Land Rover Defender 90 300 Tdi County 1998 Only 89,000 miles

Sellers Comments -
You are looking at a very nice Land Rover Defender 90 300 Tdi County, first registered in August 1998 making it one of the very last 300 Tdis produced. It has covered a mere 89,000 miles from new and comes with an excellent service history. The chassis, bulkhead and rear cross member are all very good and strong. The bodywork is very straight and the interior is lovely and clean. It starts on the button and drives superbly, just like a low mileage 300 tdi should do. It is equipped with metallic Rioja red paintwork with traditional white roof, roof bars, snorkel, front mounted A bar with additional driving lamps, side bars, Land Rover Freestyle alloy wheels with a good set of BF Goodrich tyres, front and rear mudflaps and a towbar with electrics. It has 2 front seats with a central cubby box and a forward facing rear seat ( another one could be added easily if required ) and a CD tuner. It will come with a full 12 months mot, ready to drive away.

Land Rover Defender 90 300 Tdi County 1998 One of the last 300's 98,000 mile

Sellers Comments - I have been involved with Land Rovers for some 35 years or so and I have to say that this is an absolute gem, a definite keeper and one of the best 300 Tdis I've driven. The chassis, bulkhead and rear cross member are all rock solid. The bodywork is excellent with only very minimal age related marks and the interior is near spotless. But the best thing about this particular Defender is the way that it drives. You will not find one that drives and handles any better. It has been very well maintained from new and is mostly Land Rover serviced. I have decided that if this doesn't sell for some reason, I'm going to keep it. 300 Tdi Defenders this good are extremely hard to find and are rising in value. Its better than having your money in the bank! If you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to phone me on 01204 465235 anytime up until around 10.00 in the evening. The Land Rover is situated in Bolton, near Manchester and absolutely any inspection is invited. Delivery can also be arranged if required. If you are looking for a 300 Tdi to keep, you've just found it!! NB rear sliding windows, seats and belts can easily be fitted in this vehicle if required.

1998 (S) Land Rover Defender 90 TD5 County Station Wagon - For Sale Woking

Sellers Comments
For Sale. 1998 (S) Land Rover TD5 90 Defender County Station Wagon in metallic green. 5 speed manual R380 gearbox with hi/lo/lock transfer box. 6 owners. V5 held. MOT until October 2017. London Low Emission Zone compliant.I have owned this for the last 9 years.

New EU3 15p spec factory crate engine with less than 20k miles. Not a dubious reconditioned unit or a scrapyard engine. Receipts to prove over £4k spent on engine alone. Clutch, flywheel, starter, alternator, turbo, and radiator all changed for new at same time as the engine.

Alive Tuning ECU map and boost module.
Alive Tuning stainless steel full bore exhaust system.
Alisport professional turbo intercooler. Twice as big as standard.
This motor drives like a dream with plenty of torque and power with absolutely no black smoke like some cheap plug and play tuning chips.

Genuine recorded mileage 123660 as supported by all MOTs but as said replacement upgraded engine has only done 20k miles from new. Serviced every 5k miles.

Full length Hannibal aluminium roof rack with side rails and access ladder. These are over £1200 new and are the best you can get. No corrosion issues like the steel ones.

5 x Discovery alloy wheels. No kerbing damage just cosmetic paint blemishes. Good tyres with unused full size spare.

Heavy duty 6mm steel replacement rear cross member with height adjustable tow hitch. The standard cross members rust away very quickly. This will outlast the rest of the motor. Heavy duty steering bash guard.

Swing away rear wheel carrier. Side steps and integrated rock sliders. Chequer plate wings and sills fitted from new. Some age related marks and scuffs but in good overall condition. 

Part leather original seats. 2 plus 4 rear folding. Power steering, ABS, TC, Radio/CD, factory glass sunroof. Alarm and immobiliser with two sets of keys and alarm fobs. Lockable cubby box.

