Heavens forbid.this is an accident waiting to happen! That or your arms will ache from stretching them..

sultaan:
My new ride

I follow through where I put my mouth

That dash looks like a dodge..what is it?

Siena does have a point, Nigerians love cutting corners especially when they feel they can get away with it. That said, not all Nigerians do!
The land rover defender is one of the most amazing off road vehicles ever built, along with the pre-2006 toyota land cruiser, jeep wrangler, and the king of off roaders the hummer h1. Diesel engine vehicles are the way to go with off road vehicles for obvious reasons. If you are concerned with fuel economy please buy a toyota but if you want to have fun look to these cars mentioned above. There are other offroaders but i choose to mention the ones i like best, my opinion!
Good morning guys

Siena:
[color=Blue]I was waiting for you, Ivory, at the mention of Landrover Defender, you'd be here like a shot, like a shark tasking blood in the ocean 8 kilometres away.

How is life treating you?[/color]

Great my brother. How is the family doing?

BUY IT! If he has a second one please let me know via private message. Good one

Any body with any info as to what i should look out for will be highly appreciated, I am a kazeem to Deisel engines but I wan to take the risk with very little help by kazeems out there, pls oh I aint a mech but I want to try my hands on this

Hello guys, with all the diesel issues in Nigeria i am thinking of buying some good diesel treatment for my Landy. What do you guys think?

Hello, we have need of a professional nurse to take care of an elderly man who has been bed-ridden for a couple of years. He is being relocated to Lekki, Lagos in a few weeks. The job comes with accommodation and the nurse will have paid leave (but may have to arrange for a temporary replacement). If interested send your c.v to princesslovesj@gmail.com

call this number: 08033728420, Mr Uzoma

dumo1:
A really nice looking TDI Defender. Mehn! those tires can go anywhere especially those Ogun state roads. I see a Jeep Commander in the background. How do you source for the parts and also keep it from the hands of Kazeems?

Thanks. I get most of the parts for the commander online and Sooper Rescue is my goto guy for servicing et al. I am getting set for DIY maintenance of most of my cars, at least oil change and basic maintenance.

DaimlerBen:
So, if worst comes to shove, park under the tree or park in the sun?
I thought parking in the sun damages both your exterior & interior.
Aren't there safe species we can manage?

Park it under your bed, sounds like the safest bed. Make sure your a.c is blowing to keep it comfortable

Costee:
I'm not aware of a "C" load/speed symbol. There are (from lowest to highest): Q, R, S, T, U, H, V, W, Y, Z.

I want to order this spec for my land rover defender 90 [265/75/16 B F Goodrich T/A KM2 Mud Terrain 119/116Q] but a friend says it wont be safe for Nigeria. What rating (Q, R, S, T, U, H, V, W, Y, Z) is best for Nigeria?

chiefbidemi:
I think Germany will be better. UK range rovers are right hand drive. Is there any mechanic in Nigeria to convert a 2014 Range without issues?

Conversion!lol!only land rover can do that..God forbid!
France drives leftr hand drive and their cars come into England but the Gremany and U.A will do. The things are even costly in England@between 56-68kpounds!

chiefbidemi:
Have you had practical experience with the diesel range rover? Maybe you used it or know someone who uses it? I asked because, based on price, I prefer the diesel.

I run a defender 200tdi and its rock solid. The def isnt expensive and you can have it in any quantity you want. It isnt produced here but that it exists is very good news. If you want,you order it so its on ground by the time your range rover gets here.
I will also advise you buy the range from the UK, you wont spend anything near the cost of buying it in the U.S

Prior to its introduction in the US, improvements have been made to the Td6 helping to achieve an additional eight percent increase in overall fuel efficiency. These include the addition of a water-cooled turbocharger for maximum performance and durability at high operating temperatures; and new ball bearings, vanes and nozzles to improve efficiency.

A Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system uses Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to reduce NOx emissions, ensuring the Td6 achieves US LEV 3 status. The DEF is injected into the exhaust and, as the resulting mixture passes through the SCR, NOx is turned into harmless nitrogen gas.

Diesel exhaust fluid is commercially available and owners can top the fluid level up themselves or take it to their nearest Land Rover retailer if the reservoir needs replenishing.

In addition to the cleansing efficiency of the SCR, every aspect of the Td6 engine has been optimized to ensure emissions are as low as possible. This includes the new Low Pressure EGR system which has been critical to the success of Td6 emission ratings and further improves fuel economy.

Unlike traditional High Pressure EGR systems, which recirculate gases directly from the exhaust manifold to inlet manifold at high pressure, the revised design takes gases at low pressure - after the DPF filter in the exhaust pipe - and feeds them back to the turbocharger inlet. From here they pass through an intercooler, resulting in a lower peak combustion temperature.

The higher the peak combustion temperature, the more NOx is produced, so the low pressure EGR system has the effect of reducing the level of NOx produced, by lowering the peak combustion temperature and improving efficiency.

Elsewhere, a two-stage oil pump reduces engine losses while a revised design for the fuel-injectors has been introduced to improve efficiency and reduce hydrocarbon emissions. The injection cycle also employs an innovative two-stage process to eliminate the traditional ‘knock’ associated with diesel engines.

