Digital Speedometer Kit, Defender MPH

Defenders without an ECU can step into the future with Rovers North's complete speedometer solution. This bright, easyto-read, water-resistant (sealed) gauge is not only accurate; it is driven by an electrical signal for smooth needle movement; no more annoying needlebob from the cable-driven speedometer. Users can easily adjust the built-in clock, brightness of the LED illumination, dial color and screen color. The conven ient auto-calibration feature means changes to gear ratios or tire sizes are no big deal: your speedometer will be accurate again with just a few pokes of the button and driving a mile.

This kit includes a VDO SingleViu 90mph Speedometer, our custom wiring harness, and VDO Hall effect sensor. For convenience, Rovers North has pre-configured the gauges and included easy-to-follow instructions. Installation should take about an hour or less. We can even pre-program your odometer reading! For odometer programming, be sure to add RND SKITP to your order as the odometer needs to be programmed before it ships.

forget to take off your radiator muff, causing the motor to overheat, and the warning light gets your attention as soon as the engine leaves normal operating temperatures, long before any damage is done. In the vehicle, CAN bus links all the gauges together so when the user ad justs the brightness or dial color, the settings are synchronized across all 4 gauges, creating a truly personalized instrument cluster.

RNDSKIT3

The speedometer wiring harness included in this kit is designed to seamlessly integrate with the wiring harness of Rovers North's new +3 gauge kit. This kit will incorporate match ing volts meter, water temp and fuel level gauges. Adding these three modern instruments will be as simple as swapping the gauges, plugging a tidy new wiring harness, connecting the sender wires for your water temp and fuel level and removing some of redun dant wiring. The +3 gauge kit dra matically reduces the rat's nest of wires behind your dash — the previ ously daunting task of removing your instrument panel can now be accomplished in seconds by removing just 6 connectors. The VDO SingleViu gauges all feature CAN bus connectivity which allows Rovers North to use the VDO SingleViu configuration software to pre-program countless characteristics of the gauges. For example, the water temp gauges will arrive configured for your motor. This could be invaluable if on the first warm day you

There was no one more “Fabulously British” than Queen Elizabeth II. She embodied the qualities of service, honor, intelligence and grace that characterize the spirit of the nation.

Jaguar Land Rover stated, “Our relationship with The Queen has been a source of great pride for all of us. The passing of Her Majesty the Queen has left everybody deeply saddened, and our thoughts and con dolences are with the Royal Family at this time.”

“As the UK’s longest reigning monarch, Head of the Commonwealth, Patron of more than 600 charities as well as a mother, grandmother and great grandmother, The Queen was a remarkable role model.”

“Most recently, it was a great honour for us to play a role in Her Ma jesty’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, marking her historic and extraordi nary reign. This was just one of many memories we are truly grateful for as part of our long-standing and continued connection with the Royal Family, and we shall deeply miss Her Majesty’s pioneering leadership and strength that provided this country with continuity, stability, and inspira tion through decades of enormous social change.”

Rebecca Mead, in The New Yorker, wrote, “She became monarch in the early hours of February 6, 1952 – although, famously, she remained unaware of her transmutation for several hours. King George VI died in his sleep as Elizabeth, his eldest daughter, was more than four thousand miles away, on a safari holiday in Kenya. ‘She became Queen while in a perch in a tree in Africa, watching the rhinoceros come down to the pool to drink,’ Harold Nicolson, the diplomat and politician, wrote in his diary.

A member of the royal party later recollected an auspicious occurrence: around sunrise, an eagle had soared over Elizabeth’s head at roughly the moment when the King died.”

At Rovers North, we remember that Queen Elizabeth drove her Land Rovers as their designers and engineers intended, and that she seemed genuinely delighted when she could sit behind the steering wheel of her Series and Defenders. Her spirit and her example will be missed deeply. ///

ver the Veteran’s Day weekend, Jaguar Land Rover North America held its first-ever Des tination Defender event in Saugerties, NY. They invited Defender enthusiasts to celebrate the winners of the De fender Service Awards, admire the full range of “Defenders” (from Series I’s to 2022 Defenders), enjoy light offroading, ogle enthusiasts’ Series and Defenders, share personal experiences and learn from the experts.

Sound familiar? If you’ve at tended Don Flye’s All Metal Dash (Petersham, MA), the British Invasion (Stowe, VT), the All British Car Meet (Portland, OR), among numerous others, you did just that – enjoy the vehicles and their enthusiast owners. We’re delighted that Land Rover North America wanted to recognize the Defender’s importance to the marque, and do so in a big way.

Land Rover once tagged the Series Land Rover as “The World’s Most Versatile Vehicle.” Today, this ver satility focuses more on the multiplicity of driving situations, from 2 mph to 130 mph, from green lane to offroad expedition, dirt road to interstate highway, with or without a trailer. The new Defender accomplishes that versatility quite well.

For Series enthusiasts, versatility meant one vehicle to ac complish everything, from transporting sheep to family members, expedition to leisure kit, from towing work trailers to campers, off-road or on-road. The brilliant engineering assured you of a long-lived vehicle whose maintenance you could perform on the ground, not over the air. That’s why Brian and Kathy Krafjack recently purchased their ’66 Series IIA 109”.

“This is my first experience with a Land Rover. I’d never owed one before,”

Brian told me. “What a hoot! We found it listed in Hemmings and bought it sight unseen from its owner in California. Because they all have to have names, we call it Tan Landy.”

Brian and Kathy took over the one store on Swan’s Island, ME, in 2014. The Island Market & Supply provides mail, freight and provisions to residents of Swan’s island and Frenchboro. “We bring the US mail, FedEx, UPS, and everything else from the mainland to Swan’s Island and Frenchboro.” Brian continued. “Tan Landy meets our delivery van at the ferry and from there, loaded with the mail, parcels, and groceries destined for French boro, she’ll transport me across the island to the Fisherman’s Co-op where we’ll load our mailboat, Northern Star, a repurposed pilot boat for our trip to Frenchboro. This repeats six-days a week, year-round.”

We’re pleased that JLR held its Destination Defender event, but Brian and Kathy could not attend with Tan Landy. To paraphrase Top Gear’s Richard Hammond, their Land Rover was far too busy doing something important, somewhere, for someone. ///

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ENTHUSIASTS / SPREADING THE WORD

Send submissions to: editor@roversnorth.com

Dear Rovers North,

Thank you for being a sponsor for the Rover Owners Association of Virginia's (ROAV) 2022 Mid Atlantic Rally (MAR). Your consistent sup port over the years has helped bring our club and event to the level that it is today. We would like to especially thank Jeff Aronson, Gene Schubert and Nick Cota for setting up a truly challenging RTV course. This course was one of the highlights of the event. Any RTV course that requires winching to get out of the 6th set of gates should be held in high regard! We will see you next year…. at the MAR!

David Short President, ROAV Sterling, VA

[Gene, Nick and I have finally dried out and scraped off the mud from our clothing! Thank you for the kind words, and especially for the hospitality and generosity demonstrated by everyone at MAR. We certainly hope to return! -ed.]

Dear Rovers North,

Back in October, 2020, we were driving along the beach at Cape Hatteras when we came across this grounded oyster boat. On a more recent visit, we found out that the National Park Service had brought an excavator and removed the boat from the shore.

[What a fascinating find! Thanks for sharing it with other Land Rover enthusiasts –ed.]

Dear Rovers North,

I have a BMW motorbike and am a member of MOA, which puts out a surprisingly good monthly magazine called BMW Owner News. It’s filled with articles about travel by motor cycle. Seldom is a car seen or mentioned in its pages, but in the August issue I was surprised to see a Defender 110 in an article titled “Remember to Breathe.” It’s about a woman going on a last-minute adventure tour in Nepal on –egads – a Royal Enfield. Of course one of the support vehicles is a Land Rover, doing what Land Rovers do so well.

Hope to catch up with you at the Mid Atlantic Rally!

[What better vehicle for an adventure in Nepal than a Defender! It was delightful to see you at MAR; thanks for all you help with the RTV course -ed.]

Peter and Beth Eady St. Petersburg, FL

I’ll see you in two weeks at the British Invasion in Stowe, VT, with my 1988 Defender 110 RHD V8. Looking forward to meet ing many of the Rovers North crew that I converse with weekly or monthly.

[It was a pleasure to take in all the Land Rovers at the 2022 British Invasion last September. We hope you enjoyed the camaraderie as much as we did –ed.]

Dear Rovers North,

While visiting The Farmhouse at Back Bay Brewing, I came across what appears to be a Defender 90 variant on the can of a potent IPA. Of course I had to bring some home to take for a “test drink” and I can assure you that the Hop Landy 90 lives up to Solihull standards! After a tasty pint, I thought I’d pose the Hop Landy with my Landy, a 1972 88 Series III (aka The Leaky Cauldron). I’d say they make quite the pair when parked.

I’ll close by telling you I’ve appreciated all the help and parts I’ve received from Rovers North over the last five years, and I really enjoy your magazine. Keep up the great work.

Col. Chris McCarthy, USMC, Ret. Virginia Beach, VA

[Thank you for the field report on the IPA. We agree that your Series III and the beer can look terrific together -ed.]

Dear Rovers North,

Your team is knowledgeable, patient, supportive and all-around awe some. My ’93 Defender 90 200 Tdi RHD has needed a lot of work and you guys have done an outstanding job of supplying what I need, when I need it. I do not know how much help you provide with Customs to Canada, but you get the parts through when I need them. Thank you!

[You own an appealing Defender and we’re delighted to be a part of your Land Rover experience -ed.]

Dear Rovers North,

I wanted to share this photo of my ’04 Discovery II SE, one of five that I own. I’ve cleaned it up and brought it back to the beauty that you see in this photo. It might have a few bumps and bruises, but it’s still just as beautiful as the day it made it to the States. I was a Land Rover mechanic at my local dealership for 10 years. I’m no longer working there but I’ve con tinued to work on them for 21 years for other enthusiasts and as a hobby for myself.

[We think it’s a stunning example of a Discovery II, and we admire your appreciation and photography of that wonderful model -ed.]

The Boxy Truck Circle Tour

This Land Rover trip started as most do – ordering parts from Rovers North.

