the nodes that foowed.
The Fange Fover (l9/0), Dscovery (l989), Freeander

snce the turn of the century have cenented the narque's
pace n autonotve hstory... and nade a handsone return on

"Ford probaby regrets seng JLF. l
thnk ths was the rght decson at the

Mr Vokaerts has overseen

wth neary 2000 new |obs created

8ohu Chanber of Connerce, he
added: "Havng been through the
recesson, you cone out of t so nuch
stronger. Had we not been through the
recesson, l do not thnk that we woud
be as strong as we are today.
"We dd sone very panfu thngs
but we aso retaned a ot of peope
when a ot of conpanes woud have
et then go - we had to be abe to ht
the ground runnng when condtons
took off agan. There were 28,000
appcatons for l000 |obs ast year,
when we put the pant on three shfts,
whch was trenendous," he sad.
"But the autonotve ndustry s
horrby tough and you are ony as
good as the ast car you have but. You
have to keep nvestng n the future -
we are nakng trenendous profts at

Beceiving your new

evokes the feel of a

THE FlRST CUSTOMER handover of what
Land Fover s cang the ANew Fange
Fover, known to enthusasts as the 4th
Oeneraton or L405 node, took pace
recenty at the conpany's brand new
stateoftheart vstor centre besde the
gateway to the hstorc 8ohu factory.
Beeved to offer an experence unque n
the nass vehce nanufacturng sector,
and on a par wth the servce offered by
sone nche narket supercar buders,
the facty has, to quote the FF nachne,
"been deveoped to offer custoners the
opportunty to undergo a hghquaty
bespoke nutneda experence as part
of recevng ther new Fange Fover drect
fron the factory n a dedcated budng
that evokes the ook and fee of a hgh
quaty boutque hote".
On the day, LRM was nvted aong to
share the experence wth entrepreneur
Denys 8hortt OBE and hs wfe Debbe
as they coected the keys to ther 'hs
and hers' Fange Fovers - a 4.4 tre V8
dese wth executve busness consoe
n the rear for busness use and a 3.0
tre V6 dese for the fany - foowng
a 3D pro|ecton 'revea' n the dedcated
nutneda theatre at the heart of the
new ovashaped andnark budng. ln
addton to the dranatc unveng of
ther personased vehces, the coupe
were aso entertaned to a cnenatc
presentaton about how the atest Fange
Fover node evoved and gven the opton
of both a factory tour and a drve
around the egendary Junge Track
where nany a new node has been
tested over the past 65 years.
Denys and Debbe are no strangers
to Land Fovers - and ndeed, had ther
honeynoon not got n the way, Denys
nght we have been on the l990 Cane
Trophy n 8bera, the frst event whch
ncuded the thennew Dscovery, as
he was one of the fna canddates. To
conpensate a tte, he runs one of the
recce vehces used for the canceed
O4 Chaenge to Mongoa, and the
coupe own a nxed green ova feet
enconpassng everythng fron a '49
8eres One through to Defenders used
as workng vehces on ther farn n the
Cotswods where they have rased a
herd of Beted Oaoway catte.
When Denys, a Land Fover enthusast
for a quarter of a century, started hs
busness n l994 he set hs frst goa
as ownng a Fange Fover. Today that
heath and beauty busness enpoys
around a hundred peope, and hs new
conpany Fange Fover w be used as
a nobe offce by ts four drectors as
they py back and forth between the West
Mdands and London. As Denys - who s
heavy nvoved n Warwckshre Fegona
Deveopnent - tod LRM that he regards
Land Fover as hs nentor n budng a
connercay successfu conpany, there
can be few nore apt frst custoners for
the new handover facty.
Land Fover s qute keen not to run
the show for future custoners, and so
asked us not to pubsh photographs of
the rather dranatc conputergenerated
effects con|ured up n the darkened
handover area, so we are keepng these
up our seeve for the nonent. After a,
f you are payng \l200 for your speca
nonent you don't reay want to see t
n great deta beforehand, as that woud
run what even a hardened od Land
Fover scrbber ke Yours Truy was
pretty npressed by.

8TAR LETTER PRI2E
l'n an expat vng n Tasnana,
Austraa, and an avd reader
of your nagazne. l especay
en|oy artces about 8eres Land
Fovers. These eary vehces
have been a passon of nne for
as ong as l care to renenber.
ln eary 2008, l was ucky
enough to becone the proud
owner of a perfecty orgna
l9/l 88nch 8eres llA. lts
orgna and netcuousy
nantaned condton was a
credt to the prevous owners
and nspred ne to research ts
hstory. lt cane conpete wth
the orgna owner's nstructon
nanua, encased n a perfecty
preserved cardboard cover, and
purchase recept, whch nade
ny |ourney of dscovery easer.
The vehce had been
purchased new fron Mtche
Motors, a Land Fover deaer
n Launceston, Tasnana, for
AusS344l.35. lt was bought
by a nnng conpany n the
Hghands of Tasnana, but a
rapd decne n ths ndustry
neant ts servces were no
onger requred. Thus, |ust
before Chrstnas l9/l, t was
bought by Desnond Fchnond,
who ved n the sna country
town of Deorane.
lt was Mr Fchnond's day
transport to and fron hs |ob at
the oca hydro authorty as we
as the soe forn of transport for
hs young fany n ther rura
connunty. Mr Fchnond took
great care of ths Land Fover
and t stayed wth hn for over
30 years.
ln 2002 t found ts way to a
retred gentenan n Launceston
and for the next sx years
renaned n dry storage n a
farn shed.
Then ln 2008 l receved a
phone ca fron a nutua Land
Fover enthusast teng ne that
a perfect exanpe of a ocay
owned 8eres llA was for sae. l
needed no nore encouragenent
and l was soon behnd the whee
and drvng ny Land Fover back
to ts new hone.
8nce then l have ceaned
and repanted the chasss and
overhaued the axes and brakes.
l have had the orgna radator
recored, and purchased a hard
cover to repace the orgna
canvas. The seats have been
refoaned and covered n back
vny, whch has gven the
nteror a new ease of fe.
Last year l nanaged to nake
contact wth Mr Fchnond and
spend sone tne wth hn.
He tod ne nunerous stores
about hs tne wth ny Land
Fover and sone anazng feats
of drvng and paces he went.
Hs stores further added to the
sense of persona hstory that
cane wth the vehce.
My own ove for Land Fovers
started n the ate l960s n
Fonford, Essex, when l woud
trave wth ny grandfather n
an od 8eres l. Forty years on,
l an a brckayer vng on the
other sde of the word and use
ny own 8eres llA every day
on a 60 kn round trp to and
fron work. The vehce s aways
aden wth toos and has never
nssed a beat snce the day l
bought t.
l an extreney gratefu to
Mr Fchnond as t s thanks to
hs care durng hs perod of
ownershp that l an the owner
of such a fne Land Fover.
lt s a renarkabe
achevenent to retrace the
hstory of any oder Land Fover
but to be fortunate enough to
spend tne wth the frst owner
and together take t for a drve
s sonethng not nany peope
can share. Mr Fchnond tod ne
that he wshed he'd never et ny
Land Fover go. l, on the other
hand, an very gad he dd.

