Project L660 may
be India bound
THE NEXT GENERATION
Defender could be built in India.
Land Rover is currently conducting
a feasibility study to determine
whether to build the model on the
subcontinent, according to the
Times of India news website.
The move comes just months
after Jaguar Land Rover finalised
its joint venture with major
Chinese auto manufacturer Chery
Automobile to build vehicles
in China. JLR, which is owned
by the Indian automotive giant
Tata Motors, also has an Indian
factory in Pune, Maharashtra,

Times of India, the Defender plant
would be on a separate site, either
in Pune or Sanand, Gujarat. The
factory is also likely to house an
engine plant.
The outcome of the feasibility
study is expected by the second
half of 2012.
The Times of India claims to
have spoken to company insiders,
who say that the study is ‘at a very
initial stage’. However, if the result
is positive, the plant is likely to

WorldMags.net
The sources revealed that the
plant will probably have a capacity
of 30,000 to 50,000 units per
annum.
“JLR is very keen to set up a
base. Different teams involved in
Project L660 (codename for the
next generation Defender) have
visited India several times. They
are keen to use this as an export
hub with almost 60-80 per cent
(of the output) to be shipped to
overseas market,” said one source.
The next generation Defender
is likely to be powered by an inline
turbocharged four-cylinder 2-litre
diesel engine (codenamed AJ200)
that is likely to deliver 170-250
bhp. This engine is also likely to
be manufactured at the proposed
engine plant, which JLR has
announced in the past.
It is believed that the engine
plant will have a capacity to
manufacture 50,000 units a
year, with a bulk of the vehicles
manufactured in India being
earmarked for exports.

owners, could well be JLR’s third

on hold
THE WALL Street Journal
recently carried a report from
an insider at Jaguar Land
Rover that the company
has shelved plans to build a
factory in Brazil.
The American newspaper
claimed that JLR pulled the
plug due to falling car sales
in South America, along
with adverse changes in
Brazilian company tax rules
and regulations governing
foreign companies setting up
facilities in the country.
According to the Wall
Street Journal, JLR’s decision
mirrors a similar move by
Germany’s BMW, which has
also suspended plans to
build a new plant in Brazil.
“Premium auto makers are
getting cold feet,” it reported.
JLR declined to comment.

Once the race is under way the
Land Rovers are then used for a non

THE BERKSHIRE 4x4 show was started
to show a general spread of all 4x4s but
is now open to any vehicles of all shapes
and sizes. The event was started to help
different charities and to give something
back to the community.
The event is raising money for a
lifesaving piece of surgical equipment
known as the Da Vinci robot, more
affectionately known as Robbie.
The robot needs £1million to keep it
opperational as it provides an essential
role in the treatment of prostate cancer.
There will be lots going on at the
show including arena demonstrations
by a strong man act, motorcycle, quad
and 4x4 stunts, live music, vehicle
parades, trials. There will also be a
heavily modified 4x4 display and an array
of clubs showing off their member’s
vehicles. You’ll also be able to pick up
bargains at the varied trade stands as
well as truck displays and monster truck
demonstrations.
Camping is available and forms can
be downloaded online. The event takes
place just off the A33. The nearest

END OF

The two vehicles here share one commonality – they’re both the last models of their breed – the
Classic coming from late in 1995, replaced by the P38, and the L322, set to be replaced later this
year by the L405. Fitting then that we compare two Rangies at the top of their respective games.

And let us not forget, it was only back in 2009
that Tata rejected an assistance bid from the
government with the company teetering on
the verge of mass redundancies and factory
closures. That all harks back to a darker period
for the company in the 90s when Land Rover
lurched from one manufacturer’s ownership
to another; Rover Group, British Aerospace,
BMW, Ford and finally now, Tata.
Let’s all thank heavens that the Indian
giants did bring Land Rover back from the
brink. They’ve made extremely calculated
investments in the company, pushing new
product lines and positioning the business in
new markets all over the world. In fact, in 20
or 30 years time when a new generation of
enthusiasts are discussing Land Rovers at the
pub, it will probably be unthinkable to them
that the company endured such hard times,
and nevertheless they’ll all be sharing fuel and

vehicle that is the main factor for change and
progress in 2012. ³

³ Through the decades, there have
been defining cars that have helped
or hindered Land Rover’s progress
as a global brand. Starting with
genesis, the Series One set the
standard, but other models such as
the Defender, Freelander, Discovery
and now the Evoque have all
provided revenue streams, keeping
the company competitive in an
ever-changing market. The notable
omission from that list is of course
the Range Rover.
No one model in the line-up has
had such a universal appeal, all
the way from the first owner, right
through to the seventh or eighth.
As Tata look to position Land
Rover into modern markets with
less emphasis being placed on the
utilitarian models, the Range Rover
seems to be the one vehicle that has
been able to adapt over its 42-year
product life. While the Defender
has been starved of development
for 30 years, the Range Rover has
seamlessly moved from the fields to

instead of bomb holes.

The Range Rover has been with
us now for 42 years and in that
time we’ve only been lucky enough
to have three generations, 1970-
1996, 1994-2002, 2002-2012. The
three models gracing those three
decades were also hugely different

yet in some ways, the crossover
between them all was evident. For

and in 1994 when BMW took over
you could walk into a showroom
and purchase a second generation
model for £44,000 or a first
generation model for £36,500.
The first generation model was in
production for a quarter of a century
and spawned iconic models such as
the CSK, LSE 4.2, Autobiography
and In Vogue model. Total sales over
that 25 year period totalled 326,000
vehicles – amazing that in 2012
Jaguar Land Rover sold 314,433
in one year, albeit across the two
brands and including all models,
however there is a spooky parity
between the two figures. Sadly the
old first generation model began
to look a little long in the tooth and
was replaced, sort of, in 1994 by the
P38A.
A lot of people won’t remember
the P38 too fondly, although you’ll be
surprised to hear that it was actually
a stronger seller, year on year, than
the first generation model. A lot of
Classic owners baulked at its looks
with some saying it had the front
of Talbot Horizon and the rear of a
Talbot Sunbeam. At the time, with
BMW at the helm, a mid-life facelift
and general overhaul was planned
for the P38A but BMW was worried
that it wouldn’t be able to hold

P38 and first gen models were on
sale together, Land Rover called all
P38 Range Rovers ‘new’ and all first
gen ones ‘classic’, hence the slightly
modified badge on the rear of this
Vogue SE.
As mentioned earlier, the P38
really split people’s opinions and it
never seemed to give a knowing-
enough nod to its predecessor. As
Wolfgang Reitzle began to plan
the P38’s successor in the mid-
90s, it became a little starved of
development and in its final years
a plethora of special editions were
launched to keep interest alive.
It always assumed the air of a
transitional vehicle, one that wasn’t
iconic in design and didn’t fit in with
future growth into luxury market. In
eight years of production, the P38
sold 167,000 units so it was far

And that’s why pairing these two

fitting as they both have the air of
being the best they can be.
Regardless of being at the end
of its product life, the L322 has
always embodied the pinnacle of
engineering and luxury within the
Land Rover brand. The model in
question here is a 4.4 litre diesel
V8 with an eight-speed auto box.
The one thing you can never accuse

According to an online old money
convertor, the price of a Vogue SE
back in 1995 (£36,500) roughly
equates to £56,940 in today’s
money. You might have expected
that gap to be a little smaller but it
was Wolfgang Reitzle who really
homed in on the L322’s ability to
exploit the luxury market, propelling
the model to the front of the line,
where the Classic and P38 had
ventured with some trepidation.
Lining the two cars up on
Houndkirk Moor near Sheffield, the
most obvious and somewhat clichéd
observation to note is the difference
in size. In terms of length the old FRONT END
car measures 4,470mm whereas
the new car comes in at 4,872mm.
Interestingly, there’s not too much
in it in terms of wheelbase (100"
versus 113") highlighting that the
body has swelled and grown on
the L322, much in the same way as
every modern vehicle has. It’s inside
that you really feel that difference in
space.

you do still get envious looks from

Both the vehicles possess auto

is jaw droppingly big. The Classic
comes with a ZF four speed
automatic, shared with the
Discovery. The L322 on the other
hand takes the Classic’s four gears
and doubles them, making a total of
eight forward gears. These are all
stealthily controlled by a brushed
aluminium dial. Such is the confusing
and baffling nature of owning eight
gears, you’re never quite sure which
gear the ZF8HP70 box is in, but with
510Nm of torque, you can generally

magnificent set-up and is the main
reason the 3.2 tonne Range Rover
can achieve 30mpg on a long run.
A lot of Classic owners nowadays
have converted their V8 Range
Rovers to diesels in the quest for
more miles per gallon. If economic
frugality is you goal then I can’t
fault you, but to take away the
wonderful V8 power and noise from
an old Range Rover is a hard pill
to swallow. The TDV8 in the L322
makes a good noise but as with any
turbo diesel, there’s a large amount
of ‘whooshing’ going on and not
much bass – never an issue with a
3.9 V8 petrol.

What we can do is compare the
way each of these cars makes you

you feel special, but it’s the kind

Velvet Revolution putting an end to communism in Czechoslovakia
and the eventual split into two countries; Slovakia and the Czech
Republic.
What this means two decades on is that we can come and go
into Eastern Europe whenever and however we please. And for
us Land Rover fans, the Czech Republic offers not only a warm
welcome from some seriously dedicated fellow enthusiasts,
but some stunning countryside blessed with mile upon mile of
greenlanes. And if, like me, these former Eastern Bloc areas
fascinate you, the drive to and from CZ is almost as good as
what’s on offer when you arrive.
Making full use of these surroundings is the annual, Series-only
Birmabright Weekend at Kutna Hora, a weekend of leafing, laning,
camping and plenty of cheap beer. Jan Hyrman is the organiser
and every year he posts an open invite out on the various Series-
specific internet sites, leading to quite a number of Landies from
all over Europe making the trek to CZ. I last went in 2010 and
getting there was a bit of a mission – due to publishing schedules,
we ended up doing the 630-mile haul from the Hook of Holland to
Kutna Hora in one hit. Not much fun.
This time, we were determined to make more of a ‘holiday’
out of the trip, journeying down from Dunkirk in France to Kutna
Hora over a couple of days and having a leisurely drive back.
Wednesday-to-Wednesday was the plan, and through the OLLR
forum we soon found plenty of others who fancied the adventure.
My steed was my 1952 Series One 80, newly-propelled with
a 2-litre Perkins Prima turbo diesel. Like a number of other Brits
planning to go, preparation was rather last minute with the final
jobs being finished on the morning of the day we set off. Even
then, I ran out of time and didn’t fit a socket for the sat nav. No
matter; my co-pilot wife, Becca, was happy reading a map and
we were sure some others in the convoy would have some kind of
navigation aid.
In the end six Land Rovers caught the boat from Dover. Our 80
was joined by Alfred, the 1955 86 which has been built up in the
pages of LRM over the past year by owner Jim Goble. He nearly ³

didn’t make it after a DVLA mix up
with his V5, but at the last minute it
all came together. This was the first
big trip for this 200Tdi powered, LT77
geared Series One, and the first trip
full stop for our pal Munkie’s 1966
Series IIA ambulance. Munkie and his
girlfriend Lisa brought it three weeks
beforehand from Neil Watterson of
LRO magazine and quickly decided
that, as well as converting the body
to a camper, he would fit a 200Tdi as
well. Several late nights later and the
ambulance was transformed. The day
we left for Dover was the first time it
had been driven at any speed since
the engine went in, and the converted
sofa bed in the back hadn’t been tried
out – and we weren’t entirely sure that
the repaired roof didn’t leak. They did
bring a tent with them, just in case.
We were joined by two Birmabright
Weekend veterans – Mike ‘Stig’

Series IIA One Ton, ‘Dougal’, and
Jon Holmes with a 1958 Series One
109 pickup with a 2.25 diesel engine,
which he had dragged out of an Essex
hedge and got back on the road.
Finally, there was Mike Berryman who
had driven all the way from Cornwall
in his marvellous 1949 80.
The following morning our merry
gang made our way through the mist
and onto the DFDS 8.00am ferry to
Dunkirk. Breakfast gulped down, duty
frees eyed up for the way home – and
we were soon landed in sunny France.
The first two days of the trip, while
not exactly rushed, were quite busy as
we had quite a few miles to get under
our tyres. The first destination was a
campsite at Freilingen, Germany, a
distance of 234 miles. But first there
was a bit of tinkering to do.
We found a truck park on the
outskirts of Dunkirk port and
regrouped there. Munkie’s ambulance
had a couple of issues; a heater hose
had split and one of the alternator
bolts had sheared off in the block,
leaving it held in place by one bolt
(spaced out with lots of washers) and
the adjuster. Quickly ‘fixed’ we hit the
road for a day of mostly uneventful
motorway pounding.
I say mostly uneventful as, sitting
in traffic near Brussels, my top hose
came apart and dumped all the
coolant onto the motorway. Luckily
it was just a loose Jubilee clip and
sorted in a couple of minutes.
That night we stopped over at the
Eifel-Camp at Freilinger, a great site
with an on-site pub serving up decent
food and some marvellous beer. Here
we met up with Mark Strangways,

TIME WARP
DISCOVERY Dave Phillips reckons this is the best 300Tdi Disco he’s seen
in over a decade. And it’s got just 27,000 miles on the clock
Words and Photos by Dave Phillips

42 August 2012 LAND ROVER monthly WorldMags.net

 Ted Andrews and the IT’S 1998. Tony Blair has been
remarkable 27,000-mile Prime Minister for a year, the Spice
Discovery 1 Girls are still topping the charts and
the country is still recovering from
the shock death of Diana, Princess
of Wales. At Land Rover’s factory
in Solihull, everybody is gearing
up for the imminent launch of the
Discovery II. But in the meantime the
final – and some would say the best
– Discovery 1s are still rolling off
the production lines. Among them
is an XS-spec Rioja Red three-door
that would become registered R608
GJL.
Since its launch at the end of
1989, the Discovery had become
an automotive legend. This was,
after all, the vehicle that saved
Land Rover. Without it, Land Rover
would probably have gone the
same way as the multitude of other
British car manufacturers that had
disappeared without a trace through
the 1960s and 70s. But the massive
success of the versatile Discovery
had bolstered the
company’s
fortunes. It had quickly become
Europe’s best-selling 4x4 and the
public simply loved it.
The man who bought R608
GJL from Duckworths of Market
Rasen, Lincolnshire, seemed to
be no different to all the other
Discovery buyers. But he turned
out to be very different indeed.
Instead of subjecting his gleaming
new Rioja Red 4x4 to the usual
abuse delivered by the average
owner, he looked after it. There
were no young families and dogs to
clamber over the seats and scuff the
interior. He never hitched anything
to the tow hook. He never took it
off-road. When he wasn’t driving it,
he carefully parked it in his garage
instead of leaving it exposed to the
elements. And, most importantly of
all, he didn’t drive it very much.
she’s for sale
An average 1998 Discovery would
be expected to cover 12,000 miles a
year – which would mean 168,000
miles on the clock. Many, of course,
have done a lot more than that.
Discovery 1s with 200,000 or even
300,000 miles on the clock are
commonplace.
What’s rare are low-mileage
examples. And when R608 GJL’s
original owner eventually parted
with his pride and joy it had a mere
27,000 miles on the clock. That’s
an average of less than 2,000 miles
a year. But what makes R608 GJL
extra special is the fact that it is
immaculate, inside and out.
The good news is that you can
buy it, for R608 GJL is now in the
hands of Land Rover enthusiast and
specialist trader, Ted Andrews. A
fan of the green oval since boyhood,
even after spending a lifetime living
with Land Rovers, Ted, 36, was
staggered when he took delivery of
R608 GJL.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,”
he says. “It’s like getting in a time
machine and travelling back to the
day it left the factory. This vehicle is
immaculate.”
He’s right, too. This vehicle is
so immaculate, it even smells new.
Everything is original and looks just
like it did when it left the showroom.
The mats and carpets on the floor
look as though they’ve never seen a
pair of shoes. Round the back, the
spare wheel and tyre have never
been used. The original Goodyear
Eagle GT+4 road tyres on the four
wheels that have been used are only
part-worn. And the alloy wheels don’t
betray the hint of a scuff or scratch.
All this is hard to take. After all,
I’m a Discovery 1 fan myself, and
until today I was immensely proud of
my own 300Tdi, which is a couple
of years older. I’ve had it over six
years now and, with just 107,000
miles on the clock, it’s a low-mileage
vehicle in its own right. But unlike
R608 GJL it has led a very hard life
and its bodywork bears testament
to the bumps and scrapes that are
an inevitable part of life under my
ownership.
The biggest difference is the
overall tightness. There’s no
sloppiness in the steering or ³

wear of moving parts. And then
there’s the noise – or lack of it.
There aren’t any rattles or annoying
squeaks and even the engine is less
rattly. Oh yes, and the suspension
rides every bump and jolt in the road
perfectly. The experience takes me
back more than 15 years, to when
Land Rover lent me a new 300Tdi
Discovery for a month’s road test.
This really is just like driving a brand-
new model.
Beside me in the car, Ted is
grinning from ear to ear. “They drive
so well when they’re new, don’t
they?,” he says. It’s not something
you hear someone say very often
about a 14-year-old car.
“This is original down to the letter.
I simply can’t fault it,” says Ted.
“Apart from a couple of tiny paint
blisters, there isn’t even any rust,

