Employee Profile – Rob Smith
When you call Rovers North for parts or service assistance, you’ll likely
speak with Rob Smith. If your question involves service, repairs, or
offroading in a Series Land Rover or Defender, he’ll be advising you
from experience.
He’s a native Vermonter who seemed destined to wind up at
Rovers North. Born in Burlington, Rob grew up in the town next door,
Essex Junction, and still lives there. And Westford is but one town
northeast of Essex Junction.
Rob grew up back when Land Rover only sent the Range Rover
to the US market. By the time he finished his business studies at
Champlain College and a community college, Land Rover was still
considering what to do with the Defender for the US market.
runs great for me and I really enjoy being in it.”
He remains a huge enthusiast of the Defender. “If I were
president of Land Rover, I’d want them to bring back the Defender to
the US market, relatively unchanged from the early ‘90’s model. The
‘94-‘95 Defenders are just one step up from a Series vehicle. They
have the OBD diagnostic box that can be checked inexpensively and
easily to help identify fault codes.”
If you wanted to buy a Defender, Rob advises looking at the
chassis and firewall first for corrosion. Originality is now an issue,
too. After that, check out the engine and drivetrain. Fourth on his list
would be electrical. Some interior bits are becoming harder
to source, but operational and repair items remain in stock from
He became interested in Rovers North because “I loved cars. I
knew nothing about Land Rovers when I took the job; I knew Jeeps,
that was it. Soon after I started here, I went offroading with other staff
members and saw first hand what a Land Rover could accomplish.”
Soon after, he bought his first Land Rover, a ’69 Series II-A
Bugeye. Rob remembers that “a customer walked into Rovers North
with an offer to sell his car for $500. I bought it on the spot. It needed
a lot work, but with guidance from more experienced staff members,
I repaired it. Les Parker really helped me with the electrics. You
can’t see the electricity – that’s why it’s so mysterious to me!”
Rob sold his ’69 Series II-A for a ’70 Series II-A ex-MOD 109”,
and then purchased his current Land Rover, a ’94 Defender 90, in
2000. He has installed Rovers North sill protectors and a Rovers
North soft top, Old Man Emu heavy duty suspension and a fuel tank
guard. He runs BF Goodrich All Terrain tires on his Rover. The Rover
came with 52,000 and now has 94,000 miles on the odometer. “It

Land Rover through Rovers North.
You may well have met Rob at east coast events such as the Mid
Atlantic Rally in Virginia, the Southern New Hampshire Rally, and the
British Invasion and RoverFest events in Vermont. He loves attending
and participating but admits that “the 16 hour one way drivers to the
MAR in a heavy duty suspension Defender 90 does wear me out!
Otherwise, I’d love to attend more events.”
“What’s the fun of the job I’ve worked at Rovers North in
shipping, purchasing and sales. I’ve been instructing for the 4x4
Centre off road school during the summers. I get to work with Land
Rovers every day.”
“I use my Defender for hunting and offroading. When you drive
around in your Land Rover, nothing compares with it. Unlike the
Hummer, it really can do what it looks like it can do.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
Mike Koch related his ordeal resulting from a
dead slave cylinder. As he’s now undoubtedly
aware (since he works at Rovers North and
gets input from his co-workers), driving without
a clutch is distressing, but entirely possible.
One starts the vehicle in first or second
gear and then shifts by synchronizing the
engine rpm with the propshaft rpm at a given
speed. It becomes easy to shift up or down in
this fashion. When stopping the vehicle, one
places the transmission in neutral, shuts
down the engine, and restarts in first or second
gear. I have done this with innumerable
standard shift vehicles over the past 50 years,
for short and long trips.
Using radial tires, different shocks, and
parabolic springs will dramatically alter the
handling of his MOD 109”, as it did mine,
prior to its destruction by a huge oak tree
during a storm. Perhaps one day I’ll own
another. I’ve had three Series Land Rovers
and loved every one of them.
