Goose Chasing The classic car market is becoming the home for older Land Rovers. Whilst is is a grea or e iconic e ic es, it does mean that maintenance is much more expensive and more akin with that of the current Green Oval crop!

With genuine parts and bodywork becoming more collectible than consumable, it can be tricky and pricey to replace parts of your beloved Series wagon. But thanks to Goosefoot

Panels, replacing bodywork has just gotten a bit easier.

The company only began at the turn of the year, producing reproduction rear wings for 88” Series IIs and IIIs. nd no , ey’ e us comp e ed e mac ining or eir ne produc rear wings for the Defender 90, with aria ions a e d and i and incorpora ing ron and rear ue er for a bargain £200.

Rope cleats can be welded on as extras, and every Goosefoot panel is nis ed i a c roma e con ersion treatment, which offers increased paint adhesion and better corrosion pro ec ion, p us inde ni e s orage ime, because we all know how long some projects can be left waiting… To peruse the full range or Goosefoot products visit goosefootpanels.co.uk, or give them a call on 01254 852982.

DISCOVERY 200 TDI CONVERSION INTO SERIES & 90/110

One of the key aspects of driving, particularly technical off-roading, is to keep the engine ticking over. And to help you do this more accurately and e cien y, e ngine uard EG01 kit helps you monitor engine temperatures precisely. ac ory gauges aren’ oo speci c, ereas e i offers readouts of temperature from the sensor, which is located on the metal of the cylinder head,

clearly on the digital readout which sits wherever the driver chooses, thanks to its adhesive backing.

The system records the highest running temperature of the engine during set-up, and then sets an alarm point 2-5 degrees above that.

Fault warnings are also a feature of the Engine Guard, which has 11 adjustable parameters to allow you to customise the system to suit your exact purposes.

The stream of information allows the driver to adapt their driving style to take care of the engine. or e amp e, i you’re o ing and you notice a gradual rise in engine temperature, you can change down a gear or ease off to avoid overheating.

Words and Pictures: Mike Trott

The Series II marked the beginning of the 2.25 era for Land Rover, however the engine wasn’t quite ready in time for the earliest models. That left a number of very rare second-generation Land Rovers with genuine 2.0 petrol motors lying around…

rossovers are all the rage in 2018 and over the last decade is ne ype o ’ has taken the motoring industry by storm. These would-be 4x4s play on the senses, by having all the looks of a machine capable of surmounting more than a humble roadside kerb, but in reality they are nothing more than your run-of-the-mill two-wheel drive hatchback on stilts. ’s i e pu ing e eard o an a, on y o nd ou your mi man as a sec ond job. He might be great at bringing the milk and croissant to your door, but is e rea y going o drop a ne e Christmas tree?

A croissant… sorry, bad habit – a crosso er asn’ a ays us a raud in an ’s sui o armour, oug ere have been plenty of different crossovers in the past, often through the necessity in rolling out a model as soon as possible, or while a manufacturer streamlines their model range. ome e amp es do you remem er the Defender before it was the Defender? The Ninety and One Ten carried the asis or e e ender, ic as na y given its name in 1990, but for those interim six to seven years, the models have been dubbed as crossovers, whilst Land Rover worked out how to put a proper engine in them.

C

Be ore a , you a e e age , which was a real crossover in terms of design, as it carried new design cues that would be adopted by the aforementioned Ninety and One Ten – such as the grille – yet the split screen and eries door and es remained in p ace for the time being.

And in more recent history, Land o er ro ed ou e isco ery por i e o d ree ander engine in stalled, before bringing out the Ingenium range of motors just months later. ’s no e rs ime a ne engine asn’ een ready, ei er Bac in e ae s, e in roduc ion o e eries II was supposed to signal the beginning of a new era of powertrains.

Nevertheless, that brief crossover period gave Land Rover just enough of a window to assemble this beauty.

Words and Pictures: Nigel Fryatt

The Land Rovers at the West Midland Safari Park are more than just transport. At times, they need to intervene between a charging rhino and its intended target! On a visit to the park a few years ago, one keen animal-lover in particular took us on a very different kind of safari… or such a big off-roader, it was surprisingly nimble, and moved effortlessly across the wet grass. Grip and directional ability were precise and the target destination would be achieved without any need to select low range. It was then that the Land Rover intervened, gently

We were sitting watching this from the safety of a battered and bruised Land Rover Discovery. The rhino in

question had been ambling, with surprising agility, towards a young giraffe that had lolloped away rather quickly.

The ranger in the Land Rover Defender 90 had seen the potential problem and encouraged’ e massi e orned eas to change its mind, and direction.