Waxoyled from new, but I will Waxoyl
it again anyway. A vehicle this
special deserves to be looked after.”
Ted has run independent Land
Rover dealer, Purr Bright Ltd for
the last seven years from Osbaston
Lodge Farm, near Hinckley, on the
Leicestershire-Warwickshire border.
“We specialise in one-owner, low-
mileage cars and this is the ultimate
example,” he says, without a hint of
hyperbole.
“Last year I managed to get hold
of a silver five-door Discovery 1
with just 13,000 miles on the clock,
WorldMags.net
although it wasn’t in such good
condition as this one. I decided to
sell it on eBay and all the serious
enquiries came from abroad. It
eventually sold to an enthusiast from
Ireland, for £9,500. He told me that
although 300Tdi Discoverys were
very popular, the later Discoverys
had a bad reputation over there. In
rural Ireland, going to the nearest
Land Rover dealer can mean a 200-
mile round trip, which isn’t much
fun if things keep going wrong. But
a 300Tdi Discovery is much more
basic and can be serviced and
repaired at the local garage.
“I will be putting this one up for
sale at about £10,000 and I expect it
will probably go to Ireland or Holland.
I don’t know why, but there doesn’t
seem to be so much interest in low-
mileage Discovery 1s in the UK.”
Ted has an interest in all Land
Rovers, but especially older
examples. “I grew up with Land
Rovers,” he recalls. “My stepfather
drove a Range Rover and to me it
was the best thing ever. He also had
one of the very first One Ten County
Station Wagons.
“I became a Land Rover nut at
a very early age. My first car was a
1974 Series III – a white hard top,
which I bought at a farm sale.
“These days I drive a Range Rover
Classic, a very early 1971 Lincoln
Green three-door, with a 3.5 V8
petrol engine. But the biggest buzz
I get is from restoring an old Land
Rover to original condition. No

I spent a lot of time examining the 27,000-mile
Discovery and I can’t find a single fault
matter how old it is, I like to keep
as much of it original as possible.
That’s why I like to deal in one-
owner, low-mileage Land Rovers.
“Defenders are my bread and
butter. They are as popular as
ever and I have built up a good
reputation with local farmers.
“As a Land Rover dealer, my
biggest problem is that I don’t like
parting with them. I would keep
them all myself if I could afford to.
I don’t like selling them, but I have
to!”
He’s certainly going to have
trouble parting with the 27k
Discovery. I’ve spent an hour
examining it in close detail and I
can’t find a fault. The underside
is as immaculate as the rest and,
when Ted takes it up a rough farm
track for the photo shoot, I suspect
it is the first time this Land Rover
has experienced mud under the
rubber. The engine bay hasn’t been
steam-cleaned yet, but it is pristine:
no oily deposits, no muddy marks.
And, because it is a 300Tdi, there
is no silly plastic cover to stop you
seeing the engine and the other
mechanical bits.
Because it has spent most of
its life in a garage, the interior

upholstery hasn’t faded due to
exposure to the sun. Therefore
you get a taste of Land Rover’s
1990s fashion sense: part-leather
upholstery with the cloth bits
bearing multiple small Land Rover
logos. It looks as bad as it sounds.
No wonder they get Victoria
Beckham in these days to do the
soft furnishings.
If you want to see evidence of
the hard life most Discovery 1s
have led, examine the load bay at
the rear. This is where the average
owner throws items of furniture,
muddy dogs, building materials and
rubbish destined for the tip. The two
inward-facing ‘dicky’ seats would be
used to supplement the passenger-
carrying capacity in those far-off
days when parents regularly
endangered the lives of their small
children by letting them travel in
those precarious seats.
In the 27k Discovery, those seats
have never been used and the load
bay carpet looks as though it has
never been disturbed. Likewise the
ill-designed retractable load cover,
which is as good as the day it left
the factory. On most old Discoverys
(mine included) they ceased to
function several years ago.
Let’s just say this is the best
300Tdi Discovery I have seen for
well over a decade. And if you’ve
got ten grand to spare it could be
yours – as long as you can
persuade Ted to part with it. LRM

THERE’S A true sense of Rover
history about the Association of
Land Rover Clubs’ National Rally
which is in fact the UK’s longest
running annual 4x4 event and this
year’s was the 56th.
For the Royal Jubilee
celebrations, the Vale of Belvoir
was like a huge themed celebration
zone with all the surrounding
villages decked out in Union flags,
a massive outpouring of emotion
in commemoration of Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth’s 60 years on
the throne. Belvoir Castle near
Grantham was an inspired choice;
pronounced ‘beaver’ by the locals,
it offers acres of fine parks set
among the game-rich countryside
of the Duke of Rutland’s vast
estate. Applications from many
of the 39 ALRC registered clubs
flooded in for this annual Land
Rover extravaganza, resulting in
a very healthy entry of 31 for the
TYRO (try your Rover out) trials,
170 RTV (road taxed vehicle), 180
CCV (cross country vehicle), nine
for the team recovery, 77 for comp
safari, and six for the concours
d’elegance.
I could hardly wait for the team
recovery event, always totally
exciting to watch and a pure blast
to do. From Mexican waves to cries
of support for their teams when
they appeared, the cross dressing
compere kept the audience alive
and kicking through it all – and all
included breakdowns, recovery
ropes snapping, roll overs in deep
muddy pits and Land Rovers
straining to climb up almost
impossible bankings. Regular cries
from the crowd of “shorten the
rope!” gave teams mired in the pits
a clue, not always followed until
everything else had been tried first.
It has to be one of the big fun
events of any National; each team
had a master plan that didn’t always
run to schedule but the atmosphere
was superb, from the marshals
to the crowds packing the safety
barriers beside the recovery circuit.
taxing trials
Saturday was also RTV (road taxed
vehicle) trials time. Some super
sections were on offer at Belvoir
ranging from a straightforward
romp through the canes with a
twist at the very last, to others on
the hillsides featuring steep tyre-
scrabbling climbs round vast trees
and up through narrow trails in the
forest, or round a tall pine or two
before plunging back down to more
roller-coaster sections.
Hants and Berks club competitor
David Lindsay from Sandhurst in
Berkshire enjoyed it all hugely.
Do you do this often, I asked?
Dave replied, “yes, I try and get
out every month with the club, but
unfortunately due to my yachting
profession sometimes I only
manage about six times a year, but
do my best to take the time off for
the Nationals. I’ve only been doing
it about four years, but I love it, it’s
such a great motorsport. I started
off doing playdays in a 90 I built out
of bits and I then got into trialling
with the AWDC but didn’t enjoy it
as much.
“I know nothing about Land
Rovers, and my hobby costs me
about £1,000 a year, it’s such a
great cheap form of motorsport.”.
Dave ended up highest placed
Hants and Berks competitor in the
RTV in 22nd overall.
It was well into the evening ³

³ before the final results were decided
by a run-off at special section 13,
kept in reserve exclusively for this
eventuality – they thought ahead,
these planners. The three finalists

we’re genetically engineered for
this weather” – but the on the ball
officials had to rest sections at very
short notice and thanks to their hard
work, matters proceeded smoothly.
Heading up the main track leading
to the CCV sections 2-12, pulses
of brown water running down the
hillsides made it harder for the
diamond shod triallers getting to
grips on the slippery hillsides, but
once among the upper sections
and tree clad tortuous layouts, most
made the best of it – and the best of
it was really hard.
TYRO trials took place on an open

with them again on Sunday tackling
three sections on a sloping woodland
and open parkland site, made more
difficult by canes set round mature
trees and a series of undulations
over the field with a bogie area at the
bottom of the slope on section three.
As I watched the TYROs giving
it their best shot, a convoy passed
by in the rain on a non-damaging
scenic off-road drive over forest
tracks and open areas organised by
the Discovery Owners Club; they
blended in well as part of the busy

 RECORD London to Cape Town
WE WERE now up against it
with our Sudanese-Ethiopian border
crossing putting us back by four and
a half hours. The pressure was on to
get back on schedule. Chris took the
wheel and headed south up and over
the Ethiopian Highlands. The stark
contrast between Sudan’s sandy
deserts and sweltering heat to the
lush green land with trees, clouds,
water and a moderate temperature of
28°C was very welcoming. The roads
were in fantastic condition and we set
a good pace.
For some reason I had thought that
Ethiopia was barren and devoid of
water, hence the many famines they
have experienced over the years. The
reality though is that it’s is a lush,
fertile land that looked more than
capable of supporting its people.
Saturday 23 October
As darkness fell, we crossed the
East African Rift Valley, plummeting
6,000ft to the bottom of the gorge,
before the hard climb out the
other side. At the summit, we took
advantage of a top-up at a petrol
station. Ominously, the attendant
took us to one side and warned us
of travelling at night due to armed
hijackers, even asking us how many
times we had been held up already?
Thankfully none, but it made us very
wary.
As is sensible, we carried paper
maps, but as good as they were, they
were no match for our Garmin sat

later and we were driving out the

We continued on, swapping seats
trying to sleep when in the back. By
3am our concentration waned so we
cut back the shifts to two hours, which
helped the driver but not the sleeper.
As daylight broke we had renewed
energy and concentration so reverted
back to four-hour shifts, which meant a
good sleep for all of us in turn.

shut. While I dealt with our passports
at the immigration office, unbeknown
to us, the customs officer had
decided to lock up early for the night.
We wouldn’t be able to leave Ethiopia
now until 7am the next morning. It
was a disaster.
The locals spoke good English
and Moyale wasn’t the biggest town
on the planet, so I formed a posse to
look for the errant official. After half an
hour of frantic searching, the customs
officer was found in a local bar.
After some gentle ‘financial’
persuasion, the officer jumped in the
Land Rover where I drove him back
to his office. A quick stamp of the
Carnet, a discreet wad of cash thrust
into his hand and we were off. It was
too close.
Kenya (19:15)
We sped over the bridge and pulled
up outside the Kenyan customs and
immigration office. I had been warned
that the ‘road to hell’ that we were
about to embark upon used to be
regularly attacked by armed bandits
but I’d been unreliably informed that
it was now clear. It was getting dark
and on reporting to the police station,
the corporal on duty refused to let
us travel alone. The prospect of a 12
hour delay until the next morning was
very real.
I pulled Corporal ‘William’ to one
side for another ‘financial’ chat and
after some haggling, it was decided
that we would be accompanied by
two armed Kenyan policeman in an
‘overtime’ capacity. These were duly
volunteered and at 8.15pm, Adan and
Syrus with their automatic rifles at
hand, climbed into our Land Rover.
The Moyale to Isiolo ‘road’ was the
most challenging part of the entire
10,000 mile journey. 320 miles of the

that broke down. With nearly 200kg
of extra weight on board, we made
our way into the darkness, nervous as
to what the night would bring.
Progress at first was good, as I
weaved along the track, dodging
rocks and pot-holes. Our security
guard Adan who was sitting in the
front suddenly gestured to me to stop
and switch on the spotlights. There
in the gloom was a shadowy figure.
Syrus jumped out of the back and
cocked his weapon – we’d only
been travelling for five minutes.
It was just a local man walking
home, but it was quite clear that our
minders weren’t going to take any
chances.
The pounding on the vehicle was
relentless. We swapped drivers
every couple of hours, and with
only three seats in the Discovery,
the remaining two team mates
huddled together in the back. After
four hours we reached a military
checkpoint in the desert scrub, a
safe haven from bandits and parked
up for a few minutes to share our
Wayfayrer meals with our guards.
Chris took the wheel under a
clear star filled sky. It took a lot of
concentration to negotiate a path
through the track, swapping ruts to
find the smoothest, quickest path.
He was trying to make up time, but
travelling too fast he hit a series of
large potholes.
Our heads grew heavy and our
eyes dim, but we couldn’t stop for
the night. We just had to keep on
plodding. The Landy accelerated,

and then suddenly revert back to a
sea of angular boulders, ranging from
those the size of your fist to as big as
a car.
The rocks were slowly replaced
by sand and then red mud as we
climbed up to Marsabit and we
sighed a relief that we would be able
to finally get out of second gear. Our
prayers were not answered though,
as low cloud rolled in obscuring our
view and the heavens opened, the
red mud became slippery and our
speed reduced even further.
The sunrise made it easier to
cope with the terrain and finally the
clouds lifted to reveal a glimpse of
sunshine. Rocks and mud though
were replaced by corrugated gravel,
which gave us two choices – slowly,
where the vehicle is shaken to pieces,
or fast where you literally float across
the surface.

smoothed out. Steve warned us not
to switch ruts which could throw the
vehicle into a fatal roll.
To break the monotony, we would
stop, pile out, stretch, eat, swap
drivers and pile back in again, bracing
ourselves against the sides for the
next pounding to begin. Imagine
being a hamster, with four other
hamsters in a small plastic box, which
was then put inside a tumble dryer.
Sunday 24th October
We bid farewell to Adan and Syrus
and trucked on towards Nairobi.
Fortunately, there was only one
unplanned stop during our three hour
drive to the capital, a Wayfayrer bag
exploded due to the reduction in air
pressure as we climbed up the side
of a cloud covered Mount Kenya –
chicken dopiaza all over the engine.
Entering Nairobi, Chris had arranged
for a friend of his, Steph, with
husband Tony, to escort us through
the city. As planned, they met us on
the outskirts of the capital, ready to
lead us out onto the Tanzania road.

My original plan was that we would
stay on the main road and head south
to Namanga, a 24-hour border post.
Tony though, who lives and works in
Nairobi suggested a better route and
crossing point into Tanzania to avoid
heavy congestion on the Namanga
road. Rather than head due south,
we should follow the main road south
east for Mombassa, then turn right
for Amboseli National Park and the

POWER Bob and Ramilla take a spin in Jordan, soaking up the countryside and making
the most of the Freelander 2’s 230bhp engine Words and Photos by Bob Morrison

³
64 August 2012 LAND ROVER monthly WorldMags.net
I LOVE Jordan, the place not the
person, as it is not only one of the
most tolerant and liberal parts
of the Arab world but it is also a
beautiful country. Part of what many
Christians consider to be the Holy
Land, scholars believe that John
the Baptist christened Jesus Christ
at Bethany on the east bank of the
Jordan River, it is steeped in history
back to pre-biblical times.
This spring I visited the country
to cover the biannual Special
Operations Forces Expo (SOFEX)
and while there I grabbed the
opportunity to borrow a Rest of
World specification Freelander
2, known as the LR2 overseas,
powered by the 3.2 litre Ford SI6
straight-six engine as used in many
Volvo saloon and SUV models,
from Amman-based distributors Al
Mahmoudia. In the UK and Europe
we are more used to the Freelander
2 with the 2.2litre Td4 diesel,
which produces 150hp, whereas
in countries where petrol engines
are more common, the 230bhp
powerplant makes the LR2 a very
different driving experience.
stretching its legs
On my first visit to the region in
2004 I visited the impressive Greco-
Roman ruins of Gerasa, next to
the modern city of Jerash and less
than 40 kilometres north of Amman,
which is said to be one of the most
important and best preserved
Roman cities in the Middle East.
Mostly destroyed by a major
earthquake in the 8th Century and
plagued by subsequent disasters,
the city was pretty much forgotten
until the start of the 19th Century
when archaeologists realised its
worth.
My model friend Ramilla, who I
did not meet until 2005, has seen
my photographs of Gerasa many
times and often expressed an
interest in visiting the city, so when
a few days before my departure she
had no modelling jobs lined up she
decided to grab a last minute flight
and join me for three days in the
middle of my trip to both help as my
assistant during the hectic opening
day of SOFEX and see some of this
beautiful country.
Amman, like any capital city or,
for that matter, any major city I have
visited in the Near East, is a bit of
a motorists’ nightmare and much
though I revel in the challenge of
playing Russian roulette with five
rows of traffic trying to share a three-
lane carriageway, I was glad for
the excuse to take the LR2 out into
the countryside. First thing on the
day before SOFEX we presented
Ramilla’s credentials and registered
her with the organisers then we
headed west out of the metropolis,
over the edge of the 2,500ft
plateau which drops down to the
River Jordan, for a spot of gentle
off-roading and an opportunity to
soak up the rural beauty of this
remarkable land, which in spring
is much more verdant than one
might expect despite the daytime
temperature being well into the 30s.
To the east of the capital the
land quickly turns to desert but to
the west it is more Mediterranean
in nature, with olive groves and
vineyards in abundance; although
an Arab country Jordan produces
some truly excellent red wine. Little
more than ten kilometres from the
bustling centre of Amman, where the
major Zahran Street artery meets
the Airport Roundabout it reduces
from urban motorway into the aptly
named country road Wadi al Seer, or
Valley of Orchards, and after just a
few more kilometres the tarmac ends
in a myriad of rough graded dusty
tracks between hamlets suitable for
leisurely Land Rover exploration.