Open to sensible offers but I will not be giving it away as I know what it is worth. This is priced to sell and I am not in a hurry. Selling as I no longer need two cars. This is an appreciating future classic. Go anywhere motoring with style. Contact me to arrange viewing in the Woking area. 

The vehicle is kept at my commercial premises.

No p/x or swaps. I will not respond to any of these enquiries so don't waste your time.

If you want to inspect or test drive it I will need to see your driving licence and a copy of your insurance otherwise I will drive you. No exceptions. This vehicle will be SORNed at end of May when the insurance runs out at which time any test drives will not be possible as it will be illegal to drive it.

It is advertised elsewhere and I reserve the right to withdraw it from sale at any time. I'm confident you will not find a better Defender for its age in terms of chassis, engine, and overall bodywork condition.

Cheers Steve

1998 LAND ROVER 130 DEFENDER 300TDI

Sellers Comments Defender 130 300tdi, Runs and Drives really good. No longer needed. Front doors have been welded but rear doors have rust in frame in usual places. It has a slight rumble when you lift of the throttle at high speed, I had this checked at local landy specialist and found the rear prop has a small dent in it which has caused it to become unbalanced. I wanted to keep this to turn into an arctic style offroad truck but I have another car now so no longer use it. Has been serviced oils and filters done June this year.

