This is an auction for my 1987 Land Rover Defender 90. The VIN is correct and as ebay will not accept it I had to change the above information to a 1980. Again the VIN is correct and the Defender is a 1987. Along with the title, a heritage certificate will be supplied stating that the vehicle left the Lode Lane factory at Solihull on the 30th March 1987. Due to the vehicles age it is very easy to import into the US. I have no problem driving down to the border where the new owner would simply fill out Customs Form 7501 and pay 2% duty. As the vehicle is over 25 years of age B.C. residents could register it as a collectors vehicle and benefit from much reduced insurance premiums. I imported this vehicle directly from the British Army in 2011 and after a complete rebuild I covered over 12,000 KMS without incident. Vehicle is currently inspected and registered in B.C. Canada.
ENGINE : 2495cc 12J 4 cylinder normally aspirated diesel. 65.5 bhp at 4000 RPM. 113 lbft of torque at 1800 RPM. 5 bearing crank. Perfect working order. Driven normally you can expect around 25 MPG. Vehicle has a top speed of 130 KPH but this is just an indication of gearing and much prefers to cruise around the 100 KPH mark. Fully overhauled 12,000 KMS ago. All seals, belts etc. Fully reconditioned injection pump and injectors. A later PVC system was also fitted. Block heater fitted. It also benefits from an oil cooler and a 16" Kenlowe electric fan. Straight through exhaust system. Vehicle will be supplied with new oil and filter.
CHASSIS : Original and perfect. Never welded or repaired. Bulkhead is also original and unrepaired. There has been two small repairs in the footwells.Photos will be provided upon request.
TRANSMISSION : LT77 5 speed manual. Permanent 4WD with manual diff lock and high/low ratio. Remote breathers on gearbox,transfer box and both axles. Free from any defects. No crunching or jumping out of gear.
BRAKES : Discs up front with drums on the rear. Perfect working order. Standard dual circuit, servo assisted.
STEERING : Light and precise. Original LHD manual box.
MILEAGE: Speedo is in KMS and shows 149875. For miles I multiplied this figure by 0.6214
BODYWORK : The aluminium alloy bodywork still has lots of dents or patina if you prefer. Please see photos. It is very straight. Bare metal respray in urethane, deep bronze green. The hard top/back door takes around half an hour to remove and around an hour to reinstall.
OTHER NEW PARTS : All new one piece door seals. New windscreen and seals. Halogen headlamps.
QUESTIONS : Heater is excellent in both cab heat and defrost. If vehicle goes to a cold climate I will supply a Land Rover radiator muff which improves things even more. I am happy to help with any collection or delivery instructions. Please note that this is an extremelt tough yet basic vehicle. No power steering, no ABS, no aircon. The windscreen is hinged and folds down if you require more air. The doors are also quickly removed. It is a very simple vehicle and consequently very easy to maintain. Parts are inexpensive and readily available. I use paddockspares in the UK. If you are new to ebay or have less than 10 feedbacks please contact me before bidding. Please no requests for trades. This is an exeptional vehicle and the reserve is set accordingly. Ebay will let you know when and if the reserve has been met. Any inspectiond or test drives welcome. You can see and hear the vehicle running by visiting youtube and searching for "1987 military Defender 90 2.5 diesel LHD." If I have failed to answer any of your questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Vehicle is located at V1E 0B2, Salmon Arm, B.C. Canada. Thanks, Steven.

Jaguar Land Rover to cut $6.8 billion in costs
Tue, Nov 10 2015Jaguar Land Rover reduce costs by $6.8 billion and will push annual production volume to 1 million vehicles under a secret project called Leap 4.5, according to Reuters. The British automaker wants to achieve these ambitious goals by the end of the decade to compensate for the changing market in China and to counteract the price of meeting stricter emissions standards around the world. Leap 4.5 won't mean firing workers or cutting the automaker's $4.5 billion annual research budget. JLR will instead find savings by underpinning more models with modular platforms and by adjusting its supply chain. Future factories like the one in Brazil and the proposed plant in Slovakia also won't be affected by the new strategy. Globally, JLR continues to grow, and deliveries are up two percent through October 2015 to 390,965 vehicles. Business just last month was up 24 percent year-over-year to 41,553 units. However, the auto market's downturn in China has taken a bite out the automaker's success because volume dropped there 32 percent in the third quarter, Reuters reported. A global volume of 1 million vehicles will mean more than doubling 2014's 462,678 deliveries, but JLR has made significant investments to boost production recently. In addition to the future factories, it opened its first plant in China last year and an engine assembly site in the UK. The company also signed a deal with Magna Steyr in 2015 to build an upcoming model in Austria. Related Video:
Jaguar Land Rover recalls Takata airbag-equipped cars
Fri, Aug 5 2016In the latest chapter of what feels like the never-ending recall, Jaguar Land Rover announced that it's calling back 2009-2011 Jaguar XFs and 2007-2011 Land Rover Range Rovers for defective Takata airbags on the front passenger side. These Takata airbags have propellant that may have degraded and, if activated, could release metal shrapnel. The company is breaking up the recall into four phases, since currently there are not enough parts to do a full recall. Since the airbags can be more seriously affected by high heat and humidity, the first phase will cover vehicles that were sold and/or registered in regions with high temperatures and humidity. The regions included are as follows: Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. Other phases will begin as parts become available, and priority will be given to regions at greater risk of having defective equipment. Jaguar Land Rover encourages owners of affected vehicles to go to www.SaferCar.gov to check if their vehicle is included in the current recall. The first phase includes 54,000 of 108,000 affected vehicles. The company is also notifying owners of the issue, who will eventually get a second notification when parts are available so they can schedule a time to have the airbags replaced. Related Video:
