Iceland is a young country in the midst of its own creation. Our beautiful, bare landscapes highlight the four basic elements—earth, air, fire, and water—in a most dramatic way. Our active volcanoes, bright green valleys, glacier-cut fjords, black sand beaches, and roaring rivers are so accessible yet remain virtually untouched by human civilization. In this fast-paced world of sprawling development, Iceland's pure nature and empty expanses stand out as a luxury. Car Rental Iceland can help you to discover the island. Our namesake “ice” covers over 10% of the land and represents the largest glaciers left in Europe. It represents the source of our pure water and symbolizes the purity of all Icelandic products. Indeed, nature is our brand and Iceland is dedicated to preserving this natural wealth through responsible conservation. The history of Land Rover Defender 110 The Land Rover Defender is a British four-wheel-drive off-road utility vehicle developed from the original Land Rover Series launched in 1948. The biggest change to the Land Rover came in late 1990, when it became the Land Rover Defender, with the new engine, the 200Tdi as it was called produced 107 hp (80 kW) This engine allowed the Defender to cruise comfortably at high speeds, as well as tow heavy loads speedily on hills while still being economical. 1994 saw another development of the Tdi engine, the 300Tdi. Although the 200Tdi had been a big step forward, it had been essentially a reworking of the old turbocharged diesel to accept a direct injection system. In contrast the 300Tdi was virtually new, despite the same capacity; the Defender had engines in the same state of tune, 111 hp (83 kW). 4WD Land Rover - The new model Defender 110 To rent a 4X4 car in Iceland you can look for Car Rental Iceland but be sure to use www.ice-rovers.com to get the new Land Rover Defender. From spring 2007 a series of changes were made to the Defender, most of which were implemented to meet emissions and safety legislation. The biggest change was to the drive train. The Td5 engine was replaced by an engine from Ford's DuraTorq. The engine's lubrication and sealing system has been adapted for use in wet, dusty conditions and to maintain lubrication at extreme angles in off-road use. The power level remains the same at 122 hp (91 kW), but with a lower power peak speed for towing and better acceleration. The engine is mated to a new six-speed gearbox. First gear is lower than the previous gearbox for better low-speed control, whilst the higher 6th gear is intended to reduce noise and fuel consumption at high speeds. The other major changes were to the interior. The dashboard layout of the original One Ten from 1983 (which was in turn very similar to that used on the Series III from 1971) was replaced with a full-width fascia and different instrumentation. A new heater/ventilation system improved de-misting and heater performance.