Over here n the U8A there was great re|ocng
when the news of the death of the DCl00 was
broke. But then |Land Fover desgn drector| Oerry
McOovern sad that the new Defender w ook
nothng ke the od Defender.
lf VW can nake the new Beetes ook ke the od
Beetes... f BMW can nake a new Mn that ooks
snar to the od Mn (but nuch arger)... f Jeep
can contnue to nake Wrangers that ook snar
to the Wy's Jeeps... then why can't Land Fover
nake a new Defender ook snar to a Defender?
Yes, new reguatons nake a Meccano set of
bukhead boted to adder chasss (wth other bts
and bobs strapped on) no onger vabe. But why
can't Land Fover nake a nonocoque structure for
the engne bay and front seat area wth varabe
whee bases and then bot on a second structure
to nake up a of the varatons? To ths structure,
fanarshaped body panes coud be attached.
As for the narketsze, McOovern nentons
wordwde saes of l2,000 Defenders. ln 20l2,
Chryser sod l8,996 Jeep Wrangers nto Canada
and l4l,669 n the U8. Meanwhe, Land Fover
abandoned the U8 narket for Defenders l5 years
agol The nunbers show a vast, untapped narket.
lt s a faure of nagnaton for McOovern's tean.

The revolutionary ODYSSEY EXTREME
battery is designed to provide enormous
cranking power plus deep cycle reserve
power by using 99.99% pure lead,
compression packed plates. Pure lead
plates can be made thinner, so we can
fit more of them into the battery.
More ODYSSEY battery plates mean more plate
surface area...
....aad that meaas more oWerl
And they can handle 400 charge/discharge cycles to 80% depth of
discharge. This extreme combination of power and performance makes
ODYSSEY batteries perfect for very heavy duty applications.

LANDR0VER

I
t`s 68 years this month since the very first
Land Rover was launched at the Amsterdam
Motor Show. It wasn`t an easy birth, but the
newcomer soon grewinto a healthy profit-
maker for the Rover car company.
Alot has happened since, including several
changes of ownership. After all, 68 years is a long
time. It`s the age at which most people retire.
But Land Rover celebrates its 68th birthday
this month happy in the knowledge that it has
never been in a stronger position, with a best-
selling range of models and record profits.
But it hasn`t always been so. There have been
a lot of ups and downs in the roller-coaster ride
that has been the history of Land Rover, so far.
So hold on tight as we start at the very
beginning.

MAWHEYE PMC
OIAGMOSTIC TOOL FOF TME WOFKSMOP
OF NOEILE TECMMICIAM
CCOEEMEAHEM
Using Hawkeye or Hawkeye Pro to
fnd the coded fault on your vehicle,
then easily translate that code with
this invaluable codebreaker manual
MAWHEYE
OIAGMOSTIC TOOL FOF
TME MONE NECMAMIC
The HawkEye Pro diagnostic tool is extremely robust
and comes with its own storage case. lt is very easy
to use and is powered directly from the vehicle.
Fully unlocked for ALL Land Rover vehicles* the unit
comes complete with one cable that will suit all the
vehicles manufactured after 2001 - No dongles required.
*Except Evoque - Coming Soon.
The added bonus is that this unit can be upgraded
to include 29 vehicle manufacturer diagnostics.
At Bearmach we sincerely believe the HawkEye is every
bit as useful as carrying a spare tyre with you. lt's compact
enough to carry in the glove-box at all times particularly if
you're on a long holiday journey or off-road adventure.
Modern vehicles have advanced engine management systems
and hi-tech developments in suspension and braking systems
- and so there's a host of problems that can only be properly
identifed using expensive equipment at the main dealers.
HawkEye is an inexpensive solution that gives the home
mechanic or small independent garage the ability to diagnose
most common faults. Once the fault is repaired, Hawkeye
can be used to verify the work and clear the fault codes.

CANNCCK CHASE originaIed as
a Poyal HunIing Lodge in Norman
Times, buI iI was noI unIil Ihe early
20Ih CenIury, as land was passed
Io Ihe governmenI in lieu of deaIh
duIies, IhaI iI began Io become a
resource for Ihe naIion. The ForesIry
Commission was seI up Io manage
IhaI |ob.
Covering 26 square miles, Ihe
Chase was used in during Ihe FirsI
World War as a Iraining ground.
There are remnanIs of Irenches sIill
doIIed abouI. Around IhaI Iime,
iI was realised IhaI Ihe naIional
sIock of wood was down Io around
hve per cenI, so Ihe hrsI planIings
began. AI IhaI Iime, wood was
a viIal war maIerial. Thankfully
IhaI's no longer Ihe case and Ioday
mosI harvesIed Iimber goes Io Ihe
building Irade.
In I958, Cannock Chase was
designaIed an Area of CuIsIanding
BeauIy, and laIer a SiIe of Special
ScienIihc InIeresI (SSSI).
Today, Ihe Chase is a hive of
leisure acIiviIy. Walking Irails,
mounIain bike rouIes, rope courses
and even husky Iraining add up Io
2.4 million visiIors a year Io Ihe
Birches Valley visiIor cenIre, |usI

Group (Heavy), which arrived in whaI was Ihen parI
of HunIingdonshire in January I944.
Flying BI7 Flying ForIresses, Ihe airmen aI hrsI
concenIraIed on dangerous daylighI bombing raids
over Germany, aimed aI shaIIering HiIler's aircrafI
and ball bearing indusIries.
By June, Ihey had swiIched Iheir aIIenIions Io
IargeIs in France in preparaIion for Ihe Normandy
invasion and aIIacked coasIal defences near
Cherbourg on D-day.
The 457Ih conIinued bombing raids on German
IargeIs Ihrough Io Ihe end of Ihe war in I945,
including Ihe BaIIle of Ihe Bulge from December
I944 Io |anuary I945.
AfIer Ihe war, Ihe PAF Bomber Command was
sIaIioned aI GlaIIon, hying LancasIers, unIil Ihe
base's miliIary operaIions ceased in I948. Much of
Ihe base was reIurned Io agriculIure and many of
Ihe buildings demolished, alIhough Iwo runways
were reIained for Ihe civilian airporI.

n the prevous epsode,
Brtpart's export nanager
and around Land Fover
expert, Adran Longstaff,
and Lndsay Forter
teaned up to show the
renova and the frst stages nvoved n
strppng a 8eres lll gearbox.
Ths tne around, the dynanc duo
renove the nnards, and put then back
n agan wth new Brtpart parts,
where requred.
ln bref (t's covered n nore deta
esewhere n these artces), to detach
the nan gearbox casng you need to:
l. Fenove the transnsson brake and then
the transfer box.
2. Fenove the nan gear change ever and
the cutch nechansn.
3. Fenove the be housng.
4. Fenove the seector shafts, the ayshaft
and the nanshaft.
5. The gearbox nan casng can now
be dsnanted.
I
BACKGROUND: 8eres lll gearboxes have
the suffxes A, B, C or D. Dfferences are
generay nnor, athough you nust order
the correct parts for the type of gearbox.
When the Bsuffx gearbox was ntroduced,
the transfer case nternedate gear shaft
daneter was ncreased for addtona
strength. When the Csuffx box was
ntroduced, gearbox ratos and transfer
case ow gear rato were changed.
Athough top covers shoud never be
swapped between gearboxes, because
they are nachned wth ther cases, t's not
unknown for covers to be swapped around
by the unntated. lf, by a fuke, the seectors
st work propery, t's |ust possbe to
nsdentfy a gearbox fron ts suffx.
lncdentay, when Land Fover fnay
decded that the 8eres llltype gearbox
was up to ts power nt, t deveoped the
LT95 for the Fange Fover, etc. Because Land
Fover was then part of Brtsh Leyand, the
LT stands for Leyand Transnssons whe
95 stands for the dstance n nn between
the nan and ayshafts.

was cear...
3
...he nade use hs trusty softneta

the carrer, eveny spreadng the bows.
4
Towards the end of the process, Adran
hed hs hand nsde the gearbox
casng to support and catch the bearng
carrer as t cane free fron the gearbox.