Land Rover: The Everyday Classic is a celebration of Solihull’s finest in day-to-day life. Concentrating on vehicles from before the modern era, it looks at Series trucks, pre-Puma Defenders, ex-military Landies and live-axled Discoverys and Range Rovers still in regular use.

Plenty has been written about hardcore modified off-roaders and polished classic show vehicles. The Land Rovers you’ll find in The Everyday Classic are real-world trucks that still work for their living. Many have been restored, modernised, converted, even customised – but all are perfect examples of why, even away from the extremes of the hobby, the Land Rover spirit endures.

Our Vehicles 2008 Freelander 2 2.2 TD4 SE Manual

Getting a Grip Our project Freelander 2 gets a new set of boots – and owner Tim Gibson is delighted with their performance any years ago, I was deputy editor of a forerunner o is pu ica ion’s sister magazine, 4X4. The maga ine’s i e as Total Off Road and we focused our attention on gnarly offroad heroes that would swallow your average soft-roader for breakfast.

With such a role came a sense of duty to own a vehicle that was suitably rugged, but the budget of a en y some ing mo oring ac didn’ stretch far. I made do with a 1994-reg Suzuki Vitara, shod with oversized Cooper mud-terrain tyres and a threeinch lift.

Whisper it softly, but that little Suzuki was nigh on unstoppable. I would expose my failings as a driver far earlier an reac ed e e ic e’s imi s, and it routinely kept up with trucks that were much more extreme in their countenance. But thanks to the deep welts in its rubber ware, it was hell to drive on the asphalt.

So when it came to sourcing new tyres for my Freelander 2, I had a c oice o ma e ’m eager o ma e i a credible performer off-road. But I rely on it for daily drives that frequently cover many hundreds of miles. I needed to compromise.

I settled on an all-terrain pattern, with an even bias between off- and on road use nd ecause ey’d

always provided a brilliant combination of value, longevity and performance on my pre ious s, didn’ oo muc further than Cooper Tires.

A wise decision in the end: Cooper is one of the few manufacturers to offer an all-terrain tread in the size I needed for my Freelander 2 (235/60R18). These take the form of the XL Discoverer A/ T3 Sport Owl, and I duly swapped out all four of the Goodyear Wranglers that were in situ to ensure consistency in handling and performance. en say ’, mean immer, one of the mechanics at Rudkin Vehicle Services who do such a splendid job of caring for my ageing Landy. It took im a o minu es o and a ance the new tyres, and I was ready to test them out.

A minor excursion up a local green lane on the way home revealed the isco erer ’s po en ia en conditions get challenging. It was a dry a e summer morning so ere asn’ much gloop. Even so, I felt far more con den an i e orn ood years in place. s or on road per ormance, can’ au e oopers ere’s per aps e slightest amount of feedback under acceleration at around 65mph. But it soon passes, and is no more an ’d expect from tyres that have a surprisingly aggressive tread pattern.

Words and Pictures: Tim Gibson With a few more adventurous forays o road p anned as in er se s in, ’ be better placed to assess the tyres in all conditions. But for now, Cooper has more than lived up to expectations, and the tyres fully justify my decision to make the sensible choice of all-terrains over mud-terrains.

Mind you, the more extreme tastes of my Total Off Road days have left a mark. When asked whether I wanted the raised white lettering on the sidewall facing in or out, I paused for at least a minute before agreeing to hide it. I guess everyone has to grow up some day, eh?

Next month: travel woe and a burst turbo pipe On the pull: in last onth’s e la nation of towing weights, I neglected to make clear that the limit for towing if you passed your test after an uary 1997 is a combined Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM) of 3500kg for car and trailer. Which means that to tow most caravans, a Freelander 2 like mine (with a MAM of around 2.5 tonnes ould be too hea y and you’d need to obtain an additional cat egory driving licence. Stay tuned, and I’ll tell you the story of y test in a future issue…

Heading into Race Day 1, the track at Poland had lots of fast sections, gnarly rocks, thick forest sections and deep valleys – the perfect platform for exciting racing.

The Landy Buyer

All the information you need – in one place – to buy your perfect Landy

That little!

O

ne of the few necessities we must all abide by is purchasing car insurance for our respective vehicles. o e mos e ci ing as o complete, but important all the same. But while most of us may run around in a weathered Defender or a Discovery with over 150,000 miles on the clock, a few lucky devils out there have the job of insuring restored icons that are valued at well over £50,000.

Nicer problems to have, you might think – but then how much does it cost to insure a dream classic? you’re a ing a ou a eries ui in 1948, even as a wreck these vehicles

command a high premium, purely because of their restoration potential. re ui e amp e o op ua i y i e looking at a market value of £50,000 or more, with the very best models being set at around £75,000.