My ‘60 Series II SWB Station Wagon had accumulated a need for the following: new brake shoes, clutch slave cylinder, starter motor, battery and power ports installed on the dashboard. Also, it cried out for fluid changes and the replacement of the broken studs that connect the exhaust manifold to the down pipe. Once accom plished, I could join other Minnesota Land Rover enthusiasts from the Twin Cities region in the “Boxy Truck Tour.”

Lake Superior borders the northeast corner of Minnesota, and the tourism people have laid out a route around it called “The Circle Tour.” Our trip would follow this route from Minnesota through Wisconsin and Michigan to Canada, then back to Minnesota.

Lake Superior has the largest surface water area of any lake worldwide with over 2,700 miles of shoreline, and the rolling hills of the Great North Woods hold dense forests dotted with streams, waterfalls and smaller lakes. We hoped to spot the usual wildlife in the region, but the moose, deer, turkeys and beavers tend to shy away. Mostly, this trip would chal lenge our Series Land Rovers on pavement. We know they’re fantastic off-road, but highway miles can tax both driver and vehicle. The multi-generational group, ranging from ages 3–64, would have a great opportunity to take it slow in our Series Land Rovers.

Above L-R: Spectacular scenery at campsites and on pavement. Background: Gustaf Kupetz’s positioning for a campsite

Tony Kieffer, who planned our camping sites, has been rebuilding his ‘64 109” Station Wagon for the last 12 years, but really accelerated his progress over the last year. Along with a galvanized chassis, he in stalled a completely rebuilt engine and drivetrain. It ran like a thor oughbred – albeit a thoroughbred mule. He joined me as we drove to John Wendt’s house to view his perfect ’67 109”. Five miles into our drive, my Series II started misfiring. I cleaned out the jets and the carb bowl but the misfires and stalling continued until I got close enough to hook up a tow strap and bring it into John’s garage. One multimeter test later, I changed out the coil for my spare. The problematic manifold studs proved very stubborn, and I resorted to having the manifold shop-welded to the down pipe and hoping for the best.

We met up with Ryan Lynch in his restored NAS 90, then drove the 180 miles to Gustaf Kupetz’s cabin just north of Duluth, arriving after dusk. I had not seen Gustaf in a long time, so I lured him out for a late night of sipping Aquavit. The next morning, Gustaf’s kids, Oskar (8) and Margaux (6), proved quite adept at throwing stuff in the back of his HiCap 110 300 Tdi. However, night driving revealed a burntout left headlamp on my Rover. As our convoy continued through Duluth, more electrical gremlins revealed themselves. I noticed my charging amps jumping around, hinting at a big electrical short. Inspection of the engine bay revealed

that the J-hook on the bat tery had stripped threads, allowing the battery to slide around in the metal frame. When I hit the brakes hard, the battery would slide for ward and short out. At a local auto parts store, I purchased and installed a new J-hook (and a headlamp); the t-shirt I had received at last July’s National Rally in Ouray, CO, served to help pack the bat tery in place. A necessary sac rifice. We then hit the road again.

On the way into Cornuco pia, WI, the charging light il luminated on my fascia. Normally, this indicates either the lead wire coming off the back of the generator, or a loose belt. This time, the tensioner bracket had broken in two! After locating the pivot bolt hidden in the sand, I removed the fan to get access to the bracket hole. I saw a marina just across the street from our lunch spot; there, I hoped to find a welder. A very affable, capable young man knitted the bracket back together, and we continued on our trek.

Their ‘66 Series IIA Marshall ambulance has all the comforts and conveniences of home

In Ontonagon Country, MI, we met up with Dave and Mary Allton at a campground. Their ‘66 Series IIA Marshall ambulance has all the comforts and conven iences of home. I took the opportunity to com plete a fluid check; only the right front swivel balls required more gear oil. This day’s travel brought us to a delight ful stretch of beach in Marquette, MI. Camping on the sands with the sounds of waves crash ing was delightful, and I found my Camel Tro phy-style bath in Lake Superior “refreshing.”

[Average water temperature is 40 degrees F -ed.]

Tony Kieffer and his wife, Shauna, and kids, Jack (3) and Annika (7) met up with us on our drive the next day on the way to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum and Whitefish Point Lighthouse on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. John made the dirt road route there more exciting by losing a disk brake pin, which resulted in a brake failure at the right front wheel. Fortunately, he carries spares! The museum provided a pro foundly moving experience, as we took stock of the tragic wrecks – a testament to the power of this lake. We crossed the border into Canada without incident and stopped at the fantastic Agawa (tourist trap) Store. This is a great place for provisions, fuel and hand-made Native mocca sins. We then proceeded to our planned overnight stay at Pancake Bay Provincial Park. It features a three-kilometer beach and crystal clear water at the campground’s edge. The kids could just run. The only in terruption of our reverie came from a park ranger, who informed us of the fines for beer drinking on the beach. He left us with a warning, pro vided that we dumped them out on the spot.

The next day, the rear section of Tony’s 109” exhaust rattled loose. He trimmed a Molson Canadian can to hold things together until we could find a real exhaust holder. A bit more sightseeing brought us to the Lake Superior Provincial Park in Ontario. The prehistoric rock paint ings describe how the Mishupishu horned lynx caused so much havoc in the area. In a Wawa, we were able to fortify ourselves with lunch and buff up Tony’s ex haust with metal and clamps from the nearby Canadian Tire. They really do seem to have everything.

Some calm overnights and gentle swooping hills and valleys at 25–50 mph lead us to the delightful town of Nipigon, ON. Our friend, Phil McGuire, has a farm there where he grows whatever is in season. His son-in-law, Roger, stopped by to say hello. On other trips, Roger has lead us through the Ontario forests to see bears, waterfalls and crystal clear lakes. It was great to catch up.

We continued on to Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. The General Store and Tea Room near the campground has been in place on Silver Islet since 1971, when an underwater silver mine provided local employ ment. The tea room became a lovely setting for a cup of Earl Grey!

Our last night on the Boxy Truck Tour ran quite late. Tony marked the occasion by sharing his “Land Rover Problem Solver” – a bottle of Dewar’s. After a slow start the next day, we crossed the border back into

the USA and continued on to the Minnesota Land Rovers yearly picnic. We had some tales to tell! This year’s picnic took place at the Trestle Inn (yes, it’s really built from abandoned railroad trestles), nestled within the Superior National Forest.

We described our experiences as mellow on us, but the 1,450 miles total took a toll on our stalwart ‘60’s Land Rovers. Thus, this trip ended as most do – ordering more parts from Rovers North. ///

Adventure

Out of the five Land Rovers in our household, I had only two good options for a 6,032-mile adven ture last July: “Sparky,” our ’89 Range Rover Classic, or “Westie,” our ’06 Range Rover L322. The latter, a newer acqui sition, has over 190,000 miles, but I’d driven Range Rover Classics for 25 years and Sparky for five years. With proper preventative maintenance, it had never let me down and thus I anointed it as the adventure vehicle.

The “to do” list before the trip in cluded a leaky power steering system, inoperative air conditioning and some cosmetics. Power washing the engine helped find the source of the leak (and resulted in a soaked distributor amplifier oops) and a decision to swap out a noisy alternator. The air conditioner required that I disassemble the dashboard – not fun, but it was the third time I’d done it. Time was running short for the remaining loose wheel bearing, wheel alignment and air conditioner recharge.

A long time ago, I’d made a sea voyage from Long Island, NY, to Virginia Beach, VA, in a 1938 Vineyard powerboat, and I found myself screwing down the compass in the cockpit as I was leaving the dock. This memory came back to me as I pushed the an alogue clock back into the fascia. Like the boat, Sparky would require fettling on this adventure.

I left Norfolk at night and discovered the dashboard lights would not illuminate and that I’d forgotten to reconnect the dimmer switch. These comprised Fix #1. Meanwhile, the Great Smoky Mountains lived up to their name; the “smoke” hovered over the water as fog rolled down the rivers. Sparky handled “The Tail of the Dragon” quite well, even in corners with speed limits of 15–20 mph.

In Nashville, I rectified two errors: forgetting to pack my sleeping bag and getting a haircut. Fix #2 repaired an inoperative driver’s side door lock. (A shady spot at an REI provided the perfect “shade tree ga rage.”) I also discovered Black Abbey Brewery, with its wide selection of Belgian beers, and rekindled a friendship with 6th-grade friend Scott Peterson and family (Elizabeth, Cooper and Millie). Downtown Nashville reminded me of Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras.

I headed out of Nashville early the next morning, but not long after, I heard a “pop” from the engine as the tachometer needle dropped to 0 and the Range Rover coasted to the side of the road. All levels of disaster ran through my head. Lifting the hood, I expected to see a deluge of fluids, but no – nothing. The engine would crank but not fire up. I began the process of fuel, fire, air (or food, water, shelter, as my daughter Logan says). I checked the spark from the coil by pul ling the wire from the distributor and setting it close to metal. Spark! Crap! Onto fuel – I cracked the line near the fuel rail. It dripped and after turning the key, the drip intensified; thus, the fuel pump worked.

I called more knowledgeable ROAV enthusiasts Ralf Sarek, David Short and Drew Swoboda; Drew asked if I had checked for spark from the distributor – I had not. I pulled a wire from the distributor cap, held it close to the terminal – and nothing. To double-check, I pulled the coil wire from the top of the cap and held it close to the terminal. The result was, err, shocking – don’t do this at home! Meanwhile, David Short contacted friends in Tennessee – no joy – so my host Scott drove two hours to secure a rotor for me. Once installed, the motor fired up and sounded terrific.

With the Range Rover running well, and with the benefit of cooler temperatures, I decided to make up for lost time. I knocked down state after state until I reached Kansas. Why is it so long a drive? I discov ered it may be flat but it’s not level; one border lies at 600 ft, while the other sits at 3,000 ft. Overall, it took me an additional 19 hours and 1,400 miles of driving with only stops for fuel, but I finally made a Walmart parking lot in Colorado Springs at 12:30 am local time.

The next day, over Monarch Pass to Ridgeway, Sparky began to run rough again. When I met up with the Virginians also attending the

National Rally (Mike Boggs, Ralf Sarek, Bob Steele, Doug Crowther, David Short, Clay Ayers, among others), we turned onto the Million Dollar Highway and Sparky stopped running. Pulling the rotor on and off seemingly revived the Classic; I called Rovers North for another rotor, but it wasn’t until nighttime that I saw sparks emanating from the plug wires. There lay the source of my running issues and burnedout rotors.