Next, usng nterna crcp pers,
he renoved the crcp, extracted the

Wth gearbox turned over once agan

Mnor progress had been nade
towards reassenby by fttng the new
nanshaft bearng, but the gearbox casng
coud fary be descrbed as fuy strpped.
10
The gearbox casng was twred once
nore and Adran used the two access
hoes (arrowed) n the casng to drft out the
outer bearng race of the ayshaft.
13
8o, Adran nserted the new ayshaft
outer bearng race (nner race was
assenbed ater) and drfted t nto poston
before assenbng the rest of the bearng.
14
Next up, Adran nstaed the reverse
gear shaft nto the end of the gearbox
casng, the gear tsef havng been rested n
poston ready and watng.
15
.so that as the shaft was nstaed, he
coud sde the gear nto poston and
aong the reverse gear shaft. Note that on
the outer end of the reverse gear shaft...
16
...there s a peg whch nust be ocated
n a sot n the gearbox casng so that
the shaft tsef cannot turn when the reverse
gear s rotatng.
18
The bronze dstance seeve s a pushft
nto the nanshaft. These are the thrust
washer and the trcky sprung retaner rng,
ftted once secondthrd gears are n pace.
19
Use a par of narrow screwdrvers,
down the spnes, to ntroduce the
rng nto poston. Use three of then to
open up the sprng when renovng.
20
Here's where that trcky cp can be
found once ftted. Fefttng t, Adran
s pushng down hard wth a screwdrver
to nake sure t's ocated n ts groove.
21
Here are the new and od frstsecond

the detent bocks, sprngs and bas have

23
.beng added n ther correct order,
sdng then onto the back part of the
nanshaft, to whch the second and thrd
gears have aready been ftted.
24
Here, the assenbed nanshaft and
gears are sd nto the gearbox casng.
Adran has tenporary popped the casng
back onto the transfer box.
25
Vewed fron the hoe n the top of the
casng, Adran can be seen hodng the
gears on the shaft as t s nserted nto ts
bearng at the back of the housng.
26
Bear n nnd that the ayshaft outer
race has aready been nserted nto
the casng. Adran renoved the od nner
race fron the end of the ayshaft.
27
.before sdng on the new nner
race and nsertng the ayshaft n
the gearbox. As the ayshaft s pushed n, t
tends to push the reverse gear backwards.
28
.so Adran brought the reverse gear
forward by sdng t aong the shaft.
Make sure that the teeth on these gears
(arrowed) are engaged and eveny ned up.
29
The three detent sprngs n the thrd
fourth synchro unt becone worn (see
nset) and eventuay break. The synchro then
becones opsded, npedng gear changng.
30
A fu gearbox strpdown s requred to
repace then. Adran sd out the od
and sd n new, onebyone. He then pushed
the refurbshed synchro unt nto poston.
31
And foowng nserton of the synchro
unt, Adran denonstrated the ast of
the gears to go nto the casng: the nput
shaft and ayshaft front gear.
32
lt was anost behousng tne so

.had to be drven hone, after whch
the bearng retanng pate was added,
the spned bots tapped through the casng
before beng boted n pace.
35
The bearng for the front end of
the ayshaft was drfted nto the
behousng. The uxury of the correct drft
ensures that the bearng goes n eveny.
37
Ths s the nner sde of the ayshaft
bearng, showng the retanng pate
and ockng tab washers whch nust be
tapped over after the nuts have been ftted.
38
Whatever you do, don't forget to
reft the roer bearng on the end
of the nanshaft. lf t has any evdence of
roughness when you spn t, ft a new one.
40
ln the behousng, the bots shown
beng dsassenbed ast nonth are
ftted to the correct torque and, here, Adran
turns over the tabs on the ayshaft retaner.
39
As the behousng s offered up, ths
tapered coar has to st between the

extra ones as we. We do not have ths
proben wthn our own workshop as t s a tean effort,
we share snar workng practces and are aware of what
everyone ese s dong.
l had a phone ca the other day fron soneone we do
not usuay dea wth regardng ther F38 Fange Fover that
woud not run. lt drove hone fne a few weeks ago but
snce then has steadfasty refused to fre up - and woud l
fx t? Hs frend was a nechanc and had changed the fue
punp and checked everythng ese, but t st woud not
start and he reckoned t needed soneone wth a dagnostc
conputer to check for fauts. Whe on the phone l was
thnkng of the nvoce that we, as the astchance saoon,
nght generate, but that was qucky tenpered by the fact
that we woud probaby spend nore tne on t than we
dare charge for. l decned the offer of coectng t as we
for the sane reason, as gettng a dead F38 off soneone's
drve and onto our traer woud take too nuch of our tne.
And so t eventuay appeared, bouncng aong on the bunp
stops on a sod tow poe behnd a JCB Fast Track - whch
reay scared the occupant of the drver's seat. Once hs
nerves had setted l got hn to sgn a work authorsaton of
up to eght hours abour and \500 parts, beyond whch we
needed to seek hs authorsaton. He dd say f t was gong
to be nore than that he woud scrap the F38.
As the punp had been changed, we were thnkng t was
a faut n the varous systens that tod the punp to operate
and not the punp tsef. The engne ECU, nnobser, LFO

reays were a suspects as they a have
a say n the operaton of the fue punp.
l dragged the F38 nto the workshop to
charge the battery (as t was fat) and had
a bt of a sde bet wth the apprentce. l
sad l woud put ny netaphorc noney
on t beng a pressure sensor or reay but
he, beng the eterna optnst, went for
the nost expensve souton, naney
a BECM and nnobser faut.
The apprentce had enough on hs
pate, as he was busy changng the
engne n a Freeander, whch nvoves
ftng the she of the power unt and
suspenson so that the engne can be
changed before the body s owered
back agan. lt was hardy worth dong as
ths was a hghneage vehce wth a
wornout engne, but the owner oved the
Freeander. He had a owneage spare
engne savaged fron a crashed Fover 25, so he was
|ust payng for the abour and consunabes and sone
new tnng bets.
l had ny own Neness n the shape of the F38. As l
had taken t on, l needed to do t - but l was now skrtng
the ssue of workng on t by fndng other essenta tasks.
Eventuay, however, t was nescapabe.
As the prevous person to work on t had "checked
everythng" l needed to actuay dentfy the proben, as t
s wrong to |ust change thngs unt you accdenty happen
upon the faut. l opened up the fap that had been cut n
the foor to reach the petro punp and 8cotchocked a
ong ength of wre to the punp feed wre. l ran ths to
the front of the engne bay and cpped t on the postve
battery ternna.
The punp sprang nto fe and the note deepened as t
but up pressure n the fue ra, and so l tentatvey tred
the starter and was rewarded by the 4.6 engne struggng
nto fe and then settng down to a nce steady burbe. As
the ar suspenson fted, the whoe |ob suddeny becane
nore attractve. l decded t was not a na|or ECU proben
as t was nore ocased to the punp
feed. The reay nght be fauty, but
l assuned t had been checked and
guessed the fuse box tsef had not, as
they suffer corroson underneath, eadng
to bad connectons. l decded to change
the reay frst as t s easy |ust to swap
t wth another nonessenta one n the
pane, but l had a ook at the fuse frst
as l have known these to ook fne but
actuay be bown. l pued the fuse and
t dd not take a sophstcated dagnostc
nachne to spot that t was bown.
l next tested the reay. lt s possbe
to use a neter on then but ths s not
aways accurate as t nay pass but st
be fauty. l prefer to use the snff test.
lf you see any sort of dscoouraton on
the pastc then t has been overheatng;
kewse a good reay w not sne burnt
f you hod the base cose to your nose and snff t. Ths one
passed the vsua nspecton but faed the snff test and so
l ftted a new one aong wth a decentquaty l0 anp fuse
and renoved ny |unp wre. The F38 started straght up and
ran |ust as t ought, so l drove t outsde and eft t runnng.
lt fpped tsef over onto LFO fne so l took t for an
extended test run, swtched back to petro as l had an
errand to run and conbned both tasks. lt ran fne and
started agan when eft for a few hours, so l got the owner to
coect t. He was over the noon at the dnnutve fgure on
the nvoce as he was bracng hnsef for one n four fgures,
and l was happy as l had acheved a l20 per cent charge
out rate for the |ob. l don't know f the fue punp was ever
fauty or f t had sezed up and bown the fuse, but l do
know l have a new and happy custoner who vowed to save
noney by havng hs vehces fxed propery by us n future.
The apprentce sorted the Freeander out wthn the tne l

