About usIntroduction: The AlpinaThe VehicleAs you will see in the list below, lots of work has been done and even more money has been spend to get this Land Rover in a very good state and working order. It’s originally from Cambridge, UK, where it has been used by a family as their holiday vehicle. It was dry stored and therefore in a really good condition when we bought her as our new project.First we started by stripping her down to bare aluminum. Then it got professionally sprayed in Alpine White, like the Defender NAS. When finished, all the parts where put back in place. As we tried to keep it as original as possible, most parts are the original parts but some of them where necessary to replace for new ones. When the body work was finished, our Land Rover mechanic started working on her. Everything got thoroughly checked, repaired or replaced to make sure the Alpina is completely ready for her new life. Underneath you will find a short list/summary.LIST OF WORK DONE/ NEW PARTS Engine Maintenance Timing belt, water pump and cooling system Engine oil changed New timing belt, tensioner and cover gasket Gearbox oil changed New water pump and gasket Transfer box oil changed Coolant changed Oil filter changed New belts: water pump, alternator, power steering Air intake filter changed New thermostat Valves adjusted New valve handle rubbers Wheel bearings New cover gasket All wheel bearings checked New oil sump gasket New wheel bearing rear-left New oil filter gasket New gaskets Brakes Swivel All brakepipes checked and rust treated New swivel ball left side New brake pads front New swivel hub bearing New brake shoes rear New CV joint New drums rear Brake fluid changed Windscreen New windscreen front New windscreen rubber Drivetrain oils Bumper Gearbox oil changed New front bumper Transfer box oil changed Oil changed front and rear axle A-frame joint Changed grease/ oil swivel housing New joint Front and rear prop shaft filled with grease Rubbers A-frame new The EngineThe 2.5 liter 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine, is one of the best and most reliable engines land rover ever build. They’re made to last forever, are easy to maintain and never let you down. The turbo gives the extra torque you need. A lot of work has been done to make it ready for the next 100k miles. So no maintenance to be expected in the near future. Please promise us to service Aplina on a regular basis, as she will last a lot longer on fresh oil and regular TLC (tender, love and care).The TransmissionShe has a 5 speed manual transmission. Both gearbox and transfer box work excellent. No weird noises, rattles or what so ever. Selecting gears goes smooth as it should. The Defender is permanently in 4 wheel drive. High/low gear and differential lock are present and work perfectly. The gear knob is below and next to the gearbox stick.The BodyThe aluminum body and paintwork are in a very good condition. The recent paintjob makes the vehicle look like new. Of course you can see here and there that it isn’t new, some scratches and age marks. Also on some spots the combination of steel on the inside and thin aluminum on the outside causes some small marks. But for a 26 year old vehicle, it is really beautiful! The bulkhead and foot wells are clean and rust free. The doors are totally straight and have rust free bottoms, which is pretty unique. The windows work as they should, the same goes for all the locks. Please take care of the door hinges, they tend to rust if not regularly looked after. The Defender has a tow bar with electrics. Also an air intake snorkel is mounted if you need to go through deep water.The ChassisThe complete chassis is in perfect condition. It is hard and strong as to expect from this Defender. It has been coated with a special impregnation substance that prevents rust and keeps it strong. This was done every two years by the previous owner. Worth mentioning is that the steering guard bar has a small dent, which hasn't effect on the function. The chassis number or VIN is clearly visible. US vin decoders won't recognize this vin because it's a European vin.The VIN is:SALLDHMB7EA329668 SAL Manufacturer code: Land Rover LD Model: Defender (for early models: Ninety, or One Ten) H Wheel base: 110 inch M Body type: 4 door Station wagon B Engine type: 2.5 liter turbo diesel (model 19J) 7 Steering and transmission: Right-hand drive (RHD), 5-speed manual E Model year: 1988 A Assembly location: Solihull, UK 329668 Serial number The InteriorThe inside of the vehicle is clean, tidy and original.