Lawrence Lippert, M.D
Huntington, NY

[Sounds like just what the doctor ordered
for a bum clutch. My experience with dodgy
clutches in my Land Rovers is that the low
gearing and low torque curve conspire to
make speed shifting a difficult challenge in
a Series Rover; it’s proven to be a lot easier
in several British sports cars. Radial tires
and parabolics can soften the impact of an
MOD 109” in daily running – Mike, are you
paying attention –ed]
Dear Editor,
“What To Do in the Snow” by Jeffrey Aronson
was a great article, but it ignores the elephant
in the room. That is, why are Range Rovers
(mine is a Classic) only average (maybe
worse) in the snow It’s not just a matter of
tires; it seems to be a function of the transfer
case not locking up, or not staying locked. My
comparison vehicles are a couple of
International Harvester Scouts and a GMC
pickup. All had conventional 4WD with locking
hubs and no positraction. All were better
in the snow than the Classic. My solution has
been to put a click or two on the parking
brake to convince the transfer case that there
is unequal traction between front and rear,
but this only sort of works.
I hope you’ll give me an honest reply and
not tell me there is something wrong with the
vehicle; it has been checked out every way
possible. Plus, I’m not the only one to observe
this. Other owners with experience in other
vehicles share my opinion.
Lee J. Dahle
[Via email]
[It’s hard to believe that the additional V-8
torque and coil spring suspension travel, so
much better on a Range Rover than on a
Scout or GMC pickup [or Series Land
Rover] of similar vintage, does not produce
the off-road results you want in snow.
Given the number of Range Rover Classics
that perform mightily at off-road events,
I’m not certain I can agree fully with your
conclusion. To my chagrin, Range Rovers
have pulled my Series II-A out of mudholes
or over ice floes all to o effectively. The
most recent Maine Winter Romp witnessed
many Range Rovers and Discovery Series I’s
[same drivetrain] proving themselves very
effective in snowy conditions.
When Rovers North organized the only
winter climb up the Mount Washington
Auto Road, Their Range Rovers performed
superbly on the arduous and historic trek.
The team found that at times, use of the
high range gears was more effective than
L1 or L2 in certain snow situations. Tire
selection and air pressure do make a difference
on the handling of all Land Rovers
in snow situations; I’ve watched a Range
Rover Classic bog terribly in snow all
because the owner refused to air down his
tires. I know that was the reason because
Range Rovers who followed the trail leaders’
instructions went around him to help
tow him up the trail.
After 1990, Range Rovers incorporated
a viscous coupling to lock the driveshafts.
In 1993, Range Rovers used the ABS system
as a form of traction control to further
improve off-road ability. It’s still honest to
query whether when you’ve had your Rover
checked over, have these systems been
checked, too
What do readers think of Lee’s observations
Are you also disappointed with your
Range Rover Classic’s abilities in the snow
–ed]
Dear Editor,
I just wanted to thank you for the service Steve
[Haskell] provided me today. I am the kind of
person who pretty much likes to deal with just
one person. Steve is the kind of guy who
always remembers my name and who I am.
No small task for him, I am sure. So when I
had a chance to visit your shop, I just had to
have lunch with him. It’s that personal touch
for me that makes the difference between you
folks and just price shopping the internet.
Gustaf Kupetz
Lead Driver, East Coast FJ Trail Teams
[Steve bought you lunch when you visited
Rovers North He’s never bought me lunch

when I show up at Rovers North! There’s a
very dedicated group of technical support
staff in Westford and we agree they make a
huge difference for Rover enthusiasts
everywhere –ed].
Hello,
I was hunting for some Land Rover information
and came across wonderful advertisements
for Land Rovers from the 1950’s. They
were a delight to read. Enjoy and keep up
your good work. You got me even more
addicted to Land Rovers and I get even more
crap from my wife! I wish I could have one of
those 1950’s Land Rovers brand new but I am
still happy to have my ’93 Range Rover Classic
LWB that I got back in 2005, with only 54,800
miles, for $5,000. She has about 62,500
miles to date.
