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. call (908) 892-0768 for questions. |

Jaguar Land Rover opens first overseas factory in China
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Anyone who's a car fan knows that Jaguar and Land Rover cars and trucks all come from the UK. And while we don't doubt that will remain true for the most part, it won't be an absolute truth for long, as the British automaker has just opened its first factory overseas.
Its new plant in Changshu, China, is the result of a $1.8-billion joint venture between JLR and local automaker Chery. It covers some 4.3-million square feet and will, once at peak capacity, produce 130,000 units specifically for the Chinese market, where JLR sells over 100,000 vehicles each year to make it the company's single largest market worldwide.
Production at what's officially known as the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Company will start with the Evoque, of which one in five globally are currently sold in China. Production will eventually encompass three models. We already know that the Discovery Sport will be next, but the third model line has yet to be announced. JLR has confirmed, however, that the Changshu plant will produce unique models and derivatives specifically for the Chinese market, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a long-wheelbase version of the forthcoming XE or next-generation XF assembled there to satisfy local tastes.

U.S. opens probe into whether VW vehicles infringe Jaguar Land Rover patents
Tue, Dec 22 2020WASHINGTON — The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) said on Monday it is opening in investigation into whether Volkswagen AG infringed on patents held by Jaguar Land Rover for a system used for off-road driving. In November, Jaguar Land Rover, a unit of Tata Motors, filed a complaint with the ITC seeking to prevent the import of some VW Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi models with "certain vehicle control systems" that allegedly infringe on it patents held for its Terrain Response system. The models include the Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne and AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad, and E-Tron vehicles and the VW Tiguan. The ITC said it has made no decision on the merits. VW said in a statement it was examining the action and determining its next steps. "We will of course cooperate with investigating authorities. While we cannot comment on any details of the proceedings, we strongly believe that the claims have no merit and will robustly defend our position," VW said. Many automakers offer a suite of off-road powertrain controls, but JLR claims Volkswagen's tech is more than just similar. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said the vehicles "have used JLRÂ’s patented inventions without payment or permission" notably a patent for an "improved system for driving a vehicle on different driving surfaces, in particular off-road." JLR says its Terrain Response technology uses the patented technology to maximize performance on off-road driving surfaces, including grass, snow, mud, sand and rocks.