occasional off-roader the ability to

would baulk at. However, that was
not the purpose of this trip.
fast fleet
On-road the Freelander 2 is no
slouch either, but with that straight
six petrol engine under the bonnet
the RoW spec LR2 is a totally
different beast… and with petrol in
Jordan less than 75p a litre I have to
admit I did not worry too much about
making that engine purr.
Best smile of the trip came when
gently cruising past slow commercial
traffic on the final long uphill slog
back to Amman on our return from
Gerasa and an impatient Merc driver
tried to park himself on our back
bumper. A blip of the throttle left
him standing and much as he tried
he simply could not catch up as we
powered off to the top of the long
climb.
Unfortunately we did not really
have sufficient time to take in enough
of this beautiful country on this short
trip, but with both BMI and EasyJet
offering very good prices from
London in early and late season I
suspect it will not be too long before
we head back. Ramilla has not yet
visited Petra, about three hours drive
south of Amman and she now has
her sights firmly set on that. I wonder
what the chances are of
borrowing an LR4 next time? LRM

TECHNOFILE by Lindsay Porter
POWER BROKING
FIRST, A NOTE about why so-called
‘porting and polishing’ of cylinder heads is
not included here. Petrol engines are much
more ‘revvy’ than diesel engines and respond
well to having the cylinder heads polished to
improve gas flow. However, it’s a relatively
arcane and complex business about which
whole books have been written. And in any
case, the diesel engines covered in this article
are much easier and more cost-effective to
tune by other means, as shown here.
PICTURE 1 We’ve shown in an earlier
edition of LRM how to fit a full-sized
intercooler from Allard Turbo Sport and
here’s Lloyd Allard making the silicone hose
connections.
PICTURE 2 In the header picture, Ian
Baughan of IRB developments holds up a
standard Defender Puma engine’s intercooler
in front of this, a full-sized IRB Developments’
version, fitted to the vehicle. Just changing
the standard intercooler for a regular-sized,
aluminium version will make a big difference
to performance while switching to a full-sized
intercooler produces another leap forward.
AIR FILTERS
PICTURE 3 Don’t overlook the fact that a
more efficient air filter will allow air to flow
more easily into the engine. This is a Puma
engine’s version.
74 August 2012 LAND ROVER monthly
So, you want your diesel-powered Land Rover to run more
efficiently? Lindsay looks at ways of achieving better power,
performance and economy from your Defender, Disco or Rangie
PICTURE 4 There is a K&N high flow
air filter fitted to the standard 300Tdi filter
housing on my Defender. Even if you don’t
notice a power improvement, the fact that
you don’t need to change your air filter ever
again, according to the manufacturers,
just to clean it at 50,000 miles (or less in
especially dusty conditions) makes the K&N
filter one of my must-haves.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE
PICTURE 5 Getting rid of the EGR
valve is a simple and relatively inexpensive
way of improving your Defender engine’s
performance. This is one of the kits
available from Allard Turbo Sport and here
is their unparalleled advice on why you
should consider replacing your EGR valve.
“All EGR systems reduce air flow,
combustion efficiency and consequently
engine power. The exhaust gas re-
circulation system is an attempt to reduce
the level of nitrous oxide being emitted
through the exhaust system. To achieve
this, a proportion of the exhaust gas is
diverted by the EGR valve unit (only at
part load and light load conditions – at full
throttle the vehicle ECU will tell the EGR to
WorldMags.net
close – it is also engine coolant temperature
dictated – too hot or cold and EGR will stay
closed), from the exhaust manifold to the inlet
manifold, to mix with the inducted charge.
The EGR system also helps reduce diesel
knock by slowing down the combustion
process – but on a Land Rover diesel engine
you probably won’t notice the difference.
“The system works well as far as reducing
the oxides of the nitrogen on a new engine,
but in general on older engines of over, say,
two years (35,000 miles), the effectiveness
is compromised by the sludge build up
inside the inlet manifold. This further reduces
engine performance and airflow, which in turn
reduces combustion efficiency and increases
other unwanted emissions, principally C02
and particulate emission.
“The sludge is a combination of oil and
exhaust emission (soot) meeting at the
EGR valve inlet, the oil can be found leaking
from the front bearing of the turbocharger
(compressor side) but mainly from the
breather system which is directly connected
into the induction tube between the air filter
and turbocharger on a Tdi engine. Many
people think that simply replacing an EGR
valve will solve the problem; well that’s

1 2
4 5
7 8
simply not the case. This is because the
turbo bearings continue to wear and, with
the breather system left connected, the
engine will continue to discharge oil into the
turbocharger inlet, which then leads into the
inlet manifold/EGR valve.
“The EGR valve itself is generally a reliable
part and can last the life of the engine. The
only way of solving the problem of sludge
build up is to ultimately renew the turbo (if
it has started to leak oil) and fit a separate
engine breather system.
“From the point of view of obtaining
optimum power output, it is obviously
detrimental to introduce hot exhaust into the
inlet manifold, even if this is only under light
load conditions. Any associated pipe work
restrictions also contribute to this. Also, on
older engines, there are increasing failures
with leakages from the EGR valve and to
replace one can cost more than a ‘removal’ kit.
“However, leaving a failed EGR valve on an
engine will also lead to massively increased
engine bore wear.
“A better alternative to the EGR System
is to fit an EGR valve replacement kit for
improved performance, thermal efficiency,

will:
Q Get rid of all the problems associated
with faulty or leaking EGR (exhaust gas
recirculation) system.
Q Eliminate tar and sediment build up inside
inlet manifold, which in turn reduces air

Q Improve thermal efficiency, by reducing
heat build-up in the inlet manifold.
Q All these benefits combine to
give improvements in overall fuel
consumption and performance with a
reduction in exhaust smoke.”

TD5 EGR SYSTEMS
TWO TYPES of EGR system have been fitted
to Td5s – these are the fitting procedures.
All versions: Remove the three bolts holding
the engine acoustic cover in place. Take out
the four screws and remove the cooling fan
cowl.Disconnect the vacuum hose from the
EGR valve and blank off. Ideally, there will be a
blanking plug supplied with the kit.
Later type, known as EU3, from 2001-2006:
There are two vacuum hoses to/from the EGR
valve. Cable tie the redundant vacuum hose/s
neatly in place after you’ve finished the job –
hoses will be removed if done with a proper kit.
Remove the 4x6mm bolts attaching the EGR
valve to the inlet manifold. (8mm head). Detach
the jubilee clip holding the engine air intake
hose and remove it from the EGR valve.
Early type, known as EU2, from 1998-
2001: Detach the 2x8mm bolts from the EGR
recirculation pipe, where it fastens to the front of
the cylinder head and remove the 2x5mm Allen
bolts securing it to the manifold.
Important Note: Especially with older engines,
there is a real risk of at least one of the 2x5mm
Allen bolts shearing off when trying to undo.
To reduce the risk:
Q Only work when the engine (and thus the
exhaust manifold) is cold.
Q Apply copious amounts of releasing oil,
preferably a full day before attempting to
undo them.
Q Apply localised heat using a heat gun to help
break the sealed thread.

C. Stage 3 Td5 turbocharger. ‘Race’

is larger and there is very slightly more
turbo lag.
D. Stage 2 Td5 turbocharger. Provides a

(Theoretically there is a Stage 1 version
that provides greater smoothness but no
real power gain.)
E. Upgraded TDCi (Puma) turbocharger.

PICTURE 12 Incidentally, the 200Tdi’s
turbocharger can also be fitted to the
earlier turbo diesel engines but, according
to Ian Baughan, it’s a really bad idea
because the engine would be highly likely
to blow up. These are the standard units,
from 200Tdi to TDCi, reading from left to
right. IRB’s upgraded turbochargers are
a direct replacements for the standard
turbocharger (the only change required
on some turbos is a new oil feed pipe –
supplied as part of the kit)

EU3 Engines, 2001-2006: The EGR

recirculation pipe will probably be fitted with a
heat exchanger. If so:
1. Remove the pipes but leave the heat
exchanger in place. Your supplier should
provide to additional blanks to seal it off.
2. There will be another vacuum pipe running
to an additional actuator on the side of the
EGR valve body. As with the other vacuum
pipe/s described earlier, this must be
blanked off.

be disconnected electrically their black

recognise them.
4. Alternatively you can completely remove
the EGR electronic modulator assembly
but if you do so you must fit a new pipe
without a T-piece in it. They are available
from Land Rover dealers. Their part
numbers are ANR6916 (RHD vehicles) or
SQB103360 (LHD vehicles).
The other option is to use the EGR removal
kit from IRB Developments, who have had
a purpose made blanking cap moulded –
shown in Picture 9. The IRB kit also comes
with a blanking cap for the air box (Td5 also
has a pipe from the air filter to the solenoid

There are two main reasons for fitting
modified exhaust. One is to fit stainless

‘performance’ exhaust.

Incidentally, the blades on the turbo

The geometry of the blades on the turbo is
sometimes referred to as its ‘aspect ratio’,

the effect of making the turbo either smaller

is done because the optimum aspect ratio

COOL AND THE GANG

THERE WAS a time when rock stars’
Rolls Royces were the only vehicles sporting
fridges or chiller cabinets. But all that changed
when camper vans and caravans increased in
popularity. And these days, of course, many
Land Rover owners think nothing of crossing
the Sahara desert in their pride and joy. In
those conditions a fridge isn’t a luxury; it’s an
essential to avoid starvation or food poisoning!
But what are your options if you just want to
keep your sandwiches and drinks cool for the
day, without spending a fortune?
The obvious answer is a cool box. But in a
vehicle, where there’s a constant supply of 12
volts from the cigarette lighter, it makes more
sense to use a powered box than faff about
with ice packs. Or does it?
Powered cool boxes use, what’s often
referred to as, a thermoelectric cell. Also
known as a Peltier Cell. The current causes all
the heat to go to one side of the cell, leaving
one side hot and the other cold. In a powered
cool box, a fan passes external air over the
hot side, to keep it cool, while another fan
circulates internal air over the cool side to
continually reduce the internal temperature.
While Peltier Cells are reliable and effective,
they do have one drawback: they’re not very
efficient. While they only take a similar level
of current to an expedition fridge, the level of
cooling produced is far less. This means, in
some cases, the cell is active all the time just to
maintain temperature. Whereas, in a fridge, the
compressor only tends to operate occasionally.
WHAT’S IMPORTANT?
COOLING: The most important
property of any cool box is how
effectively it chills its inner compartment
down. And while this is largely decided
by the size and power of the Peltier cell,
the thermal properties of the box itself
RECOMMENDED
also play a part. Better insulated boxes
also remain cooler for longer when un-
powered – handy if you need to move
the box away from the vehicle.
MOBICOOL G26
VERSATILITY: Most of the time, cool
boxes are powered by a 12volt cigarette
lighter socket. But being able to plug
one into the mains is a major advantage.
If camping, hooking the box to the
mains maintains its coolness without
hammering your Land Rover’s battery.
CONSUMPTION: Thermostats and
economy modes – which reduce
output, once the box and its contents
are chilled – are desirable because
they seriously cut back electrical
consumption.
USABILITY: A common complaint of
all cool boxes is that some aren’t tall
enough to take large bottles. Another
annoying niggle is that many have
excessively short power leads. Finally,
although all cool boxes become heavy
when loaded with food and drink, the
lighter they are to start with, the less
tiring they are to carry.
COMMENT: The label boasts about
Mobicool’s “double fan” system, as used
in this box. And we have to say, it pulls off
an impressive double whammy: electrical
current draw was around 25 per cent less
than comparable models, even though
the unit managed to drag its internal
temperature down to 12°C in an hour. We
have no doubt that, if left, the unit would
drop to 20°C below ambient, as claimed.
Electrics aside, this box seemed better
made and designed than most. A large
dimple in the lid’s underside allowed us to
stash one large pop bottle inside. We like
the 2.4m long lead and light weight.

THE TESTS
COOLING: We left each cool box open,
for an hour, in a room continually heated
to 27°C. We then closed them, ran them
for an hour, and checked how cool each
one had become. We then left them
unpowered for another hour, still at 27°C,
to see how well the insulation prevented

a further two points are for grabs for boxes

THE CASE FOR A YETI
IF, LIKE us, your experience of standard
un-powered cool boxes is lukewarm food
and drink, then it’s not hard to see the
benefits of powered boxes. However, high
specification unpowered boxes - such as
those from Icey-Tek and Yeti – are a whole
different matter. We were able to test a 23
litre Yeti Roadie, from www.coolboxesuk.
co.uk (01872 865900), alongside the
powered models, and the results are
extremely impressive. Using an ice-pack,
chilled for 24 hours in a freezer, the Yeti’s
internal temperature tumbled down to 2°C
in our 27°C room. After another hour, the
temperature was still around 3°C. And,
after 24 hours, in the same conditions,
the temperature still only crept up to 8°C.
As the Yeti easily outperformed all of the
Peltier based powered boxes, is it perhaps
a better solution?
Well, on the bright side, unpowered
boxes are fully portable because they
don’t need a power supply. However, they
don’t have the ability to ‘get ahead again’,
if something warm is placed inside them.
And, because of the insulation and tough
build, they tend to be heavier and dearer.
As an example the Yeti shown weighs in at
7kg, and costs £119.95.
Boxes like these are well worth
considering on expeditions too. Using
ice packs, chilled in the main fridge, they
add considerable cold storage volume at
a much lower cost than a second fridge.
And, of course, you can take them with you.

that, the unit caters for 12v, 24v,

even be used as a warmer. Despite
the handle, the TC21’s 7Kg weight
rather limits use as a standard

we can’t help wonder, in light of our

THE LRM VERDICT
WAECO’S RECOMMENDED Tropicool
TC21 is undoubtedly the best
performing cool box here, in terms of
the temperatures it can reach below
ambient, the reduced levels of current it
draws, and its ability to stay cool when
the power’s turned off. But the almost
£175 price tag will deter all but the
keenest and, in reality, it’s not the nicest
‘box to move around because it’s simply
too heavy.
In contrast, Waeco’s BordBar AS-25
is light, very portable, yet still impressive
thermally. At almost £85, it’s a good bit
dearer than many powered cool boxes.
But we feel it justifies its price, and we
have no hesitation awarding it the Best
Buy. Although more basic, Mobicool’s
Recommended G26 is another good
performer thermally and electrically.
Overall it’s well designed and well
made, despite its very keen price.
Our final award, the Best Budget
Buy, goes to Mobicool’s U26. It’s not
the cheapest product here, but it costs
noticeably less than many brands
despite very similar performance to the
G26.

YOU BIG SOFTIE

WHENEVER WE go to an LRM show,
we try to fit some ‘stuff’ to whichever of my
vehicles is undergoing a makeover at the
time. At a past show, I decided it was time to
fit the Land Rover optional accessory, front
protection bar I’d picked up for a bargain
price at another LRM show, a couple of
years earlier. So ace mechanic Dave got
stuck in, helpfully assisted by Jake who lent
an extremely useful pair of hands.
The Land Rover front protection bar is
reasonably strong and is made of foam with
a good memory, so if it’s hit or deformed,
it will (within reason) revert to its former
shape. Which is certainly not true of
chromed or stainless steel tubular bars,
which stay dinged if you give them a clout.
These original Land Rover accessories
bars are, at the time of writing, not available
but second-hand ones can be found on
84 August 2012 LAND ROVER monthly
auction sites and classified ads. Although
they are generally much easier to fit, some
of this info will be applicable to the fitting
of any bull bar, especially if you want to fix
it to your front wings, using the method
shown here.
PICTURE 1 These are the individual
components of the soft, polyurethane
protection bar. There is also a version
available that comprises just the A-bar
centre section without the wrap-around
‘wings’. There are bars for Defenders with
or without air conditioning (the latter have
a larger nose at the grille) and, as you
would expect, the Land Rover kit is very
comprehensive with well-illustrated fitting
instructions.

the first job was to remove the grille. But

okay? We’ll see. The fixing kit (inset) is, at
the time of writing, available as a separate
item from some suppliers, though it’s
surprisingly expensive.
PICTURE 3 These two brackets make
fitting the A-bar really easy and versions
could be fabricated to fit other bull bars, I
would have thought.