Look at those oy parkng brake

The drve fange s hed on wth a

When you renove the drve fange,

You now renove the four nuts and

both fron the transfer box.

After renovng the od backpate, you
can ft the new one on to the transfer

10
Ths one ddn't ft so, usng the

22
John had aready renoved the orgna
push rod. Later, you nght need the
cevs fron the end of the rod and the tab to
whch the tensonng sprng attaches.
23
Later, you' pass the Ml0 bot on the
end of the new ad|uster through the
hoe n the handbrake ever vacated by the
od push rod. Ths s often a bt tght.

Next, John dsassenbed the brake
caper. Note how the nstructons
were cose at handl Later, the caper w
be reassenbed nstu, on the backpate.

Dvergng sghty fron the nstructons

John paced the ong caper nountng bots
nto the front of the caper assenby.

.because he knew t woud be easer
to offer up to the frontend of the
backpate rather than attenptng to sde the

Note: the front pad s the one wth the

that the bots were fuy hone wth
the backpate and pad n poston.
29
John sd each of the two sets of
spacer tubes and sprngs over the
two bots and through the hoes n the pad
and backpate.
30
lt was then a snpe natter to sde
the rear pad over the two bots and
to oosey screw the nuts, one on to the end
of each bot.
31
John next tghtened these nuts, and
the dsc rotor bots, wth a socket
before swtchng to hs torque wrench, to

The orgna rod s too ong, but that

The dea was to use the threaded rod to

I run a SIage I V8 Series III, and aparI from
singlehandedly Irying Io use up Ihe world's
known reserves of peIrol iI drives well. II has
however sIarIed Io have Ihe oil lighI hickering aI
Iickover when warm and I have been advised iI needs
an engine rebuild, which aI 80,000 miles surprises me
(as does Ihe quoIe Io do iI). Is Ihis correcI, as I change
Ihe oil every 3000 miles and use a well-known brand
- or have I been ill-advised? I
can do minor work, such as servicing, myself buI a full
engine removal and sIrip-down is a few spanners Ioo
many on my compeIence scale.
James Johnson, Bute (Austra/a)
Fenote dagnoss s not an exact scence,
but before spendng a sgnfcant anount
on t l woud try a coupe of cheaper optons.
Assunng the fter s recent and not bocked l woud
change the o pressure swtch andor nvestgate the
pressure reef vave. The swtch can go fauty and gve
the synptons descrbed and costs ess than a tenner
for a good quaty one. The pressure reef vave can
|an open and s n the fter head next to the pressure
swtch. The vave can be scored and |anned open or
the sprng weak or even broken, and t costs around
\l5 for a kt to repace then.
l woud renove the fter and then ts housng and
repace both the swtch and the reef vave assenby,
before greasng the punp gears so they sefprne and
refttng the housng wth a new gasket as ths saves
dsturbng the rest of the engne n order to prne the
o punp. F the fter wth o before you ft t as ths
heps prnng as we.
These engnes are qute bera n ther toerances
and don't ke nodern, thn os, so l suggest usng one
of the sort desgned for use n cassc engnes. They
rey on voune crcuatng rather than absoute pressure
so nake certan the swtch you buy s for a V8 and not
a generc fta one as they are a set to go out at
dfferng pressures. lf the ght st fckers after ths bt
of attenton, t coud be sonethng deeper n the engne
ke a bocked o pckup straner or danaged front
cover gasket. l doubt f t needs an expensve rebud
as you'd expect a tred engne to have other synptons
such as excess crankcase pressure and nose or
harshness pus bue exhaust snoke andor heavy o use.

A
Cil light hicker on a 5eries lll V8 doesnt necessarily mean an expensive rebuild is on the cards

Pover models - is iI possible Io hI one Io Ihis, and if so,
whaI Iype would you recommend?
Toby Rchardson, Derbyshre
The snpe answer s that t sn't practca and you'd
be better buyng a runnng engne fron a Fover /5
for around \400 and fttng t havng repaced the
tnng bets. lt s qute a bg |ob and |ust about fnancay
vabe; your car s worth around \l500 ess as a nonrunner
than as a runner, and fttng an engne won't cost \ll00.
The nore nvoved answer s that the easest way
woud be to ft the power unt and ancares fron a TD4
autonatc. You w need the exhaust, fue systen and qute
a ot of the wrng, so t woud be easest to buy a dead one
and swap ts entras to your good she. lt s a nassve |ob
but nost of the hoes are n the she as t s a standard
ten. Yet t w not be econonca because savage cars
or the parts are expensve and there are severa days of
work nvoved. lt nght be easer to buy a ghtydanaged
dese Freeander, repar t wth bts fron yours and se the
renander as spares, or a owerspec one ke a Connerca
and upgrade t wth your seats etc.
lf you do nanage to get t runnng wth a dese you' fnd
t's dffcut to nodfy postl993 vehces and get the vehce
record anended. Ths cones to the fore at MoT tne, as
nstead of the petro Cat test resuts the systen s expectng
t w not accept the dese test as beng vad and so the
car w not pass the test. The systen w aso need to be
set to the age of the engne that's been ftted as we so t
can work out the approprate way to test t f t's oder than
the car. lt s not snpy a natter of nakng changes n
secton / of the V5c, as the DVLA w need oads of
supportng paperwork before t w anend the record.
Wth TD4 stuff beng costy and rare, peope have thought
of other engnes to ft. Toyota and Honda unts have been
used n vehces ke yours wth a nanua gearbox and run
as a 4x2. lf yours had been a l.8K seres on a nanua box
t woud be possbe to ft the Fover L seres or even sna
VW or Feugeot deses usng be housng adaptors or the
Freeander dese 'box. But t's not snpe and you st have
the sane fght wth offcadon regardng the vehce record.
Beng of Japanese orgn there' be other vehces that use
the 'box as we, but the physca dffcutes encountered
natng then a up w pae nto nsgnfcance conpared
to the eectronc ones gettng the engne software to tak to
the rest of the car. ln theory t woud be possbe but beyond
the abty of nost DlY and even sked notor engneers.
l do not know of anyone who has successfuy worked out
how to do a converson ke ths, but f soneone has or does
there s a trenendous narketng opportunty as there are
ots of dead V6 Freeanders to go at scattered wordwde.
8o then, you reay do not have a vabe dese opton as
far as your Freeander s concerned, so you w have to fx
t keforke wth a KV6 engne or se t for a few hundred
pounds as a nonrunner.
Parabolics arent always the answer for more comfortable suspension
I use my 88 Series II peIrol as a fun vehicle buI hnd Ihe suspension
really hard, especially as I drive a car mosI of Ihe Iime. I was Ihinking
of buying a seI of parabolic springs buI would prefer a more original
Solihull look so I do noI have Io declare Ihem as a modihcaIion Io my
insurance company. Is Ihere anyIhing else I can use Io give a beIIer ride?
Rchard Kent, G/oucestershre
Fepacng then wth standard ones w probaby gve a better rde
as yours w be aged and probaby sezed up wth tte fexng. Try
substtutng l09 staton wagon rear sprngs on the rear wth part
nunbers 2/96/8 and 2/96/9, and 88 Lghtweght fveeaf front sprngs part
nunbers 562623 and 562624 on the front. lt w have a good weghtcarryng
abty but gve a better rde as the sprngs have ess eaves n operaton and
so have ess ntereaf frcton, whch s exacty the sane prncpe that the
socaed paraboc sprngs work on. Make certan you buy good quaty ones
as sone cheap ones are not tenpered propery and sag very qucky. l woud
aso suggest buyng sone new standard danpers at the sane tne.