My drive west coincided with the Solihull Society’s National Rally, and I enjoyed every moment of my time along Imogene Pass (I never get tired of that one) and Yankee Boy, and enjoyed following pinch-hit ting trail leader Mike Boggs through Ophir Pass. I experienced torrential rains and enormous hailstones, but also stunning sunsets – that’s what my Range Rover Classic made possible.

Always nice to off-road with other enthusiasts

I packed up, said my goodbyes and hit the road toward Price, Provo and Salt Lake City, UT. I enjoyed terrific hikes around Salt Lake City, and continued driving toward Logan, UT (in honor of my daughter, of course) and the Tetons. The next morning, as I drove further up a trail to get closer to those majestic mountains, they really started to show their colors. At Taggart Lake, I witnessed a near picture-perfect reflection of the Tetons in the clear waters. It was mesmerizing. Then, on the way to Colter, a herd of buffalo stopped traffic by sauntering across the road. Man, they are big!

I entered Yellowstone National Park and enjoyed several hikes there. I discovered that Old Faithful is always faithful. Continuing north on the way toward Montana, I found more buffalo – but also discovered that mudslides had blocked both exits from the park in my preferred direction. I guess I had to spend more time in the park! Yellowstone fascinated me with its varied topography. The geysers appear in a valley while the east gate region reminded me of the canyons around Gunnison, CO. Crossing the Montana-Wyoming border, I entered the 2.5 million acre Shoshone National Forest and drove by the 350-ft high Buffalo Bill Dam and Reservoir. The city of Cody, WY, is named after him.

To meet my schedule, I had to leave the off-road trails and nar row roads for the great American highway system. Sparky cruised at 75–80 mph, yet returned 16 mpg on my 17-hour journey to Co manche Campground in South Dakota’s Black Hills National Forest. I took a break to hike the scenic trails in Custer State Park and make the obligatory stop to stare at Mt. Rushmore. I would treat myself to another hike in Minnesota with views from bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River and a “down day” with friends, but eventually, I had to get back home. I knocked back many miles in Wisconsin, Illi nois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia and finally, on Sunday, August 7, home at last.

Of my 18 days and 6,032 miles, I spent 4 nights camping, 3 nights sleeping in the back seat, 1 night in an AirBnB and 9 nights with friends and family. I discovered 6 breweries and savored 5 taco meals. I saw the splendor of the Rockies, the majesty of the plains, the mighty Mississippi and endless vistas on stunning hiking trails. Plus, I accomplished all of this in an ’89 Range Rover Classic, my favorite Land Rover. ///

Maine Misfits Rover Bits And

M

any New England Land Rover enthusiasts have come to recognize John Vallerand and his stash of used Rover parts. He’s very hard to miss with his ZZ Top-length beard and heavy Maine accent. He attends many of the oldschool British auto events such as the All Metal Dash and British Invasion to promote his treasures.

For the past three years, John has kicked around the idea of hosting a Land Rover event at his 200-acre property in Greene, ME. Near his house lies a graveyard of old Land Rovers, ranging from Series I’s to Range Rover Classics. John has no social media presence, so spreading the word would rely solely on his phone contact list. When I offered to help publicize it through Instagram and FaceBook, I told him he should create a catchy name for the event. He immediately fired back with “Maine Misfits & Rover Bits.” I told him it was too long and didn’t really flow. He replied, “I’m from Maine. I don’t belong to any group and I have a bunch of Rover bits to sell.”

With that statement of stubbornness, the debate ended.

John set the dates of August 19–21 for Maine Misfits & Rover Bits. We invited every model of Land Rover. We promised 200 acres of trails, rustic camping (with the option of hotels in neighboring Lewiston), campfires, a Saturday dinner and access to Rover parts from the “boneyard” as well as those stored inside the barn. John ordered a couple of porta-potties, set up a potable water station and purchased eighty pounds of chicken breast and two large beef briskets. The weekend prior to the event, John and his son Vince, along with their friend Heidi, went out into the woods to clear a few overgrown trails. They also nailed up large arrow signs to direct traffic where the trails didn’t offer an obvious path.

By midday on Friday, the 19th, the Land Rovers began to roll in with attendees staking claims to the best camping spots. The sites spread out from John’s lawn to the side of his barn, to those nestled in the forest, set back from the rows of Land Rovers. Luckily the forecast called for hot and sunny weather, the best possible camping conditions. Some campers had full cooking set-ups with planned menus; for example, Mike Kenney and his famous deep-fried donuts with chocolate covering. While many brought their own campfire coffee apparatuses, John generously served endless cups of coffee and pastry from his wrap-around porch, so those who didn’t bring coffee gear had no worries.

Throughout the three days, we counted a total of 102 Land Rovers that rolled onto the property, including Mark Letorney’s Defender. (It would have been 103 but our Editor, Jeff Aronson, showed up in his Triumph TR7, whining about “ferry problems.” Harumpf!) Some came for a short visit while others spent the entire weekend at John’s place. By the time breakfast was finished on Sunday, there were approximately 30 Land Rovers still there, mostly people who had camped out.

Maine Misfits had all the components of a classic Land Rover gathering. It was a chance for old friends to catch up, meet new comers and deepen connections with those who only knew each other from afar. The event brought vehicles from all over New England and the Northeast.

The “wheeling” element of the gathering was incredible. The trails provided numerous challenges with many levels of difficulty. The trails ranged from barely beaten paths to green lanes and boasted rock

ledges, mud ruts and water crossings. All weekend long, groups of 3–10 Land Rovers would leave the main staging area and head down one of several paths to hit the trails. Those that started out with light mud on Friday became churned up into full-blown mud ruts by Sunday. Before leaving for home on the final day, my wife Robin and I foolishly went out for one last solo run in my Series III. Once we reached the far end of the property, my Land Rover sank to its axles in the thick mud. What would have been a 15-minute run took us an hour to free ourselves and make our way back to camp.

My favorite part of the event was the “night wheeling.” At sun set on both Friday and Saturday, small groups headed out to explore the woods. When it’s dark, the trails offer a whole new set of chal lenges. You are unable to see some of the ruts, obstacles and routes that lie ahead. Luckily, Vince Vallerand led our group, as he knows the property very well. Don Jenks completely bogged down in a swampy patch; with no nearby tree to hook onto, he attached a tow strap to the vehicle ahead of him. With a quick lunge forward, that truck thrust sideways and ended up on a stump. Jesse Ackerman then left the front of the group in his modified ‘03 Discovery II to circle back and pull the Rovers backwards to hard ground. These night runs had us out for 3–4 hours, mostly recovering each other.

Years ago, Vince had aptly named one of the sections, “The Money Pit” due to breakage of axles and smashing of body parts. It’s basically a swamp with trees growing up through it. On Saturday night we entered this area, which led to eight of the ten Land Rovers being submerged up to their sills in the thickest mud I have ever seen. Vince made it through on his monster truck and aided in the recovery of each subsequent vehicle. The only other one that made it through unscathed was Forrest Clifton in his highly modified Defender 110.

The Maine Misfits feast took place on Saturday evening. John wheeled out his massive custom grill midday; it is so large that he was able to cook all 80 pounds of chicken breasts at once. Perplexed by how to keep the grill’s thirty pound cover open, John modified it by installing a Series bonnet hinge to prop it up. Next to the jumbo grill, Kevin Gagnon manned a large meat smoker with two lean beef briskets that had been cooking for two days. Add to this, fresh corn on the cob, coleslaw, salads and a plethora of desserts, and your have a feast fit for any Rover king.

Following the dinner came a short awards ceremony; well, I should say “award” in the singular. Gavin Warren of Red Rover Parts took an old Series IIA ring gear (crown wheel), powder coated it, and engraved the Maine Misfits logo on it. The award went to the at tendee with the most damage done to his/her vehicle. Tommy Blair grinned as he accepted the award. The day before, Tommy had taken his [mid-90s Range Rover Classic] up over the rock ledge section

called “Tree Hugger.” The Range Rover tilted sideways, came down over the ledge and rested against a tree that leaned toward the rock. That buckled the whole roof section above the rear passenger win dow, smashing the glass as well. Shortly afterwards, he tried it going in the opposite direction and the exact same thing happened to the driver’s side rear window and roof section.

Maine Misfits was truly one of the most entertaining events I’ve been to in a while. It had all the components that make a great Land Rover event: good food, good trails, good friends. It brought to gether people that I’d normally not see in the middle of summer. I’m really looking forward to next year’s “Second Annual – Maine Misfits & Rover Bits” event. No dates have been set at this time, but it will most likely be mid-August. Hope to see you there! ///

The Art of Driving Slowly

As a kid in rural New Zealand during the 1970s, I saw Land Rover Series vehicles on farms everywhere, from Bluff to Cape Reinga. Bouncing around in the back of my uncle’s 109” became the highlight of my visits to his farm. One day during the lambing season, he asked me to drive –my legs barely long enough to push in the clutch. He taught me to go, stop and steer well enough to follow him and the dogs while they herded the sheep. We named the Land Rover the “Jolly Green Giant.” Clearly more than just a car, it had a unique personality with which I bonded like no other vehicle. It served as a channel marker in my life, when I took that major step from passenger to driver. It left an indelible mark.

As a 20-something, my mates and I started an adventure travel company, the Oz and Kiwi Experience. We turned to Defender 110s for everything from airport shuttles to overlanders. Nothing – and I mean nothing – screamed exploration and independence to our tens of thou sands of customers like a Land Rover.

Land Rovers continued their pivotal role in my life. I picked up my newborn kids up in a new ’98 Range Rover P38, towed our boat with our ’95 Defender 110, explored America in my ‘05 Range Rover L322 and re cently, enjoyed head-turn ing cruises in a restored ’95 Range Rover Classic. When the summer of 2022 pre sented me with a monthlong work break, I took the plunge and sourced a lovely one-owner, ‘94 Defender 90 in Italy. I had always coveted one and I named her Rosie, an homage to her Portofino Red paint.

Within days of wiring money to the owner, I landed in Venice and took the train to Bassano Del Grappa where she sat patiently waiting for me. The seller had checked all the fluids and prepared her for a drive-about. Along with the keys, he handed me a folder with the title and maintenance receipts. As I climbed in and fired up the 200 Tdi, I beamed from ear to ear. What had been a grand idea a few weeks ago was now a reality!