THE POWER
OF ICE Removing layer upon layer of

more time consuming parts
of Land Rover restoration.
We take a look at an
alternative solution

TWO YEARS into the restoration of
my 1949 80" Land Rover and the chassis,
bulkhead and running gear have been
completed. The tattered collection of body
panels that I had been ignoring for several
months were increasingly becoming a priority
and my thoughts recently turned to the
preparation of the body for painting.
The paint was the usual mess that many
old Land Rovers find themselves in. In places
it had several layers of paint, one layer looked
like it might be emulsion and a few coats had
clearly been brush painted. It really needed to
be taken back to the bare metal.
Over the years I have prepared my various
Land Rovers for painting in either one of two
ways; either giving them a sand down with a
double-action sander then painting over the
old paint if the condition of it allowed. When
doing this I found it wise to use a special
‘barrier coat’ of paint to stop any reaction with
the older paint underneath. Alternatively, if the
old paint was too thick to add another coat,
there was damage, cracking, or a better job
needed doing other than a quick ‘spruce up’,
chemical paint stripper was used.
Sanding down older layers of paint has
its disadvantages. Firstly, it is messy, time
consuming and the risk of breathing in some
nasty dust is quite high. Even when a barrier

coat of paint is used there is still the risk of
old layers of paint reacting with the newly
applied layers meaning the whole job has to
be done again.
Stripping with a chemical paint stripper like
Nitromors is also not only time-consuming,
but it is messy and hazardous to health.
Where the stripper reacts with paint, the
resultant reaction can cause burns to skin
and the fumes given off are noxious.
so what are the alternatives?
While sand blasting is perfect for cleaning
the steel parts on Land Rovers and
perhaps the best way of cleaning years
of accumulated muck, rust and paint from
axles, chassis and bulkheads, it is not
recommended on aluminium panels for a
number of reasons. The blast media, typically
sand, is heavy and so requires a lot of air
pressure to carry it. The high velocity of the
blast media together with its highly abrasive
characteristics, make it very aggressive on
aluminium, leading to a very rough finish and
the high air pressure required can deform
panels. Also, a build up of friction-induced
heat on the panel and the ‘hammering action’
of the media itself can also lead to further
panel deformation.
Soda blasting has become popular in

recent years as it is very well suited to
thinner body panels and to aluminium in
particular. The reason for this is that it is far
less abrasive than many of the traditional
media used in blasting. In the same way as
other blast media are blown at high pressure
onto the surface to be stripped, sodium
bicarbonate is used.
Sodium Bicarbonate (also known as
baking soda) is an extremely ‘friable’ material
that has micro-fragmentation on impact,
literally exploding away surface materials
with virtually no damage to the substrate.
Considered to be a non-destructive method
of cleaning it was apparently used to restore
parts of the Statue of Liberty in the late
1980s.
Its low-abrasion qualities mean that the
blast nozzle is not considered a typical wear
part. Another advantage of soda blasting is
that it also deodorises as it cleans; handy for
those ex-farm vehicles or ones with mildewed
interiors.
There are some down sides to soda
blasting though. The soda itself leaves a thin
coating on the blasted surface which will
need washing off before paint is applied.
The soda also accumulates and can give
the appearance of a localised ‘snow storm’
around the cleaning area.
Sitting pretty; before and after on the 80’s thickly-

Another technique, and one that is very
new, certainly in the old car world, is that of
dry ice blasting and this is the method that I
chose to strip my 80". By sheer coincidence
a timely advert in my local paper proclaimed
the services of Heritage Dry Ice Blasting at
Great Dunmow.
ice to meet you
Otherwise known as ‘cryogenic cleaning’,
dry ice blasting involves the use of carbon
dioxide in solid ‘pelleted’ ice form being
propelled at speed onto the surface. At
-76°C the cold embrittles the surface and
helps remove the paint (or contaminant)
and as the dry ice turns back into gas the
expansion releases the coating from the
surface. The dry ice simply disappears back
to gas and being heavier than air the CO2
falls to the ground taking any contaminant
with it.
Because the dry ice pellets turn into gas
there is very little mess, even the paint and
dirt that has come from the surface is hard to
see on the floor and it certainly does not build
up in any discernible quantity. Because of the
non-abrasive nature of dry ice blasting and
the lack of mess, the process has become

buildings and it is widely used for stripping
the paint from ancient timbers.
The company that I had chosen came to
me and worked from the yard. Equipment
consisted of a very special blast unit into
which the pelleted ice was tipped, a bucketful
at a time. A large compressor provided
the air and electricity required so the unit
was completely self-contained. Progress
was generally quite fast on the aluminium
panels on my 80. That said there are a lot
of surfaces to clean with a complete Series
One body and so around eight or nine hours
were required to complete the job. Progress
over most areas was reasonably fast, the
lance leaving beautiful clean aluminium as it
passed. In some places bare metal could not
be found, such as the tailgate which left fine
traces of etch primer. I can only assume that
this was a later replacement part and that the
etch primer had done its job of actually eating
into the alloy. In these areas a light going over
with a ‘Scotch Brite’ soon removed it.
The process is also safe to use over
galvanised cappings and cleans them
perfectly without brightening them. On
vehicles where retaining patina is important
they can be cleaned without fear of making
things look ‘too new’. It is also safe on glass
and rubber and other fragile parts such as
carburettors and around wiring.
One observation I made on the Land
Rover’s aluminium panels as they were
cleaned is that the icy cold blast actually
seems to ‘stiffen’ the panel a bit and further
reduces the chance of any panel deformation.
There is no water involved either, but a small
amount of condensation was noticed around
the immediate blast area.
I was also concerned as to the
environmental impact of the process, given
how nasty some stripping processes are
and Heritage were happy to answer my
questions. The use of carbon dioxide is
environmentally friendly as it is a bi-product
of an alternative manufacturing process and
is captured and recycled. By using solid,
pelleted CO2, no extra cleaning medium is
added to the process, and all that remains is
the contaminant being removed. The ice was
used at around 25kg/hour which compares
favourably to soda blasting.
excellent finish
The results speak for themselves and I am
really pleased with the lovely bare-metal finish
it has left. I am also impressed with how it
has cleaned the galvanised cappings without
the need to strip them from the vehicle.
Dry ice blasting is not a cheap option, but
it compares very well to other blast methods.
In fact, it compares almost identically to
soda blasting at around £900 ‘all-in’ for a
day’s work including all materials, labour and
delivery of the ice itself. If it sounds like a lot,
add up the cost of chemical stripper by the
gallon and several days of your own time.

PUMP PROBLEMS
THE FUEL pump on a Td5 Discovery is
mounted within the fuel tank at the rear of
the vehicle. It can be heard operating when
the ignition is switched on, building the fuel
pressure up to the maximum, prior to starting
the engine. It should make a good, constant,
smooth noise. If it is making any nasty strange
noises or no sound at all (as it was in this
case) then there are problems with the pump.
The engine may not run at all or be extremely
low on power.
PICTURE 1 Lifting the rear carpet from the
boot floor reveals a cover through which the
fuel pump is accessed. On the boot floor
there is a metal cover held down by six self-
tapping screws.
PICTURE 2 Removing the cover reveals
the electrical connection and four fuel pipes
connected to the pump. The electrical
connection is removed by pulling the plug

PICTURE 3 Each of the four fuel pipes is
undone, by squeezing the two side clips on
each and pulling the fuel pipe out at the same
time. The pipes should stay in the correct
order but note should be made of the colour
coding order just in case.

remaining dirt from falling off into the clean

the tank by a locking ring. This ring is removed
by tapping it anti-clockwise. It will turn about
half a rotation at the most, then it can be lifted
off and clear of the pump.
PICTURE 6 The fuel pump is then
withdrawn from the tank slowly, taking care
that nothing drops into the tank. It should
be easy to get the pump out, as it is spring
loaded to the bottom of the tank. Take care
with the fuel sender float, which is integral to
the pump and look out for fuel dripping out of
the pump unit.
PICTURE 7 The rubber gasket can be
re-used if you forget to order one – if it is in
good condition – and should be carefully
fitted to the new fuel pump. Then the new
pump is lowered into the fuel tank, all the time
taking care to get no dirt into the fuel and not
damaging the fuel float arm. Just like the old
pump, the new Britpart pump is spring-loaded
and it must be pushed home at the top of
the tank, while fitting the locking ring back in
place. The ring is tapped clockwise to lock it
too far and pop off again.
The fuel pipes are slotted back into their
plastic catches, taking note of the colour-
coded order - the different lengths help with
getting the order correct too – and check that
each is correctly locked in place.
Finally, the electrical connection is re-fitted.
The pump will make a few strange noises as
it primes itself, when the ignition is switched
on. It will then settle down to a normal smooth
whine. LRM

The rear tailgate had a few dents that need to be

´ The full set of brackets that I had lined
up for Pilgrim were in good condition and I
unwisely let them out of my possession, so
that an acquaintance could make copies
of them. I did so with the promise that they
would be shot blasted and galvanised, then
returned to me promptly.
However, not surprisingly, the most
unreliable Land Rover specialist in Ireland
let me down and I fear that I will never see
them again. Luckily I still had one of the
front brackets and a friend of mine – Robert
Kirkwood – who is probably the most
talented welder and fabricator in Ireland,
made me a pair of absolutely perfect copies
of the front bracket. These new brackets were
treated to a good coat of grey oxide paint and
then loosely bolted to the body crossmember.
At the rear, in the absence of my newly
galvanised brackets, I had to resort to fitting
a pair of temporary brackets. These had
quite a bit of corrosion evident, so I rubbed
them down as best I could and coated them
liberally with the grey oxide paint. They will
last quite a while I’m sure, but I will be on the
lookout for a good set to get galvanised to
last as long as the rest of the Land Rover.

two tubs – each with their own issues.

– but the underside mounting points had
been damaged. This was caused either by
corrosion, or by lack of care by the guy who

help me decide, the body shop man, Rodney
Dundee, kindly visited to assess the two
tubs. He was confident that he could repair
the panel-damaged tub on the proviso that I
would lose some of the characteristic rivets
on the side.
With the tub selection made, I duly
delivered the chosen one to Rodney’s yard
and sold the other one to Mr Fox from down
south, who had been waiting in the wings for
me to make up my mind.
With the HCPU tub, I delivered the rear
tailgate. Again there were two to choose
from. The one that came with the selected
tub had a few more dents in it, than the
early four-hinge one. And more importantly,
it was structurally more sound – there was
no looseness to the integrity of the frame,
whereas the other one had seen some heavy
use and was well worn and flexible.

firstly pulling out the worst of the dents

using a sliding body hammer. This device
has a self-tapping screw on one end, which
is turned into the centre of the dent. The
sliding hammer is swung along the main rod
to progressively pull the dent out. After the
sliding hammer is removed, a body hammer
of appropriate size is used to further dress
the dent out a best as possible, to keep the
amount of filler needed to a minimum.
Once all of the dented areas are buffed
to bare metal, a filler paste is applied to fill
the remaining dents in the panels. The filler
– commonly referred to as Isopon – is a two-
pack acrylic HS grey compound (HS being
high solid). Fibreglass can also be used in
areas of severe dents, but in the case of my
tub, filler was all that was needed. When dry
and hardened, the filled area is sanded down
to blend in smoothly with the bodywork. This
process is very time consuming – skill and
experience count for absolutely everything
here. If the job is done properly, the repair
will be completely undetectable after the
paintwork is finished.
Whereas an amateur job will always be
obvious. The surface of the sanded filler
is not smooth enough to apply primer and
finish paint to. If you run your fingers over
it, a difference can be felt when compared
with the sanded areas of existing paint. To

anything with a greater cam profile could end
up leaving me with an engine that would have
a rough idle and less than tractable for every
day driving.
There were a few final outstanding items
on the agenda before the engine could
finally find its way into the chassis – a new

new metal-toothed camshaft gear and chain

gears and also packed the new oil pump full

The only other requirement was to erect the

fit, and to avoid any damage, one of the exhaust

as we lowered the engine down and levelled it

The input shaft just wouldn’t go in.
We were about half an inch away and no

placing a large socket on the front pulley to see

Eventually, we got the engine far enough

The Ninety seemed to drive

The chassis had been replaced

bidding was less intense than I had
expected. There is nothing like this
to turn bidders away from a vehicle
for no real reason. It was knocked
down to me as a provisional sale
as it had not reached its reserve. I
went home disappointed.
The next morning I was part-way
through an MoT test when the
delivery truck from the auction
rolled on to the forecourt. The
driver said he had a delivery for
me and I told him to leave it in the
yard and drop the paperwork in
the office. When I had finished
the test I went to see what it
was and found an invoice for the
Ninety at my bid. The auction had
turned the provisional sale into a
full sale. I was both pleased and
apprehensive as my previous 90
purchase was turning into a bit of a
money pit.
The previous 90 purchase in
question was another County, but
in van form with a Td5 engine. I
had bought it knowing it needed
a couple of wings, some seat
cushions and a good clean and
had set the budget aside to do
this, but when driving it there was
not the performance or power that
there ought to be and it did not
take long to diagnose the turbo

were not moving.

might have seen if I could free them

do it while I went out.
The older Ninety from the
auction had started perfectly when
they went to load it on the lorry
and as it had petrol in it I decided
to use it as I was only going about
10 miles to pick up some bits. It
drove really well and they are quite
nippy with the 2.25 petrol engines.
It would not start though when I
had concluded my business, but
fortunately we were at a scrap
yard and they had a big booster
pack that I was able to borrow and
eventually the engine fired. I did
not make it all the way though as
it conked out about three miles
short. I had no phone, of course so
decided to walk as I would soon
get a lift from someone I knew.
lonely lanes
I must have picked a really quiet
time to walk home as almost
no-one passed by on the lanes and
no-one stopped, but at least it was
not raining as I had no coat. I was
really annoyed when I got back an
hour and a bit later. I was annoyed
with the Ninety, annoyed I had not
taken my phone, annoyed no-one
came looking for me and annoyed I
had not had my lunch. A sandwich
and coffee later my mood improved
and I took stock of the situation.
The apprentice had just finished
fitting the turbo to the newer Td5
90 and so we road tested it to the
stricken one, but the result was
not satisfactory as it had a bit of a
misfire every now and again. The
older one struck up first time as if
nothing had happened and drove
back perfectly.
Back at the workshop I opened
the bonnet and felt the ignition

hand. It might have a new chassis
and other bits but this mission

and over 25 years old.

to paint the roof and blow the

told an acquaintance I had it and
he was eager for some pictures
to send to a potential customer.
I took the pictures and had an
acceptable offer by return and it
was collected a few days later.
I had a customer for the Td5 as
well and had told him we had it in a
few days ago. He was now ringing
twice a day to see if he could come
and look at it. I told him it was in the
workshop being prepared for sale
but felt he might be cooling off a
bit and so suggested he came and
saw it as it lay.
It was not a pretty sight when
he came as the top was off the
engine and the apprentice was
standing on the bumper and
leaning deep into the engine bay
threading the new engine loom
into place. I showed him round
it a bit and he then popped out
of the workshop and came back
wearing overalls and carrying a

CLUTCH CONTROL Changing a clutch on a Td4 Freelander

is not a job for the faint hearted
Words by Steve Miller
Photography by Richard Streeton

LRM’S DEPUTY Advertising Manager,

Gemma O’Leary, reported to me one
1 morning that her Freelander had been 2
performing badly on her 35-mile commute
into work. She described that it felt down
on power and that the revs seemed too high
and would continue, unnecessarily, to rise
when in top gear from about 50mph. With
a raised eyebrow, I thought the worst – the
clutch.
A short test-drive up the road immediately
told me that the clutch was slipping. On
arriving back to the office I inspected
the clutch fluid level which was still on
maximum and I looked for any leaks around
the master cylinder. As there was nothing
visibly wrong, Gemma phoned her local
garage so that they could officially diagnose
the problem and quote for the repair.
To my surprise, the garage called
Gemma the next day and said that the fix
was simple, and that all was required was
a replacement master cylinder at a cost of
£120. The garage replaced it, test drove
the car and told her that her Freelander
drove perfectly well again. With the job
completed, she continued using the
Freelander for the rest of the week on her
daily 70-mile round trip.
It wasn’t long before Gemma realised
that the symptoms of the slipping clutch
hadn’t disappeared and she was soon back
to square one.

