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

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.
