Wheelbase 90: Approx. 90 inches Wheelbase 110: Approx. 110 inches Weights Curb Weight: Varies by model and body style, typically 3500-4500 lbs (1600-2050 kg). 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Safety: Limited modern crash testing data available for this era; focus on robustness and occupant protection within its utilitarian design. Active Features Braking: Four-wheel disc brakes. ABS available on some models/markets. Passive Features Occupant Protection: Roll-over protection (inherent in the robust chassis/body), seat belts. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Audio System: Basic AM/FM radio, often with cassette player. Aftermarket upgrades common. Driver Assistance Cruise Control: Not typically fitted as standard in 1995, optional on some higher trim levels or markets. Connectivity Auxiliary Input: Not standard. Primarily relies on radio/cassette. Aftermarket solutions for USB/Bluetooth are common. Heating Ventilation HVAC System: Basic heating and ventilation system. Air conditioning was a rare option. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Diesel: Typically 3,000-6,000 miles or 6-12 months, depending on operating conditions (refer to manual for precise 300Tdi schedule). Air Filter Replacement: Inspect every 6,000 miles, replace as needed or at longer intervals as per manual. Fuel Filter Replacement: Typically every 12,000-24,000 miles or annually for diesel. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil: Likely specification: API CD/CE or CF, SAE 15W-40 (diesel specific, refer to manual for exact 300Tdi recommendation). Coolant: Ethylene Glycol based anti-freeze, typically 50/50 mix with de-ionized water. Specific Land Rover specification may apply. Brake Fluid: DOT 4 Known Issues Chassis Corrosion: Significant issue on all Defenders, especially older ones. Regular inspection and rust prevention are critical. Gearbox Wear: LT77 and R380 gearboxes can develop synchro wear or bearing issues with high mileage. Clutch and transfer case components also require attention. 300Tdi Engine Maintenance: Timing belt replacement is crucial (refer to manual for interval). Injector pump seals can leak.
