Totally original 1984 Land Rover 90, or defender as later known. Imported into the US around mid part of last year for personal use, but circumstances have changed and I need to sell. Vehicle shows 161K and I would think this be pretty accurate. Doesn't run rich, in fact runs lovely. Choke does need adjustment, probably needs a freshen up of fluids etc. as has been sitting a while now, but started lovely with a little ez-start and ran fine after a few minutes of playing with the accelerator pedal. Motor runs really, really sweet, no top end noises, has had points and condenser, rotor arm / cap recently, no apparent chug of smoke on start up, she runs just fine and whilst wont propel the car to any record breaking speeds, it will get to where you need to go, and probably to most places others wont....Will probably cruise at 65-70 on a highway. The 5 speed transmission works fine, the clutch operates well and the power steering seems to function fine too. Brakes seems to stop well. has discs on the front and drums on the rear. I haven't checked the diff lock, but their pretty much bullet proof, so I don't doubt it works fine. I can have it checked if needed.
Both foot wells have been repaired on both sides, the bulkhead looks very solid otherwise, the drivers side does have a little external corrosion showing to appear, I don't know if these are original or if they have been repaired. there is some hand painted touched up area's under the hood, I don't know if this was some previous rust repair, the rear door has some corrosion at the frame welds. Can be sorted pretty easily, as I would think the rear wiper could. The chassis is solid, has had some welding near a front outrigger, well done and very solid, all in all a solid frame. There is a little ally corrosion in a few of the panels, door bottoms etc, and the door frames need repair, kits available for a few bucks, but for the year, she's really clean. I'll list as many images as I can on ebay and will send any others I have by separate email to anyone interested. I have tried to shot all god and bad parts as I have seen them. I haven't checked all levels, the underside doesn't reveal any great patches of oil that look fresh, I will have the levels checked before it goes anywhere. Modifications I can see are front suspension striker plate, electric fan, carpet replaced at some stage. bits I can see that need to be done, door bottoms need repair, rear was wipe not working, radio antenna not connected, or radio not working. think that's it. plus the bits of rust that are inherent to a 30 years old British classic truck, nothing major, mostly just superficial bits and bobs that depending on the climate may never raise there head again. This is one of the early 90's, which had the galvanized door and tub caps, the panels and frame were the most solid of the models, made shortly after the Series 3 end of production. Whilst the motor isn't the most powerful, it does the job and I think may well have been rebuilt at some stage, that said she would really benefit from say a 200 tdi conversion, which was part of my original plan. The vehicle is currently located in Long Beach CA. is not titled as yet, I had simply parked her up when she came in and I had storage on the west coast, so that's where I trucked it to. the original port of entry was NY around June 2013. The vehicle cannot be registered in the state of CA as it wont met emissions. currently just parked there in private storage. You would check the need to check the requirements in your home state to register a foreign imported vehicle that has ben approved entry by the EPA as was manufactured over 25 years ago. I would encourage inspection of the car. Can be seen any day with prior notice in the Long Beach CA area. Once won, deposit of $250.00 to be sent by pay pal, balance to be settled and vehicle collected within 7 days. I can assist with a shipper. this would all need to arranged by buyer and at buyers expense. I do have a full roof cage, powder coated black, no rear ladder, also a set of 4 boost alloys with pretty good all weather tires, these can be negotiated after sale if or interest. Sold as seen. no warranty included or implied.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

BMW and Jaguar Land Rover to jointly develop electric car tech
Wed, Jun 5 2019FRANKFURT – 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.
Tata to get Jaguar and Land Rover tech, platforms too?
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Since buying Jaguar Land Rover, Indian automaker Tata has generally left its luxury arm's platforms and technology alone. However, those days might be gone. The two of them are gradually growing closer with coordinated development and rumors of shared platforms. And it looks like all of that work and money is finally going to pay off with an actual vehicle in the near future.
According to Australian website Drive, Tata wants to make its cars more attractive to buyers outside of India, and to do that the company knows it must improve quality. The Indian company is being careful, though, because it doesn't want to dilute the Jaguar or Land Rover brands with cheap models. "You're going to see in the future a lot of sharing of technologies and platforms over time, but you won't see a JLR with a Tata badge on it," said Darren Bowler, managing director of Tata's Australian distributor, to Drive.
According to Bowler, these future vehicles are already on the way. Tata and JLR have a global platform in the works for 2017 that both companies could use for cars or crossovers. He also hinted that Jaguar's new Ingenium engines could be shared among the brands in the future, too.
