The ALPINA Land Rover Defender 110 1988 2,5 Turbo Diesel engine 68.000 Miles · Lots of new parts Introduction: The Alpina The Vehicle As you will see
in the list below, lots of work has been done and even more money has been
spend to get this Land Rover in a very good state and working order. It’s
originally from Cambridge, UK, where it has been used by a family as their
holiday vehicle. It was dry stored and therefore in a really good condition
when we bought her as our new project. First we started
by stripping her down to bare aluminum. Then it got professionally sprayed in
Alpine White, like the Defender NAS. When finished, all the parts where put
back in place. As we tried to keep it as original as possible, most parts are
the original parts but some of them where necessary to replace for new ones.
When the body work was finished, our Land Rover mechanic started working on
her. Everything got thoroughly checked, repaired or replaced to make sure the
Alpina is completely ready for her new life. Underneath you will find a short
list/summary. LIST OF WORK DONE/ NEW PARTS
The Engine The 2.5 liter 4
cylinder turbo diesel engine, is one of the best and most reliable engines land
rover ever build. They’re made to last forever, are easy to maintain and never
let you down. The turbo gives the extra torque you need. A lot of work has been
done to make it ready for the next 100k miles. So no maintenance to be expected
in the near future. Please promise us to service Aplina on a regular basis, as
she will last a lot longer on fresh oil and regular TLC (tender, love and
care). The Transmission She has a 5
speed manual transmission. Both gearbox and transfer box work excellent.
No weird noises, rattles or what so ever. Selecting gears goes smooth as it
should. The Defender is permanently in 4 wheel drive. High/low gear and
differential lock are present and work perfectly. The gear knob is below and
next to the gearbox stick. The Body The aluminum
body and paintwork are in a very good condition. The recent paintjob makes the
vehicle look like new. Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t new,
some scratches and age marks. Also on some spots the combination of steel on
the inside and thin aluminum on the outside causes some small marks. But for a
26 year old vehicle, it is really beautiful! The bulkhead and foot wells are
clean and rust free. The doors are totally straight and have rust free bottoms,
which is pretty unique. The windows work as they should, the same goes for all
the locks. Please take care of the door hinges, they tend to rust if not
regularly looked after. The Defender has
a tow bar with electrics. Also an air intake snorkel is mounted if you need to
go through deep water. The Chassis The complete
chassis is in perfect condition. It is hard and strong as to expect from this
Defender. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance that
prevents rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years by the
previous owner. Worth mentioning is that the steering guard bar has a small
dent, which hasn't effect on the function. The chassis
number or VIN is clearly visible. US vin decoders won't recognize this vin
because it's a European vin. The VIN is: SALLDHMB7EA329668
The Interior The inside of
the vehicle is clean, tidy and original. The 5 seats and 2 benches are a in
very good and original condition. The radio is old and is ready to be thrown
out of the window. It’s your decision to plug in a new radio to your needs. The
whole infrastructure is there. The tires The Defender has
got 4 good all terrain tires and a brand new spare. It’s to be advised that if
you are going to use the truck only on normal roads, to put normal road tires
on it. If going to be used primarily on dirt roads or off road, put off-roaders
under it. Service It has just got
a full service. All the oils and lubricants in the axles, gearbox, transfer box
and so one have been replaced. The Defender’s power steering system is in
excellent condition. Customs, title and delivery The vehicle passed all DOT, EPA
and DMV test/inspections and is 100% USA legal. Furthermore, in contrast to a
lot of Defenders for sale on eBay, this Defender is already in the USA, Maryland, and has cleared customs, meets all EPA & DOT regulations and is ready to be titled. All necessary
paperwork will be included. Where needed, we can assist
with the titling as we have got the experience. If preferred, for transportation you can make use of our reliable trucker. Contact me for more details and quotes. Deposit

Jaguar Land Rover says key models in short supply, some have six-month wait lists
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Care for a bit more proof that the Jaguar Land Rover portfolio of vehicles is the best it's ever been? Well, the Indian-owned pair of brands saw a record year in 2013, while 2014 has seen a 14-percent increase in sales. The crazy thing is, though, is that figure could be even higher, provided the company had the production capacity.
JLR is running a six-month waiting list on two of its most popular models, the Range Rover Sport (above) and Range Rover. According to Mark White, the company's chief technologist for body engineering, the blame can be placed on the paint shop at the company's Solihull factory, in the UK.
"We will probably max out the paint shop before we max out the body shop. Putting the second body shop in has given us the flexibility to ebb and flow the different models that go through there and meet the capacity demands we've got," White told Automotive News. "However, you always hit a bottleneck somewhere. And the paint shop is probably going to be the next biggest obstacle."

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.