I have owned and been the only driver of this Defender 130 Tdi Quadtec 3 from new, and had expected to keep it for around another 5 years but circumstances have changed.
This is a large and imposing Land Rover, made by Land Rover Special Vehicles. It's on a 130 chassis with an additional overhang at the rear, and if it's next to a 90 or even a 110 it makes them look relatively small.
The mileage is high but it has always been driven with care and never abused. To quote the MOT tester a couple of  weeks ago (11th March) the emissions are 'spot on' and are 'nowhere near to failing', and the engine 'runs really sweet'. He commented that when he saw the mileage on the clock he assumed that the engine must have been replaced. But it hasn't, it's just been driven and serviced properly, and it ought to have lots of life left in it yet. Additionally the vehicle was often used with a small trailer behind, so the maximum speed by law was 60mph, and it wasn't used for lots of short start-stop trips but mainly for longer journeys on 'A' roads and motorways. It has had virtually no off-road use, except for access across a few fields or similar each year.
The rear 'Quadtec 3' box is what makes this vehicle special, plus the positioning of the doors which make the space very accessible. The Quadtec range produced by Land Rover Special Vehicles consists of 4 combinations of single-cab and crew-cab with either a high or low rear box (they called it a body), and a range of doors and roller shutters can be chosen. The rear box is fully boarded and painted on the sides and floor, and the interior measures 2380mm long by 1800mm wide by 1160mm high.
The 2.5 Tdi was the last Land Rover to have the option of the bonnet-mounted spare wheel, the bonnets on the later TD5 etc. are simply too flimsy. Having the spare wheel on the bonnet (which you soon get used to in terms of visibility) rather than in the rear box is a considerable space saving.
Bought from Hartwells in Bristol, and serviced by them during the 3-year extended warranty including replacing the members supporting the rear box which had rusted (and I had the new support members galvanised at my expense before they were fitted). Then serviced and maintained by Dunsford Land Rovers in Bath until they closed a year or so ago, with some work done by Henrietta Mews Garage, also in Bath. Then for the last year or so most work has been done by W J Joyce Land Rovers in Trowbridge.
This Land Rover has always had money spent on it to keep it working well and looking good, for example last summer the entire windscreen wiper mechanism including the wheelboxes and motor was replaced as the wipers were becoming noisy and losing power. Over the years it has had 2 full re-sprays, and when the second re-spray was done in 2010 I asked the workshop to provide me with additional paint from the same batch to keep. Then a couple of weeks ago I took it back to the same workshop to spray just the sides and back of the rear box and the passenger door, and as the paint is the same as used in the full re-spray there is no detectable colour difference. The final two photos are from when the vehicle was new in May 1998, still with the plastic covering on the front bumper, and it looks virtually the same now as it did then.
The wheels were replaced last year and the new ones have been grit-blasted and powder-coated, which lasts a lot longer than the standard painted finish (but still shows wear and tear over time). The tyres are Michelin XZL 7.50 x 16, also fitted last year with plenty of tread left. The wheel nuts are stainless steel from Wrington Engineering, and look a lot better than the standard rusty nuts and sticking-out threaded studs.
The front bumper is new, as is the headlining in the cab. An unintended 'bonus' is that the windscreen is also brand new, on one of the last times the vehicle was used a couple of weeks ago it was damaged by a stone and has been replace by Autoglass. The small middle seat has a tiny cut in it on the back, about 10mm long. I have a set of Land Rover seat covers, but they are getting a bit old and the rubberised inside face of the material is deteriorating. The drivers door mirror glass is a little scratched. The mounting plates for the rear lights could do with replacing, they are simple bent metal plates which I intended to replace with stainless steel but never got round to doing.
There is a tow hitch which is a  Defender 110 hitch, with both the standard electrics and a charging circuit (fitted but not used). The 110 hitch fits snugly in beneath the rear box and was perfect for the small trailer I used, there is a much more bulky 130 hitch available which protrudes the towball to behind the rear box.
The cab has been extensively soundproofed, initially by 'Noise Killers' who fitted a standard kit and later I bought more of their materials and added quite a lot extra to areas which the standard kit didn't cover.
The wheel arches of the rear box above the rear wheels have custom-made stainless steel liners. Like the support members for the box which were replace under warranty, the wheel arches started to rust within a few years of purchase, so I paid a sheet metal specialist in Frome to fabricate precisely-fitting inner arches to entirely cover the original arches.
None of the current paintwork has had lettering or logos on it. The vehicle has never been involved in any type of accident.
Minor updates - the black trim in the photo of the interior along the top of the 'lower dash, which is shown partially cut out for a mobile phone hands-free, has now been replaced with an uncut strip, and any remaining screw holes now have small black caps over them. Overall the cab interior looks superb. Additionally for anyone who spotted the green tyre valve caps, which were to indicate that the tyres were inflated with nitrogen, these have now been replaced with black. Nitrogen was something offered by ATS Euromaster as a 'freebie' to keep you going back, but the going back bit wasn't so easy in practice. 
This would make an excellent towing/support vehicle for a range of uses, such as an exhibition trailer or catering trailer. Apart from being 4-wheel drive the 'low-ratio' ability on the gearbox provides great power and manoeuvrability. It would also make a good mobile workshop.
Please bear in mind that this Land Rover is nearly 17 years old, and however good it looks it has not escaped the effects of time. Land Rovers may be tough and most parts are replaceable, but it takes time and effort to keep them looking good and the older they get the more input is required. If you don't understand this then please don't bid! Due to its age the vehicle is 'sold as seen'.
The vehicle can be viewed in Bath, and I can take potential buyers out for a test drive. If you would like to arrange a viewing of have any questions then please message me.
Payment by bank transfer or cheque preferred, and must have cleared before collection. Buyer to collect from Bath, or I could deliver in the local area by arrangement.

As you can see by the pictures, I have a very tidy Defender.

The body work is very good for its age. There is a minor scrape to the front offside wheel arch and as you open the rear offside door there is a rust patch .(not visible unless door is open and not structural. just needs some attention.)

MOT UNTIL JULY

I had recently had fitted a new turbo and a new fuel tank. 6 months ago I had a new head gasket and I get it serviced every year.

I had Air Con added as a luxury for myself in the summer.

It has 5 alloy wheels, all with decent tyres on them.

There is a tear on the drivers seat but not beyond stitching. all the other seats are in good condition. any dark patches in the photos are just wet patches from wet hands after cleaning. it comes with Land Rover seat covers for the back seats.

This car runs and drives amazing. I drive it 7 days a week and the only reason I am selling is because I need a van for my business.
