Welcome to the sale of my much loved 1989 Land Rover Defender 110 County Station Wagon 12 Seater D Turbo. Vin Number SALLDHMB7FA397393 Engine Number 19J29130C This Landy was first registered in August 1989, it has had 7 owners in that time and has covered a little over 132000 miles (averages to 5300 miles per year) I can Guarantee this mileage to be correct as i have every MOT (UK yearly safety check certificate) from its first in 1992 and i will put a full 12 month MOT on the truck upon sale. The truck sits on its original chassis, and has all the original mechanical parts (engine, gearbox, axles etc) it was built with, making it a perfect import vehicle for the US or Canada once it comes of age next august. In the past 6 months the truck has had loads of money spent, it has had new cambelt, water-pump and radiator, rear half of exhaust, 5 new wheels and tyres, new snorkel, new headlights, new front bumper, front td5 grill set, A bar, side steps, full length roof rack, rear ladder, rear bumper corners, heavy duty rear wheel carrier, all new heavy duty suspension shocks and springs, new steering guard and front diff guard, chequer plate wing tops, air horns, command console, steering wheel, privacy glass in rear, full length canopy / awning, it also comes with power steering as standard, a heater that works, rear heated window, sunroof, towbar, 12 seats with seatbelts and the original Land Rover high-lift jack kit. Being as original as this makes it a very rare thing to find and a very sound investment, it is without a doubt the best defender i have ever owned it drives as well as any 5 year old defender you put it against and looks better than most and will prove a lot more reliable if looked after correctly. As you will know defenders are not built for comfort but the County was the top of the hill in defender spec so its a really usable every day truck its starts first time every time, its puffs a little grey smoke first thing as they all do, but this clears in seconds and does not return all day, its reasonable on fuel i average around 23 miles per gallon of diesel (UK Gallon = 1.2 US). As i mentioned the engine and gearbox are the original 1989 units so will not win any speed races but this is the turbo diesel model so keeps up with traffic easily and will sit at 60 / 70 all day long if that is what you want it do do, the gearchange is good and smooth although the pedal is a little heavy, the servo assisted brakes are good and pull up well for a 3 ton 25 year old truck and it performs all this stuff in a straight line. Off the beaten track is where these really come into their own and everything on this truck it ready for a outback camping trip, it will pretty much drive anywhere you and 11 passenger point it, all the 4x4 system hi/low transfer box works perfectly as you would expect As you can see the car is stunning, it has just had a full respray in frozen white which makes it look very modern (it was originally faded blue which looked very tired) and gets it noticed where ever it goes and with the roof rack it stands 8 feet tall so you don't really lose it in car parks. the bonnet is the original and has dents all over it, i never did this because it reminds me of the character of the truck and it wears them well. The interior again is original and in amazing condition considering the age or the truck, there is a little wear hole in the drivers seat and the middle rear seat sags on the edge but otherwise all the seat faces could be new, the rears of the middle seats have some tears from loading and the roof lining is nice and clean but sags a little but his wouldn't be a big job for a re-trimmer if you want the truck mint. The carpets in the front are worn but the rest of the carpets are in good order. The chassis of the truck again is in very good condition and looks to have been regularly wax-oiled to prevent any corrosion which i will have done again prior to shipping. The truck for all its brilliance has a few niggling things, these are, the new steering wheel does not cancel the indicators so something worth remembering, there is no radio although the CD player works fine and has an av jack but the unit needs replacing, its old a sounds rubbish. I think that's about all i can say about this Lovely Landy. All Questions Viewings Trials and Checks are welcome and indeed encouraged, i will answer asap. This Land Rover is currently in daily use and for sale in the UK, i will continue to drive it until either its sold or i replace it with my next toy. Upon sale i can either deliver the car to your agent in the UK or i can store the truck in a secure container until it becomes eligible for import in august 2014 at which time i will deliver it to the port and safely see it aboard a container ship bound for you nearest east coast port where you will need to meet it with all the relevant registration documentation (which i have) a CBP form, a HS-7 declaration and an EPA form 3520-1. the reason for the time delay is that once 25 years old this truck becomes exempt from the EPA and DOT regulations on imported vehicles so just the 2.5% import duty and the registration and your driving your new defender in the first week of September. The Buy It Now prices includes insurance, storage and shipping to the east coast of the US. Any offers accepted will not include this and you as the buyer will be responsible for arranging collection and shipping unless otherwise agreed before hand. Payment is to be made via bank transfer, i will require at least 50% of the payment within 7 days of purchase and the other 50% Prior to dispatch or upon collection Sorry the vehicle can only be released upon receipt of cleared funds. Hopefully i have answered most questions within this listing but please feel free to get in touch. |