D. Aaron Conway
Minneapolis, MN
[Through Land Rover parts support and the
additional resources of Rovers North, you
can basically rebuild a classic Series Rover
so that it’s as “new” as when it left the factory.
It’s a bit harder with Series I Land
Rovers, given the number of unique and
NLA parts on them. Land Rover Classic
Parts and Rovers North can keep your
Range Rover Classic original and authentic
for years to come –ed]
Hey Ya’ll!
What a wonderful magazine you have! I love
reading about the wonderful times, places
and adventures other folks have.
Kelly Dunkelberger
Berthoud, CO
[Kelly, you live in Colorado, the home of the
Solihull Society and the Rocky Mountains.
You can have wonderful times and adventures,
too. When you do, let us know about
them –ed].
Dear Editor,
Thanks for your help with parts and advice
for my Defender 90 SW. Lucky for us, our
2004 Discovery (the one that doesn’t look
like an Explorer) hasn’t needed anything yet,
but based on our previous two Discoverys, its
only a matter of time!
Kelly Horn
St. Joseph, MO
[I always felt as though Ford copied the
lines of the Discovery for its ill-fated
Expedition, not the Explorer –ed]
Dear Rovers North,
I’m the former owner of two Range Rover
Classics and the current over of an 88” and a
109”, both RHD and extra cool. Thanks for
your great magazine/catalogue and all the
great service we’ve received from y’all. Stay
warm up there!

[Who’s “y’all” That’s a strange word up
here. And if you need parts delivered to the
coast, say next February, please ask for me
directly! –ed]

Dear Editor,
I love your magazine, especially the “Behind
the Steering Wheel” section, but I love the
articles, too.
James Pitts
Dallas, GA
[James, I couldn’t have said it better
myself. Of course, the publisher will believe
that I conned you into writing such complimentary
remarks –ed]
Dear Mark,
Willie Nelson is a legend here in Texas. Some
will immediately conclude that Texas must
have a very small pool of legends from which
to pick. Be that as it may, there is a line from
one of Willie’s songs that says, “I know more
ole drunks that I do ole doctors – so let’s
have another round.” I got to thinking about
that line in Willie’s song after reading the
recent “Behind the Steering Wheel” article
about Mr. Brian Carvey and his ole Rover. I
think we could say “I know more old Rovers
than I do ole Cruisers so let’s go out down the
road.”
Thanks, Mark, for all you and your crew, do.
Leighton Ogg
Houston, TX
[Except for certain decisions out of the
Texas Legislature, we never question Texas
legends – we figure they’re true. Reading
the “Behind the Steering Wheel” column
has many readers reaching for another
round, too –ed].
Dear Rovers North,
Perhaps it’s time to run another article on
safe practices with a Hi-Lift (type) jack. On
page 25 of the Spring 2007 Rovers North
News - the photo on the right hand side of the
page. Certainly, there is a better example of
jacking in the vast RN photo library. If not,
let’s do a photo shoot. I hate to be one of
“those types,” but you know exactly why I’m
on about this. Best regards,
Jeff Berg
Malden, MA
[Yes, Jeff, we share mutual friends who
have suffered injury from unintentionally
incorrect use of the farm jack. Our photo
shows a Hi-Lift at work on a snowy field
elevating a Defender while the crew has the
front tire off the car. The jack handle is
pointing out at 90 degrees, never a good
move. I’m often getting stuck in off road
situations, so maybe we can collaborate on
that photo shoot –ed.]

FROST IN FLORIDA!
An Inconvenient Truth:
Story by: Sonja Palomino Photos by: Janet Poelsma
It’s the Day After Tomorrow in Davenport, Florida. Today is February
16 at the Wallaby Ranch, the new site for the Florida Winter Roundup.
