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.

Jaguar Land Rover reveals Bond cars [w/video]

Tue, Sep 15 2015

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Frankfurt Motor Show coverage to bring you something far cooler. Jaguar Land Rover has officially introduced the cars it's lending to the latest James Bond film, Spectre. There's not much that wasn't previously covered as part JLR's February 2015 release, although there are some comments from the stars, as well as a pair of behind-the-scenes videos. At the very forefront of the British brand's charge is the Jaguar C-X75, the stillborn concept that set hearts aflutter with its handsome looks and its innovative turbine-powered drivetrain. According to Jaguar Land Rover, the orange supercar will be piloted by baddie Dave Bautista as part of an enormous chase scene throughout Rome. Meanwhile, Eve Moneypenny, played by Naomie Harris in her second Bond flick, will pilot the blacked-out Defender. For those that remember Skyfall, Miss Moneypenny spent most of the film's pre-title sequence tearing through Istanbul, Turkey behind the wheel of a silver Defender. Joining the Defender is the most powerful vehicle Land Rover has ever produced. The new Range Rover Sport SVR will show up wearing a menacing black paint job and featuring some extra lighting on both its roof and in its bumper. It's not clear who will be driving the 550-horsepower SVR, but in the photos released by JLR, it's shown trading places with a pair of Defenders as they rampage through the Austrian snow. Check out the photos of the vehicles below. You'll find both studio stuff and some set photos. There's also a full press release from JLR, as well as a pair of behind-the-scenes videos.

Jaguar XE to be built in China

Mon, Dec 29 2014

After a six-year absence, the Jaguar XE will return that most English of automotive companies to the compact premium segment, the brand's first whole-hearted launch into that market. For certain Western markets it begins production at the Land Rover plant in Solihull early next year, but it will also continue the brand's venture in to China having been chosen as the first Jaguar to be built there, according to a report in Automotive News. Jaguar-Land Rover owns a plant in Changshu, a joint venture with Chery Automobile, that started building the Range Rover Evoque this year and will add the Land Rover Discovery Sport. Previously, The Leaping Cat was selling cars built from kits at its factory in Pune, India. The brand figures to sell 20,000 cars in China next year, which would be less than a fifth of in-country sales for the JLR group, but the XE is the "spearhead vehicle" that "could make significant inroads" there, according to Jaguar. For comparison, Audi moved 120,450 A4s alone and BMW sold more than 100,000 3 Series models in China in 2013. Globally, Jaguar is predicted to sell 80,000 units this year. By 2017, after the release of the XE, new XF and coming crossover, plus factory expansions in China, Brazil and Saudi Arabia, it hopes to get that number up to 200,000 units; Forbes has a piece detailing why they think it's possible. The JLR group is shooting for a target of 850,000 units worldwide by 2020.
