Looks very nice, but needs tome TLC."

This is my 1985 Land Rover Defender. The vin is SALLDVAD7AA242988. It has the 2.5 petrol (gas) engine and a 5 speed transmission. No power windows or locks unless you refer to your hands as the "power controls"! It runs and drives great! This is a right hand drive, not to be mistaken for a LHD. The vin matches all the specifics of this truck down to the engine and transmission. It shows 91,000 but I'm not 100% if it's not kilometers? I bought it from a gentleman who had it imported in August of 2012. He barely drove it or did anything to it, including cleaning it! So it hasn't been driven too much. I have always wanted one of these! I bought it to replace my daily driver which is a Jeep Cherokee, but after getting it here (in the Midwest), I'm not very comfortable with this and my two young boys. Not the right car and I'm sad for this. It would take some work to get it to that level and I don't have the time for such a project right now (I mean it could use some different tires and to make me feel safe a roll cage of some sort, kinda expensive for me at this time). So the wife said something has to go...

So I will try to list everything I can and know about this sweet rig. As far as I know the frame looks pretty solid and the rear crossmember looks as good as it could, I'd say if it's not a recent replacement then it's in very good shape, I've taken some good pictures of this from under the rear wheel arches so you can see for yourself. The whole frame looks to have been covered by waxy oil or some sort of undercoating at one time and looks to be flaking off in areas. If there are any areas you would like to see in particular that I haven't pictured, let me know and I'll try to get some to you. In general the rust situation on this truck looks to be great compared to many that I have seen or looked at! The gas gauge reads full all the time and according to the forums it means the sending unit in the tank is bad, I just fill it up every couple of weeks, and the speedometer is currently not working but I have a new cable that I will try to install in the next week or so,if I have time. The engine has a new carb on it and honestly this this runs great! I pops right off every time I drive it! Kind of reminds me of an old tractor how it sounds, very cool! The transmission shifts good too, weird on the right side but it's fun! Brakes stop great! It is equipped with disc on the front and rear drums. The all wheel drive system feel just as solid as everything else. The springs are taller than stock ones, but looks better to me like this. The shocks I believe could stand to be replaced as they feel a bit soft.

On to the body and paint. As you can see the truck looks presentable (due to a little elbow grease and loving touch) but unfortunately someone has resprayed this once before and it wasn't an expensive paint job. I was told by the previous owner that it wasn't repainted...right! I do however like the darker green and if I were able to keep it and restore it, this would be the color of my choice for this truck, it's really grown on me and if I could of, the checker plating would have been powder coated a gloss black or black chrome, I think it would have really set this truck off! I replaced the tub to top seals the other day, I was seeing daylight between the box and top and I also replaced the rear tailgate and hatch seal as well as the rear window seals (the little ones on the back of the truck). It has a rear tire carrier because it has the tailgate. Now this is what I think makes this truck so unique...the hatch! This thing is cool to me! All the others that I have been lucky to get near are soft top version with tailgates and cloth tops or the station wagon version with the big rear doors. Unfortunately the rear hatch window is a bit smaller than the big doors have in them but that's the price you pay to be different!

The seats look pretty solid, they're just vinyl. There is a CD player in the dash. It has the usual cubby box bolted to the floor between the seats. The heat blows good and gets warm, been pretty warm around here so not too sure how warm it will get? It seems to function as it should. As far as the bulkhead (I have taken some pictures of this) the previous owner patched the drivers floor but not the worlds best welder and as far as the passenger side, it looks okay but starting to show rust, any skilled welder could patch these in.

I have tinted the rear windows on the top but not the drivers or passenger doors, this could be negotiated further after deal is made???

As far as leaks go the only thing I can see and tell that's leaking is the seal on the transfer case, again the previous owner said "no, it doesn't leak!".

I'm trying to describe this as good as I can and be as honest as I can, because I feel I was a bit misled and I don't like getting burnt either.

This thing is very cool and I'm always asked "what is that?". Most people refer to it as a "nice Jeep thing!" But none the less it's cool and people find it very cool and unique. That's why I like it, because it's unique! And I'm sad to see,it go:( (sorry for the text sad face)

I did have a soft top on it this summer (ask for pictures if interested), but it's since been taken off due to winter coming and I felt the hardtop would fair better in the colder weather. I would be interested in selling this too but for an additional cost if interested. Up to the next owner? THIS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE PRICE OF THIS VEHCLE.