The cobbled streets of the second-century town bounced us around, and the locals who knew her instinctively waved, then looked surprised not to see her previous owner behind the wheel. I had devel oped a simple but brilliant plan, “Go north, and see what happens.” We joined a motorway which wound through the Dolomites. As I shifted through the gears, “air conditioning” on full blast (both windows down and the sunroof open) to combat the heatwave gripping Europe, I dis covered it took over 40 seconds to accelerate to the estimated top speed of 110 kph. A speed demon Rosie was not, and she worked harder than

a one-legged tap dancer to get up through the mountain passes. As an unabashed gearhead with a stable full of high-performance vehicles, my anxiety levels rose as every car, truck, and even the local vicar on his electric bike passed me.

“Oh my God, what have I got myself into?” I thought, as Rosie struggled on. The heat rose, as did my anxiety and perspiration. The lack of speed and my status as a mobile hazard stressed me out. I needed to stop and recalibrate. After a bowl of pasta and a glass or two of red, I was ready to hit the road again, destination Levico Terme, a lovely town in the Dolomites famous for its health-restoring natural springs. As we joined the motorway with reduced expectations of get ting anywhere quickly, Rosie quickly rewarded me for my newfound patience.

The open windows provided a sublime sensory overload. The warm air caressed my skin and tussled my hair; it brought with it the alpine smells of forests, temperature variations from forest to farmland and even a slight chill as we crisscrossed streams and rivers. My slower speeds meant I could look around, soak in the incredible scenery and even take my eyes off the road for a moment without fear of sending us into the back of a lorry. Cruising along at 80 kph, I found myself on a road that beckoned me with many more, welcome life changes.

The following day, we headed west through the Italian Alps to Lake Como. The air was much cooler at altitude. Thick forests gave way to large swaths of open farmland, vineyards and fields of sunflowers. As Rosie and I had determined we were in no hurry, I altered the Google Maps settings to avoid highways, sending us “off-piste” through the backroads and villages of the Italian Alps. On these backroads, we felt at home. We became part of the agricultural and unhurried lifestyle of rural Italy. I had felt like a road hazard on the highways; on these twisty narrow roads, with speed limits ranging from 30 to 80 kph, we became part of the scenery. Instead of flashing lights, we were greeted with smiles and waves.

An important recognition became apparent as I settled into Rosie’s casual cadence. Stopping would not dramatically impact my day – so stop we did. At sites of spectacular beauty, of which there are too many to count, we would pull over and take it all in. If I felt like taking a cof fee or replenishing Rosie’s diesel reserve, we did so at a local café or bar, or at a gas station, where inevitably an aging uniformed gentleman would happily assist with the process, communicating as best we could with smiles and a laugh.

Over the next few days, as we drove the Alps, then the shores of Lake Como, though wine country to the legendary town of Monza and into Genoa, Rosie taught me a valuable and timely lesson in life. This my friends, is what she whispered in my ear beneath the clattering of tappets:

“Graeme, you’re going to get to where you need to go; let’s enjoy the journey as much the destination.”

By Genoa I’d become a convert. Getting behind the wheel induced an immediate, Zen-like response and all my worries washed away. But to be fair, I didn’t know Rosie that well and I wanted to make sure she remained healthy, so I decided to visit the temple of all things Defender, home of legendary mechanic Maurizio Ferrando of Tecnomeccanica Sport.

Maurizio has wrenched on racing cars, restored everything from the ‘70s Velar Range Rover prototype to every model of De fender. I knew this kindred spirit would be just the man to give Rosie a going over following our 1000+ km shakedown, and instill a sense of confidence in me.

Maurizio greeted me like a long-lost friend; the kinship of Land Rover owners runs deep with genuine respect for one another. He inspected Rosie, giving her the thumbs up, complimenting her solid frame and drivetrain. While waiting for an oil filter to arrive, we walked around his village, sipped coffee and chatted to his neighbors at a café. Following a full fluid change and lubrication, Rosie and I hit the road again and contemplated where to go next.

While sipping a late afternoon, beachside prosecco, I noticed huge ferries heading in and out of the Genoa port. I discovered their destina tions would be Sardinia and onto Barcelona, where I had a series of work meetings. This new plan went into immediate effect, and the following day Rosie and I boarded a ferry to Porto Torres.

Our layover in Sardinia provided the glimpse I needed to fuel a desire to return. Here I found quaint historic villages, incredible scenery and crystal-clear waters in vivid shades of blue. The hotels and restau rants offered tremendous values, more so than the mainland, and the locals welcomed visitors with genuine delight.

An early morning start found us loaded aboard the next ferry to Barcelona. Fourteen hours later, after a peaceful crossing, Rosie stood

out as we made our way through the narrow streets and lanes, garner ing warm smiles and waves of approval from tourists and locals alike. After completing our mandatory work tasks, we took the back roads to Monserrat, through the beautiful mountain principality of Andorra, and meandered along the Pyrenees, west through France, to Biarritz.

We arrived during the Fêtes de Bayonne festival, which meant that most towns and villages in the area were filled with Basques clad in traditional white, with red scarves and waist bands. From Biarritz we crossed back into Spain, stopping in San Sebastian and the historic and beautiful city of Bilbao. The drive to Santander provided vistas of hill side vineyards, lush forests of soaring trees in brilliant hues of green.

I wanted to take Rosie to Solihull, her ancestral home, so we boarded a Brittany Lines ferry for a 28-hour crossing to Portsmouth. Once there, we made our way, slowly of course, through the British countryside where – except for her left-hand drive – she blended in perfectly. We paused at Stonehenge and joined hundreds of others, baffled by how these massive stones were assembled, before the last push to the British Motor Museum at Gaydon, where Rosie’s royal rel atives were on fine display. These included the Queen and Queen Mother’s fleet of Land Rovers from a Series 1 to a 110 Defender and several custom Range Rovers. Rosie’s excitement was visible from the oil spots she left on this hallowed turf.

We completed her pilgrimage home by traversing the final 25 miles to the gates of the Land Rover factory, a tribute to the site of Rosie’s birthplace. Having made this pilgrimage, she would continue her adven tures with me in the USA, joining my ’95 Range Rover Classic and an ’05 Range Rover HSE.

Over a few thousand kilometers and four weeks, Rosie taught me something I had not known, but now appreciate beyond words: the art of driving slowly. ///

Wet N’ Wild

The 2022 Solihull Society National Rally

For the last six years, I’ve served on the planning commission of the Solihull Society’s National Rally, which included working with Arizona Land Rover on the 2021 Great American Rover Rally. It started with a passion for my Land Rovers and has leaked (pun intended) into the joy of seeing others share that enthusiasm –on the trails and off.

The Land Rover National Rally (LRNR) takes place in various mountainous places in Colorado on even-numbered years, and in Moab, UT, well, because it’s Moab, on the odd years. This past July’s locale was Ouray, CO, known as the “Switzerland of the Rockies.”

However, my husband Jake and I tested positive for Covid-19 –the day before we were set to leave to set up camp. I can just hear Alanis Morrisette singing “Isn’t it Ironic” in the background as I write. Not ironic (as nothing is in the song) but the worst timing I could have had since the start of the pandemic! 2022 became the first year since I’ve been a Rover fangirl that I could not participate, let alone volunteer.

Although I did not experience the excitement first-hand, friends who attended the rally shared their stories of the mudslides, extreme wet weather and all-around fun. Each answered the same questions during my interviews.

TL: How did this year compare to other rallies you've attended?

TC: I’ve been attending LRNRs since 1995, which was held in Red River, NM. I will tell you I have enjoyed every one of them. Each event seems to stand out for one reason or another. Some years it's a new friend, others it's a particularly interesting trail and other years, it’s a low-key event. Because of those three things, I have missed very few rallies over the years. John Wood’s Distillery is a highlight for me whenever I’m in Ouray!

TL: What was it like to be a Trail Leader?

TC: This year, I led Ophir Pass, Alta Lakes and Last Dollar on Day One. Then I led Yankee Boy Basin, and by Friday, participants were looking for something scenic (haha), so Andy Snow and I took a group up to Clear Lake – very scenic and highly recommended.

One of the people in our group was a young woman in her new Discovery 5. It had no transfer case, lockers or aggressive tires but it was unstoppable. Oh, and a Bond Edition was there too. There’s something special about that V8 rumble!

TL: I heard the weather was... interesting?

TC: I’ve enjoyed rally weather of all types, but this year gave us some thing new: mudslides. In both instances we snuck out in the nick of time, so I just saw the images. We had very high winds that day. I led

the group from Tellu ride on Last Dollar; by the time I arrived back at the campground, one of my tent fly mullions had snapped in two.

TL: How did your Land Rover hold up?

TC: As for the rig, no lights until I arrived back in Denver. I had taken it through the car wash, but by the other end of the (Eisenhower) Tunnel, no lights! The Land Rover Whisperer has always been there for me.

MH: As Colorado natives, we’d never been to that part of the state before. We found the scenery stunning and we look forward to get ting back down there. I’ve attended several LRNRs dating back to the late ‘90s – Crested Butte, Breckenridge, Leadville and Moab – and this seemed pretty similar. Unlike Moab, the trails in Ouray are not as challenging, which meant no real breakage!

MH: I led day-long trails at Minni Gulch, Maggi Gulch, Eureka Gulch, Ophir Pass, Alta Lakes, Gold King and Black Bear Pass.

We stayed in Ridgeway at the Ridgeway Lodge and Star Saloon. It was close enough to Ouray and Telluride for us to head in each di rection on Thursday to explore the two towns.

As for the weather, it was the monsoon season and according to the locals, it hadn’t rained as much as it did in quite some time. Nev ertheless, the weather didn't affect our experience at all. On Tuesday, we were stopped by a mudslide for about two hours on Highway 550 on our way back to town after running trails, but we just stood out in the rain, talked about the day, had a few laughs and watched the highway crews do their thing!

All in all it was a great rally and we had a wonderful time!

TN: The last time we were in Ouray in 2019, some of the trails were closed due to snow. This year we did Imogene Pass, Ophir Pass, Alta Lakes, Corkscrew Gulch and Black Bear Pass. Black Bear was the trail I was most excited about, since I had only done this once in 2013. The views were stunning and the switchbacks very, very tight, but no problem for the turning radius of an LR3.