There was nothing else that could be
done. However, armed with the knowledge
that replacing a clutch on any Land Rover is
a fairly major and expensive job, questions
were soon asked as to whether it was
actually worth doing.
The dilemma was that Gemma’s 2003
Freelander Td4 with 104,000 miles on
the clock had a book price of just £2,700.
Comparatively, quotes for replacing the
clutch came in at around £1,200 inc VAT, so
Gemma would need to think long and hard
before committing a large chunk of the overall
value of the car to fixing it or, alternatively
go out and purchase another vehicle. With
everything else on the Freelander working
perfectly, the decision was made to plough
on with the clutch replacement. She booked
her Freelander in with Land Rover specialists,
Nene Overland of Peterborough (01733
380687) for the work.
Nene set to work
The Freelander had been allocated to
mechanic Nick and the apprentice Dieter for
the day and, and the whole job was estimated
to take around seven hours. Nick originally
trained with a Land Rover main dealer before
moving over to Nene Overland last year
and I could tell that this certainly wasn’t the
first time he’d undertaken the replacement
of a Freelander clutch, as he explained the
process to me.

PICTURE 1 No sooner had the Freelander
been reversed onto the four poster ramp, it
was raised to around half height to aid the
removal of both front wheels. Interestingly,
Nick started work from up top; he removed
the battery, its tray and some pipe work. He
said that unlike conventional Land Rovers
where the gearbox is located behind the
engine, the Freelander’s is much more
like a front wheel drive car and with this
configuration, the gearbox is bolted to the
side of the engine. Removing all of this now
will aid access to the gearbox mounts and
bellhousing later on.
PICTURE 2 The large belly pan was
removed exposing the engine and gearbox.
The use of these hydraulic stands helped

to keep everything in place. To remove the
gearbox, the engine needed to be lowered
a little. Quite a lot of items needed removing
just so access to the gearbox could be
made. Having witnessed gearboxes of other
Land Rovers being removed on people’s
driveways, I question whether a Freelander’s
would be possible without the use of a pit or
four poster ramps.

list was to remove the bottom ball joints in
readiness for the removal of the front sub-
frame assembly.

front subframe down, this ideally needed a
couple of people due to the weight and size.

added to the pile of parts removed from the
Freelander. I was starting to see now why this
job was allocated to take a whole day!
PICTURE 8 Dieter predicted the worst;
he needed to spray the next items due for
removal with some penetrating oil to help with
some stubborn nuts and bolts.

the oil from the intermediate reduction drive
(IRD) before a little more levering to remove
the unit. ´

the belly pan, front wishbones, driveshaft’s,

many more parts, a hydraulic stand was put in
place in readiness to support the gearbox.

up top, the bellhousing bolts were undone.

hands and a little bit of grunting, the gearbox
was lowered to the floor. A Freelander’s

of a few more bolts left to go.
PICTURE 19 It’s always good to see that
the diagnosis was right, when the clutch
plate is worn to this extent. It’s only when
you put the worn one next to the nice new,
shiny Valeo clutch supplied by Britpart can
it be seen.
PICTURES 20 & 21 The Freelander is
fitted with a dual mass flywheel (DMF).
Basically, the DMF is designed to eliminate
excessive transmission gear rattle, however,
the disadvantages of these is that they also
wear out, suffering from excess play. It’s
always advisable to replace these when
the clutch needs replacement. A genuine
Land Rover DMF costs in excess of £1,100
plus VAT which would prevent most people
with a Freelander of this age from doing it.

Although a cheaper, non-genuine alternative
is available, we opted for a solid flywheel
alternative offered as a conversion kit from
Britpart. There are some disadvantages to
this, mainly a slightly noisier transmission,
however, that was something Gemma
was prepared to live with when making a
substantial financial saving.

PICTURE 26: Question. How many
people does it take to fit a gearbox? With
a small alignment problem and a little head
scratching, the issue of the ill-fitting gearbox
was soon resolved with the help of some
other guys from the workshop. The next
process was to replace all of the parts taken
off and then road test the vehicle.

Having seen the guys at Nene Overland work
´ for the day, with their spanners going 19-to-

over seven hours. I was mightily impressed
to be driving in at 8.30am and leaving the

PAINT PRODUCTS pose quite a serious
risk when you are using them and those risks
comes in two forms. The first is the health of
the people doing the work and those nearby,
including animals. Dust from sanding is bad

must be worn.
Continuing the paint job on the budget

but if you are using any two-pack material,
the hardener contains cyanide and you must

well away from the work area. There is a
second risk from skin absorption and so it is

Disposable overalls are a good idea as
they keep dust and paint away from normal
clothes. Keep other people and pets well
away from the paint fumes.
Another risk when tackling a painting
job like this is from fire. At certain
concentrations the fumes from the solvents
are explosive and so use cold sealed lights
rather than hot unsealed ones, don’t paint
near a gas boiler with a pilot light and keep
the compressor and its motor well away.
Don’t turn any switches on or off in the area
while the fumes are about as the spark
might ignite them.
The paint I’m using here is actually three
layers, applied one on top of the other.
Scotchpads are perfect for sanding in hard to
get places like the door handle aperture.

There is a primer which fills any imperfections
and this can go over any original paint and
repaired areas as long as there are not too
many previous coats.
We are using a beige primer filler and it is
a two pack product that chemically hardens
rather than just relying on solvent evaporation.
The primer is sanded to provide a smooth
and homogenous surface for the colour coat.
We might need a complete coat in this colour
as some paints respond differently to the
different colours of the substrate and show
as different colours themselves, but as ours
is quite well pigmented and will be going over
white, I might get away with spot priming it
and using the factory white as the primer.

one. Different products use different ratios
so make certain you are using the measure
on the correct scale for your product.
The primer needs to be rubbed down

A wipe down with panel-wipe on a lint free

prior to painting it with the spraygun on its

Though it is not a two-pack product you can
use the same measuring stick. If you fill it to

mowing a lawn as you go across and up
one strip before coming back the other way

you have just been. You need to have the fan
open quite a lot on the gun so the paint band
is quite wide and overlap the edges where it

ten minutes between each to flash off. If you

This is called ‘blooming’ and looks terrible. It

MINIATURE
HERO
When Richard Edmunds retired
he decided he needed to occupy
his time with a project. It just so
happened to be a 5/8th scale model
of a Series One, with working petrol
engine, gearbox and diffs.

WHEN I HEARD that
someone in my area had made a
working, scaled-down version of
a Series One Land Rover One
pictured a dishevelled character
rummaging through scrap yards
and second-hand lawnmower
shops to gather a pile of parts. Then
forcing these components together
with Frankenstein precision and
dressing them up to loosely
resemble a vehicle recognised only
by its badges – we’ve all seen them
at the shows; strange milk-float
powered creations. However, I
couldn’t have been further from
the truth with this particular
build and I had no idea about the
WorldMags.net
engineering quality I had stumbled
across.
Richard Edmunds began his
career as an apprentice in a railway
workshop. He graduated as a fitter
and turner and went on to run his
own engineering company. When
he retired he decided he needed a
project to keep him out of trouble
and being a long-time Land Rover
enthusiast and owner he decided he
would build a 5/8 scale Series One
Land Rover.
Now this is where it gets
interesting. Surely the easiest way
to achieve this goal would be to
research smaller vehicles to source
the engine and running gear then
make up a body to house it all.
But not Richard. He was going to
do this the only way he knew –
the right way. He already
owned a Series One so
his game plan was to
pull this down and take ³

 FEATURE 5/8th Model Series One
³ measurements as he went. Convert
the measurements to 5/8ths scale
then blend his wisdom with his skills
and make everything from scratch.
the big difference
To begin the journey he built his own
furnace and cast an engine block
and gearbox housing out of alloy.
He wasn’t happy with the block as
it was too porous and the water
jacket wasn’t up to his standards so
instead he machined it from a solid
block of alloy. He cast his own white
metal main and big-end bearings
and took a round billet of high tensile
steel and machined the crank and
camshaft.
To balance the crank Richard
used a low-tech yet accurate
method. He placed two knife edges
on his work bench and laid the crank
journals at 90° across them. The
heaviest part of the crank would
rotate to the bottom. Dimples were
drilled out of the heavy side and the
process was repeated. The front
pulley, flywheel and clutch assembly,
which were also made from scratch,
were then assembled onto the crank
and balancing began again. This
task alone took a full day.
He could have made the valves
116 August 2012 LAND ROVER monthly
and springs but opted instead to
save time and buy some Briggs and
Stratton units and modify them to
fit by shortening the valve shank.
Flywheel pressure plate, clutch
housing, pistons, con rods and
anything else you can think of were
all made, weighed, balanced and
fitted and, as you would expect
from an engineer’s handy-work,
the engine pieced together with no
major headaches.
The gearbox got the same
exacting treatment. Working from
his calculations he chained himself
to his machinery again and cut
and ground his way to a new set of
gears and shafts which were then
assembled in to the gearbox he had
cast earlier.
To complete the engine and
gearbox Richard had endured 12
hour days of machining for almost
four months and was now thankful
to be able to turn his attention to the
chassis. He chose to make this out
of alloy as it is light, easy to work
and has plenty of strength. While
fabricating this he also kept himself
busy by tackling the body work
which was all done by hand using
nothing more that a folder, guillotine
and some wooden formers.
WorldMags.net
 Richard’s house is near the
top of a hill and the spectacular
view from his workshop across
Tasmania’s Tamar River and the
surrounding countryside must have
kept him going as it was back to
the machining again to create the
differential components which were
all made from raw materials.
The exception was the crown
wheel and pinion as Richard
particularly wanted to use helical
gears which run quieter than straight
cut. He couldn’t make these at
home but he did know a guy with a
box full of spares. After half-a-day
of measuring and matching he dug
out a pair which once belonged
to a Honda Ag bike and the build
continued.
To get the vehicle rolling he
bought some 10-inch alloy trailer
wheels, cut out the middle and
made up some Land Rover look-
a-like centres and welded them in.
Ordinary tyres were purchased and
the treads were filled with a rubber
solution. Richard then cut Land
Rover profiles into them to look like
the originals. The result was perfect
but with time and use the rubber
fell out in all except the spare which
To complete the engine and gearbox Richard had
endured 12 hour days for nearly four months
still sports ‘original look’ treads.
Richard said, “with hindsight I would
have scrubbed the tread back then
sealed on a rubber band (similar
to a re-cap) and then cut the tread
pattern in”.
Brake drums were cast and
shoes were made and these were
taken with the clutch plate to a local
brake and clutch workshop to have
brake pads and clutch linings fitted.
Richard did make his own brake
master cylinder but it was difficult to
work so he settled for an off-the-
shelf unit designed for a trailer.
Wheel cylinders were made to finish
off the brake system.
With the build nearing completion
it was now time to run the engine.
To do this it was removed from
the vehicle. A belt was used to
link the flywheel to a motor from a
garden mulcher and the heart of this
creation gained life and began to
beat. The engine was re-fitted and
the finishing touches were added.
On its first attempt the vehicle
started and the fruit of Richards
labour drove under its own power
without a hitch.
I give myself a big pat on the
back if I change a head gasket and
everything goes to plan so I find it
nothing short of phenomenal that
Richard can build a whole engine
and a gearbox – in fact a complete
vehicle. It’s also astounding that
it all works as though it just rolled
off some production line and yet
Richard is so calm and humble when
he talks about his achievement.
When I first met him and saw the
vehicle in his garage I began pointing
at components and asking “did you
make this?” The answer was always
yes and it soon dawned on me that
I was asking the wrong question. I
saved us both some time and asked
him what he hadn’t made. The short
answer was crown wheel and pinion,
valves and springs, points, alternator,
master cylinder, carb, electric fuel
pump, starter motor (but just the
motor – he made the casing and the
pinion) and the front lights.
Herculean effort
So apart from a handful of bits
Richard made everything from
measurements, calculations and
raw materials. For my money this
puts him firmly in the ‘brave and
genius’ category. The only question
remaining is why? And the answer
is simple. Richard loves a challenge
and in his own words, “when you
retire you’ve got to have something
to do during the day”. With that
project complete it won’t be long
before Richard’s hands get busy
again, and who knows what
he’ll create next in miniature. LRM

SOLIHULL
SAVIOUR
A lot of old pre-production Range Rovers have sadly found
themselves in scrap yards, but Solihull resident Julian Lamb
is on a personal mission to save all that he finds.

However, although this would be
an inspirational observation, it would
be wide of the mark, as Julian Lamb’s
interest in Range Rovers hasn’t
anything to do with his career, which
is in fact as a university lecturer in
civil engineering.
Julian saw his first Range Rover in
1986 when he was 19-years-old, but
of course, he couldn’t afford to buy
one. He explained: “It was another
decade before I could afford to buy
a 1979 example, but that didn’t last
long, as the sills fell off, so that was
that. However, a couple of years
later, I bought a Velar prototype,
registration YVB 168H, originally
in Lincoln Green, which I owned
for three years. This was chassis
number 25 from the small batch of
pre-production models registered
as Velars. It had been used by the
factory for testing capstan winches.
Later on, it was despatched to
Spencer Abbott for conversion into a
110-inch wheel base ambulance.”
the collection continues
The ambulance theme was set to
continue with Julian’s next acquisition
in 1998, although this wasn’t that
apparent at the time when he went
to view ELA 830J, a 1971 model
that had been used as a hack at a
paintball leisure facility. This vehicle
is presently undergoing a second
restoration in his hands, the need for
the first restoration being immediately
apparent from the accompanying
photo when Julian first examined the
vehicle down in rural Surrey.
Julian began: “Chassis number
48 was a demonstrator loaned to
the Royal Air Force. They were
interested in developing a fast
response ambulance with cross-
country performance, the aim
being to rescue jet fighter pilots
following a crash landing. The firm
of Wadham Stringer carried out
the necessary modifications; the
passenger seat was turned to face
backwards and space was created
for a single stretcher. I bought this
Range Rover in 1998 when it was
completely rotten and falling apart.
But I managed to get it back into
shape so it appeared at Range
Rover’s 30th anniversary at Gaydon
in 2000.

“Unusually, it was in a lot better
condition than it looked,” Julian
recalled. “I did notice a few pre-
production features during the strip
down; such as the alloy bonnet
that didn’t make it into production
because these cracked too easily
owing to metal fatigue, so steel
bonnets were used instead. Also,
a complex set-up for disposing of
rainwater between the body and the
rear door using a plastic drainage
tube, but this didn’t work so well,
and a door seal was used on the
production model instead. I also
noticed they forgot to add a hole to
the bulkhead for the choke cable, so
this had been drilled to the required
size.”
Julian ran ELA 830J for the next
eight years, and this was often
displayed in her original ambulance
configuration spec, with the body
being resprayed in white as it was

RAF, and the
original seating and
fittings all back in place,
including a stretcher of the correct
type.
One of the highlights of owning
ELA 830J was when Julian spent the
day with the late Spen King, designer
of the original Range Rover, which
was arranged for the filming of The
Land Rover Story in August 2000
by Carlton Television. “Spen drove
this Range Rover around the lanes
near his home close to Leamington
Spa,” said Julian. “He commented, ‘It
drives very nicely but I can tell it’s had
a hard life as there’s some backlash
in the steering.’ This sort of detail is ³

 CLASSIC Pre-production Range Rovers
³ what only a skilled engineer would be
able to recognise.”
ELA 830J was the 48th produced,
of which the first 45 were pre-
production Velar Range Rovers, and
following extensive research Julian
found this was the third production
version. Originally finished in Sahara
Dust, Julian intends to restore
this example to this colour and
standard fitments rather than its
later configuration as an ambulance
during the second restoration.
Hopefully, this work will receive
further coverage in these pages once
it has been completed.
a real Q-car
Julian describes his next Range
Rover acquisition as a bit of a Q-car,
as K58 YKV’s outward appearance
was deliberately kept downbeat –
which meant doing without a respray
– in view of its use as a daily drive
commuting back and forth through
the busy streets of Birmingham.
“This is another pre-production
Range Rover,” Julian responded. “A
200Tdi Classic that was built in April
1992, although it was registered later

