  Engine5 Speed Manual5 Door WagonWell Loved & MaintainedShown here

  is a 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 factory built 5 door station

  wagon which is one of the last 300TDI's to come off the assembly

  line. Truly an excellent running and driving Defender. Factory

  built with the solid and reliable 300TDI 2.5L Turbo Diesel engine

  and R380 5 Speed manual transmission. The Defender was purchased by

  Car Cave in Holand from an owner, Willem, who truly loved the

  Defender. Willem purchased the Defender on January 28, 2017 then

  completely went through all systems on the Defender. He provided us

  with a long list of upgrades, repairs, and regular maintenance

  performed under his ownership. See further down in our description

  for a detailed list.This Defender 110 is shown with a Coniston

  Green (paint code LRC570) exterior featuring a black roof, black

  wing top chequere plate, black wheels, black front bumper, and

  black rocker guards. The wheels, chequere plate, bumper, and rocker

  guards were all removed sand blasted and powder coated by the

  previous owner. The entire exterior was also resprayed under prior

  ownership. The interior is finished in a combination of black,

  grey, and green with the original patterned seats in good

  condition. The black headliner and sun visors are also new. A set

  of alloy shift knobs look great in front of all the QSP aftermarket

  gauges and President Barry CB. The dash binnacle has been replaced,

  upper dash clean, and a JVC KD-R8718T Bluetooth head unit

  installed.A set of 235/85R16 BF Goodrich All Terrain tires wrap

  around factory 16' Land Rover OEM Alloy Wheels which were

  sandblasted and powder coated black. The 235/85R16 is our favorite

  tires size for a Defender and rides great paired with the new

  Terrafirma suspension. Aftermarket gauges consist of Oil Pressure,

  Oil Temp, and Voltage. A renewed cubby box is found in the center

  with glass break tool mounted on the front face. Also center

  mounted is a fire extinguisher for when your buddies Jeep catches

  on fire while out on the trail. All the way in the back cargo area

  is a large mounted steel storage bin, metal jerry can in a holder,

  and mounted fire extinguisher.Upgrades and Features:Mantec

  Shift KnobsQSP Aftermarket GaugesThe 300TDI diesel engine runs

  superbly well with plenty of power, enough I was able to max out

  the speedometer on the Interstate. The R380 5-Speed manual

  transmission shifts correctly through the gears with super smooth

  operation. We completed a complete review of the Defender and all

  systems were found to be functional. The Defender arrived in

  excellent mechanical condition although we did do some work under

  our care. Recent maintenance and upgrades performed by Car Cave

  include oil pan gasket, power steering pressure line, vacuum pump

  seal, fuel pump seal, intercooler hose, relocate oil temp sensor,

  oil change, fuel filter, battery, and alignment. The previous owner

  did a significant amount of maintenance. He provided a lengthy list

  which we will translate and paraphrase.The previous owner started

  by going through and taking care of any of the typical problem

  areas of these Defenders. The rear cross member, front outriggers

  replaced, C-styles (slanted part), all 4 doors stripped and the

  door frames replaced, and entire back door completely replaced. The

  rear windows were removed to replace the rear cappings on the tub

  replaced with galvanized painted parts from reputable supplier.

  When the chassis repairs were done he prepped the whole chasiss and

  coated it properly. New Rear Tire Carrier was installed and

  original OEM Land Rover. All door weather stripping replaced with

  Land Rover OEM parts. This is important as the OEM parts are softer

  and close better. Windshield gasket replaced, windshield frame

  seals, front bulkhead vent seals (and Stainless Steel vent pins),

  and rear seals between window panels, tub, and roof. Door hinges

  all new including new hardware. All steel hardware and bushings

  were replaced with original Land Rover OEM parts including the rear

  A-Frame. Suspension was updated with Terrafirma shocks and steering

  stabilizer. Front and rear brakes renewed including calipers, pads,

  brake discs, flexible brake lines, and copper lines. Front and rear

  axles were rebuilt and resealed. Headliner and sunvisors are new.

  CB radio installed with JVC Bluetooth radio also installed. Timing

  belt, timing tensioner, all radiator hoses replaced with silicone,

  intercooler hoses replace with silicone (Roose Motor Sport), water

  pump, Alternator, serpentine belt tensioner, intercooler, and

  stater were all replaced. Coolant overflow reservoir upgraded to

  Allisport aluminum and the breather element was upgraded to

  aluminum. New dash gauge surround with upgraded gauges placed on

  center dash. New BFG All Terrain tires 235/85R16. Full repaint in

  original Coniston Green. Front bumper, chequre plate wing tops,

  wheels, and running board chequere plate were removed, sand

  blasted, and powder coated black. New clutch, master cylinder,

  slave cylinder, hose, release bearing, heavy duty clutch fork, and

  flywheel were installed. Cubby box also updated, towbar renewed

  (remove, prepped, and repainted), plus fuel sending unit. The

  previous owner said the Defender rarely left the pavement, slept

  indoors, routine maintenance was always performed. He changed all

  the fluids, adjusted the valves, flushed the clutch and brake

  fluid, check gearbox levels, and partially flushed the coolant

  (removed radiator for timing so partial refill). Please ask any

  questions regarding this run down.