Project Re-Discovery draws to a conclusion as
its htted to its new galvanised chassis
FINAL FIT
ate on the second ong
day of work on the
Dscovery 2 - a Land
Fover that woud have
been consgned to the
breakers yard, had t
not been for the nnovaton of Fchards
Chasss - we had a rong chasss that
was anost ready for the body she to
be reftted.
The new chasss was respendent n the
fresh new gavansaton coat (of znc), but
aso the sprngs, danpers, brake capers
and brake dscs were a brand new, fron
Brtpart. Of course the repacenent of
a of these conponents greaty added to
the cost of the bud - as t does n nost
pro|ects of ths type - but there s tte
sense n puttng the Dscovery together
agan usng tred od conponents.
The new cutch and the new 8uperFro
suspenson bushes aso added tne and
noney to the pro|ect, but fase econony
woud have regned had we not renewed
then n the process of the bud.
The econony of renewa cones argey
fron the fact that the parts to be repaced
were easy accessbe - a great dea of
tne s saved when one can get straght
to the unbotng and repacng of the
parts, wthout the hndrance of bodywork
or other assenbes. Ths apped to the
L
EOF vave repacenent on the Td5 engne.
The od vave was renoved n a natter
of nnutes, wth cear easy access, to
be repaced wth the aunnun bypass
ppe and the bankng pate at the other
sde of the head. lnspecton of the EOF
vave showed why ths s such a popuar
nprovenent to the Td5 engne and to the
300Td before t - the bud up of nasty
greasy deposts was nnense; the fve
cynder dese w breathe nuch nore
easy fron now on.
The fue tank had yet to be reftted and
Mke got to work on t, wth the rong
chasss rased on the fourpost ranp.
The pastc fue tank s a very snug ft
wthn the rear chasss ras. Ths s one
reason that the Dsco 2 chasss rots so
prenaturey - t's an dea tght gap for
nud, sat and nosture to be pernanenty
trapped, causng the nevtabe heavy
corroson. The quaty of the stee used n
the chasss nay aso be a key contrbutor.
Ths tght ft of the fue tank creates
qute a puzze for the nstaer - there s
ony one way to offer the tank up to the
chasss. Mke soon had t fgured out
though, even wth a gaon or nore of fue
st n the tank, nakng t cunbersone to
nanoeuvre. We had overooked the fact
that the tank crade was n a nasty state

The rong chasss needs to be exacty

20
Davd checks for parts that need to
be hed n the correct poston as the
body cones down. The steerng nkage n
partcuar needs to be carefuy paced
panted - but 8non and Edward cane
to the rescue and soon had t sutaby
wrebrushed, pror to a bera sprayng
wth a waxy seaant. Wth the tank guard
ready for reuse, Mke fted the tank n
poston, whe 8non and Fh ftted the
crade and tghtened the bots n pace.
The chasss convenenty has captve
nuts on the rear crossnenber to hep
secure the tank qucky. After the tank
was secure, the four fue nes and the
eectrca connectons were reconnected
and checked to the senderpunp unt
but nto the tank.
Whe the guys were gettng the tank
ftted n the new chasss, Mandy was far

Mandy fnshes ceanng off surface
rust fron the hydrauc ppes of the

brush, ceanng surface rust off the ACE
ppes aong the offsde chasss ra. After
Mandy had then ceaned off, she sprayed
then wth grey acryc pant to hep deay
the rustng process. Oven that the ppes
had taken ten years to decay to ths
degree, Mandy's efforts are sure to aow
then to ast for a few nore years.
Whe the body she was st over
on the other ranp, t was aso a good
tne to ft the towng bracket to the
chasss. l had swapped the orgna for
an ad|ustabe one, whch l favour - l have
to tow dfferent traers, whch work best
at dfferng heghts. The towng bracket
conssts of a top bracket that bots to the
rear crossnenber and two ower support
brackets, whch fx to the chasss ras.
The nan "adder" then fts between the
top and ower brackets.
The threaded sectons n the
crossnenber, to whch the top bots
are fxed, were cean and tapped at the
Fchards Chasss factory, so the bots
screwed hone easy. Each had thread
ock fud apped beforehand, to prevent
then vbratng oose over tne. The
chasss ra fxng ponts needed to be
enarged for the bots to ft. ln order to
ensure that the dr dd not accdentay
reach the pastc tank, a pece of wood
was hed n the gap for protecton.
Whe a of ths fna actvty on the
rong chasss was proceedng, Justn and
8non contnued wth ther work on the

and strpped of a grne, wax and tar.
They then apped nunerous poshes,

ln advance of wheeng the rong
chasss over to the twopost ranp and
under the body she, Davd took sone
tne to nspect the undersde of the
body, carefuy szng up the task ahead,
to ensure that he was fuy versed wth
what coud go wrong. Farts such as the
steerng nkage w need to be carefuy
guded - as the body s owered - so
as not to becone trapped n the wrong