Rover, and this engine had been
used in a test bed a full year before
it was fitted to this Range Rover
Classic.”
This vehicle was then used for
road going tests before then being
allocated to the marketing division
and was then loaned out for motoring
press use and evaluation, including
a feature in What Car magazine,
a role it performed for almost two
years, and was then sold into private
ownership by a Land Rover main
dealer in Conwy, North Wales.
Many years later, severe corrosion
resulted in an MoT failure, resulting
in a number of years lying out in the
open until 2008 when Julian came
along with a rescue plan. His list of
improvements was eventually ticked
off one by one, including typical
repairs for a Classic Range Rover.
Many new panels were needed,
the sills being modified using
new-old-stock CSK side frames,
and particular attention was paid
to the front inner wings after Julian
LANCASTER
WorldMags.net Land Rover Insurance
INSURANCE
noticed that these were of the later
type adapted for air suspension
(although the suspension was still
of the original type), so rather than
welding in a set of the earlier type
inner wings, Julian managed to repair
the originals so as to retain the profile
of the post 1992 air suspension
adaptations, which involved cutting
up a new set to supply repair
sections, which he then welded into
place.
As previously mentioned, the
original and unusual paintwork in
Sonoran Brown was left as it was,
as was the engine, which What Car
didn’t review all that kindly in their
January 1993 edition quoting a lack
of “power and torque”, although this
engine certainly made up for this in
terms of longevity! Julian explained:
“The 200Tdi engine’s reputation
for being indestructible turned
out to be so true. After 130,000
miles, I renewed the cylinder head
gasket, and was pleased to find
that the bores looked just like
new. The vehicle will sit there all
day cruising along and 40mpg is
attainable. These engines were over-
engineered. They made seven Tdi
press cars with the same YKV suffix,
01480 484803

although I am not aware of any other
survivors but for this one. They were
all top specification cars with leather
interiors, air conditioning, ABS and a
CD player.
After inspecting the lovely
leather interior, which Julian had
painstakingly re-stitched by hand,
and then buffed up to a shiny
surface, it was hard to imagine these
had once been covered in green
mould for many a year after the car
was abandoned in a field.
enter the Germans
First registered on 1 August 1994
as M270 CVC, this car’s first claim
to Range Rover fame is that it was
one of about 60 press demonstration
models used for the introduction of
the P38 model at Cliveden House,
Berkshire in August 1994; all with
M2-CVC registrations, representing
the full range of engine options: 2.5
DT, 2.5 DSE, 4.0, 4.0 SE and the
flagship model 4.6 HSE, such as
this example. Julian remarked: “It
was then put on a plane and flown to
Japan, where it was driven up Mount
Fujiyama by Viscount Linley on 28/29
September 1994 as part of a convoy
of three identical P38s; the other
two being driven by the explorer
Robin Hanbury-Tenison and a famous
Japanese violinist, Mayaumin Seiler.
This was filmed as a live, world-wide,
satellite broadcast for Land Rover
dealers to mark the official launch of
LANCASTER Land Rover Insurance
INSURANCE
It had a private plate, but Julian spotted the tell-
tale signs of a very early car
the new Range Rover, entitled Ten
Days that Shook the World.
Julian said: “I drove this one all
round Northumbria, and although
petrol is expensive, 22mpg being
as good as it gets over 1,000 miles,
this was well worth the driving
experience. The Epsom Green
paintwork was resprayed in the
past, but this is still presentable, and
the car went on display at the NEC
Classic Vehicle Show in November
2011. One feature that identifies this
as an early production model is the
absence of a high level brake light,
a blanking plate being substituted
instead.”
By the time M606 CVC arrived on
Julian’s driveway, the ability to seek
out Range Rovers with the factory
M-CVC registration number was
becoming second nature, and this
one was used as a demonstrator to
publicise the Land Rover Experience,
part of a fleet that toured Europe, one
aim being to demonstrate the new
2.5 litre diesel engine, as supplied by
BMW: the rationale for this trip being
the increasing popularity of diesel
throughout Europe.
M606 CVC was used as a
demonstrator and for transporting
VIPs around at a skiing event at

Saalbach in the Austrian Alps. “If
you’re careful, you can squeeze
out 32-36mpg as this one’s got
the manual gearbox, which is quite
rare. But automatics are not quite as
frugal, as much as 10mpg less.”
There wasn’t much to see under
the bonnet, as Julian had arranged for
the engine to be rebuilt when I visited
him in early 2012. The interior has
already been refurbished, with new
cloth covers for the seat bases found
on eBay, a lucky purchase obtained
from Kendal Land Rover. Julian fitted
expensive Michelin Latitude HP tyres,
although he plans to sell the vehicle.
His reasoning was that another P38
diesel has been bought, an ultra rare
pre-production prototype: M208
CVC, in DSE spec and with Biarritz
Blue paint. This example was part
of the Methods Build prototype
phase of the P38 development and,
unusually, escaped the crusher
where most prototypes end-up, and
then went into private ownership.
Julian spotted M208 CVC hiding
under a private plate in the part-
exchange to clear section of a car

Many Land Rovers run cool in normal driving conditions, but
when greenlaning or sitting in traffic the temperature can
creep up. Kev fits a Kenlowe electric fan to his Series One

1 The Kenlowe fan unit is
excellent quality and arrives in a
well-packaged box. It is clearly
marked with airflow to allow
you to fit the fan the right way
round – space dictated that
mine was going to be fitted to
the front of the radiator.
2 Kenlowe actively encourage
you to get in touch with
any queries or concerns
and are extremely helpful
with all enquires. Based in
Maidenhead, the Kenlowe
company pioneered
thermostatically controlled fans
back in 1956; so a Kenlowe is
almost a ‘period’ modification!
3 I decided to mount the fan
directly to the radiator, using
the sturdy plastic ties that
Kenlowe supply. These pass
through sticky-backed foam

pads and pull up tight into
some locking pieces on the
other side of the rad…
4 …leaving a ‘tail’ which can be
cut off flush with the locking
piece. I removed the radiator
to fit the fan on my Series One
but on a later vehicle there may
be enough space to do the job
in-situ.
5 The fan is a good fit and
covers a large proportion of the
radiator. The slim but robust
housing has a finger guard on
both sides so that the fan can
be used in blower or suction
position, space permitting.
The blades themselves are
curved to cut down on noise
and perform more efficiently;
up to 30 percent less electrical
energy is used, as the flow of
air is completely seamless –
the leading edge of the blade

begins working and producing
airflow straight after the
previous blade.
6 With the radiator grill in place
the fan looks fairly unobtrusive.
7 This is the electronic fan
controller, with a bewilderingly
large amount of wires. But it’s
actually very simple…
8 …as this wiring diagram,
provided with the kit, proves.
A fused feed from the battery
gives the main power source,
with a live ignition-switched
feed running the controller.
There’s also an ‘over-ride’
option, with a wire to run up to
a dashboard-mounted switch.
9 All the wiring hardware
required for installation is
supplied with the kit; it really is
‘plug and play’.
CLASSIC

THE QUESTION of electric
fans will always get discussion
going among Land Rover folk.
Opinion varies on which is best,
how best to fit them and even if they
are worth bothering with.
The majority of the popular
engine conversions into Land
Rovers require an electric fan as
there is either no room for the
standard belt-driven fan, or the
engine was designed for an electric
fan in its original application. Other
people choose to fit an electric
fan for the benefits they can give –
increased economy, less noise and
none of the considerable power
loss a belt-driven or viscious clutch
fan produces. On an off-roader it
can also be useful to have the ability
to switch the fan off when going
through deep water.
With the Perkins engine in my
Series One having no provision for
a belt-driven fan, I was keen to get
an electric one in place to keep the
temperature in check on low-speed
greenlanes and in traffic jams. On ³

10 The feed to the controller
needs to be taken from an
ignition switch controlled,
fused point on the Land Rover.
The fuse box is ideal.
11 This is the probe which
senses the temperature and
12 in-turn activates the fan. It fits
into the core of the radiator,
13 secured in the same way as
the fan is fitted, using a tie
passing through some foam
pads into the radiator core.
There is no need to cut into the
cooling system in any way.
14 The controller is pre-set to
turn the fan on at a certain
temperature, but it can also be
adjusted to kick in at different
temperatures using this
adjuster.
15 It is important not to over-cool
the engine; you won’t get the
benefits of an engine running

³ my old V8 Series IIA I had
at a higher, more efficient
temperature, and it will mean
the fan is running for longer
periods. This will add to wear
and tear and put considerable
load on the electrical system.
16 Luckily, the Kenlowe
instructions are very clear on
how to set the fan. I got the
Land Rover up to temperature
(eventually) and set the fan to
kick in at 90 degrees…
17 …on the temperature gauge,
which has its sender in the
cylinder head.
After final adjustment, the
18
wiring was tidied up and the
control box mounted out of
sight – Kenlowe provide fixings
for this but to avoid drilling
anything, I used heavy-duty
double-sided numberplate
mounting tape to fix it to the
inside of the radiator panel.

gone down the well-trodden
route of using recycled fans
from scrap cars; they did
the job, but tended to suffer
from mud and I was never
that happy with the wiring.
Electrics not being my strong
point, I looked for something
‘self-contained’ and decided
to treat myself to a Kenlowe
14" HP (high performance)
two-speed fan with electronic
thermostat.
This is the size
recommended by Kenlowe for
Series motors that have been
converted to negative earth
(the single-speed 16BX can
still be supplied for positive
earth vehicles) and it comes
with all the hardware required
for fitting, including wiring
and connectors. In the well-
packed box the fan arrived
in was a variety of different
mounting options with rubber
isolaters to protect both the
fan and radiator; I went for the
Land Rover Insurance
‘simple’ option of mounting
the fan directly to the radiator
using Kenlowe’s special ties,
but I may fabricate a seperate
frame at some point to
completely avoid any chance
of radiator core damage.
Does it work? Certainly
does; in scorching hot
weather travelling through
Europe the temperature held
rock steady with the fan
cutting in and out without
drama. Depending on the
spec you want, a similar fan
will be around £180. A good
investment, I reckon. LRM

FRIENDS REUNITED
Following a durability trial in
the Sahara desert in 1969,
Mike Foster didn’t think he’d
ever be reunited with this
prototype Range Rover, until
now that is…
Words Gary Pusey
Photographs by Peter Robain
THEY HAD last met in early
December 1969 at Ghardaia in
central Algeria. Mike Foster was
the Field Operations Manager for
Minitrek Expeditions, a Kingston-
based holiday trekking company
that had been retained by the
Rover Company to lead a vehicle
durability trial across the Sahara,
using two Engineering Prototype
Range Rovers and a 109" fitted
with a Range Rover engine and
transmission.
Mike and his three fellow Minitrek
team members, together with six
Rover engineers and a three-man
Pathé film crew, had just completed
the first leg of the expedition and
had covered over 3,330 miles in 22
days, during which they had headed
south across Algeria and into Niger
before crossing the Ténéré desert
and returning north to Ghardaia.
Geof Miller, the Range Rover
Project Engineer, and Roger
Crathorne, his Technical Assistant,
had just arrived in Ghardaia from the
UK and were to join the expedition
for the second leg into Morocco,
during which they would recce the
route for the press launch of the new
LANCASTER Land Rover Insurance
INSURANCE
The Oldest Range Rover
Range Rover, which was scheduled
for late 1970.
The first leg of the expedition had
proven the unrivalled capabilities
of the new vehicle, although it had
not been without its challenges and
mechanical mishaps. The second
leg passed without serious incident
but crossing the border from Algeria
into Morocco required some careful
navigation through a minefield.
Despite Geof and Roger’s efforts
in preparing the route for the press
launch and sampling some suitable
hotels and restaurants, the eventual
press launch was brought forward
to June 1970 and held in the rather
more prosaic surroundings of
Cornwall.
And of the two Engineering
Prototype Range Rovers that
participated in the expedition,
number 100/5 (WYK 315H) met its
end shortly after its return to the UK

CLASSIC
when it was used in a 30mph barrier
test at MIRA and written-off. The
other Range Rover, number 100/6
with the registration AOY 289H,
has survived against all the odds.
By 1990, it had been completely
dismantled and was spread across
three farms in Devon, but it was
rescued and rebuilt by Mark Lockley
in the mid-1990s and much effort
went in to preserving the many
unique features. It is the oldest
Range Rover in existence today.
Mike Foster went on to run
his own small company leading
adventure and semi-scientific

with the Company and is currently
the technical representative in the
press office.
And the occasion for this unique
reunion? Jaguar Land Rover
arranged a media day at Gaydon
with the theme ‘Sport, Speed and
Adventure’ and 100/6 took its rightful
place among the line-up of illustrious
expedition vehicles on display. It was
a superb opportunity to reunite Geof,
Roger and Mike with the vehicle
that played such an important part
in the development of the Range
Rover. Mike Foster drove the car for
the first time in over 42 years and
said “in 1969 I thought it performed
spectacularly, and I still do!” LRM

Joint Warrior 12-1 Bob drops in on an air assault exercise in Galloway, as the Army, Navy and RAF
combine their efforts on JOINT WARRIOR 12-1 manoeuvres

BRITAIN CURRENTLY has
two dedicated out-of-area
rapid response brigades in the
shape of 16 Air Assault, which
comprises predominantly Army
personnel and is projected by
air, and 3 Commando Brigade,
which comprises mainly of
Royal Marines and is projected
amphibiously. Twice a year

personnel and assets, now
partake in tri-service exercises
under the JOINT WARRIOR
banner.
A couple of weeks before
heading off to Jordan for
the SOFEX military expo I
popped up to Galloway to
cover the air assault phase of
JOINT WARRIOR 12-1 and
to photograph Land Rovers
deployed on the exercise. Just like
 Airmobility
AIRMOBILITY, THE capability
to deliver complementary and
simultaneous Air Manoeuvre, Air
Assault and Airborne operations, is
the unique selling point of Britain’s
16 Air Assault Brigade. Using a mix
of rotary and fixed wing aircraft the
brigade is able to both rapidly project
its grounds troops over greater
distances than feasible using tracked
or wheeled transport and once these
highly trained soldiers land on the
battlefield, be that by parachute,
helicopter or transport aircraft capable
of landing on rough airstrips, they are geared up
Although the brigade has relatively few
heavy vehicles at its disposal it is one of the
few formations which makes good use of Land
Rovers on account of their compact size and
suitability for airmobile use. As we saw in the
May issue, when we covered units from the new
Franco-British combined joint expeditionary
force (CJEF) on exercise in Otterburn, the
brigade’s manoeuvre support companies use
the R-WMIK+ plus variant of the Wolf but
several other Land Rover variants are also used.
All of these vehicles can be carried forward
under or inside the CH-47 Chinook transport
helicopter (as left) and for longer range
insertions several can be transported inside an

option to holding a much larger
pool of military specification
vehicles which will only see
occasional service. In many
instances a unit undertaking
non-tactical training will need
a vehicle with some degree of
off-road capability for general
utility duties but will not require
the military-specific extras of a
Wolf (Defender XD/HS) model
so it makes sense to conserve
these more expensive
battlefield assets and use a
standard Land Rover instead.
However not all Green Fleet
Defenders are actually full

their Royal Marine colleagues in
3 Commando Brigade, the lightly
equipped Army formations which
constitute 16 Air Assault rely on a
wide range of Land Rover variants
to provide them with mobility
when deployed in the field, though
it has to be noted that these days
the TUL HS or Wolf 90 versions
have pretty much disappeared
from service with the brigade as
the introduction of the heavy and
bulky BOWMAN communications
package severely restricted their
rear cargo capacity.
Some of the component
units of 16 Air Assault Brigade
have spent much of the last 13
years of their parent formation’s
existence either operationally
deployed or preparing for the
next deployment, and many of
their Land Rovers exhibit signs
of this. Twelve years ago the
Paras, not long back from Kosovo,
deployed to Sierra Leone in May
2000 on Operation PALLISER
to help foil a civil war and hardly
was that job finished before they
were sent off to Macedonia in
2001on Operation ESSENTIAL
HARVEST. In late 2001 elements
of 16 Air Assault took part in the
initial mission in Afghanistan on
Operation VERITAS and in 2003
the Paras were sent into Iraq on
Operation TELIC against Saddam
Hussein, then there were three full
brigade deployments to Helmand
Province on Operation HERRICK.
The hard top Wolf 110 above,
known as Truck Utility Medium
Higher Specification by the
Ministry of Defence and Defender
XD by Land Rover, is a pretty
typical example used by 16 Air
Assault on the exercise and, as
can be seen from the front wing
antenna mounts it has been
retro-fitted for the BOWMAN
communications package.
Note the dayglo orange air
identification panel on the roof
and the internal roll-cage addition
to bring the 15 year old Wolf up to
current safety standards.

OF THE many different Land
Rovers I spotted on my trip up
to the Stranraer area for JOINT

Wolf 110 really caught my
attention as in my opinion it has
to be the ultimate Wolf and if I
were ever in the fortunate position
of being able to own one for
display purposes I reckon this
would be the one. Used by the
Royal Military Police – one of
the platoon’s from 156 Provost
Company permanently assigned
to 16 Air Assault is parachute-
trained – it was in pretty neat
condition despite being field
deployed on exercise; though
one would expect little else of
a vehicle being used by the
Redcaps.

of two bolt-on bars running from
the footwells above the front
chassis outriggers, up beside the
door/windscreen pillars, over the
door tops and then back to the
rear roll cage, with a horizontal
bar running internally above the
windscreen. This arrangement is
much more aesthetically pleasing
than the external front cage

upgrades to the pre-Wolf
One-Ten batch.
Another safety upgrade,

This was introduced to make it
easier for less stronger or shorter
soldiers to change the heavy
spare. The raised air intake, seen
on both 110s on this page, is
another modification carried out
at unit level by REME mechanics
- note that it is not a snorkel for
wading, as fitted on amphibious
Wolves, and is merely intended
for drawing in cleaner air in dusty
environments.

