I am the second owner of this Defender.   I spoke to the previous owner who was a Dentist in Austin, TX prior to purchasing the vehicle about 9 years ago.   He purchased it new from Gunn Land Rover in San Antonio, TX.    I have the original window sticker, books and leather packet that comes with the new paperwork.   The original owner put most of the miles on the car driving to and from work.     The reason I purchased this Defender is because it was completely rust free and was not subject to harsh treatment, beach use, road salt or adolescent drivers.   I had it shipped directly to East Coast Rovers in Maine to fix anything that was wrong.   They did the following.   Install dual Optimum batteries, and a battery disconnect switch.   Replaced all hinges (door, rear door, hood) with upgraded stainless steel hinges.   Replaced the oil cooler hose with an upgraded braided stainless steel line so that my new Defender would not fall victim to the engine fire that so commonly occur with the NAS Defenders.     The other problem that they corrected is the constantly flooding and shorting rear tail lights that I had them replace with LED sealed units so no more issues there.   While it was there,   I thought it was a good idea to replace the starter, Alternator, and idler pulley which is a wise preventative maintenance item given the cost of a breakdown.     I also had all fluids flushed and changed and replaced with synthetic lubricants, rust inhibited coolant, DOT brake fluid.   The serpentine belt was changed along with new hoses.  They also installed HELLA headlights which upgraded the stock lights and installed a bull bar with additional two fog lamps.       I had both knuckle seals replaced, although they were not leaking it is a wear item on the Land Rovers and they eventually do leak.  I also approved them installing the Brembo slotted disc brakes for improved breaking.  They finished it off with a full set of heavy Defender floor mats and cargo area mats.  The vehicle better than new when they were done (at almost the cost of what a new one I might add!)

One thing that ECR could not fix was the intermittent flashing of the odometer.   The LCD would pixilate in odd forms.   This problem is very common with the Defenders and when I took it for NJ inspection the moron who inspector mistook the 8 for a 2 and recorded it as 25,000 instead of 85,000.   I found a company in California who fixes the transistor and since then it has performed flawlessly.

In March of 2012 I sent the front and rear bumpers, exterior roll cage out for powder coat.  The original paint kept fading quite easily and chalked now matter what you did to protect them.   

 In June 2013 I installed new muffler, tailpipe and a full set of Michelin LTX tires for a quiet and smooth ride,  you would not believe the difference!

I am very meticulous about maintaining a high standard of mechanical and cosmetic quality.   In summary,   this vehicle is ready to drive cross country with no issues.   At the time I purchased this vehicle my kids were small and loved to ride in the back with the buddies,   now they are grown without them, the car sits in the garage under a cover.

2020 Land Rover Defender vs. 2020 Jeep Wrangler: How they compare on paper

Tue, Sep 10 2019

For ages, the Jeep Wrangler has had the serious off-road SUV market in America all to itself, especially when it comes to two-door variants. But competition is coming, and the first on its way is the 2020 Land Rover Defender, which was just revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Each packages retro looks and impressive off-road capability, but does one have an advantage? We decided to take a look into each SUV's specifications and compare them on their engines, drivetrains, interior space and towing among other things, to see how they stack up. Since both SUVs are offered in two-door and four-door versions, we've made sure to feature both versions. You can find all the vital stats in the chart below, followed by more in-depth analysis. Engines and drivetrains The Land Rover is the clear high-performance option of these two SUVs. Its base turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, offered only in the four-door Defender 110, is more powerful than either of the gas engines offered on the Jeep Wrangler. The Wrangler's four-cylinder matches it on torque, at least. The optional turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six in the Defender makes over 100 more horsepower and pound-feet of torque than either Jeep gas engine. But if you're looking for diesel propulsion, along with its associated torque and fuel economy, the Wrangler will be your only option. Final specs haven't been released, but in the Ram 1500, the same engine makes 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy hasn't been announced for the Land Rover or the diesel Wrangler. But if fuel economy is a concern, the four-cylinder Wrangler is the most frugal of the SUVs we have numbers on. As for transmissions, the Wrangler is your only choice if you have to have a manual. It's available on both the two-door and four-door models, but only with the V6 engine. If you don't mind an automatic transmission, both SUVs come with variations on the ZF eight-speed auto. Getting the power to the wheels is another area where these two SUVs diverge. The Jeep is very traditional with a standard selectable four-wheel-drive system with two-wheel drive, and low- and high-range four-wheel drive modes. On the Sahara, there's an available full-time four-wheel drive mode, but the other modes are still available. On the Land Rover, you get full-time four-wheel drive, the same kind used on the Land Rover Range Rover.

Jaguar and Land Rover to consolidate dealerships

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

Jaguar and Land Rover are set to merge their sales facilities, according to Inside Line. Jaguar Land Rover North America President Andy Gross says 45 percent of Jaguar owners also have an SUV in their stable, so it makes sense to give customers as much exposure to the cat's high-riding cousins and possible. The number of overall outlets will remain the same, and the brands will reportedly remain separate on the showroom floor, however.
So far, just one dealer has made the move to combine under the roof of one 68,000 square-foot facility in Paramus, New Jersey (above), though a further 20 are ready to make the shift and become Jaguar Land Rover outlets. Gross believes the shift is necessary so that his company's dealer network will accurately reflect the company's products. We'll see how cozy the brands are when Jaguar starts rolling out its own SUVs in a few years.
