The Land Rover Defender is an off-road vehicle produced under this name by the British manufacturer, Land Rover, since 1991. However, the vehicle is the direct heir of the first Land Rover that made its debut in 1948. The first prototype was built by the British automaker in 1947 and it was designed for the army.

Land Rover Defender 5.9L lorry Engine
Sellers Comments - Hey guys, For sale is my 5.9L straight 6 diesel Iveco powered defender 90
Fully road legal and ready to be mot’d!
The engine came from a iveco euro cargo lorry, it’s still running the 6 speed lorry gearbox with an adapter plate onto landy transfer box
The truck it’s self is very good spec too, 4” lift, new brake all round, external cage welded to chassis, real beadlocks, fedima tyres almost new 285/17/16, QT 6° cranked arms front and rear, warn 8274 winch with brand new 30m 12mm rope. Light bar, cb radio, steering guard, heavy duty steering arms, lowered rear shock mounts, truck is amazing off road and I’m sure there’s lots I’ve forgotten
The engine is on custom mounts, but has a lot of very serviceable features, we have made use of a 200tdi power steering pump, a 300tdi alternator with a custom pulley and a landrover radiator so if anything was to go down you simple replace it with easy to find and cheap parts from landrovers. It makes around 240hp and 650nm of torque, it has a stainless stack coming out the bonnet, the injection pump has been tweaked so there is some black smoke on full throttle but this can be turned back down. This is a very similar engine to the Cummins 6bt that is commonly put into these and fetch well over £10,000 every time and I don’t doubt this will be far away.
It has a crawler gear in the gearbox and still use of the low range in the transfer box, I have never seen a landy with such amazing low range! Amazing for crawling etc.