It’s a freezing Friday night. Now I know what you’re thinking…
freezing… in Florida… yeah, right. Really, it was freezing! As the sun
dropped, so did the temperature. By 11:00pm, frost had covered the
tents of the assembled enthusiasts. Some gathered around the blazing
group campfire to join in warm conversation about the day’s events.
Several of us remained by the fire for several hours, mostly out of fear
of walking away from the heat just to go into a cold tent and praying
that your sleeping bag will be thick enough to keep in the body heat.
Remember, we are Florida folk. At about 3:00am we stoked the fire
by adding several large logs hoping that in the morning we would be
able to get it going with little effort. That night, the mercury kept
dropping and didn’t stop until it was at 23 degrees. So much for our
warm and fun in the sun Florida off-roading event!
Earlier that morning, when it was much warmer, we brought our
’04 Discovery II and our ’67 Series II-A Land Rover, and joined over
300 Land Rover enthusiasts and 70 Land Rovers at the 6 th annual
Florida Rover Roundup. After five years of riding the trails in the
Ocala National Forest, we decided a change of scenery would be nice.
Wallaby Ranch is a world famous hang gliding school located in
central Florida near Walt Disney World. It sits on over 500 beautiful
acres. Over the past several years, Malcom Jones, the proprietor of
the ranch, has hosted dozens of Land Rover customer appreciation
days for dealerships throughout Florida. This year, his spectacular
locale proved the perfect spot for our event.
One of the benefits of this property is the seemingly unlimited
amount of land The existing trails had names such as Proving
Ground, Trek Trail, Safari Trail, and Emu. These trails consistently
challenged the stock Land Rovers and the novice drivers,
particularly after a good rain; however, this year we have been in a
drought and all the trails that are usually under water were bone dry.
Knowing that the chance of enough rain to soak the trails was
unlikely, we altered some of the existing trails to make them more
challenging, and even built a new one. We focused on improving the
Trek Trail to use for our trials competition. Many obstacles were
added and the trail was extended. This trail was designed to push the
limits of the vehicles without incurring any damage.
8

We named our new trail “Jungle Trek.” This trail we built in a
low lying area of the property that is usually under water. With the dry
conditions, we were able to get in and remove all the trees that had
fallen from the hurricanes over recent years. The entrance to the trail
was a large mud hole. Friday night, everyone was able to get through
by either powering through or hugging the edge. By noon on Saturday
this was not the case. After a lot of spinning Mud-Terrains the mud
hole became impassible. Only those with a winch dared to take this
path; the rest chose to take the bypass. The bypass, although drier,
was narrower and proved to be a technical challenge to many.
Besides the enhanced trails and unlimited camping area, moving
the Roundup to Wallaby Ranch proved to have other benefits as well.
The biggest one being that we were able to set up competitions that
all the participants could enjoy. That just was not possible the years
before on public property.
Saturday morning brought hope of a warm day. The sun
was shining; people started coming out of their tents and RV’s to see
just how much frost had accumulated on everything. Some joked
wondering if anyone had an ice scraper. Ice scrapers in Florida are
about as common as snow chains.
As the frost melted away and the temperature climbed, the blood
in the veins of the competitors started to flow. After the morning
drivers meeting, they hurried to sign up for the events they wanted to
compete in.
The first event was the Boomerang GPS Challenge. It was limited
to ten vehicles. The teams would have two hours to locate all the
way-points and return to camp. The winning team took about
45 minutes while others took the entire two hours. Dave Zymowski
of Orlando and his team took the gold in this event. Dave had plenty
of time for a victory lap around the campsite in his ’98 Discovery
Series II in full G-4 regalia, well before any of his competition arrived.
After lunch, we had the Little Jackeroo children fun time. It
started with a three legged race. The children picked their partners
and off they went trying to be the first to cross the finish line, which
happened to be a snatch strap. We even had several mamma and papa
Jackaroos trying their luck in an effort to bring home the gold.
