problems would show themselves on the ride back to California.

The former owner had told me that the truck had a slow leak in the rear main seal, but if I just kept the oil level up during the drive there wouldn't be a problem.

I made it a few hundred miles before the fuel filter gave up. Luckily, the NAPA in the small town had two.

It made it all the way back without many issues. Even through 116 degree heat in New Mexico and Arizona.

Upon arriving back in California, I took it to a Land Rover shop to have it thoroughly checked. The rear seal was fine, but the front seal on the transfer case was bad and the case was dry.

I had to have the transfer case removed and rebuilt. I also replaced the fuel pump as it was starting to weep.

I took it to the DMV here and was issued a license plate and registration. Two weeks later, I was informed that the vehicle was not able to be registered nor was a California title able to be issued.

I went upon my way knowing that it was just a matter of a little paperwork to get the truck legal.

Later I replaced the radiator and the Charge Air Cooler and changed all the hoses to Silicone. It started making a ticking noise so I took it back to the Rover shop and had a valve job done. Problem solved.

I month or so later, the Timing pump went out and I had to have it rebuilt.

This past month I finally got all the required paperwork ready for the DMV and upon showing all that I had acquired, they dropped the bomb.

California now has a law that basically stated that although the vehicle is exempt from EPA and DOT laws within the US, any imported vehicle newer than 1978 that is to registered in California must pass current emissions standards. That would mean on this diesel vehicle I would need to replace the engine with a properly equipped engine and transmission from a 2013 vehicle.

Their suggestion was to export the vehicle to another state.

So my dream vehicle that I have spent 6,000 more than the original purchase price is now up for sale.

Someone will get a solid vehicle that has little left to finish. I have new seat upholstery for the front row and extra replacement lights that will go with the vehicle.

Now, it is still a 25+ year old vehicle and has the normal issues of a vehicle of that vintage. The paint is in good condition (I believe that the previous owner had it painted).

It is a diesel that has been getting 23 miles to the gallon on average.

It is being sold "where is/as is" and the buyer will need to arrange transportation or just drive it home like I did. Its a great way to get to know the Rover.

BMW and Jaguar Land Rover to jointly develop electric car tech

Wed, Jun 5 2019

FRANKFURT – BMW and Jaguar Land Rover on Wednesday said they will jointly develop electric motors, transmissions and power electronics, unveiling yet another industry alliance designed to lower the costs of developing electric cars. Both carmakers are under pressure to roll out zero-emission vehicles to meet stringent anti-pollution rules, but have struggled to maintain profit margins faced with the rising costs of making electric, connected and autonomous cars. "Together, we have the opportunity to cater more effectively for customer needs by shortening development time and bringing vehicles and state-of-the-art technologies more rapidly to market," said BMW board member Klaus Froehlich. BMW and Jaguar Land Rover said they will save costs through shared development, production planning and joint purchasing of electric car components. Both companies will produce electric drivetrains in their own manufacturing facilities, BMW said. The BMW Jaguar Land Rover pact comes as rivals FiatChrysler and Renault explore a $35 billion tie-up of the Italian-American and French carmaking groups. Nick Rogers, Jaguar Land Rover's engineering director said, "We've proven we can build world beating electric cars but now we need to scale the technology to support the next generation of Jaguar and Land Rover products." BMW was in talks with rival Daimler about developing electric car components but was also in discussions with Jaguar Land Rover, a company it once owned, to explore an alliance on engines. BMW already has a deal to supply an 8 cylinder engine to Jaguar Land Rover. Carmakers are increasingly open to sharing electric car parts because the technology is expensive and because customers no longer buy a car based on what engine a vehicle has. "Carmakers are much less precious about sharing electric car technology because it is much harder to create product differentiation with electric car tech. They all accelerate fast, and everybody can do quality and ride and handling," according to Carl-Peter Forster a former chief executive of Tata Motors and a former BMW executive. Jaguar Land Rover is still run by former BMW managers, including Ralf Speth the company's chief executive who spent 20 years at BMW prior to joining JLR, and Wolfgang Ziebart, the engineer who oversaw Jaguar's I-Pace electric car program, who is a former head of research and development at BMW.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race

Thu, Mar 17 2016

We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:
