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 planning to allow owners to earn cryptocurrency
Mon, Apr 29 2019Jaguar Land Rover, Britain's largest auto manufacturer, said on Monday it is testing software that will allow drivers of its cars to earn the IOTA cryptocurrency as a reward for sharing data. The company is developing what it calls "smart wallet" technology to be installed in its automobiles. This would reward Jaguar car drivers with IOTA coins for actions such as enabling their vehicles to automatically report useful data, such as traffic congestion or potholes to navigation providers or local authorities. Drivers could also earn rewards if the car participates in a ride-sharing program, Jaguar said. The tokens earned could be used to pay for tolls, parking and charging for electric cars. The overall goal was to "achieve zero emissions, zero accidents, and zero congestion," the company said. Global car companies are exploring blockchain applications, figuring out different ways in which they can leverage the technology to suit their different needs. Blockchain, the system powering cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, is a shared database that is maintained by a network of computers connected to the internet. The British car company is testing the technology at the new Jaguar Land Rover software engineering base in Shannon, Ireland, where engineers have already equipped several vehicles, including the Jaguar F-PACE and Range Rover Velar, with "smart wallet" features, the company said. It does not yet have a timetable for when it will be commercially available, said Jaguar, a subsidiary of Tata Motors. The IOTA token is based on a distributed ledger technology that enables people and machines to transfer money and data without any transaction fees. IOTA trades on digital asset exchanges and was last at 27 U.S. cents per token. "The smart wallet technology ... can be easily adapted into all new vehicles," Dominik Schiener, IOTA co-founder and co-chairman of its board, told Reuters on Friday. "IOTA wants to enable interoperability with all these different players. So there is no Jaguar coin, no BMW coin, but one universal token for this machine economy," he added.

Lexus leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2021
Thu, Feb 18 2021J.D. Power's latest Vehicle Dependability Study is out, and, not surprisingly, Lexus sits at the top for the ninth time in the last 10 years. Right behind Lexus is Porsche, followed by Kia, which is the highest-ranked mass-market brand in the study. Genesis, last year's top-ranked brand (in its first year included in the results), fell from first to eighth, though the G80 sedan did earn an award in its midsize luxury segment. The Porsche 911 was called out as the Most Dependable Model by J.D. Power for the second time in the last three years. The vehicles being studied are from the 2018 model year, which means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's notable that this year's study shows a marked improvement in overall vehicle dependability as tracked by J.D. Power. The overall level of problems, scored by the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), declined by 10% compared to last year. "The study results validate what we have known for some time," said Dave Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D. Power. "Automakers are making increasingly dependable vehicles — but there are still some problem areas that need to be addressed and some warning signs on the horizon." Tesla makes its inaugural appearance on the Dependability Study, though its score of 176 PP100 isn't official. Tesla is the only automaker that has chosen not to grant J.D. Power permission to survey its owners in all 50 states. As we've pointed out in the past, the Vehicle Dependability Study includes eight major vehicle categories grouped by J.D. Power as follows: audio/communication/entertainment/navigation (ACEN); engine/transmission; exterior; interior; features/controls/displays (FCD); driving experience; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; and seats. All issues reported by owners are all tracked equally, which means a problematic phone pairing procedure dings an automaker's rating the same as a blown engine or transmission. And in fact, the ACEN category has more reported problems than any other, which means the majority of problems reported don't lead to a vehicle that leaves its owner stranded.