Although I do need to stress that
‘Tommy’ has had some questionable
paint jobs in his history and I, hence,
couldn’t reasonably expect some
concours effect at the end of the
gig – especially as, for reasons
earlier touched upon, I wasn’t about
to spend days and days with various
grades of wet and dry, taking panels
down to their original base coat.
So I had to expect some visible
ripples as the new paint spread itself
out on the given surface. I did do the
sensible thing and initially attack the

TEAM PLAYERS
Charlie and his team of marshals have been in the
business for years, and now they’ve found a new home
B
ack in 2006, I heard through the
Land Rover grapevine that the
Billing Land Rover show that was
to be held in 2007 may be called
off as the team that had been
running the show were pulling out. I called
Richard Howell Thomas and told him what I
had heard, and at first I think he didn’t believe
me. As Richard had been the main instigator
of the very first Billing show 22 years ago
when he was the editor and joint owner of
Land Rover Owner at the time, he felt that he
did not want to let the show fade away after
all these years.
He made a few calls and a some days later
he called me back and told me that he had
been to the Billing Aquadrome with Cathie
Howell Thomas and they had struck a deal,
and that the 2007 LRM Billing show was to
go ahead there. I was then tasked with putting
together a group of volunteers to marshal and
run the off-road course on Grange Farm land
which is next to the Aquadrome. I was told
that I was not to let any one group or club take
the job on, and that LRM management felt
that a broad band of people from within the
various clubs would be preferred.
So it was time for me to hit the phones and
send out e mails to all the clubs to ask for
volunteers. Slowly but surely, a team came
together some of whom I already knew. I had
a call from a mate, Barrie Holt, who said that
he would like to volunteer to be my Chief
Marshal. So we put on a marshals’ training
weekend at Grange Farm, where we set up
a few role playing scenarios and Barrie even
put on waders and jumped into the lakes
to retrieve some telegraph poles that were
floating about in there so that we could use
them later at the show.
Pretty soon it was time to get everything set
up on the off-road course so an advance party
of volunteers took the best part of a week
off work and we set up camp. We started
by clearing back some of the bushes and
tree branches, and putting in the stakes and

direction arrows, the red and white
barrier tape and all the other signage ready
for the coming weekend. Anyone who was
at that first one will tell you that the weather
was definitely not on our side, because as we
beavered away the heavens opened, and it
poured down almost non-stop for a few days.
The Aquadrome soon turned into a
quagmire as the traders trucks, lorries and the
clubs turned up so that they could all set-up
their stands. Meanwhile, over at the off-road
course, I don’t know about a baptism of fire,
but it surely was a baptism of water as we
struggled to get everyone round safely as all
the team were struggling to help some of the
drivers that were losing traction.
Somehow we got through the weekend
and, as the team slowly packed up to get off
home, some of us stayed over the extra day
to clear the course and to take all the course
furniture to Grange Farm where land owner

Richard Arrowsmith agreed to store it for the
2008 show.
The weather was a little kinder at the next
one and in between we had another training
day at a site in Bedfordshire. The LRM show
in 2009 moved to the showground in Newark
and Barrie along with Willie Henderson and
myself spent ten days there beavering away
for 12 hours-a-day with a big 360 excavator
and two five-ton dump trucks and a small
Kubota and we designed and built a brilliant
course there out of a flat ploughed field.
Well, ever onward and after the sale of
LRM to Dennis Publishing we moved again
in 2010 this time to Stoneleigh Park in
Warwickshire, and the course there was one
that a lot of us knew very well from our days
there at the old Town & Country Show and All
Rover Rally Weekend. Bit of a mouthful but
that was a massive show, easily the best ever
until it was sadly stopped. We all hoped that
at last we had found our new home where we
could look forward to a long run at the place
where a lot of drivers agreed had the best
off-road course.
Regular readers will know that after the
2011 show it was decided that the show
would not go ahead in 2012, so it looked like
my team would no longer be required. But
after some changes at the Billing show to
be held in July we have been saved by the
bell, and after the course at Grange Farm
has been re-branded The Billing Off-Road
Experience, we have been asked to provide
our services marshalling there once more.
Also we shall be back at Billing again over
the weekend of 1-2 September for the Active
Promotions Europe Ltd Militaria & All Makes
4x4 show. So come and see us at The Billing
Off-Road Experience course and catch up
with the old LRM marshals team.
CHARLIE THORN
Long-time LRM contributor Charlie has been a familiar face
at off-road events for many years. He masterminds the
LANDROVERmax! off-road course, and drives a Range Rover

HIT, RUN AND CHASE Ross is the unfortunate recipient of a hit and
run incident and justice must be served
I
n January I was driving Trevor the
Transit through a local village and
stopped in the traffic queue at traffic
lights opposite a lay-by used for
parking. While we waited I watched an
employee of a local company walk down the
road to his foreign 4x4 and begin to back out
into the busy traffic. We were directly behind
but on the far side of the road, out of harm’s
way, but I made a comment to Gill about the
driver seeming to be in a hurry – and then
without further ado he just reversed across
the road.
An approaching car had to make a
sudden stop, the bang was like a gunshot,
pedestrians turned to stare and the van
rocked violently. A LWB Transit is difficult to
miss, but he just put the car into gear and
drove off.
A classic hit and run. There were two
witnesses, both very willing to give a
statement and one even knew the driver’s
name. The damage was limited to a square
dent in the middle of our off side panel and
some paint scrapes. If the other driver had
bothered to stop, an apology would have
sufficed, although on a car the damage
would have been considerable.
I now had a dilemma. Forget it and find
that the other driver put in a claim that
somehow it was my fault (I couldn’t see
how, but ‘claims farmers’ will make black
seem white) or go through the rigmarole
of reporting it to cover my own back. As
the offender drove away I shouted out the
registration and Gill wrote it down, but she
misheard the last letter of the number plate,
hardly surprising as she had bumped her
head on the door pillar. We phoned the
police to report the drive away and after
getting the witness details went home to
collect our documents and then drove all the
way back to Nailsea to report the accident at
the police station.
This took a couple of hours and apart
from being told that it was unlikely any action

would be taken, I felt I’d done as
much as I could to safeguard our position.
A few days later the local police Collision
Unit phoned to query the number I had given
and the type of car. The two didn’t match. An
innocent man in Plymouth had been subject
to the third degree as it was his car number
we had initially reported. Luckily, his Ford
Fiesta had been parked outside Crownhill
Police Station at the time and he had a good
alibi, but it must have been a really worrying
time for him to be accused of a criminal act
in another county.
Gill told her friends – known as ‘The
Cauldron Club’ – and within a few days we
had all the details of the offender, no doubt
provided by a drone broomstick. News
travels in a small community. Some while
later the collision unit rang me again asking
if I had contact details of the witnesses. The
other driver was claiming that he ‘wasn’t in
WorldMags.net
LAND ROVER monthly August 2012 159
LETTER FROM THE LEVELS
the area’ and that his diary proved he had
been elsewhere at the time. And that was
all I heard from the police. I didn’t want
him nicked, but first a hit and run, and then
claiming not to be there, despite witnesses,
one who identified him by name, seemed to
warrant some kind of official response. MPs
rightly get prosecuted for that.
Five months after the incident I decided to
phone the collision unit and find out what, if
anything, had been done. It seems that the
case had been long closed, but I was read
the final comments on the file. A few words
can carry great meaning and the police have
it to an art form:
Driver 1 sent details for insurance ( I
wasn’t but that can pass).
Driver 2 offered advice.
Anyone who has been ‘offered advice’
by a traffic policeman will know it is one
of the more unpleasant things that can
happen. It usually takes place at a supremely
inconvenient moment, usually with other
people in earshot, the policeman usually
contrives to block out most of the daylight,
has the stature of an angry gorilla and is in a
mood that can only have come from having a
lorry park on his foot.
Delivery of the ‘advice’ is done in a way
that makes the recipient feel like a three
year old who has crashed his tricycle into
a municipal flowerbed. It is personal, very
direct and very, very effective.
Being ‘offered advice’ is one of the
traditional arts of old fashioned coppering
and much better than any fine or points on
a licence. It is to the point, personal and
effective, a bloody good telling off by a stern
copper. No formalities, cheap to administer
and long remembered. I think in this case,
justice was well and truly done, but a word of
apology at the time would have sufficed.

END OF THE ROAD?
While getting swept up in Olympic build-up, Thom forget
the Lightweight’s MoT is due, and it’s looking bleak
I
t is rare that an exciting event takes
place in Devon, let alone something
of national importance such as the
Olympic torch procession. From Land’s
End, a series of torchbearers have
wended their way through Cornwall and
proceeding across Devon, passing the flame
from torch to torch before retiring to bed with
their laptops to look on eBay and mentally tot
up how much their torch might fetch.
The Olympics is obviously about feats of
human rather than vehicular endurance but
to my mind any day of festivity, especially
in the countryside, is only enhanced by the
support of a few classic motors. I determine
that I will take the Lightweight out for an
Olympic-orientated excursion to observe the
procession of torches.
I am surprised to find that my enthusiasm
for this momentous occasion does not
appear to be reflected by my friends.
Responses to my texts of invite fly back
stating, “you should bear in mind that this
tradition was started in 1936 by Joseph
Goebbels, head of propaganda for Hitler’s
Nazi party.” Well, I’ll take that as a ‘no’ then,
I think, rather awkwardly trying to blend
apologetic ignorance and innocent surprise
into a reply. Envisaging a little convoy of
striking vehicles, I phone another friend who
owns a classic car, who rails down the line
about “that fascist ceremony” luckily before
I have had the opportunity to actually extend
the invite.
For the first time, I start to regret having
such right-on friends. Subdued but not
entirely crushed, wanting to attend but not
look like a Billy-no-mates, I find a chum with
child in Exeter who either does not know or
does not care about the origins of the torch
ceremony, and is filled with enthusiasm about
attending. I doubt that the Lightweight will
be able to safely or legally accommodate a
child’s seat so we arrange to meet outside
Exeter for the afternoon of merriment.
The night before the torch ceremony, I

LIGHTWEIGHT FAILED

awake in the early hours, with three
large capital letters resounding through my
head: M.O.T. When does it, or did it, expire?
I cannot for the life of me recall the date. I
remember checking it a month or two ago
and thinking, “oh, that is ages away!” but
that, now, was ages ago. Unable to return to
my slumber, I arise to rifle through paperwork
until I find the green-tinted sheet with its
bad tidings. The Lightweight’s MoT expired
twelve days previously.
Now, here I am in the middle of the night,
in the middle of a weekend, with an excursion
planned to the only major event to have taken
place in Devon in the last couple of years,
which will undoubtedly be policed by every
constable in the county, in a vehicle that it is
now illegal to drive to anywhere other than a
garage offering MoTs. I crawl back into bed,
realising that Devon’s moment of national
significance and brush with Nazi history will
WorldMags.net
LAND ROVER monthly
WEST COUNTRY WHEELS
not be witnessed by either me or my Land
Rover.
The day after dropping the lovely
Lightweight off at Brixham Autos, I phone
Tim to see how it fared under scrutiny.
After exchanging a few niceties, I brave the
question, “How was it?” “Well” Tim replies
in a very flat voice, “it’s scrap, basically.”
“WHAT?” I bellow into the receiver, my
face contorted into an awful expression that
thankfully no-one can see. “Only joking,” he
says, (although mechanics are not exactly
known for their wit) and his humourless tone
is noticeably lacking in reassurance, “it was
okay.”
‘Okay’ is a very flexible term when applied
to a Series Land Rover’s MoT, but in this
instance, it is just that. A gammy electrical
connection to the front side light is the worst
thing and the total bill comes in at under
£100, which is marvellous. Tim mentions
that there is some surface corrosion to the
brake pipes and points out that some of the
underside corrosion is creeping ever-closer
to the chassis, but it is all good for another
year.
But whatever has happened to the MoT
certificate? Gone are the days of the green,
or more often red, sheet being waved about
by mechanics. We are now in the Age of
Austerity where the Department for Transport
can no longer afford to supply coloured
templates to garages and, “as part of an
ongoing drive to reduce costs and wastage,”
the old-style certificates are no more. A new
online system has been set-up so all the
information is available. The black and white
replacement paper copy is one of the most
losable documents I have seen. That is not
going to be so easy to find in the next when-
did-my-MoT-expire midnight emergency, is it?

THE
LOW RANGERS The Low Rangers are based in the north west
of England and are a fantastic friendly club
that don’t take themselves too seriously.
Words by Lee Burstow Pictures by Ian Egerton & Lisa Turner

164 August 2012 LAND ROVER monthly WorldMags.net


ALL OF OUR founder
members were part of another
Manchester club that couldn’t
see past the Derbyshire Peaks
and were more interested in
meetings and member volume
than actually getting out, so…
The Low Rangers were born!
Ady Wheeler (Clyde) and Lee
Burstow (Bandicoot) kicked
off proceedings with a free
forum page where we could
all chat and plan events and
routes. Very quickly, we realised
that enthusiasm was so high
we needed something more
professional and Lee put together
the club forum we have now.
We just seemed to be a more
enthusiastic group who were out
most weekends, working together
on our vehicles and with a diverse
knowledge of the country and
greenlaning. We also didn’t quite
agree with some clubs taking
groups of 25+ vehicles out,
invading the lanes in one area for
a day. Even when you split this up
into groups with a delay between,
it often means on a single stretch
of lane, walkers and mountain
bikers are continually disrupted
and if we are to co-exist on the
lanes that just doesn’t make any
sense. We keep our groups to
half that number.
Within weeks a few more like
minded members and mates had
seen what we were doing and
followed us and at present, we
run an informal ‘invitation only’
policy. Get out with us on a lane
and have a good day and the
invite is usually forthcoming. At
Low Rangers we prefer quality
to quantity and will strive to
keep all our members active and
interested with regular laning days
or other off-road activities.
Invariably, you will find one or
If you want rules, regulations and pointless meetings,
then we probably aren’t the club for you
more of us on a lane, at an event
or in the garage every weekend
and if you do not have your own
4x4 there is always a co-pilots
seat in someone’s car and maybe
the chance to drive.
One point to note is that
we do not take ourselves too
seriously; in fact, humour plays
quite a big part in this club.
However, we do respect the lanes
and adhere to the Green Lane
Associations Code of Conduct
WorldMags.net
LAND ROVER monthly
LAND ROVER
CLUBS
and the Tread Lightly UK Drivers’
Guide but if you want continual
rules, regulations and pointless
meetings then we probably aren’t
the club for you!
Low Rangers are family friendly
with members’ wives and children
joining in the fun on a regular
basis (someone has to open and
close those gates) and children
are welcome on our planned
camping trips. With all this natural
beauty virtually right on the
doorstep, let’s get out and see it!
We don’t care what vehicle
you are driving or your ability
level and while Discoverys and
Defenders, in various modified
states, populate the club, it has
some diversity with an SJ Suzuki
and a Pinzgauer among our ranks.
We are also lucky in that there
are enough mechanics, recovery
experts, know-it-alls and generally
helpful guys among us, to get you
off the road and into the mud but
keep you safe and sound.
The photos in this article
were taken by Ian Egerton
(SamGuitar) and Lisa Turner
(Mrs Clyde). This was from
a laning day in the highways
and byways of the beautiful
Pennines around Oldham,
Stalybridge, Saddleworth and
Holmfirth... a real mixture of
lanes from long and easy going,
to tight, steeply rutted axle-
twisting climbs all amid some
breathtaking scenery.
Our group leader for these
lanes was Dave Edge, known to
us as “Commando” who took a
lot of stick for his navigation skills,
which in fairness were spot on
except for just one turning. It was
inspired by a man walking a dog,
but the less we say about that the
better!
Our next trip is to the Welsh
borders where we are planning
a weekend camp before moving
onto Strata Florida.

Simon Lane, chairman
of the Cheltenham and

not only classic, but iconic,
and therefore have more right
to be on the road on that day
than anything else.”
Something I’d completely

what I might be out in the next
couple of years.
Andy Jeff writes about a
night trial in Nooze, from the
Suffolk Land Rover Owners

co-driver had their priorities
right: “We thought of a team

got team t-shirts printed
(yeah, we know, t-shirts in
winter, how cool is that?)
and came up with a logo
and car stickers just like the
professional teams you see on

Another point of view about
setting out a trial from Martin
Lewis, writing in Roveround,
from the Anglian Rover
Owners Club: “Spencer and
I started to set out the RTV.
This was easier said than
done as neither of us had a

MATT ‘THE hat’ Fullwood writes in
Chiltern Torque, from the Chiltern Vale

nice mix of a tight 12-gate, some humps
and bumps, a loop, down a slope, then a
twiddly bit and finally up a steep slippery
slope for a clear. And that’s exactly what
I did. Even being one of the few people
to make it through the one-gate. Such a
shame about clipping the number 7 cane.”
who could have done with reading
Martin Wynne’s report as he set out a
trial for the Leicestershire and Rutland
LRC. In Tilting On The Hill he writes:
“Bertie came over to help me complete
the sections, all of which we drove.
Plenty of wide gates, lots of cross-axles
and steep climbs to the finishes. As this
was the first RTV of the year I was able
to make sure that each section was as
long as possible to give everyone a good
driving challenge.”
LINDA HAYWARD, editor of The
Obsession, from the Land Rover
Register of South Australia writes:
“Did anyone else get caught by the
speed trap on the Adelaide side of
Melrose on the Monday, by a very
pleasant and apologetic officer? Believe
me, you can get caught speeding in a
Land Rover Defender! Expensive end to
a nice weekend.”