I feel that price of this is completely fair to a bargain, there are no other Defenders on here or anywhere that are this well priced. Feel free to make me an offer if you have a better price in mind but please be respectful. Unlike the conditions say, I will not accept any money orders and any pay pal payments are subject to a 3% fee added. I WILL ENTERTAIN ANY REASONABLE OFFERS!

As far as shipping goes, I WILL NOT ship this for you, you will need to arrange that. I can meet your shipper or assist in driving it to a shipper if near, but I will not ship it for you. That being said, I would not plan on driving this a long distance, not that I don't trust the engine, it's just not a highway cruiser. It feels like it need a sixth gear at about 55 mph! Unless your looking to tour the countryside at a blazing 55 mph?

I will also require a deposit of $500 at the buy it now ending. We can arrange the final payment and information once shipping arrangements are figured out and settled. Please no longer than 7-10 days if at all possible.

Please feel free to ask any questions you might have and I'll do my best to answer to the best of my ability and in a timely fashion.

Thanks!

Jaguar Land Rover tech tracks brainwaves, heart, lungs

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Jaguar Land Rover has been on a bit of a tech kick lately, and its latest is called Mind Sense, which uses biometric sensors to monitor and enhance the driver's level of alertness. Jaguar is installing brainwave sensors adapted from NASA into the steering wheel of an XJ sedan, along with medical-grade heart and respiratory sensors in the seat. Together, the sensors would determine if the driver is focused on the road, dozing off, merely thinking about something else, or if the driver's stress level suddenly peaks. The system would enable the vehicle to better prepare for an emergency, or for a future autonomous vehicle to hand off control to a better-prepared driver where needed. At the same time, JLR is also working on an enhanced infotainment system designed to reduce the amount of time the driver's hands are off the wheel and their eyes are off the road. The system determines which control they're reaching for on the display and engages it while their finger is still in mid-air, deploying an ultrasonic pulse to provide artificial haptic feedback without actually having to touch anything. Finally, a new haptic accelerator pedal is under development that could alert the driver to respond to an impending situation without overloading the senses with chimes and beeps. These latest developments follow the demonstration of a remote-control system installed on a Range Rover Sport, and follow in a long line of new technologies under development by the British automaker. JAGUAR LAND ROVER ROAD SAFETY RESEARCH INCLUDES BRAIN WAVE MONITORING TO IMPROVE DRIVER CONCENTRATION AND REDUCE ACCIDENTS - Jaguar Land Rover's pioneering Mind Sense project is researching measuring brainwaves to monitor driver concentration in the car - Researchers are developing a Wellness Seat in a Jaguar XJ which analyses the driver's heart rate and breathing to monitor driver health and stress - Touchscreens that predict which button you want to press as the user's fingers are in mid-air - to minimise time spent with eyes off the road - Jaguar Land Rover researchers use new haptic accelerator pedal to communicate hazards to the driver Whitley, UK: Jaguar Land Rover has revealed a range of new road safety technology research projects that are being developed to reduce the number of accidents caused by drivers who are stressed, distracted and not concentrating on the road ahead.

Jaguar Land Rover building new Special Vehicle Operations facility

Sun, 17 Aug 2014

It's only been a couple of months since Jaguar Land Rover announced the formation of its new Special Operations division, and we've already seen a number of vehicles to come out of it. But now the British automaker has announced a new facility that will house its elite skunkworks department.
Set to be built at Prologis Park in Ryton, England, on the outskirts of Coventry, the new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre will encompass dedicated production lines, F1-style flexible workshops, a dedicated paint studio and VIP suite for commissioning bespoke projects. JLR will spend some $33 million on the facility that will be home to 150 specialists - 100 of them being new hires.
The first project which the Special Operations division is working on is the F-Type Project 7, but we've already seen more projects in the pipeline - including the upcoming Range Rover Sport SVR - and you can bet there'll be more. The revival of the Lightweight E-Type also falls under Special Operations, but is undertaken by the Jaguar Heritage department located nearby at Browns Lane.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