Although the weather was rainy and our tent had a very small leak appear mid-week, all was well at the KOA where we camped near other Land Rover owners from multiple states. Three Minne sota Land Rover members attended this year: Rik Olsen in his Bond Edition Defender, our friend Adam in “Disco Dave,” his Discovery II, and ourselves.

The LR3 had some overheating issues heading West past Den ver up the mountain highways. As usual, when the temp gauge started moving up, I turned off the A/C and cranked up the heat to give some extra cooling to the system. The last time I did it, no heat came out – uh oh! My coolant had pushed out of the system and I needed Dexcool. None was available at a nearby gas station. We drove on to the next town, but the gas station there only had the green stuff. We had made it to the tiny town of Sargents, a place with no cell service but with WiFi. I could make a WiFi call (gotta love technology) to Rob Quaife, who just happened to be on the other side of a nearby mountain pass. Twenty minutes later, he and his wife Deb arrived. They drove me 30 minutes to the next town, where I bought more Dexcool, and returned me safely to my LR3.

TN: Even though it rained daily until the last day, we didn’t have too much trouble on the trails. Imogene Pass got a little sketchy with some traffic jams on the narrow, single-track lanes, but we managed to get off the trail. Valerie and I did Corkscrew Gulch ourselves on Thursday; low visibility meant we were driving in the clouds!

The Bon Ton (old school Italian restaurant) in Ouray has some incredibly great food where we enjoyed a meal with Dr. Rob and his wife. We also hit the excellent Ouray Brewery with our Chicago friends Ian and Marianne Rogenski who we met in 2013 – ah, the circle of Rover life.

Overall, things were good with the organization of the rally, which I understand had been hit with the absence of personnel due to illness, business and just about every other thing that could go wrong. The Solihull Society members banded together quite well and pulled off another successful rally!

DW: We had a great time, since this was our second Land Rover rally. Over the winter, we kept in touch with several folks whom we met last year in Moab, so it was great to see them and run trails with “old friends.”

Even though it rained almost every day, we didn’t mind since we were in the luxurious

cabin of our LR4. Had it been a motorcycle or mountain bike rally, that would’ve been another story. We were lucky not to get caught in any mudslides, but we know of several who did, several times. We’ll take rain over forest fires any day, month or year.

I’ve been adventure motorcycling since 2014, so I’ve ridden most of the trails and high alpine passes around Ouray, but never in any 4x4. We wheeled California, Hurricane, Cinnamon and some of the more exciting passes such as Imogine, Ophir, Black Bear, Engineer and Min eral Creek.

Ouray is always one of our favorite destinations. Incredible views, people enjoying the outdoors in various ways and, of course, the hot springs. The Cocktail Party at K J Wood’s Distillers was very fun with a great atmosphere. It was cool to hear how John Wood was involved with Solihull Society in the past and how his son is now getting into the sport.

It wouldn’t be a Land Rover rally if we didn’t have a mechanical issue, right? Mineral Creek was the most challenging trail we ran this rally. My LR4 performed well; however, with all the rain making the rock

features wet & slippery, I managed to take a strange line & wigged out one of my height sensors, dropping it down to the bump stops. Mineral Creek is too rocky to drive out on the bump stops, but luckily, I’d brought a GAP Diagnostic IID tool and was able to raise it back up and make it to Lake City.

The people I interviewed were friends I’ve made over the years wheeling at events. Listening to their stories, it struck me that – like me – they happened to drive LR3s and LR4s. These newer vehicles, including a Discovery 5 and new Defenders, dominated this year’s numbers. Only one Series Land Rover came to the event, but without a roof and under the torrential rains, they left on the second day!

Each year, I’ve looked forward to the Land Rover National Rally from the day the previous one ends. If you’re like me, you’ll register for Moab in 2023 as soon as it opens in January, 2023, at the Soli hull Society.org website. Hope to see you there! ///

Land Rover Peabody, MA

Land Rover Peabody services Massachusetts’ “North Shore,” one of four Land Rover dealers in the state. This year’s team included Steven Em (Service Advisor), Eric Guenard (Sales) and Harrison Preston (Service Tech).

Harrison Preston summarized the event as, “Awesome!

We had to come to gether through diffi cult challenges, and we did. I also love the competition aspect. We chose to not have a captain; we worked together to figure out our individual skills. My favorite challenge was the Defender forward pull using only winch line – but no winch! Taking compass bearings at the top of the hillside was the hardest. And the weather – it poured during our wave and I wound up in a mud puddle.”

Steven Em said, “I didn’t know really what to expect. I wasn’t ready for the obstacle course. TReK was challenging physically and mentally. As we drove from Mahwah to Vermont, we agreed that any decision would be made on a majority vote. We might bicker, but we agreed to go with the vote. We played to each other’s strengths. I also learned more about my teammates.” His favorite challenges? “Using the hi-lift as a come-along. Also, the spare tire carry in the woods as we prevented each other from falling on the slippery trails.”

Eric Guenard: “I’ve been at Land Rover Peabody for 11 years – daily, I see all the displays about TReK on our walls. When no one on the sales team wanted to go, I said, ‘Hell, Yah!’ All of the competition and outdoor activities appealed to me. For me, the reverse trials course drive was pretty tough. The best one for me was the relay race that morning. I’m not a runner, but I came in first. That was special for me because I’m never first! I do CrossFit, and I thought I was in good shape, but I could not run up the distance of that hill. To my chagrin, I ended up walking the last part.” ///

After dragging myself out of my tent at 6:00 am for a second full day of competitive off-roading, physical fitness tests and problem solving with my team, I nodded in agreement. Sean Gorman, the mountain man in question, took the lead in creating the challenges for this year’s TReK. His laconic voice masked the difficulties presented by the maniacal tasks that had Land Rover teams panting from fatigue, stressing over timed decisions made in the field and learning of the hidden capabilities of their new De fender 110s.

TReK became a marque identity event in 1996, the brainchild of Bob Burns and Tom Collins, the creators of Land Rover’s special events. Burns intended TReK to emulate a “Camel Trophy Lite” that would create “product zealots” of the often-isolated sales, service, parts and administrative staff at Land Rover dealerships. Then-CEO Charlies Hughes gave it the go-ahead.

This year’s competition brought together 100 three-person teams (90 from the U.S. and 10 from Canada). The teams competed in identi cally kitted-out 2023 Land Rover Defender 110s. The winning team from each wave of competition will return to Manchester for the TReK 2022 Finals, and the crowning of the overall winner as we go to press.

Every event had a time limit, and the tasks fell one upon another, making for long days and nights.

Ron McIntyre had several reasons to enjoy his first TReK. “We don’t get to work together a lot, but by Day 2, we were all on the same page as a team. Also, at 58 years old, I’ve been getting in shape. I’m not a spring chicken, so I was surprised by the physicality of it all. We did pretty good as a team while having a lot of fun.”

Justin Alley said, “it was great to get to know the guys better. Lots of driving between New Jersey, Vermont and Maine. We spent time in stressful situations. My favorite was the fly fishing. The one we did the best on was the Defender pull using only the winch rope, and the cone challenge. I’ve never been a runner – the starting obstacle course was the toughest.”

Pete Warren: “I’ve been here for 16 ½ years. I work with Ron and Justin individually, but I didn’t know how we would work as a team. You can’t just have one person – everyone must work together. I had a blast. I was not a fan of the relay runs. Personally, as a tech, the tire change was really easy for me. The cone driving challenge was the most inter esting as a team, and the high lift jack was the most challenging.” ///

The only dealer in the state sent a team for the second year to TReK. Veterans Noah Sanders and Jim Chafe were joined by Randy Schneider heinz for this year’s competition. (As we go to press, they are competing in the final wave.)

Derek Butts, the Center Manager, said, “The TReK competition holds tremendous value for our organization. First, it encapsulates the ethos of Land Rover by utilizing the capability of the vehicles over challenging terrain. Second, the event builds enthusiasm throughout our entire deal ership as our team members support the performance of the three indi viduals competing in TReK. Lastly, it broadcasts to the community that we ‘get it’ – that we fully understanding what these vehicles are capable of accomplishing. Overall, this event pays dividends well beyond the measured expense of participating.” ///

It Started With A Badge

Irecently saw the “Rover Diesel” badge advertised on Rovers North’s website – a part that I have been in search of for some time. After buying and installing the badge on my 90, I renewed my inter est in the history of the Land Rover diesel engines.

Diesel engine design makes the most efficient use of fuel. Initially, the fuel is injected at the end of the compression stroke, and the high temperature caused by this compression ignites the fuel. Inventor Rudolf Diesel theorized that higher compression would lead to higher efficiency and more power. He turned out to be right – a gasoline engine compresses at a ratio of between 8:1 to 12:1, while a diesel engine compresses at a ratio of 14:1 to as high as 25:1.

In 1954, Rover Cars Managing Director Spencer Wilks brought in Allan Botwood as the company’s first Sales Director, and Botwood seems to have seized on the idea of a diesel engine option as a way of increasing Land Rover sales. Rover’s engineers first looked at the Stan dard 2.1 litre engine for the Land Rover, but it would not fit into the engine bay. It was probably at this point that Maurice Wilks gave his Chief Engine Designer, Jack Swaine, the job of drawing up a new diesel engine for the Land Rover.

This task presented a whole host of problems. Rover had never designed a diesel engine before and the company had no expertise on board. The rapid expansion of Land Rover production gobbled up all the spare factory space. Embarking on the design and production of a brand-new diesel engine was not a step Rover could take lightly. However, in 1955, the termination of a Ministry of Supply contract to build tank engines freed up space at the Rover’s Acocks Green plant.

Equally important, Wilks and Swaine devised a strategy which involved designing the new diesel engine in tandem with a new petrol engine. A common engine design would enable the manufacture of both engines on the same tooling and they could share components in common. Swaine received outside assistance from Ricardo Engineering for the combustion chamber design, but the basic architecture remained Swaine’s: pushrod-operated overhead valves through a chain-driven camshaft. Both petrol and diesel engines would have a three-bearing crankshaft and roller cam followers. The petrol engine would have a single carburettor, and the diesel would have Pintaux-type injection nozzles along with a mechanically governed CAV injection pump.

To guard against problems of premature bore wear, Swaine made sure the diesel would have adequate cooling by using a “wet-liner” design, where the bores had removable liners (for ease of replacement) which had coolant circulating all round their outsides. The petrol engine

would not need such protective measures, and by omitting the liners, it benefited from larger-diameter pistons which would give the engine better performance. The diesel engine had a swept volume of 2052cc while the petrol would have 2286cc.

