Description of 1988 Land Rover Defender |
This is a Land Rover Santana, which was the Spanish version of the Defender 110. I bought it four years ago from southern Spain because of the dry (rust-free) climate there. After I had her shipped to the States, I made significant improvements such as an engine swap to the highly desirable 300TDI and a complete interior restoration, plus numerous performance upgrades. It is running just fine and recently passed the VA state inspection and has a new VA registration. In addition, most of the upgrades, swaps, repairs and service work was conducted by a certified Land Rover mechanic, with years of experience owning and working on various classic Rovers. The VIN posted above is incorrect. The correct VIN is SELBCML8AZ100511 The Good: Engine and Drivetrain: • 300 TDI engine conversion - from a UK Discovery, reportedly with only 96,000 miles. Best guess is 98,000 miles on the motor today. • Original transmission (no known issues) - with 5 speed • The vehicle comes with 2WD, 4 Low and 4 High - the 2 wheel drive feature is unusual. • With a solar trickle charger, and warming the glowplugs for 10-15 seconds, the car starts the first time, every time • Great idle, no smoke • Belts and accessories replaced • New timing belt kit Air intake: • New air filter and housing Fuel system: • New fuel tank, relays, lines, connectors. • New injectors • New fuel pump, and related accessories.