Pivi Pro Jaguar Land Rover Infotainment Review | A massive improvement
Fri, Aug 6 2021Infotainment systems in Jaguar Land Rover products have irked us for a long while. They’re generally a good step — or several — behind other luxury automakers' infotainment systems in terms of features and looks. But the big problem has always been their functionality. Even right out of the gate, they exhibited an undue amount of lag and general bugginess. Pivi Pro is supposed to change all of that. ItÂ’s JLRÂ’s completely new-from-the-ground-up infotainment system that is quickly spreading across the companyÂ’s range of products. It features a new screen size and layout. Plus, the software itÂ’s running is vastly different from what we saw previously. Our Byron Hurd got a first taste of it with a number of JLR products in a short period of time and found it to be a big improvement. Now, weÂ’ve had a new Land Rover Discovery in the garage for a longer period to fully suss out the system. Will it hold up? Watch the video above for a quick tour, and keep reading for some more detailed thoughts. Before diving in too deep, you should know off the top that Pivi Pro is a massive improvement over JLR infotainment systems of old. There are still some issues, but the new systemÂ’s performance is exponentially better than what itÂ’s replacing. This is partly thanks to it now running off its own backup battery. This allows the whole system to load immediately upon startup, ensuring that you arenÂ’t sitting and waiting for items to populate after you press the start button. The new 11.4-inch screen this software plays on is splendid to both look at and touch. ItÂ’s a super-high-resolution panel, and it takes to our inputs quickly and without protest. The new UI layout makes things easier and prettier, too. All of your important items are tucked into a panel on the left, making them super easy to find and select. Plus, a sticky “home” button means you can always find your way out of menus when youÂ’re done diving around. We dig the three-panel home screen and its minimalist style, but for those who might favor maximum functionality over a pretty home screen, you can replace this with rows of app icons. For those wanting to use their phones, there is indeed an in-car WiFi data plan available to buy. Plus, JLR newly allows you to connect two devices via Bluetooth instead of just one. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are nicely integrated with this new system.
Freelander name making jump from old Land Rover model to new EV brand
Fri, Jun 21 2024The Jaguar Land Rover House of Brands is about to grow by one. JLR signed a Letter of Intent to license a new brand called Freelander to its Chinese joint-venture partner of 12 years, Chery. For those who missed it, Land Rover sold a compact four-wheel-drive model called the Freelander or LR2, depending on market and generation, from 1997 to 2015. The Freelander didn't get the best press, but that didn't stop it from being popular because, before the Evoque, it was the least expensive way to get into something bearing the green oval. The moniker's rebirth will also apply to "mainstream" products, this time pure-electric vehicles outside of JLR's or Chery's current lineups. What's more, the Freelander range won't be limited to China, although JLR wouldn't say how long it would be before international markets could expect Freelander arrival. They new cars will be designed by teams from both automakers and sit on Chery's E0X battery-electric architecture. Car News China reports that the E0X can support an 800-volt architecture, Level 3 autonomous driving, and air suspension setups. The platform also plays nice with range-extended EVs, a powertrain type enjoying the same upswing in popularity over there as in other markets. Autocar writes that extended-range EV sales from January 2023 to September 2023 rose 157% over the same span in 2022. Chery's Luxeed R7, above, sits on E0X bones. The Luxeed R7 EV comes in single- and dual-motor variants from 288 horsepower to 489 hp, and offers a maximum range of 531 miles on the Chinese cycle. Previous to this new announcement, Chery said it would also share its M3X platform with the Chery Jaguar Land Rover collaboration, the vehicle structure said to have been developed with Magna International. The M3X is suited to internal combustion and PHEV powertrains. JLR's press release specifies that for now, Freelander will be "an advanced portfolio of electric vehicles," so it's possible future Freelanders will expand powertrain options once the electric lineup gains momentum, or the M3X might be applied to a different set of products.
Tesla layoffs, new safety mandates, and a bumper crop of V12s! | Autoblog Podcast #830
Fri, May 3 2024In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a gasoline-powered installment. They lead off by diving into the Tesla layoff news from this week before leaving electrification behind for a bit to talk about not one, but two production V12 unveilings. This isn't a drill, folks; Aston Martin and Ferrari are both committed. After that, they touch on the U.S. government announcement that it would mandate automatic emergency braking systems starting in 2029. They finish up the news segment with a chat about Fisker. Poor, poor Fisker. From there, it's on to the road tests. The Autoblog team has been testing out some EVs and both Byron and Greg had some thoughts to share, plus we get a final update from Byron on the long-term Subaru WRX and some notes from both drivers about the updated Range Rover Evoque. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.