Then off to learn some recovery techniques. With assistance
from there parents, the smallest jackaroos learned how to hook up a
recovery strap. The older children thought this would be easy until we
introduced a blindfold. This may be useful someday when your recovery
points are buried in soupy mud, heck, somebody has to hook up.
Our favorite part of the children’s activity is when Jeff Wait had
all the children pose for a picture on his ‘93 Range Rover. Although
modified and used for off-roading, I believe this is the most abuse it
gets. There are kids everywhere! On the roof rack, hanging out
windows, standing on the bumpers all trying to catch the attention of
the cameras. This has become a tradition of our event and next year
we just may have to add another Rover to accommodate the growing
number of children that attend the Rover Roundup.
While we were still setting up the course for the Aussie Trials
Competition, Land Rovers of all types started to line up. Everything
from a stock Series II-A driven by it original owner, Gerry Atchrich, to
heavily modified Defender 90s, tackled the challenge. As the drivers
watched, you could tell that they were driving the course mentally
before it was their turn. All waited for their chance at a sweet victory,
the ones with the modified trucks knowing that they had the upper
hand on the unmodified ones. In the end, it came down to one thing,
driver skill. William Aguillon, Port St. Lucie, proved to be the master
of patience. He took first place in the Trials competition, winning with
precise driving in his stock 2004 Discovery.
Only the most competitive enthusiasts signed up for our final
competition. The only modification required was a winch. The teams
consisted of a driver and his navigator (aka. grunt). Adrenaline started
flowing as the teams sat waiting for their chance at fame. At the
word “Go” they all jumped out, pulling free-wheeling winch lines to
an anchor vehicle. Between the winding of the winches, careering
timbers, removing a tire, a combination of carrying and rolling the
tire a great distance over a hill and back to see who would be the first
to end the competition. With lots of sheer physical exertion, all
competitors made it across the finish line. All in all, the task took just
over 20 minutes to complete and the competion was won by Dimitri
and Ricardo Mundarain. Dimitri lives in Boynton Beach and arrived
in a 2004 Discovery II, also in G-4 Tangerine Orange.
I guess this type of thing just runs in the Mundarain’s blood. We
have already heard rumors that they will be back next year to defend
this prestigious title. Pre-event training will be a must for next year’s
event. We guarantee it!
After all the excitement, it was time to slow down and enjoy some
wonderful Southern BBQ prepared by Salty Hog. This went great with
the live entertainment provided by Clint and Chad. Following dinner,
we set up for our annual charity auction. Thanks to Rovers North and
many other vendors that donated items, we were able to raise over
$2,100 for The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. 100% of the
auction proceeds are donated to charity each year.
Trail rides continued late into the evening. One group remained
out later then they planned when the differential on a Range Rover
went bust. After a couple hours of towing and winching through the
tight and technical part of Jungle Trek, they made it back safely.
It had rained early Sunday morning before sunrise. Luckily it was
nowhere near as cold as the night before. Although, it would have
made it interesting to wake up with snow on the Land Rovers. Then
we would have had to change the name to The Florida Winter Romp.
See you next year. It will be warmer – we promise!

First Impressions - “The Stoner”
Story & Photo by Ray Scholl
[Ray Scholl lives in Mason, NH, with Jenny, his wife, and their
children Lindsay and Foster. He’s an IT professional who, with his
family, built their house, maintain a “gentleman’s farm,” raise
animals and refurbish automobiles. Their Land Rover project
would have been impossible without their chief assistant and
great friend, Ananth Kaitharam –ed.]
Our Land Rover started life back in 1970 on a farm in England.
A sheep farmer had used it as a workhorse for 25 years (hauling,
shearing, etc.) before deciding to retire it from service. I never had
the chance to meet him or to see the farm; I just remember what was
relayed to me back in 1996 or so, when we decided to see what all
the hype was about.
A colleague of mine was visiting family in Leicester when he and
a friend decided to put a few vehicles in a container and send them
back to the US. It arrived here in March and he put it right on the
road. He left it with me for safe keeping (knowing full well I would
end up buying this beast) and I used it as a daily driver; mostly to the
train station and for running errands. About a month later, it was
registered to me and we were a Rover family!
