1997 Land Rover Defender This is one of the cleanest and best Defenders around, when I bought it, the previous owner had installed a new 4.6 liter motor from Land Rover and it is much faster than stock 4.0's. I have driven others and it really makes a difference, with the new 4.6 liter motor it really moves, not sluggish like most D90's. The 4.6 ltr is a direct replacement - It was a brand new motor ordered from Land Rover - Cost was about 10k for the new motor. The top half of the motor still has appearance of a 4.0 but the bottom half of motor is brand new - This is a fairly common upgrade. I have owned it for the last 4 years and this car has been very well cared for and any issues fixed immediately by the best Land Rover shops around. There is no rust at all on this defender its been owned by guys that have lots of money and has been well taken care of- Car was owned by Robert Erwin - He is the guy that created Medal of Honor and Rock Band Video Games. The frame and body is absolutley flawless, I have been told by several Defender people that rust is an issue with these cars, but the ones kept in dry climates are fine, which must explain the lack of any rust on this one. This Rover is a blast to drive and really turns a lot of heads. I have a lot of vintage cars, but I get more thumbs up when I drive this around than the old cars, and it really has a sense of prestige, at least here in Los Angeles, the valets always leave it parked up front with the ferrarris and lamborginis, which always makes me laugh. -Auto -Tow Package installed -A/C Works great and blows cold -Heater / Defroster works great and blows hot -White hardtop with Grey interior -2 front seats / 4 back seats - 6 person capacity 130K miles - But it has a new 4.6 liter motor 10K installed at 107K by the Rover Shop in Houston w/ warranty and receipt -120K full service done -Alpine HD Radio w. dual Ipod hookups - 7 speaker system w/ subwoofer (5k custom stereo) -New brake booster installed for better braking -New fuel pump -New wiring harness and ecu -Grill guard and light guards installed w/ diamond plate protectors -Land Rover side steps

Land Rover will downsize with a pair of hybridized turbodiesel sixes

Thu, Mar 26 2020

Europe's automotive industry has ground to a halt, but the strict emissions regulations that went into effect in early 2020 are still looming on the horizon. Land Rover is preparing to launch a pair of hybridized turbodiesel six-cylinder engines in a bid to comply with the regulations and avoid paying huge fines, according to a recent report. British magazine Autocar learned Land Rover has applied the mild hybrid technology already offered on the Evoque and the Discovery Sport, its two smallest models, to a 3.0-liter straight-six to obtain 300 horsepower. The company will also release a more powerful version of the six rated at about 350 horses. The former will be available on HSE, HSE Dynamic and Autobiography Dynamic variants of the Range Rover Sport, while the latter will be added to upmarket models like the HST. The full-size Range Rover (pictured) will get them, too. The sixes represent a two-pronged approach to replacing the 4.4-liter turbodiesel V8 available in Europe, among other markets. It delivers 335 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque, and it sends the Range Rover from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds while giving it a 7,700-pound towing capacity. These figures are hard to argue against, but it's an older engine that's increasing the company's fleet-wide average emissions output, so it has to go. The mild hybrid system won't power either Range Rover on electricity alone, but it will make them cleaner and more efficient; losing a pair of cylinders will help in both areas, too. Although Land Rover hasn't confirmed plans to ax the V8 or launch a hybridized six, suppliers have started publishing information about the powertrain, so its launch is believed to be around the corner. Time will tell whether it will appear on the current-generation models or their replacements, which are undergoing shakedown testing globally and due out in the coming months. Sister company Jaguar will use the mild hybrid technology, too. The six-cylinder will find its way into the XF and the F-Pace, which are both expected to receive comprehensive updates before the end of 2020. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Jaguar Land Rover puts the freeze on wounded soldier-athletes [w/video]

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

For athletes, the cold is often a powerful ally in treating injures, with RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) a popular means of treating muscle pulls, bruising and other common forms of discomfort. Did you know, though, that frosty temps are also popular tools for simply recovering from a rough training session?
Well, we're guessing Jaguar Land Rover knew that, as the British company was kind enough to loan out its climactic testing chamber to Jaco van Gass and Luke Darlington, a pair of veterans wounded in their service to Queen and Country. Van Gass, a former private in the Royal Army, and Darlington, a Royal Marine, are attempting to earn a spot on the British Armed Forces cycling team for the upcoming Invictus Games.
The Games, inspired by the Warrior Games held in the United States, are a sporting competition reserved for injured servicemen and women, either active duty or veterans, and is slated to take place from September 10 to 14 in London's former Olympic venues. Van Gass lost his left arm below the elbow after getting hit by a rocket-propelled grenade (he also suffered from a collapsed lung, punctured internal organs, severe shrapnel and blast wounds, a broken tibia and a fractured knee). Darlington, meanwhile, suffered a traumatic brain injury during action in Afghanistan, and he now suffers from weakness in his right side and cognitive issues.