We pushed the rong chasss off the

Project II0 is hnally hnished and what a stunner it looksl Les
looks back on the months of effort to create a masterpiece
ABAPPY
ENDIN0...
he Fro|ect ll0 s now
fnshed. But before we
nove on l w recap
what has been done to t
over the ast few nonths.
The pan was to create
a stysh 300Td ll0 staton wagon on a
budget of \6000. The startng pont was
a l989 County 8taton Wagon ftted wth
a dead 2.5 Turbo Dese engne. lt had a
good bukhead and a chasss that
was reparabe.
The frst |ob was to renove the power
unt and the seats, as we were not gong
to need then, and se then to recoup
sone noney. We then purchased a l994
Dscovery that was an MoT faure but st
drveabe, and thus the condton of the
gearbox coud be checked and the 300Td
engne run at workng tenperature so we
were abe to nake certan t was a
good one.
We deberatey chose one of ths age
as t has a cabetype acceerator and s
not one of the ater fybywre ones wth
T
an ar fow neter and a host of other
wrng probens gettng t to ft n a ll0.
When we were satsfed wth our purchase
we soon had the engne and gearbox out
on the foor, and the renander weghed
n as scrap, but not before we savaged
sone eectrca tens and other bts fron
t ke the steerng box, steerng rods and
aoy whees. l aso threw a ot away.
A set of engne nounts were weded to
the chasss that woud put the engne n
the factory poston, so standard hoses
and exhaust systen coud be used. These
cane wth a asercut tenpate that s
boted to the chasss and the nountngs
weded n pace where they are postoned
by ths fxture. lt s essenta to get then
rght as a ot of other thngs depend on
the engne beng n the rght pace. lt
s approxnatey sx nches (l50 nn)
further forward n the chasss than the
od Turbo engne and |ust where the
factory put then n producton nodes.
Ths neans we can use standard hoses
and other conponents whch w nake

lt s sy to spt a unt ke ths as there
s potenta to danage tens such as the

front pane and no gearbox crossnenber

The gearbox nountngs were n a
dfferent pace, so the chasss was dred
to sut the new nountng postons. The
Dscovery chasss crossnenber was used
to sut the gearbox, whch sts on new
rubber nountngs.

The exhaust was a conbnaton of a
noncataytc converter staness stee
front ppe nated to the rest of a Td5
systen purchased fron eBay. lt s a l990
vehce and so does not need a cataytc
converter, so renovng ths and bockng
off the EOF vave wth a fat pate ought
to gve us the naxnun power avaabe
wthout na|or nodfcatons.
Whe the autonatc engne n|ector
punp s set up to gve nore power to the
tune of ll bhp, ths s absorbed by the
greater power osses n the auto box tsef.
l aso purchased the front doors and
bonnet fron a Td5 90, rear doors fron
a savage ll0 and an nteror fron an
accdentdanaged O4 90 that was
beng broken.
An auto|unbe forage found covers n
O4 natera for the ll0 ndde bench
seats that l had added to the 90 ones, so
now t was a fu nneseat nteror wth O4
wpecean natera and a wth seatbets
usng the factory nountngs. The nteror
ganed a new carpet set and Faptor dash,
aong wth a centre consoe to take the

coupe of new outrggers and sone patch

The wedng was not too dffcut as up to

the chasss sound, t was treated wth

The varous bushes underneath were

New Oenune screen rubber was a
dodde to ft and the ack of spts
n t reay tded up the whoe vehce's
appearance
better, especay when towng as they are
ess prone to fadng.
We found the nner drve shaft n
the front axe was broken, and suspect
that was probaby why the ll0 was
orgnay set asde n the sand quarry
where t spent ts workng fe, so that
was repaced as we whe the hub was
strpped down. A Fange Fover Cassc
shaft was the sane so t saved a few
pounds buyng a new one.
Fange Fover F38 whees were
purchased and ftted usng Fakeway
adaptors. There were three reasons
for dong ths:
l. The overa daneter s the sane as
the whees on the donor Dscovery and
so the transfer box dd not need to be
changed as we aready have the sane
axe gearng as n the Dscovery.
2. l dd not want to nake the vehce
too ta and dffcut for the passengers to
get n and out of t (and they drve better
f the centre of gravty s ower down).
3. They ook better.
The rear of the body was ftted wth a set
of bondedn wndows and t was then tne
for sone pantwork. Metac nxed to
pattern s expensve and so we bought ten
tres of readynxed peareffect red as t
anost natched the doors and bonnet,
athough these were panted as we.
Ths saved severa hundreds of pounds.
The pantng was done n severa stages
and whe t took sone tne t was easer
than tryng to tacke the |ob n one go.
The Meccanoke assenby of a ll0 body
she wth nunerous pane |onts ends
tsef to DlY pantng, so we dd that rather
than spend the \l500 needed to get t
done esewhere.
lt was aso costeffectve, as we coud
repar a ot of the danage that woud
have been unecononc to have done
professonay where pane repacenent
s the norn.
The Defender shape s now anost 30
years od. We wanted to update ths one a
bt, so cear ght enses were ftted aong
wth a Td5 savaged front bunper and
the wng repeater anps savaged fron
a Fover car (wth the hoe n the wng
opened up to sut).
We aso ftted sone chequerpate n
sver to natch the whees, and t has the
added advantage of strengthenng the
front wngs and tdyng sone of the body
danage at the sane tne. l nust adnt
l an not a great over of 8atan's 8cay
8kn, but t dd save a ot of noney on
repacenent panes.
l an deghted wth the fna resuts,
and even nore peased to be abe to
report that the pro|ect was done wthn
the orgna budget of \6000, ncudng
purchasng the vehce. We have acheved
what we set out to do - and ended up
wth a great vehce.

ench grnders are one
of those bts of kt
that are rarey used n
nost workshops. But
they often nake the
dfference between a |ob
beng doabe and conpetey npossbe.
Wth so nany avaabe, over a very
wde prce range, whch one shoud
you buy? We, the frst consderaton
s whether to go wth sx or eghtnch
whees. The atter tend to have nore
torque and the stones ast onger.
The other ssue s whether to choose
two stones, of dfferng grades, or have
one stone and one wre brush whee. The
power brush s a forndabe ceaner of
sna conponents - such as renovng
burnton carbon fron engne vaves.
Then there's prce. Ornders start at
|ust over \20, but professona nodes
can cost severa hundred. ln a fabrcaton
shop, a grnder w be on nost of the
tne, and hannered hard, whe even
a busy garage w use thers ony very
occasonay. Athough t's aways good
to buy the best equpnent you can afford,
wth bench grnders t's easy to pay way
over the odds for sonethng that's far
heaver duty than you actuay need.

TBETE5T5
TORQUE: A bench grinder's
speed should dip only
slighIly when someIhing is
pressed againsI Ihe wheel. If
speed drops excessively, Ihe
uniI is under-powered.
RESTS AND SHlELDS:
Tool resIs are essenIial, buI
excessive hex is a common
problem. A bevel on Ihe
rear edge makes sharpening
blades - such as chisels
- easier. And grooves are
handy for posiIioning blunI
drill biIs aI |usI Ihe righI
angle Io Ihe wheel. Some
resIs are easier Io Iweak
Ihan oIhers. Thumbscrew
seI-ups, which don'I require
exIra Iools, are a bonus. Eye
shields should obviously
be big enough Io prevenI
deIriIus reaching your
face, buI we prefer designs
IhaI are boIh free enough
Io ad|usI easily and hrm
enough noI Io hop down due
Io Ihe machine's vibraIion.
USABlLlTY: II's surprisingly
easy Io exerI more force
on a bench grinder Ihan
you realise. So iI's crucial
Ihe uniI can be secured Io
a suiIable workbench. We
also prefer models where
Ihe swiIch is proIecIed from
huid/dirI ingress - as boIh
are possibly hazards in
auIomoIive work. Finally, Ihe
longer Ihe mains lead, Ihe
easier Ihe Iool is Io posiIion.
EXTRAS: An inIegral lighI is
a dehniIe bonus. AfIer all,
safeIy glasses are a musI
when grinding, and Ihey
Iend Io sap lighI noIiceably.
For mosI auIomoIive work, a
wire brush wheel is probably
more useful Io Ihe Land
Pover owner Ihan having
Iwo sIones of differenI
grades. Wheel dressing
Iools are anoIher useful
accessory, as Ihey Iend Io
de-glaze and haIIen ouI
parIially-worn wheels.
CCMMENTS: Conpared to nany of the bgger unts
here, ths one ooks a tte toyke. But don't be
fooed by appearances. The punchy 200 watt notor