Should you own such a wonderful ing, you needn’ ear a uge i or insurance. With an agreed value in place, drian u can insure your Series I from as little as £140!

Can you imagine trying to insure a £75,000 BMW M5 for that much? Granted e eries on’ e co ering as many mi es, u sure y i is gure e s us anything, it should be that everyone needs to have a classic Land Rover.

Insure your Series I ith drian lu fro as little as

Series I (1948-1958) If you want to be the owner of a vehicle that oozes heritage like no other, then surely a Series I Land Rover is the way to go.

The Series I Land Rover – particularly in its 80” guise – is arguably the most sought after Land Rover for purists and collectors alike. s ’s engineering gi es i a real charisma, but consequently, parts aren’ as readi y a ai a e as ey once

were. Restoration projects require deep poc e s, u en a nis ed e amp e will fetch mega bucks.

Gone are the days where you could use a Series I as an actual Land Rover, because with restored and cherished e amp es no re ai ing ere ey’re at, preservation is the aim of the game.

The rarer and earlier the vehicle, the higher the price tag gets. But can you really put a price on such an icon?

Series II/IIA (1958-1971) In 1958, the second-generation Land Rover was born and along came the barrel sides which we came to recognise on even the very last Defenders.

Today the Series II or IIA is a more affordable prospect than a Series I, yet it still carries much of that early charm that makes it a hit with enthusiasts.

The prices are on the increase, however, as these 50-year-old vehicles start to come into their own as a collec-

or’s i em pe ro ou d e our pick, as the diesel engines, certainy e i re diese , ere underpo ered and noisy.

The Series II/IIA carries a wider stance than its predecessor and adds an e ra in ayer o re nemen o er the Series I. While the engines have e ce en onge i y, ey need o a e been maintained properly. Be thorough in your checks.

Series III (1971-1985) Following on from the Series IIA, the Series III emerged in 1971 with a few cosmetic tweaks and safety features to freshen up the model.

Headlights were shifted out to the wings in-line with new legislation and the dash received a bit of padding to hide the new safety bar across the top o e u ead no sure i ’s a e stars on the Euro NCAP scale, though. e eries asn’ oo dissimi ar

They still carry the simplicity of earlier Land Rovers, but can be obtained for a fraction of the price... for now.

Lightweight (1968-1984) Possibly the ugly duckling of the Series and o er ami y u a doesn’ mean o say you on’ nd muc o e for the Series Lightweights.

These military-derived vehicles can be easily distinguished from the regular Series Land Rovers, with visibly more angular wings and a frontal appearance that does divide opinion when you and your mates are in the pub.

To mimic the civvy Series machines,

e ui rom on ards – also had its headlights switched out to the wings.

These Series Lightweights throw up an e ra dimension o and o er o nership, with military history and touches often machine-gunning the vehicle. It means you get a Land Rover that could have a few more stories to tell – and you have something that stands out from the crowd.

£2500-£25000 Versions: 88”. II 68 ’ 2 , III 2.25 cyl etrol engine.

Pros: ot like all other eries and Rovers out there military background uses lovely 2.2 petrol ons tyling isn’t to everyone’s taste can be pricey owing to their exclusivity over regular models

Forward Controls (1962-1978) Only serious enthusiasts need continue reading here. Ownership of any Forward Control is not for the faint-hearted. ese e ia ans are e pensi e o run and trying to get hold of some of the parts can be, quite frankly, a bit of a nightmare! Clubs can help here, though, as is often the case with any Land Rover.

Defender TDCi (2007-2016) e as o e e enders ere ed ord ransi engines rs e i, o o ed y e i, brought in to meet Euro V emission standards and keep the Defender alive for another few years.

Freelander 2 (2006-2015) Most people will turn their noses up at ree anders ecause ey’re no properly recognised as true Land Rovers.

But while you should turn your nose up a e , e ree ander ac ua y makes for a much smarter proposition than you may think.

Prices are now falling thanks to the Freelander name disappearing from the production line, but for £10,000 you can now get a capable all-rounder that is actually pretty adept off-road and yet still economical to run.

Range Rover Classic (1970-1996) The Range Rover Classic is one of those vehicles that you could theoretically still use everyday, even now in the s en ury you’re running a , o e er, a may not be such a wise idea. Classic Range Rovers still provide a relatively re ned and grea dri e oday, u ey can e irs y i you’re no in one o e arious ur o diese e amp es a said, i you o n one and i ’s in

RR Sport 2 (2013-present) The second-generation Range Rover Sport has also been on a diet to save over 400kg, just like the current daddy Range Rover, the L405.

The only stumbling block with such a ne mo or is going o e o o pay or it. Removing limbs is possibly the most feasible option, or wait ten years and see if the prices have come tumbling down off those high pedestals.