Rover also sought to share transmission components between the two engine types. By 1956, it had become clear that the new OHV engines were an extremely tight fit; at times the front axle could foul the sump and the cooling fan could hit the radiator. The simplest way around this was to stretch out the wheelbase. Thus, the 86” Series I became the 88” and the 107 became the 109”. The first diesel-powered Land Rover arrived in 1957 to adverts touting “The News You’ve Been Waiting For” – at a 100 pound sterling premium!

2 Litre Diesel Engine, 1957-1961

In addition to high decibel levels, the first Land Rover diesels suffered from cracked cylinder heads. They did not accelerate as quickly as their petrol counterparts (87 lb ft of torque vs. 124 lb ft petrol engine). The presumed fuel economy improvement never happened, either.

Dimensions: 2052cc, 85.7mm bore x 88.9mm stroke Compression ratio: 22.5:1

Fuel system: Indirect injection with CAV pump Power/Torque: 51 bhp at 3500 rpm 87 lb at 2000rpm

2.25 Litre Diesel Engine, 1961-1980

With the introduction of the Series IIA in October, 1961, a more powerful 2.25-litre engine replaced the original 2-litre. This had the same bore and stroke dimensions as the contemporary four-cylinder petrol engine and, unlike the original 2-litre diesel, did not have “wet” cylinder liners. It once again had three main bearings, with the cylinder blocks painted Light Admiralty Grey.

Like the 2.25-litre petrol engine, the “two-and-a-quarter” diesel earned a reputation for longevity and reliability, although – once again – fuel economy and road performance were not among its strengths. Its use continued throughout Series IIA production, including the Forward Control IIA and IIB, extending into the first 9 years of Series III production.

Note: early engine ratings used the generous UK SAE standards. Later engine ratings used the stricter DIN 70020 standards, thus giving the appearance that they had been de-tuned.

Dimensions: 2286cc, 90.47mm bore x 88.9mm stroke Compression ratio: 23:1

Fuel system: Indirect injection with CAV pump Power and torque: 62 bhp SAE at 4000rpm (56.2bhp DIN at 4000rpm) 103 lb SAE at 1800rpm (101 lb DIN at 1800rpm)

2.3 Litre Diesel Engine, 1980-1984

Like the petrol engine, the four-cylinder diesel received a five-bearing crankshaft for the 1981 model year. It appeared in August, 1980, for the 88-inch Series III models and became available in 109-inch types that November.

This engine continued throughout the final Series III models and in the first One Tens. As with the five-bearing petrol engines, the Terra Cotta Red-painted block helped with identification. Land Rover gen erally referred to it as the 2.3-litre diesel engine although, like its petrol equivalent, it retained the original 2286cc swept volume.

Dimensions: 2286cc, 90.47mm bore x 88.9mm stroke Compression ratio: 23:1

Fuel system: Indirect injection with CAV pump Power and torque: 56.2 bhp at 4000rpm (Series III engines) or 60bhp at 4000rpm (One Ten engines) 101 lb at 1800rpm (Series III engines) or 130 lb at 1800rpm (One Ten engines)

2.5 Litre Diesel Engine, 1984-1992

This next stage in the evolution stretched the motor to 2.5 litres, with a longer stroke that added 7 bhp, but with less torque. On these en gines, a belt drive for the camshaft replaced the chain drive.

The revised engine arrived in January, 1984, for the One Ten models, and in June for the Ninety models. In most markets, the 200 Tdi turbocharged engine replaced it but the naturally-aspirated 2.5 diesel remained available for another couple of years in the newly re named Defender models (largely to fulfill fleet orders, military contracts and some overseas market preferences).

Dimensions: 2495cc, 90.47mm bore x 97mm stroke Compression ratio: 21:1

Fuel system: Indirect injection with DPS pump Power and torque: 67 bhp at 4000rpm 114 lb at 1800rpm

2.5 Litre Turbo Diesel engine, 1986-90 (Falcon)

A further evolution of the 2.5 NAD Engine increased the torque power to better compete in the mid ‘80s 4x4 competition. The ad dition of Nimonic exhaust valves, Teflon-coated pistons, oil jets for the crankshaft journal, an 8-blade viscous fan and integrated oil cooler in the radiator helped the 2.5 withstand the extra stresses and higher temperatures that came with the Garrett Turbo charger. After its introduction, the sales of Land Rover 90 & 110 were boosted (pun intended), as it proved more fuel efficient and powerful than its predecessor. An early issue – oil sucked into the air cleaner via the breather system – caused catastrophic fai lures, but a new breather eliminated that problem.

Dimensions: 2495cc, 9047mm bore x 97mm stroke

Compression Ratio: 21.0:1

Power and Torque: 85 hp at 4250 rpm 150 lbs at 1800 rpm

2.5 Litre 200 Tdi Diesel Engine 1989-1994 (Gemini)

With the 1989 launch of the Discovery came the all-new 200 Tdi, with 188 lb ft of torque. It featured an alloy cylinder head, a new Bosch direct injection system, and a strengthened ladder frame between the engine block and oil sump. The lessons learned from the Turbo diesel engine, mainly overheating and breather system issues, resulted in a sealed breather system.

This engine’s design enabled it to appear in all Land Rover models; it’s noted for its simplicity and, if maintained correctly, longevity. (The UK MoD declined the 200 Tdi in favour of the 2.5 NAD as the front cover could not be adapted to be fitted with the somewhat large 24v generator for the military radios installed inside the rear of the Land Rover.)

Dimensions: 2495cc, 90.47mm bore x 97mm stroke

Compression ratio: 21:1

Fuel system: Direct injection with DPS pump Power and torque: 107 bhp Defender 111 bhp Discovery and 188 lb Range Rover Classic

2.5 Litre 300 Tdi Diesel Engine 1994-2006 (Wolf)

The 300 Tdi is probably the most popular of any Land Rover diesel engine, being fitted across the whole range of vehicles, Defenders plus the Range Rover Classic and Discovery I.

The 300 Tdi offered refined idling and reduced vibration. Its des ignation as a “300” came from the rounding up of the 264 NM, 195 lb ft torque rating. With its increased profitability, Land Rover could ded icate funds for the revised engine block, fuel pump, brake servo pump and other components.

Since its launch (and an improvised modification kit that kept the timing belt aligned), the 300 Tdi has proved to be a stalwart power unit, provided it is maintained and serviced correctly. Many have recorded over 500,000 miles. Improved engine and transmission mounts have helped, along with further development of the Bosch injection pump.

Dimensions: 2495cc, 90.47mm bore x 97mm stroke Compression ratio: 21:1

Fuel system: Direct injection with DPS pump Power and torque: 111 bhp at 4000rpm 195 lb / 264 NM

Land Rover again offered full conversion kits for Classic Range Rover V8’s, Defender V8’s, 2.5 NAD/ TD/200Tdi, even offering an automatic kit. During its lifetime, the 300 Tdi re ceived modifications to comply with EU Emissions Regulations until its replace ment by the Td5.

To many enthusiasts, the Land Rover diesel of any vintage became the pinnacle for off-road use because of its torque at low rpm and its lack of an ig nition system. The sacrifices for on-road use (lower top speed, leisurely acceleration and higher decibel level) seemed well worth it then, and continue today. ///

PROPER PLACE / PROPER TRAILS

Outside of my friends and family, I have two main interests in life: vintage Land Rovers and rock music. The two don’t mix very often, if at all – but when they do, I’m ecstatic. (Besides, if Jeff Aronson can create an excuse to feature his Triumph TR7 in his column, I can put my rock band in mine!)

I play in Witch, a ‘70s-inspired hard rock band. The band formed in 2005, has several releases and has toured in both North America and Europe. After two consecutive years of cancellations due to Covid-19 restrictions, we finally com menced our threeweek, six-nation European tour this August.

Like any Land Rover enthusiast, I constantly looked out for Rovers along the way, albeit some times subconsciously. We travelled in a Mercedes Sprinter with a trailer in tow, which we rented from Nomads of Prague, a touring company based in the Czech Republic. I spent many long hours riding shotgun next to our Prague-based tour manager, Jara Spring. Any time a

Land Rover passed us on the highway, I immediately perked up and yelled, “ ‘90” or “110”. Eventually Jara started doing it, tapping me on the arm whilst staring into the side mirror on the Mercedes, shouting, “Look, look, look, awesome 110 coming up on the left.”

After about two weeks of this game, during which we spotted at least thirty Defenders along the way, Jara couldn’t stop talking about Land Rovers. He’s a surfer and travels by air to surf destinations around the world, including European ones. The Defender 110 appealed to him for its functionality, ability to carry boards on the roof and capability as a camper. Every morning at breakfast, he eagerly showed me the Defenders he had found the night before on various used vehicle websites. By the time the tour ended, he was converted and headed home intent on buying a 110. As we go to press, he’s on the road again managing a bus tour and frequently sending me photos of Land Rovers along his route.

The second-to-last show of our tour took place at Sonic Blast, a weekend-long festival in Moledo, Portugal. Every August, several thousand music fans from all over the world descend upon the small beach town, located about an hour north of Porto. After we played our set, the band and I set off to see the beach at night, only 100 yards from the stage. As we exited the main gate of the festival grounds, I spotted a green late-80s Defender 90 with the words ‘Guarda Nacional Republicana’ emblazoned on the rear section of the roof. I ran up to the truck and started taking photos, until a large man in a military uniform, holding a machine gun, walked over to me and started speaking Portuguese in a shrill, forceful manner. Like in my previous Italian military Land Rover encounter [see Summer/Fall 2022 issue -ed], I forgot that these trucks are being used in a “work” capacity, and their drivers, aka soldiers, are there to do a job. My first thought was to ask him if he knows of an auction house where the retired Land Rovers are sold off, but he just kept yelling at me. Finally a nice Portuguese festival attendee who had been watching this en counter came over to me and told me that I should get away from the ve hicle. I had him translate to the soldier that I only had an interest in Land Rovers and assured him that I was not a threat to national security. I pulled up photos on my phone to show him Land Rovers being used in the woods of Vermont and it finally clicked to him that I was just nerding out over his nicely aged Defender. He told the translator that he didn’t quite understand why I’d be interested in that old truck, but “to each his own.”

