1986 Land Rover D90 With Disco 300tdi Motor Conversion. on 2040-cars
Naples, Florida, United States
|
After 2 Series and a 1995 USA Defender, I knew what it would take to create my Dream Rover. This is it. She is a 1986, ex-MOD with a conversion to an early 1990's Discovery 300Tdi motor. She has the T-177 transmission that shifts smoothly and has been known to run at 85 mph all day long. It isn't much fun, but it can be done. The color is a lovely light green that is very distinctive. The body is dry and rot free as is the frame. There is a minor age issue with some patchwork done to the driver's floor in the past that has been recently addressed. The motor has excellent power, the transmission shifts smoothly and it is as dry as an ex-MOD will likely keep its occupants. I have installed solar blanket in the area above the front seats to cut down on heat and it works pretty well (even in the South Florida Summer heat) To this wonderful vehicle, I added all weather mats, an XM radio receiver Alpine deck in a Tuffy box and a set of MB Quart marine 6x9 speakers enclosed in Tuffy enclosures in the rear. Also in the Tuffy box, I have installed a 3 plug inverter to satisfy all ac power needs that might arise on an adventure. I have exchanged the modern plastic turn signals in front for the screw-on MOD units at remarkable expense, and also added fog lamps. The seats are all in good condition with the rear bench pads only suffering from staining. One bench's back pad has a tear to which I have not attended but does not prevent comfortable use. The top is in excellent shape with one small tear in a flap over the driver's door. All the window plastic is clear and with only minimal abrasion. Because it is a Florida vehicle that I like to drive barefoot, I purchased Bentley-grade sheepskin floor mats that were custom made in the UK for this D90. In as few words as possible, if you really want the perfect Defender with just enough stuff to make it livable and enjoyable without losing the rugged appeal that is the reason for D90s appearing on so many magazine and catalog covers then this is your new truck. It is not inexpensive nor should it be, this vehicle has all the right elements, all the right mod-cons (even AC, which I never considered, can be affixed given the Disco motor) and the perfect vintage look. Feel free to ask questions. I am happy to assist in shipping to the extent that I am able. The VIN number is SALLDVAC7AA269353 but the little ebay box does not like that number.
Thanks for looking. |

2020 Land Rover Defender vs. 2020 Jeep Wrangler: How they compare on paper
Tue, Sep 10 2019For 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.
