Land Rover Defender 110 Station Wagon restored & modernized

Land Rover Defender 110 CSW LHD that has had extensive restoration & modernization work1984 Left Hand Drive ROW imported in early 2014Paintwork and Diesel engine conversion completed in USA 2014/2015TD5 drivetrain with roughly 48000 miles - this is a fantastic upgrade that provides a smooth and capable engine - one that can keep up with traffic. tackle the roughest off-road terrain at tick over. and get a real world 25mpg - for those familiar with the 200tdi or 300tdi engined Defenders the Td5 performance is very similar while in the low RPM range however the Td5 continues to provide power well beyond the upper RPM band of the 200tdi or 300tdi making it far friendly for hilly and highway driving. This truck is well appointed as a ready to go adventuring platform for spring trips to Baja. Summer adventures in the Rockies. Fall camping in the Deserts. or winter ski trips to Tahoe - or use it around town as the one-of-a-kind SUV with a commanding view and timeless styling.

The TD5 5-cyl Turbocharged engine is the pinnacle of Land Rover engine design:By the mid-1990s the Rover Group was looking to rationalise its engine ranges and produce new designs that would be able to meet emissions legislation for the foreseeable future. The 300Tdi could not be fitted to any of the car range and was about to fall foul of the upcoming Euro III emissions standards. It was decided to design a new diesel engine family that could be produced in various capacities and states of tune suitable for all of Rover's needs. The development was codenamed Project Storm and design responsibility was given to Land Rover who were to build the engines. The result was a range of engines using the L-Series as a base—the bore/stroke dimensions were the same and the Storm engine used the same piston and connecting rod assemblies. The Storm utilised Electronic Unit Injection (at the time this technology was rare on small-capacity engine. being used only on large commercial vehicles) and a cross-flow aluminium alloy cylinder head on a cast-iron block. The designers had aimed at increasing servicing intervals so the engine incorporated both conventional and centrifugal oil filters. The electronic systems included an 'anti-stall' system to allow heavy loads to be started from rest at idle speed and two programmed operating modes for road and off-road use. The overhead camshaft (operating both valves and the unit injectors) was chain-driven. Only the 5-cylinder version made it to production as the powerplant for the Defender and the new Discovery Series II as the 'Td5'. Offering more power and greater refinement than the 300Tdi the Td5 greatly improved the appeal of the Discovery but caused concern amongst many operators of the Defender due to its electronic engine management. It transpired that the Td5's electronics were highly reliable. The engine was improved to reach Euro 3 antipollution stage. and an EGR valve system was introduced. Electronics were also updated to improve the low-speed throttle response which had been prone to producing a jerky power delivery in off-road or towing situations. The engine has proved itself on numerous expeditions in hostile terrain (including Land Rover's own G4 Challenge). The engine's mechanical strength and electronic control systems makes the Td5 much more tuneable than the older engines. Numerous aftermarket companies produced tuning upgrades offering as much as 220 horsepower (164 kW). The Td5 was replaced in the Defender in 2007. Production of the Td5 at Solihull ceased that year making it the last Land Rover-designed-and-built engine.