Days later, the next show took place high in the Swiss Alps at a festival called Palp. We flew into Geneva and were driven to the town of Verbier. From there, we went to the next valley over and up a very steep road to the festival area, at 6,000 feet altitude. We rode in awe of the views across the

Alps as we weaved back and forth up a series of switchbacks. The festival employee driving our van took each turn with conviction, making us cringe on every hairpin where we could see the drop-off below. We finally relaxed once we reached the pinnacle with its rolling hill plateau inter spersed with tall evergreen trees. Our festival handler greeted us with a Raclette, a traditional Swiss dish. (Raclette is a wheel of special Swiss cheese, whose melted portions rest on a plate, served with a boiled potato and beer.

As I walked away holding my plate, I spotted a mid-2000s Defender 90 set up as if intended for camping with an extended roof tent. I walked back to the handler and asked who owned the D90. She informed me that Blaise Coutaz, the founder of Palp, owned the Defender. We hit it off over our interests in both rock music and Land Rovers. Blaise uses his Defender as a daily driver and, like most owners who use their trucks all year round, is in a constant rotation of repairs and maintenance. He pointed out the recent fixes and the upcoming work, slightly crusty outriggers and a rear crossmember. He installed the roof tent several years ago because he ap preciates the spontaneity of heading off on weekends to random locations throughout the French region of the Swiss Alps. The D90 enables him to be self-sufficient and camp at one of the many vistas designated for such activity. I had one Vermont Rovers sticker in my guitar case, which he quickly stuck onto the back of his truck.

Although I often go off-roading on weekends with the Vermont Rover Club around New England, I didn’t expect to find a fellow enthusi ast in the Swiss Alps who shared my two passions. I made a tentative plan to go back to Switzerland next year to see more of the Alps, not just as a musician, but as a Land Rover enthusiast. /// [Follow Dave Sweetapple on Instagram @VermontRovers and @RoversMag -ed.]

When the QE I, my ’66 Series IIA 88” SW, and I moved to the is land of Vinalhaven, ME, 31 years ago, friends and family as sumed I’d gone off the deep end (based on my prior decisions, a painful if comprehendible conclusion). “How long is the ferry ride?” “What do you mean, no ferries at night?” “What on earth do you do there?”

Locals wondered exactly what I might have done to wind up here. “Everyone has a hidden story,” one wife said inquisitively. Her husband, who runs the island’s boatyard, saw my Land Rover and could barely contain his guffaws when he insisted, “I have the perfect bumper sticker for you. ‘My other car is a piece of s*** too.’” Nevertheless, the island suits me well. I consider it a Vermont town surrounded by an ocean.

Vinalhaven’s considerable charm has lured Rovers North’s Mark and Andrea Letorney, along with their dogs, to visit. The magazine’s Cre ative Director, Thompson Smith, and his family chowed down a lobster dinner here during a Maine vacation. Bruce Fowler has attributed the creation of the Maine Winter Romp to a group visit decades ago. Other enthusiasts have graced me with their visits over the years. Indeed, the connection between Land Rover enthusiasts, whether virtual or in per son, forms a powerful bond. Living on an island means that, most of the time, my Land Rover friendships remain virtual, but this summer proved different.

You cannot be a Land Rover enthusiast without applauding the amazing photography and writing of Nick Dimbleby. He’s constantly traveling the world on behalf of Jaguar Land Rover. His talent has chronicled every model in photos as a well as print; most recently, he used the Covid-19 isolation to create the definitive history of the Camel Trophy [See Holiday 2021 issue -ed]. Our paths have crossed at Land Rover Global Media events, and Nick has generously contributed photo graphs to Rovers Magazine. When he wrote that his family’s vacation travel plans for August centered on New England, I invited them to visit the island. Nick’s North American counterparts in the ‘90’s were Alan

Story,

PROPER NOISES / PROPER VIEW

and Sally Seymour, who keep a boat in Maine [See Summer/Fall 2020 issue -ed]. Happily, they transported the Dimbleby clan (Lisa and chil dren Oscar and Pippa) on this recent visit.

JLR gave Nick the cour tesy of a Defender 110 during his sojourn in New England, so my 109” (“It straddles the line between ‘patina’ and ‘tatty’ ”) threatened to inject Land Rover living into what was to be a “Land Rover-free zone” vacation. In case Nick’s Gen Z kids won dered about the reasons behind the new Defender, the ride in “Rickman” down our frost-heaved roads answered their questions. We toured our local lighthouse and Oscar showed off his considerable diving chops at one of our quarries. Nick sent a gracious thank you; “We had an amazing trip to New England, made all the better by our fantastic day in Vinalhaven. During our flight home [to the UK] we flew over the island and gave you a wave!”

If you’re a member of Texas Rovers or an attendee at SCARR, then you’ve met Joey Pitts. The off-road driving instructor and SCARR Trail Leader also works for the family trucking company; that connection led him to meet Blake and Diana Aslin. These two Houston-area residents left the sprawl behind to become liveaboards on their sailboat, a 38-ft Erickson named Josephine. When they told Joey that their itinerary would include Maine’s Penobscot Bay, he told them, “I know someone who lives on an island there.” Texts flew back and forth and one Sep tember morning, I found myself sitting in my 109” at a landing, wait ing for a skiff to arrive with two passengers.

With me in the 109” sat Jenny Mays, a St. Louis resident who chose to spend the last days of her year-long sabbatical from work touring the country. Somehow, her quick stop in Maine included two days on the island. She’d never ridden in a Land Rover but she ac cepted the invitation to ride with me and meet the boat people, figur ing it would be another adventure.

Similarly, Blake and Diana had left their professional lives behind, sold their land-based possessions and bought Josephine a few years ago. Their 2022 plans called for them to spend the summer in New England and the northeast coast, wait out the hurricane season then head to the Caribbean for the winter. Contrasting that with my winter plans, which call for tossing many cords of wood into my woodstove and shoveling vast quantities of snow, my envy rose considerably.

Nick Dimbleby and family, Vinalhaven, ME

Tanned, fit and exceedingly chuffed from their boat life, their good cheer annoyed me as much as Cindy Lou Who aggravated the Grinch. Why had I chosen a life of endless toil with four jobs, three Land Rovers and two Triumphs requiring as much attention and maintenance as young children? It took only moments for my grumpiness to melt as their joy over seeing my 109” SW spread over me. It transported us to a lighthouse sitting on a bluff overlooking the entrance to a wide channel called “The Thorofare.” Next, we stopped at the island’s grocery store where they stocked up on fresh fruits and vegetables. We toured aban doned quarries, swimming holes and a couple of scenic beaches.

Diana summed up the day: “Today was my first day in a Land Rover; a light blue 1967 Land Rover Station Wagon with an antique designation on the license plate. The interior smelled like my stepdad’s old red Chevy; a mix of worn vinyl tinged with aging metal. We bumped and bounced our way through the narrow, winding roads of Vinalhaven, Maine with windows slid open and the breeze from the rooftop vents whispering through my hair. In the first jolt of wheel meeting pothole, I bounced about six inches off my seat, instantly grateful for the high-support sports bra I was wearing. The tumultu ous motion of the ride was matched with intermittent clanking and clunking with an undertone of a deep, continuous hum from the vibra tion of rubber meeting the asphalt. The sounds muffled the voices in the front seat. In between Jeff pointing out sights, I got to know Jenny, a solo traveler. Maybe it was the familiar smells or the kindred spirits around me, but in the chaos of motion and sound, I found a sense of belonging in the backseat of an old Land Rover.”

OK, so maybe I should hose out the interior, install new leaf springs and door seals, and secure the shovel, tools, jack handle and crank better.

Rob Williams, Dubuque, IA, works as an engineer for John Deere, help ing design Transformers-size equipment. On a trip to a family reunion in Maine a few years ago, he went home via Vermont and took a side trip to Rovers North.

Last September, Rob sent me a message introducing himself as a Rovers Magazine reader flying into Portland, ME, for another family re union. “Being from Iowa, Series Land Rovers are on the rare side,” he wrote. “Would you happen to know anyone around Oxford, ME, who may be up for a pint and Rover talk? I hope to get the opportunity meet with some folks,” he continued. “I bought my Series III in 2005 while in grad school (because evidently I thought I had plenty of time and money). I finally started restoring it 3.5 years ago. I’ve still not actually driven a Land Rover.”

I posted his request on the Downeast Land Rover Club’s Facebook page; that resulted in an ‘enjoyable time” with Andrew Pratt of Expanse Outfitters in Scarborough. Rob also accepted an invitation to visit me on the island, which enabled me to give him a ride in a Series Land Rover. He lucked out with a sunny, calm 1.5 hour ferry ride; I pretended that the unusually nice weather was the norm. We immediately headed for lunch at the award-winning “Greet’s Eats” (Best Lobster Roll category). Having visitors as guests forces me to actually travel the short distances to the locales that make the place so appealing to tourists.

I listened as Rob described his family’s connection with Maine as well his personal history with his Land Rover. We swapped tales of his high school teaching experiences and his life through his family farm. He has given substantial time to volunteer activities to benefit his “small city.” (Its population matches that of Portland, Maine’s largest, and vastly exceeds that of Burlington, Vermont’s largest.) I’m fairly confident that the ride in my Series Rover gave Rob the impetus to finish up his Series III so it would be in better condition than his island ride!

These visits by enthusiasts confirm the remarkable range of people who embrace Land Rovers as central – but not exclusive – to their lives. Whether through photography and writing, visiting and friendship, volunteering and reconnecting, let your Land Rover remain a part of your adventures – and please share them with us.

To everyone who reads this magazine, here’s a heartfelt wish for a meaningful and engaging Holiday season! ///

Front Seats in Elephant Hide Grey

Vinyl

The elephant hide grey vinyl seating was introduced into mainstream Land Rover production in 1954, and used to great effect in the Series II and IIA interiors.

At the time, there were on average 1,700 Land Rover vehicles rolling off the production line each week. Taking into account model variations and seating types, the result was over 1,000 seats per day going through the exceptionally busy trim shop. We now have a material that’s a superb reproduction with all of the features that are so important when restoring these historic vehicles. Now manufactured with modern quality vinyls that offer the same effect and long life as this classic material has done for over 40 years. Seat belts not included.

