Year: 2004 Make: Land Rover Model: Defender 90 XS Registration: AV54 EXL Chassis No: SALLDVB574A686892 Engine No: 15P01043B Odometer: 21,800 The Land Rover Defender TD5 is a rugged, no-nonsense workhorse built for durability and off-road performance.

Powered by the reliable 2.5 litre five-cylinder TD5 turbo diesel engine, it delivered 127hp and strong low-end torque, ideal for towing and traversing tough terrain.

With its solid axles, ladder-frame chassis, and permanent four-wheel drive, the TD5 Pick-up thrived in agricultural, military, and expedition roles.

The minimalist interior emphasised function over comfort, reflecting its utilitarian roots.

As one of the final years before the shift to the Puma engine, the 2004 TD5 90 XS holds strong appeal among Land Rover purists and overland enthusiasts.

Revered amongst enthusiasts because of its five-cylinder turbo-charged TD5 engine, six seats and high specification, these are the Defenders to own and enjoy.