nakng the grnder penty good enough for nost

0RINDIN0P0INT5
AlIhough fairly innocuous-looking
pieces of kiI, bench grinders have
been responsible for some preIIy
nasIy in|uries over Ihe years. So
always make sure you don proper
safeIy glasses before using one,
and Ihis is especially criIical on
models wiIh wire brush wheels. As
Ihe brush geIs old, individual wires
break loose - and bear in mind IhaI
Ihey could have been spinning aI
around 3000 rpm prior Io working
free. So Ihey can end up anywhere,
and Ihey're usually sharp enough Io
dig inIo anyIhing sofI - such as an
eyeball!
Again, Iake exIra care when using
a wire brush wheel as Ihey have
a Iendency Io snaIch if Ioo much
pressure is applied. Cn smaller
ob|ecIs iI's besI Io puI some
disIance beIween your hand and Ihe
wheel by, perhaps, using a Iough
pair of self-grip pliers Io hold Ihe
ob|ecI being cleaned.
When replacing wheels, make
sure you know your sIones. You'll
obviously know wheIher Ihey should
be 6 or 8in diameIer, buI remember
widIhs vary Ioo. And Ihen Ihere's
Ihe grade and maIerial. WiIh sIones,
anyIhing above 60 griI is generally
classed as hne, while 36, or less, is
coarse. For mosI general-purpose
work, aluminium oxide wheels are
Ihe besI compromise. BuI whiIe ali
oxide is beIIer for hardened sIeels or
even high-speed sIeel Iools like drill
biIs. Pink abrasive is Ihe wheel of
choice for Iool-grade alloys, due Io
iIs lower operaIing IemperaIure.
And silicon carbide is more Ihan
ample for sofI maIerials, such as
plasIics, casI iron, and non-ferrous
meIals. Finally, make sure IhaI all
wheels are raIed Io your grinder's
operaIing speed.
CCMMENTS: A sghty strange node, for
a nunber of reasons. Frst, t's unusua to
fnd an npressve 3/0 watts of notor power
drvng sxnch, rather than eghtnch,
whees. The other bg dfference s the
obvous one: the ftnent of a wre brush
whee n pace of one of the stones. We have
to say that, for autonotve work, ths s
arguaby nore usefu. Ony f you take your

In Ihis IesI we're Irying Io hnd
Ihe besI Irade-off of price and
performance for Ihe usage inIended.
In realiIy, for auIomoIive work,
bench grinders are used occasionally
raIher Ihan all Ihe Iime - and wiIh
Ihis in mind we had no hesiIaIion in
awarding Ihe BesI Buy Io Silverline's
263524. II offers an incredibly usable
spec for Ihe money and iIs Ihree-year
warranIy eases fears abouI durabiliIy.
The 900/0025 from Argos is
acIually very similar Io Ihe BesI Buy,
buI less powerful. However, iI's an
awful loI of Iool for Ihe money.
BuI whaI if you wanI a bench
grinder IhaI's going Io be used
day-in, day-ouI? Well, Sealey's
Pecommended BGI50XLW/98 is a
good heavy-duIy model, wiIh wire
brush supplied in place of one of Ihe
abrasive wheels.
Cur hnal award winner is Draper's
Pecommended 06498. II's Ioo
small Io be a good alIernaIive Io
a convenIional bench grinder, buI
iI's ideal as a replacemenI for a
convenIional, Dremel-sIyle, mulIi Iool,
wiIh a polishing and grinding funcIion

As l nentoned n ny

As nost of the |obs at the nonent are

hose of a certan age
nay renenber the
eary l980s when Frne
Mnster Margaret
Thatcher gave counc
house tenants the rght
to buy ther hones. As a resut, nons
becane honeowners practcay overnght
- and one of the frst thngs nost of then
dd was repace the councssue panted
front door wth sonethng nodern,
staned and varnshed. lt was ther way
of personasng ther hones and nakng
then stand out fron the others n
ther street.
You can see ther pont. Us Brts are
very ndvduastc - and that appes
to Land Fovers, too. ln fact, t appes
to Land Fovers nore than |ust about
anythng ese.
l net up wth ny od nate Chrs
Dawson fron 8verne the other day.
He ses whees and tyres - hundreds
of thousands of 'en - ncudng a
dsproportonate nunber to Land Fover
owners. Why? As Chrs expaned: "The
frst thng nost peope do when they
buy a Land Fover s ft new whees
and tyres."
He's rght, of course. lt s the easest
way to personase your Land Fover. lt's a
quck fx as you enbark on the addcton
known as Land Fover ownershp. And
you've got to adnt they do ook good.
Havng sad that, l have spent seven
years resstng dong |ust that. When l
bought ny 300Td Dscovery autonatc
back n 2006, t had ess than 60,000
nes on the cock and, l suspect, the
orgna tyres on ts orgna stee whees.
The spare had never been used, whch
was pretty renarkabe for a tenyearod
Land Fover.
At that tne there weren't nany
Dscoverys runnng around on stee
whees of any descrpton, et aong new
ones. Most had aoys ftted as new and
those that weren't had then retroftted.
8o l decded to keep the sghty rusty
stee whees. l ked the authentcty as
we as the shabby chc ook. The fact that
there was absoutey nothng wrong wth
the whees and Ooodyear Wranger AT
tyres heped, too.
But as the years passed, so dd the
appea of those whees. They got ruster
and sow "punctures" becane the norn.
Ony they weren't punctures, of course
- they were the sow oss of pressure
caused by the corroded rns and ess
thanperfect seas for the tubeess tyres.
But l was gettng genune punctures, too.
l don't know about you, but l can't thnk
of anythng nore defatng (sorry) than
gong to your car and fndng out you've
got a puncture. That happened to ne the
other nornng and, after the usua fthy
|ob of swappng t for the spare, l decded
there and then to bte the buet and treat
the Dsco to new whees and tyres. A few
hours ater l ordered then: shny, new

Fropery nantaned, these engnes

MIKE
MANIF0LD
SAYS
"These engnes are good for 250,000 nes.
Ths one s qute teray not run n yet"
THE WHEELS are a orgna, conpete
wth orgna tyres - and the spare s
unused. The pant s not brant on the
whees, but then agan t was not perfect
when supped new, as t was ony a thn
coat of sver pant on the outsde.
The tyres are the orgna Ooodyear
Wngfoots, wth good tread. They have
not fatspotted ether by standng unused
for a ong tne. Od tyres can suffer UV
degradaton but these ook crackfree,
suggestng the vehce has been hdden
away n the dark sonewhere. They nay
be a future proben and need reguar
nspecton. The other proben s the
rubber can harden and not offer such
good grp, but as ths s not a sports car
drven on the nt l thnk they w be fne.
FRCNT
AS WITH nost thngs the orgna forn s
nost peasng and the earer nutpece
front end ooks better than the ater gre.
Ths one s n super condton wth no
danage or sgn of refnshng. The bonnet
deca s the orgna, wth ts duotone
fnsh and, whe not as peasng as the
back pastc rased etters of the oder
node, there are 20 fewer hoes n the
bonnet to aow corroson to gan a foothod.
The gap between the front pane and
bonnet s qute bg, but that s how they
cane and t dd not nprove for the next
l5 years of producton. The bunper s
orgna wth ts sennatt fnsh and even
the nunber pates are the orgna Unpart
ones, conpete wth the suppyng deaer's
nane on then.
NEARSIDE
THE NEAPSIDE s as straght as you'd
expect on an 8000ne vehce, wth
absoutey zero corroson on the ss
or n the door botton. Ths box secton
s on the nearsde s nost prone to
corroson but the drver sde door frane s
usuay worse. The frane s stee and the
skn aunnun and so suffers dreadfu
eectroytc corroson.
The door s n superb orgna condton.
The faceft vehces have Faonno vny
panes on the top and carpet on the ower
haf to natch the foor coverng. These are
both n good condton as they are prone
to buckng f the hardboard backng gets

