2008 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 90 XS STATION WAGON

KEY FACTS

• A rugged and well-equipped 4x4, with a number of practical upgrades and an attractive colour scheme.
• Under the bonnet sits the 2.4-litre TDCI engine producing around 120bhp, with permanent four-wheel-drive via a six-speed short-shift manual transmission.
• It was acquired by the vendor two years ago and has enjoyed dehumidified storage when not in use.
• The Defender benefits from a comprehensive annual service history.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Finished in Stornoway Grey metallic over a black half-leather interior, the bodywork is also adorned with Brunel Grey mirrors, Optimill billet front door hinges, and 16-inch alloy wheels with Continental CrossContact tyres.
• Factory equipment includes air conditioning, heated seats and a heated windscreen.
• Its exterior is also enhanced by an Optimill billet rear number plate LED light, WIPAC LED park, turn and stop lights, and a steering guard.
• The car is equipped with suspension spring isolators, and with Dynamat Extreme and Silent Coat sound deadening fitted to the roof, seat boxes and bonnet, alongside a Noisekill engine blanket.
• The cabin features a JVC double-DIN head unit with Apple CarPlay, an Alpine cubby box-mounted subwoofer, and upgraded rear speakers. The head unit also incorporates a reversing camera monitor.
• Its original owner’s manuals, service book, jack, locking wheel nuts, spare key and two key fobs will be included, along with a raft of maintenance invoices from the current vendor’s ownership.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Its Stornoway Grey Metallic paintwork is in excellent condition overall, with just a few minor blemishes. Small scuffs can be seen on the sills, along with some light scratches to the bonnet and some bubbling on the nearside rear alpine window seal.
• Its black half-leather upholstery is in good shape, with just a few creases to the seat bolsters, which are commensurate with the mileage.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was on 17 June 2021 at 85,945 miles, which was a pass with one advisory to monitor a stone chip in the nearside of the windscreen, though this has now been replaced.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent service was in June 2021 at 85,898 miles, where technicians at Challenger 4x4 replaced the engine oil, filter, fuel tank breather hose, injector seals, bolts and pump learn, before performing a pilot correction.
• A new windscreen was fitted in June 2021, and a new instrument cluster lens in March 2021.
• In January 2020, new felt was fitted to the rear windows.
• The transfer box intermediate O-ring and drive flanges were replaced in October 2019 at Challenger 4x4, and the air conditioning was re-gassed in August 2019.
• Four new Continental CrossContact tyres have recently been fitted.