Attention to detail ensures diesel derivatives deliver traditional Range Rover refinement. Innovative dual-isolation engine mounts, as well as windshields featuring acoustic laminate, help reduce noise levels. Refinement on Range Rover models is further enhanced by the design of the bulkhead between the engine and vehicle interior, which minimizes the transmission of engine noise into the cabin.

The fuel filler neck on diesel Land Rover vehicles is fitted with a misfueling protection device. This device is designed to prevent the narrower gasoline fuel nozzle fitted to gasoline pumps from being inserted into the filler neck on the diesel vehicle, reducing the likelihood of adding the wrong fuel.

Tested and Proven in the USA

Land Rover engineers embarked on US testing schedule to ensure the new diesel engine could handle all US climate and terrain conditions. By the time US sales have begun, the test fleet will have completed one million test miles.

The test fleet has targeted the most extreme climates and diverse terrains imaginable across the US. The new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport diesel have navigated from sea level to altitudes of 14,000 feet during the grueling test program. To meet the unique demands of the North American climate, engineers have undertaken testing year round, from the coldest winter days in Minnesota, to summertime in the deserts of the Southwest.

Haha, a bicycle with motor drive can never take the place of a power bike no matter how much you love-vendor it... !
Range Rover and Escalade are on two different planets..

The diesel exhaust fluid is available in Nigeria, though you may have to wait three weeks if its out of stock. The diesel range rover may make more sense..

sultaan:
To throw some sand in this sweet discussion poster can also take a look at the Cadillac Escalade for less than the price of Range Rover and those parts cost a lot less even when shipped into the country.You Lade won't look inferior even when parked next to a Range Rover.

Just my 2cent

What do you think about the diesel model?
What do you think about the petrol model?
Which model is recommended? The diesel or petrol? Why?
Are the parts available in Nigeria now?
Which year can I easily get parts for?
What does it cost for simple parts like bumper, head lights, side mirrors, tail lights? You know other Nigerian drivers can hit you anytime, hahaha.
I travel a lot. Lagos to Abuja by road. Can this car do Lagos to Abuja weekly?
Is any model year problematic? Which year?
Thanks and thanks
I will advise you go to the thread but i have a few things to say..
The diesel engine range rover is fantastic but the parts will be harder to get and you will need to treat the diesel(and petrol too!) at every top-up so the poor quality will not cause problems. The petrol moves faster but the diesel engine will last longer provided you take really good care of it. Diesel engine vogues will cost less to maintain. Please go online and verify some of these facts
The parts are available in Nigeria and its possible to get any of the parts online at same cost or even cheaper than parts sourced locally
You may have to go to the market to check the prices for the parts mentioned..lol! You will get them at Ladipo
This car can do Abuja - Lagos-Accra daily
All cars have their issues, some people say they prefer the 2006 vogue(they say its easier to maintain) but i beg to defer. How a car runs depends on the maintenance culture of the owner.
I wish you the best, go ahead and buy this car. You will not regret it. You may call Sooper rescue 08098534267
Do have a wonderful week

Do we need a legislation to enforce seatbelts? We dont have to wait for the government to have family and friends we give rides in our cars strap on seat belts to stay safe do we?

Land rover is king, no one will take a lion for a goat no matter how dumb or ignorant he is. Highlander jeep.
I went to renew my vehicle documents and the lady was arguing with me with regards to the brand of suv i drive..smh, she wanted to rename my jeep commander to a toyota something...

Siena:
[color=Blue]Some more teasers - note the bumper was just refitted for the picture, it's coming off again to finish a few bits and pieces. The radiator and aircon condenser are also temporarily fitted, they are coming off to enable the twin inner fans to be fitted. The third one will be fitted to the outside.[/color]

Exciting project Sienna, keep up the good work

Where do you reside? If you live in Lagos, go to Ladipo or Ojuelegba spare parts market and buy it. I am sure it is readily available

BluStreak:
He bough it in 2012 and it wasnt an everyday drive according to him and the ride is in an almost new condition. Its a 4.0 V 6 Engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission, I drove it and the movement is awesome. I want to also mention that I am very glad its a V6 engine instead of a V8 like the Toyota GX470 which is another SUV I am crazy about.

So guys abeg una o, I wan know more about this ride. Make una helepie meeee o.

Well the v8 is it! The v6 may struggle a bit to move the heavy car. The Lr3 is fantastic and the parts are not that expensive. Sooper Rescue is the man to see for your repairs. He may even come check the car for you if you ask nicely..

kingreign:
I have.

I feel it looks cooler than the avalon. the avalon is long but really beautiful though its my friends call eventually. thanks

kingreign:
I'd go Avalon cos I'm more inclined to luxury cars

Have you seen the 2015 toyota camry xle?

kingreign:
A CAMRY sells faster.

Ok. if you got a 2015 camry xle and 2015 avalon xle touring at the same price, which would you buy? The cars are clean title with manufacturers waranty

Hello all, i have a question. Which of this two will sell faster; 2015 toyota avalon or 2015 toyota camry xle? A friend wants to buy his first sedan and wants a car he can easily sell when he gets tired of it.

@Op go to these links and check the cars being advertised on ebay.com.

They will sell you a salvage used in Nigeria Rav 4, which may even be stolen or you get nothing after paying as the toyota rav 4 is still americas highest selling vehicle or among the top10 highest selling vehicles. Tread with caution.
Happy New Year people

Good one Sienna, you are an inspiration to most of us. Keep up the good works up!