CFFSIDE
THE PANELS ne up qute we for a
Fange Fover but at ths tne and have
reasonaby tght gaps. l doubt f they have
ever been renoved. The door does not
appear to have dropped yet, as the hnges
have not had that nuch use, and the
frane has not sagged ether. They are
ong and heavy doors on twodoor nodes,
but st ought to open and cose easy.
The hardtoget stee rear wndow
runner s not corroded. lt sts we on ts
suspenson and has not adopted the ta
down pose of nany. The pantwork ooks
to be orgna and n tdy condton though
not perfect. Ths car has never been a
rusty od banger and so never needed
restorng ke anost every other one of
the sane age.
REAR
THE TAILGATES are we renowned for
rustng but these are both good and ook
orgna. Whe the ower one has a coupe
of sna scratches, ths s part of the patna
expected on an orgna vehce. The upper
tagate has been repaced as t s nore
nodern than the vehce. Anazngy,
the gas struts hod t up st.
The body crossnenber s another
favourte rust pont, but ths s perfect
- as are the whee arches and foor. Low
neage does not guarantee no rust, as
napproprate storage condtons can
pronote corroson. The nner tagate
s not carpeted and w bear wtness
narks to use. Ths s orgna and
perfect, and so renforces the ow
readng on the odoneter.
INTERICR
WHILE EAPLY nouded vny nterors are
hghy przed they are hardy a peasure to
use, and the ater sttched vny and coth
ones were not nuch better. Ths Bronze
vevet trn s one of the frst efforts by
Land Fover to nove the vehce upnarket,
and the trnned whee arches and foor
nake t |ust that bt better (athough
not as nucktoerant). lt suffers wear,
especay on the outer edge of the drver's
seat, and severe fadng wth sunght.
But ths exanpe s fne, however, and
the back seat ooks as f t has never been
used. The natera used to trn then s
unobtanabe, so a good orgna nteror
ke ths s a rare fnd.
THE FUNDING for Ihis car would
buy you almosI every Iype of Land
Pover available. BuI remember
IhaI if you buy a modern one such
as, say, a Ihree-year-old Discovery
or Freelander, Ihey will be
depreciaIing aI anyIhing up Io
500 a monIh.
An L322 Pange Pover of similar
valuewill probablybedepreciaIing
even more, while a Defender aI
Ihis level will be depreciaIing a biI
less, especially if iI is one of Ihe
more upmarkeI higher-spec
versions and noI a farmer's Iruck.
II is all abouI deciding if you are
buying an everyday user or an
occasional-use hobby car, as one
will go down and Ihe oIher up in
value. There will be very few oIher
Land Povers or classic cars IhaI
will be appreciaIing like Ihe
classic Pange Pover model range
is doing aI Ihe momenI, Ihough
an early Series I from Ihe hrsI few
years of producIion will cerIainly
be holding iIs money.
However, as Series Cnes
sIarIed Io rise in value some while
before Ihe oIher classic Land
Povers, Ihe values have now
reached a plaIeau, wiIh much
lower percenIage gains, and Ihe
less well-resIored ones are falling
back Io perhaps Iheir Irue worIh
- Ihough Ihis is because of
previously over-inhaIed values
and noI markeI Irends.
The slighIly cheaper Defender
50 and even cheaper Tomb
Paiders are low or even nil
depreciaIion, and Ihese more
modern classics will probably be
appreciaIing soon. The
MonIeverdi and CSK Pange
Povers are sIill undervalued aI
presenI and are possibly Ihe nexI
rising sIars in Ihe Land Pover
universe.

Showus YOUBpro|ect that YOUare working on

I99S300TDI DEFENDERII0
What's the stcry?
l bought t three years ago ths nonth.
8nce then l've been turnng t nto ny
dea expedton vehce.
ls that necessary in Huntingdcn?
One day l'd ke to drve t to Afrca, or
Asa. l'n fron a Land Fover fany and
ny unce, who's aso a Land Fover fan
and has owned about eght of then, s
takng about a trp to Asa, so naybe l'
|on hn...
ls this ycur hrst Land Rcver?
No, t's ny ffth. l've aso had a Td5
Defender, a Dscovery 2 and a 8eres lll. l
earned to drve at l8 n a l984 naturay
asprated Nnety. l'n 24 now.
What's speciaI abcut this cne?
l bought t because t was nnacuate
- not a spot of rust anywhere. lt started
fe as a conpany car, owned by 8koda
at Mton Keynes. lt had 89,000 nes on
the cock and t's done l05,000 now.
What have ycu dcne sc far?
Where do l start? When l bought t,
soneone had aready ftted bucketstye
heated seats, whch l found awkward, so
l bought sone od seats and retrnned
then nysef. l've done t before - and t
doesn't get any easer the second tnel
Aso nsde l've ftted a Faptor dash,
wth gauges for turbo pressure, o
tenperature and a votneter, as we
as a CB rado.
One of ny proudest nonents was
fttng a nrror fron a Dscovery 2 - one
of the rare ones wth a dgta conpass
but n. l haven't heard of anyone ese
fttng one n a Defender.
The roof consoe was fron eBay and
provdes usefu extra storage space,
whch you aways need n a Defender.
l had to rebud the front dff when
l destroyed the od one. lt was ny own
faut - l forgot to knock t out of dff ock
after l'd been offroadng.
What's gcing cn under the bcnnet?
The engne was n good condton, but l
ftted a newft punp after l ran out of fue
and a perfornance ar fter, whch s ess
fddy than the orgna. lt s connected to
a 8afar snorke.
What's been the mcst difhcuIt jcb?
8tupdy, l decded to chop through the
wres to the nnobser, not reasng
that t woud aso k the fue and starter
soenod. l'n st sortng t out now - l've
got a ot of tdyng up of the wrng eft
to do - but l'n earnng by ny nstakes.
My next bg |ob s fttng a bgger battery
box under the passenger seat, whch l'n
fabrcatng fron gavansed stee.
Why's that?
The aternator s ony 60 anps so l'n
gong for a twnbattery setup and fttng
a second battery for the ghts, rado and
the nne l2vot sockets l've ftted around
the vehce.
Where are ycu dcing the wcrk?
Outsde ny parents' house. l nany work
on t at weekends.
Any future pIans?
lt's an ongong pro|ect. Eventuay l'd ke
to ft a conpressor and water suppy so
that l can ve n ny Land Fover for days
on end when l go overandng. l want t to
be a hone fron hone.