What’s New at Exmoor Trim

Three Generations of working with Series and Defender Land Rovers. Exmoor Trim’s new soft top conversion kit offers the perfect op portunity to convert any Defender 110 to a full soft top. Exmoor has applied their extensive knowledge, experience and attention to detail when crafting this conversion kit to produce a high-quality product made in the UK with straightforward installation and easy-to-follow fitment videos. The bar set is fabricated from 50mm powder-coated steel with built-in seatbelt mounts for the second row and load area. All of the drain channels, windscreen header rail, tailgate bar and siderails are included. A swing-away load door or drop-down tailgate can be fitted for flexibility. Each kit comes with choice of a premium Stayfast hood in black or sand to suit any color

Defender 110 Soft Top

Conversion Kits

The Hood

Designed and manufactured by Exmoor Trim at the edge of Exmoor, this 110 hood is made from Stayfast, which is a superb automotive-grade hood fabric. Its three-ply construction makes it extremely stable, durable and waterproof with very good acoustic performance.

A unique feature of this hood is it padded side curtains and rear quarter panels. At Exmoor Trim, we use two layers of Stayfast separated by a layer of insulating closed-cell foam. This gives the hood extra rigidity to prevent vibration at higher speeds and helps to reduce the amount of road noise coming into the vehicle, with the ultimate end benefit of a truly high-grade finish.

The hoods are fitted as standard with high-quality flexible windows in the side and rear curtain as well as rear quarter light windows.

The hood connects to the body of your Land Rover using aluminium ‘Z’ Channels which are finished in black powder coat and attach just below the body capping using black rivets. The lower edge of the hood is fitted with a sewn-in retaining strip that neatly folds into the ‘Z‘channel creating a very clean look with no visible fittings.

The rear curtain is held in place using a locking tailgate bar. This was the standard fitted to all North American Spec soft top Defenders with two locking mounting points on either side of the tailgate, which allows easy access to the back of the vehicle without having to open the tailgate (both clips and bar are supplied with a hood).

Both the side and rear curtains are fitted with heavy-duty YKK zips for smooth and endur ing use. The retaining roll-up straps are fitted out with self-locking buckles so they can be se curely rolled up and stowed when travelling.

The Bar Set

Manufactured in the UK, this high-quality bar set includes all the hardware required to fit it to your vehicle.

The hoops are fabricated from 50mm steel tube, and the entire frame is finished with du rable, hardwearing satin powder coat.

Once the roof, rear door and side panels of your vehicle have been removed, installation of the bars is a straightforward DIY job. We have a detailed fitting video to guide you through the process.

- Front and rear hoops

- Interim hoop and connect ing tie bars

- B-pillar support bar

- One-piece over door drain channels

- Side of door drain channels

- Screen rail

- Tailgate bar and clips

- Z-channels

- Fitting kit with all the nuts, bolts, washers, and rivets needed for assembly.

- Seatbelts

Both the front and rear hoops of the bar set have seatbelt mounts built in. This means you have the upper belt mount and inertia real mounts for both the second row and load area. For the front seats, you use the existing mounts on the vehicle B pillar. The load area seat belt mounts are only suitable for forward facing seats such as the Exmoor Trim Loc and Fold or the Land Rover Tumble Down Seat.

Please Note: If you are converting a 110 Station Wagon, you will need to replace the rear door. The hood and bar set will work with either a swing-away half door or a dropdown tail gate.

Torque Biasing Limited Slip Differential Assembly, 3:54 Ratio

The key features are: Fully automatic, no driver input required. Totally transparent on-road, no adverse ef fects. Only comes into play when one wheel loses trac tion, i.e., a difference in wheel speed. Enhances the traction control as it multiplies the bias load created by the braking effect of the traction control. Needs no ad justment as the gears compensate for any wear that takes place. This Torque Biasing Limited Slip Differen tial works best with a good quality mineral-based oil; we do not recommend synthetic oils or friction addi tives. Modifiers are not required.

The Torque Biasing Limited Slip Differential is a Helical Gear type LSD with six gear pockets. FITS: Defender 90 front and rear, Defender 110, 130 front only, Discovery I front and rear with 4-bolt drive flange, Range Rover Classic front and rear.

Rebuilt differentials have four new Timken tapered roller bearings, new oil seal and new drive flange. Ring and pinions are inspected for wear and damage if they pass, they are reused, if not, new are fitted. An additional $200.00 core charge will be added to all or ders for FTC3272A.

This bright, easy-to-read, water-resistant (sealed) gauge is not only accurate, it is driven by an electrical signal for smooth needle movement; no more annoying needle-bob from the cable driven speedometer. Users can easily adjust the built-in clock, the brightness of the LED illumination, the dial color and screen color. The convenient auto-calibration feature means changes to gear ratios or tires sizes are no big deal; your speedometer will be accurate again with just a few pokes of the button and driving a mile.

This kit includes a VDO SingleViu 90mph Speedometer, our custom wiring harness, and VDO Hall effect sensor. For convenience, Rovers North has preconfigured the gauges and included easy-to-follow instructions. Installation should take about an hour or less. We can even pre-program your odometer reading!

The speedometer wiring harness included in this kit is designed to seamlessly integrate with the wiring harness of Rovers North's digital three gauge kit. This kit will incorpo rate matching volts meter, water temp and fuel level gauges. Adding these three modern instruments will be as simple as swapping the gauges, plugging in a tidy new wiring harness, connecting the sender wires for your water temp and fuel level, and removing some of the redundant wiring.

he chimney has been cleaned with the greatest of care, in hopes that Santa Claus will soon be there. Not quite what Clement Moore wrote, but the spirit remains the same. Winter is on its way here in New England, and while your temperatures and precipitation might differ, the days get shorter and the nights get longer. That means more time to search out Land Rovers whose use in media attracts eyeballs and clicks.

As always, it’s useful for novice Sighters and veterans to review the rules of the contest:

Rule #1 — All Sightings receive rec ognition and our appreciation, but not necessarily a mug. We reward only those Sightings that capture the unique qualities of Land Rovers as well as their owners, and display them in a distinctive way.

Rule #2 If your Sighting doesn’t really surprise you, it won't surprise us, either — thus, we can’t award you a mug. We're delighted, but not surprised, that Land Rovers appear in British television programmes, British publications, films with British themes and shows about Af rican safaris. These Sightings are appreci ated, but not mug-worthy.

Rule #3 At an ever-changing date be fore publication, we close off the Sightings; for this issue it was October 10, 2022. If we've mentioned the Sighting in an earlier issue, we might not men tion it again. If you're new to the family of Land Rover enthusiasts, you may not have seen your Sighting in an earlier issue.

Rule #4 If you qualify, one mug per Sighting per issue. No more than two Coveted Mugs will be awarded to the same person per year.

Rule #5 Sightings that are Land Rover refer ences in books go to our Literary Land Rover Editor for mention, but only when space permits.

Rule #6 Psst... email submissions — remember we can't send a mug by email. To be considered for a Coveted Mug, send us your real name and shipping address too.

Rule #7 Snail mail sightings must be sent to: Editor, Rovers Magazine, P.O. Box 90, Vinalhaven, ME 04863.

Rule #8 Grudgingly, very grudgingly, the Editor admits he might have made an error. Let us know if you think you've been jobbed, but all decisions of the Editor are final.

SIGHTINGS

To submit a Sighting send an email to sightings@roversnorth.com

Magazine articles are often improved when Land Rovers are a part of their stories. Kyle Madigan, Warner, NH, and Tim Glahn, Midlothian, VA, enjoyed an article featuring the subject’s Land Rover in the Au gust ’22 edition of Country Living Dixon Kenner, Ottawa, ON, couldn’t miss the dog sitting in the passenger seat of a Series IIA in an Atlantic article on canine cognition. David Russ, Lyme, NH, noted that it is very unusual to see photographs in The New Yorker, but the mag azine made an exception with its coverage of the death of Queen Elizabeth. Bill Newport, Windsor, CT, noted an overhead shot of a new Defender 110 in an Audubon Magazine ar ticle. Tyler Moore, Wind ham, NH, read an online article from the Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror about the heroic action of a bystander – with a Series Land Rover – rescuing residents of an old hotel

during a fire. Tyler also enjoyed receiving a birthday card with a Land Rover on the front!

Movie and television producers love to include Land Rovers in their films. Debbie Mason, Lower Sackville, NS, watched Shark, a 1969 movie featuring Burt Reynolds and a few Series I Land Rovers. Jim Hutchinson, Cambridge, MA, spotted a Defender 110 in an episode of The Terminal List

Whether in catalogues or online, retailers and service providers know that the presence of a Land Rover draws atten tion. Steve Lovoy, At lanta, GA, enjoyed seeing a Defender pickup on the cover of the Classic Prep catalogue. Jason Momoa helps pitch rock climbing gear in an online ad for So iLL, seated on the bumper of a RHD Series Land Rover with UK

Tyler Moore, Windham, NH, spotted the front edge of a Range Rover’s hood in an online ad for Alexa; he com mended Amazon for its “good taste.” Brian Jones, Raleigh, NC, was surprised to see a

Defender 110 in an online ad by Experian touting its auto insurance rates. Larry Lilly, Sinks Grove, WV, bought Firestone tires for his frame-up rebuild and received a Firestone ad poster with a Defender 110 for his garage. We’ve credited these Sightings in the past, but we want to thank Sighters for shar ing them with us. It’s not a surprise that L.L. Bean has returned to posting a Land Rover Defender on the cover of its catalogue; Stephen Smith, the CEO, is an avid enthusi ast. Dixon Kenner, Ottawa, ON; Warwick Hansel, Salt Lake City, UT and Jim Leach [See Rule #6] loved seeing its return. A Vineyard Vines ad for their King of Prussia, PA, store featured a Series Land Rover, noted Chris Hagman, Glen Mills, PA – also not a surprise as Shepard Murray, the CEO, is a Land Rover enthusiast, too. Brian Jones, Raleigh, NC, and Brendon Mahoney, Fort Bragg, NC, enjoyed seeing a Series IIA reappear on the Huckberry website home page. Kevin Kelly, El Macero, CA, was pleased to catch a Range Rover

Waxoyl

Looking to protect your pride and joy, but aren't near a Waxoyl application center? Waxoyl DIY kits contain everything you need to get the job done. All you need is a way to get under the vehicle (ramps or jack stands for low vehicles), a few hours of your time, and a desire to save your vehicle from corrosion.