EXHAUSTED!
Buy cheap and buy twice is the motto ringing in Dave’s
ears as he ventures out to buy a new exhaust section
F
alse economy; a truly descriptive
statement. It’s obvious when you
think about it that buying cheap
rarely works. Parts either don’t
fit properly or they don’t last
a sensible length of time. Sod’s law says
that failure will come at the time of most
inconvenience. Yet despite this knowledge
being ingrained from lessons learnt we still
do it – buy cheap that is, not fail.
When I bought my 110, what must be
about four years or so ago, it needed a
rear exhaust pipe section. Like most Land
Rover products a 110 has three sections;
downpipe, centre silencer and tailpipe.
OE Land Rover exhausts from the mid-80s
through to the late-90s are generally very
good and last well but there are variances to
the rule with the tailpipe section (thanks to
its close proximity to a rear wheel) being one.
Anyway like most folk I sort of let the old
knackered tailpipe hang on a while, so when
it finally fell off I was somewhat caught short.
It actually happened while on a greenlane
run in Wiltshire so I was forced to go to a
well known high street chain of tyre and
exhaust purveyors in the charming town of
Devizes who proceeded to rob me blind for a
crappy mild steel replacement.
Fast forward three-and-half-years to
the night before I am due to take a run up
to Shropshire. I’m just going round the
vehicle doing the usual checks. As I go
to slide under the back-end to check the
rear differential oil levels I grab the exhaust
tailpipe as a hand hold.
This promptly rips off in my hand and I
fall on my posterior in a rather painful way.
Once I had finished restoring comfort to said
backside and finding words to describe the
situation in a way that helped me vent my
discomfort, I proceeded to check the rest
of the rear section of pipe. I came to the
conclusion that my part of Somerset has a
species of very rare moth whose caterpillar
consumes mild steel. I was impressed by
DAVID LOVEJOY
BEING SLIGHTLY OCD
AND SOMEWHAT
ANAL, I HAVE
PLENTY OF SPARES
how well a mix of mud, dried cow
poo and rust can conduct hot exhaust
gasses.
Being slightly OCD and somewhat anal I
have a reasonable spare parts stash which
included a replacement rear section of
exhaust for just my vehicle. However, it was
one that I had bought cheap and had been
made cheaply by what appeared upon closer
inspection to be a very short-sighted person
who not only was new to the concept of
welding but had a duff tape measure and a
bent steel rule.
I can fit a 110 exhaust tail section in a
cinch over ten minutes without breaking into
a sweat. After almost an hour of general
consternation I had failed even to lash up
some temporary bodge with my ‘cheap’
piece of monkey metal. By this time my wife
had ushered the children indoors and closed
all the windows as the air had become a bit
WorldMags.netLAND ROVER monthly August 2012 169
OUT WEST
on the blue side. I was not happy.
Now as we all know the 200Tdi benefits
from a relatively free flow exhaust; but (and
it’s a big BUT) if that exhaust is too free
flowing it can be very detrimental to the life
of the turbo’s oil seals. So, using skills learnt
as a boy while watching Blue Peter I rebuilt
the old tail pipe (yes, the one resembling
rusty lace) with exhaust bandage and
exhaust paste, along with fencing wire and
bits of soft drink can. It lasted the 400-mile
round trip – all bar the last mile or so.
Now I know some clever guys who own a
company called Demand Engineering (www.
demandengineering.co.uk) who could
make me up a 316 stainless steel custom
pipe in the same time as I could knock them
up a nice cup of tea. But they live in some
place called Suffolk which is about five
hours drive away from my house and would
require me to use my passport, so I’ll save
that for a rainy day. So, did I learn from my
false economy? Did I hell – I’ve just bought
another cheap mild steel non-OE exhaust
tailpipe that will most likely rot by the year
end. At least it fitted!
While lying under the 110 (after the
exhaust was all sorted) I was struck by just
how interesting the underside is. Compare
it to the other vehicle in the Lovejoy fleet (an
Alhambra) which is boring, staid and very
cramped. Laid out on a nice comfortable mat
in the lovely cool shade, with no disturbance
(as no one can see you) is really rather
special and so very peaceful. If you take a
rag with you, then time can be pleasantly
spent tracing the source of oil leaks.
Even more therapeutic is to don a pair of
goggles and a face mask, then armed with
a small screw driver and a paint scraper you
can go hunting for all the mud you missed
last time you pressure washed the vehicle.

After 30 years of greenlaning and off-roading in the UK and
abroad, David has become a well-known figure in the 4x4

BREATH OF FRESH AIR Land Rover’s parent company is working on compressed
air propulsion. Dave wonders whether this is the future…
H
ave you got used to handing
over £100-plus every time you
fill up with fuel? No, me neither.
Diesel for my Discovery is
now my biggest single item of
expenditure. It costs me more to top up the
tank than it does to put a roof over my head,
or to feed myself. And that is outrageous.
Yes, I know I go on about the cost of fuel,
but so does everybody else. I know quite a
few people with old cars whose vehicles are
worth less than a full tank of fuel. That’s got
to be wrong, hasn’t it?
Happily, financial salvation could be on its
way from Tata Motors, the Indian owners of
Land Rover. If they get their way, we could
soon be putting nothing more than fresh air
into the tanks of our vehicles. Unless the
government comes up with a way of taxing
fresh air – and I wouldn’t put it past them –
we could finally enjoy motoring for next to
nowt. And that appeals to me and my pocket.
Of course, it’s not really just fresh air. It’s
compressed fresh air. And it doesn’t quite
cost nothing, because a little bit of energy is
used when air is compressed and that costs
money – let’s say 50p for a tankful. I can live
with that.
Tata are the first big motor manufacturer
to take seriously the idea of compressed
air propulsion. They have already tested the
technology in two of their existing vehicles, to
show that it works, and now they are entering
a joint collaboration with Motor Development
International (MDI), which is the leading
player so far in this new technology.
Luxembourg-based MDI caused a bit of a
stir at the Geneva Motor Show in 2009 when
their distinctive AirPod car made its debut,
to much public acclaim. The three-seater
had three wheels, but it looked nothing like a
Reliant Robin. In fact it looked nothing like a
motor vehicle of any description – more like
a futuristic Portakabin, or a badly-designed
phone booth.
Looks aside, though, the AirPod had a

ONE DAY
range of 112 miles and a top speed
of 45mph, and it would take less than two
minutes to top up its 46-gallon tank of air,
compressed to 5,000 pounds per square
inch. For a car firmly aimed at urban driving,
that was all very acceptable.
Despite the fact that I’m really an
unreconstructed petrol head, this appeals
to me. The way I see it, if a bunch of boffins
in a little laboratory tucked away in a small
country notable only for its 1960s radio
station can get this technology working, just
imagine what would happen if some real
automotive heavyweights got stuck in. Why
it has taken Tata three years to get into bed
with MDI – and why no other manufacturer
didn’t leap in to steal the deal – is a genuine
mystery.
Perhaps there simply weren’t enough
engineers with loud enough voices. Maybe in
this surreal modern era of car design, where
WorldMags.net
LAND ROVER monthly August 2012 171
TORQUE TALK
style comes before substance, the genuine
engineer has become an endangered
species. I mean, where were the engineers
when Land Rover was crediting ex-Spice Girl
Victoria Beckham for designing the Range
Rover Evoque? They were very much in the
background, that’s where.
But I digress, as usual. And I’m being more
than a bit disingenuous. Obviously there are
brilliant engineers a-plenty at Land Rover
and Tata. And if they really are taking this
compressed air business seriously, there is
going to be some serious talent involved in
the projects to get this technology working.
Apart from the obvious benefit of cheap,
unlimited ‘fuel’, compressed air propulsion
has another huge benefit: simplicity. The
reason I’ve got a compressor in my modest
little workshop is because air tools are cheap,
effective and have a minimum of moving parts.
You just need a lubricated air supply and
away you go. What isn’t there to like?
Obviously it’s a big leap from a lightweight
(485lb) city car to a full-blown 4x4 weighing
nearly two tonnes. But Land Rover is already
taking great strides to reduce the weight of
its vehicles: new materials and a ruthless
approach to excess baggage mean the
imminent fourth-generation Range Rover will
be a slimmed-down shadow of the existing,
for example. Perhaps super-high-pressure
air will be stored, to boost power and range?
And remember that a propulsion system
based on compressed air does not require
a massive – and extremely heavy – internal
combustion engine.
It’s early days yet. And don’t let the picture
of the AirPod on this page put you off.
With Tata’s imagination and Land Rover’s
engineering brilliance, I reckon the day of the
air-powered 4x4 will come. Just remember
where you read it first.

TREASURE HUNT
Amazing vehicle discoveries seem to be happening all the time
these days – so what’s left to find in the Land Rover world?
H
ave you heard the story about the
20 buried Spitfire fighter planes
which are being brought back
home from Burma? 67 years ago
they were hidden 40 feet below
ground amid fears of a Japanese invasion;
rumours persisted of their existance but it
wasn't until Lincolnshire farmer David Cundall
found them – after a 15-year search, £130,000
of his own money and the use of state-of-
the-art radar scanning equipment – that the
wheels were set in motion for repatriation. I
assume that PM David Cameron is a bit of a
plane enthusiast as he personally did the deal
with the Burmese government – though it was
a nice piece of PR that Number 10 was very
happy with, no doubt. As I write this none of
them have been dug up yet, but it just goes to
show what unbelievable stuff is still out there.
Another great story I recently read – a highly
modified, bodged, rotten old VW Beetle found
a few years ago in a garden in Lithuania turned
out to be an extremely rare, prototype 1938
car. I have no interest in Volkswagons but the
amazing story of the discovery, the research
to prove the car’s origins and the restoration
gripped me; check out this mammoth thread
at www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.
php?t=340552. What I am very interested in
is traction engines and I was recently stunned
by the discovery of two largely complete, very
desirable and previously unknown engines in
the Australian outback. The stuff dreams (and
lottery wins) are made of.
In the Land Rover world the holy grail of
finds of this kind is the mythical Centre Steer.
Despite Rover engineer Arthur Goddard
confirming it was a rather useless machine and
quickly scrapped, you still find the odd person
insisting it is out there… somewhere.
A far more likely find is one of the 'missing'
pre-production Land Rovers. These were 48
pilot-build vehicles built in 1948 for evaluation
purposes and were the Land Rovers used
to introduce the breed to the world. Quite
different from production vehicles and often

unique in detail, they fetch big money
on the rare occasions when one changes
hands and are spread around the globe in
the hands of serious collectors. At least two
of the 48 have been confirmed as scrapped;
25 are still ‘lost’ or unaccounted for. Which
means dedicated enthusiasts, in the same way
as David Cundall and his Spitfires, have been
scouring far-flung places in search of these
elusive early 80s.
I knew little of this until recently, when I took
advantage of a benefit my membership of the
Series One Club (LRSOC) gives – online
access to the full back-catalogue of not only
the LRSOC magazine Legend, but also Full
Grille, the magazine of the Land Rover Register
1948-53. It was in this latter publication that I
read the adventures of Hugh Back, who lives in
Uganda and has made a habit of searching out
early Landies on his African travels – a batch
of pre-pros are known to have been exported
WorldMags.net

SMOKE RINGS
there, but as yet none have been found. He did
find several other early Land Rovers though
and it makes a great read. If you are into Series
Ones and haven’t joined the club yet, or if you
are like me and haven’t taken advantage of all
the benefits, get online and get reading.
I guess we are getting to a point where
any discovery of a really old Land Rover is of
interest. Series Ones are seemingly a given, as
even projects are getting expensive and if the
vehicle is largely original you are getting close
to ‘grail’ territory. Series IIs and older IIAs, if
un-messed with and complete are also good
finds, especially if they are a ‘rare’ model like
a six-cylinder Station Wagon in good overall
condition, a 2-litre 88 or a One Ton 109 or
something like that.
They don’t quite have the aura of those early
80s though. It’s not that they are technically
superior because, to drive, early 80s are
actually pretty awful compared to, say, a 1950
example. But it’s the history and the mystique;
something about that light green paint and
all those funny little ‘48 details that gets
people going. Just this week, a chap joined
the LRSOC forum with, what he thought, was
an ordinary 1951 80 that he had found in a
London lock-up. Sharp-eyed forumeers quickly
spotted several 1948/49 details along with
that magic light green paint, and I find myself
clicking back to check for updates when I
should really be doing something else.
There’s some great stories around of wild
goose chases, too. A chap in Australia drove
900kms to be met by… a light green Series III.
Another was told of an early, light green Landy
with a galvanised chassis, which turned out to
be a moss-covered ‘53 and throughly rotten.
But as someone says – rumours of pre-pros,
however unlikely, should be followed up.
You just never know…

choice for most Discovery

DASHBOARD
THE 300-SERIES dashboard
was a big step up from the old
200-series, and was used in
modified forms in both the Range
Rover Classic and the Discovery
II. A well publicised fault with
the glue used on the dashboard
top causing it to peel away led
many vehicles to have the dashes
replaced under warranty or
‘fixed’ with various DIY solutions
– usually involving self-tapping
screws.
Higher-spec Discos will
have airbags but generally
the dashboard is trouble free.
Heater matrixes are known to
‘go’, dumping coolant into the
footwells; replacement means
removal of almost the entire
dashboard. DIY-doable, but a
bit of a pain to say the least.
This Disco is very clean and tidy,
appearing to be well cared for.

However, they are – along

Miller, who bought it for the
same reasons many other Land
Rover folk do – it was great
value, safe and practical for his
young son and a ‘proper’ 4x4
capable of doing the business
when required. Steve’s had to
do a bit of work; the worst of the
corrosion has been dealt with and
the engine has recieved a new
cambelt and a bit of mild tuning.
As a result this Disco drives very
well indeed, with none of the
clonking, banging and wallowing
that many examples exhibit.
The suspension is often the
cause of a lot of these problems,
and if there is wear in all the
bushes, the dampers and the
springs, it can cost a fair amount
to sort out. It’s worth it though
as it completely transforms the
vehicle and makes it a lot safer to
handle, especially when towing.
There’s a lot to endear a
Discovery like this and for £1,250
it’s a bit of a steal, value-for-
money wise. The spares situation
is likely to remain good for many

Series One.
First off, we dragged the engine out of the
weeds. Got it to Pat’s workshop and somehow
hoisted it up on his motorbike lift to a workable
height. All the relevant nuts and bolts were
soaked in three-in-one oil. Pat couldn’t resist
putting the bar and socket on a few studs and
having a heave… but nothing happened.
I went home after making him promise to
spray away every few hours but to not try
anything until I got back the next day with the
big dobber breaker bar. This is three feet long
and one of my prized possessions.
The next morning it was ‘something equally
unfortunate’. I mean, I could have sworn that
this engine was properly balanced on the lift. I
even pushed and pulled it a bit to make sure!
Suffice it to say but little old weak me
managed to put so much into
swinging on my breaker bar that I pulled the
entire engine off the lift.
As it came towards me I swear, it all went
through my mind in a millisecond: ‘This dirty
great big lump of metal, with loads of sharp
bits is about to fall on my leg and foot and
possibly remove one or both.’
So I jumped backwards. Luckily I jumped
far enough and the engine just dropped onto
the concrete floor. However, I jumped too far
backwards and landed on the small of my
back on Pat’s trailer mudguard – one of those
curved springy things. Pat later said, when
he’d stopped laughing, that I bounced about
three feet in the air before landing, upside
down, on the trailer bed.
Luckily, again, the engine was not damaged,
Q We had a bit of a heatwave last month with
the usual result – a handful of cars driving
around with no rear number plate because the
heat loosened the glue on the tape.
Being Land Rover people me and Dennis
Taylor don’t believe in double-sided tape. We
believe in nuts and bolts and screws. However,
since getting our ‘new’ motors, Dennis’ Disco
ll and my P38, we’d missed our rear number
plates.
So, Dennis walked out of the house to find
his rear plate lying on the ground, and I walked
out to find mine held on by just the one piece
of tape. We’re both sorted, with self-tappers
now, of course.

Frank has been involved with Land Rovers for more
years than he cares to remember. He lives in Lancashire
