The latest thing I got from Land Rover says there is NO PLAN to bring the current model Defender to the US market. The Defender needs a complete redesign before it will be available in the US. I guess that it would go on the T5 platform like the LR3 and Range Rover Sport but I am not sure.

Middle seats with head rest defender 110? by frauh

I drive a defender 110. I haul around three boys and currently have them in car seats. Is it possible to buy headrests or a new set of seats with head restraints for a 1999 defender? I have seen the new 2007 with a middle row of seats that have head rests. Is it possible to buy just the seats and install them?

Land Rover D90 Mods? by thepeeg
Mar 26, 2008 (10:01 pm)

Hey There,
I'm new to forums so I'm not to sure how they work.
 
I just bought a 94 D90 and love it but could use a little more power.
Does anyone make bolt on power mods i.e. - headers/cold air intakes/throttle body spacers/superchargers/etc.
I'm also looking for a surrey top, winch, and Emu springs.
Also can you fit 15" wheels on the D90 - 33/12.50 r15 tires are the best all around off/on road tires I've used because of the soft side wall for grip when you air-down and on-road ride quality.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx,
JP Simons

Welcome, looks like you've figured it out fine!

Amazingly, I recently asked Land Rover the same question about the Defender (less than 3 weeks ago) and their response was verbatim to the one in Post #73.
 
Sucks, seeing how bad I want to buy one. The used Defenders out there are waaay to expensive for the mileage and wear they have on them. If I bought an '07 right from the Solihull Factory I could get it for about $30-40k, but then I'd have to get it to meet emissions and US safety standards. Used ones typically list about that same price and are 10+ years older.

Reintroduction of Defender into North America by sixthflick

Hey Gang- I just received a personal email response back from Gary Temple this morning (Mr. Temple is President of Jaguar Land Rover North America) and here are his words (or perhaps those of his secretary) in regards to a reintroduction of the Defender:
 
Mr. Flickenschild, thank you for the note. I wish you happy motoring with your Land Rover and thank you for being an enthusiast and loyal customer for the Land Rover brand. We all would like to see the Defender return in our model line up for the North America market and will continue to look at our options with that model and viability for the NA market.
  
Gary L. Temple
President
Jaguar Land Rover North America

 
That being said, it appears that the return of the Defender is still plausible and not out of the minds of the "gate keepers" here in North America. I'd rather spend $30-40k on a new Defender with low mileage and no rust rather than forking over the same or more for someone else's rusty high mileage Defender which we still all love and admire.

Do a google sear h for exmoor. They make good replacement seats for Land Rovers, including ones with headrests.

A little late in the reply so I'm sure you know by now that there's tons of things you can do to the aluminium small block rover v8. Originally it was sourced from Buick in the late 60's for the range rover project, but British motorists have been using that block to crank out some very impressive HP to British race cars for decades.

Hey can you forward me Gary Temple's email/contact info? I was about to drop a letter in the mail but it's always better to cover all grounds.
