Cunuckgaucho Posted September 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 More pics So the details 2006 Land Rover Defender 90, believe it or not it's classed as the station wagon model because of the seat configuration. 5 cyl turbo diesel, 5 speed hi/lo trandsfer case and locking diff. Started life in Bulgaria,hence the licence plate. Imported into Canada just over a year ago. All with the exception of the tires( brand new) just like it left the factory. Now for the amazing bit... drumroll........ That gentleman is the milage in kilometers so to translate that is just a hair over 31,068 miles. I had a full inspection done by Land Rover specialist to confirm milage and condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DayWalker Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 That’s a sweet Land Rover, seems like you got a deal there. I’ve always liked the more military style Land Rovers, as opposed to the silly $100k+ soccer mom models. Seems like crazy low milage for the age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like crazy low milage for the age I couldn't belive the milage till I saw it in person,seats have no wear. Even then I had the Rover shop go over it but more to make sure that things like seals,gaskets hadn't rotted or failed. Also wanted the brke lines checked, rubber hoses etc. Plus getting it up on the hoist to look at the underside. 9 hours ago, Armed Eye Doc said: That is an awesome Rover! Will we see it in the fall? Of course, how I justified buying it was it gets almost twice the fuel milage my gas powered LR Discovery gets. The secret to justifying these type of costs is to use the same economic logic the government uses when spending taxpayer money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunuckgaucho Posted September 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 So I found this switch, located in the centre dash console area. Any guesses? In the end I had to googgle and look at the owner's manual. It would have come in handy on the Fall trip down and back home when Roman,Mike and mysef made the trip.

Rsquared Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Looks like it's adjusting (something) from front to back. Brakes? Torque? Fuking Icons. Why can't they just print what it is above it? Great vehicle find though Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some kind of headlight shiit, varying power... You go from zero to three... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunuckgaucho Posted September 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 It's for the headlights but not the intensity. It's to adjust the head lights as you load up the vehicle to stop the lights from blinding oncoming cars when you're heavy in the back end. From the manual- The following load conditions should be used as a guide. Position ’0’: Driver only, or driver and all front seats occupied (loadspace empty). Position ’1’: All seats occupied (loadspace empty). Position ’2’: All seats occupied by adults and loadspace loaded to maximum rear axle weight. Position ’3’: Driver only with the loadspace loaded to maximum rear axle weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can always tell when I’ve bumped the switch or I’m hauling because I’ll get thevhigh beat flash from numerous people especially since I’ve switched to LED, it’s a pretty cool feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 I really could have used that! I must have been high beam flashed 50 times with that load!! I've dropped the lights down as far as they will go since the trip. I like the air bag idea to whoever said that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