Well, it was not restored and certainly in need of a few repairs,
but the next year went smooth enough. Inspection time was a
surprise – swivel ball time! Once I got the parts, it was about two
weekends of careful effort to replace the pieces and I think I did the
front springs and a ball joint in the steering as well.
Another year goes by, we drove and dragged it to Pennsylvania
and drove some old strip mines, power lines, etc. and what a blast
(until I got home and replaced the rear springs). Time continued to
tick by; Mother Nature loves those crevices where dirt and moisture
sit. You may have guessed – replace the gas tank. We have actually
gone through two of them already.
We moved to New Hampshire quite a few years ago and it seemed
the extended ride to the train over the bumps in the Rover produced
(or shook loose) a few kidney stones, thus, the nickname, “The
Stoner.” The first spring was great – most vehicles would stop and
stare at the mud at the end of the driveway, but my wife used it
several trips a day to schools with the kids (since I only went out/in
once a day I used the less capable vehicles). We did upgrade the
driveway later, but if you haven’t played in axle deep mud I suggest
you give it a try.
Well, an old vehicle, plenty of miles, and exposure to the
elements eventually take their toll. I did patch the rusty frame a few
times, and then horror. I got the call – “it’s running fine, but should
it sound like a diesel” Time to bring it home and either rebuild the
engine or get a replacement. I found a rebuilt (military specification
- had to give up my generator and positive ground) and in another fun
filled pair of weekends my truck was back on the road in daily use.
Over more time, the long daily treks over the dirt roads took a
new toll. The extra power from the rebuilt engine felt great to me but
the transmission disagreed. So, I replaced the gear box/transfer case
with a rebuilt (I have all kinds of spares and cores). Now we were
back to full strength and just in time. The grandparents wanted to
spend time with the grandkids, so we left them back in Pennsylvania
for a week. I took a few of the hottest days off and we traveled about
800 miles up through VT, across NH, and back home. With the top
off and a cooler in the back, it was pure enjoyment.
During this time an old friend decided he just had to pick up a
109”. I sent him to Rovers North and Mark Letorney outfitted him
accordingly. While at a show further south, he came across an
overdrive for sale and grabbed it for me. I still have yet to rebuild
that, but someday, it will be bolted onto the transfer case.
Well, ultimately the most crucial piece has been putting up with
all the abuse. I planned a chassis swap for years but postponed the
inevitable monetary and physical expense. The Rover had become
less a daily driver and more an entertaining alternative, but still solid
enough for errands and local trips. We were on the way back from
soccer, a friend was taunting us, and we certainly would not let a
Suburban get the best of us. We emerged victorious and basked in the
glory until we got home and noticed the doors seem to “overlap”
rather than close. No further postponement was possible. So in
October, 2005 I had to take the Rover out of service.
Finally, in April, 2006, my daughter, a friend, and I make the
journey with my newly built trailer and load up a galvanized chassis.
It sits in the grass for two months while we make preparations.
Finally, during the late summer, we began the successful refurbishment
of our Land Rover. When you do a frame-over, it’s smart to also
replace the springs, shocks and check straps. It’s a good time, too for
new brake lines, brake system components, swivel ball gaiters, and
electrical wiring. We also refurbished the bulkhead, too.
Thanks to Rovers North, I can keep this unique vehicle running
and in original condition. While they are not for everyone, they
certainly are fun if you don’t mind a rustic form of transportation.
“The Stoner” started life on a farm in England and continues life on
a farm in New Hampshire. It’s a great life for everyone!

AMERICA CALLING -
SEND US THE ‘07
DEFENDER
Story by: Jeffrey Aronson
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip arrived in Virgina for the 400th
anniversary of the Jamestown colony and the 133rd running of the
Kentucky Derby. Before they left Great Britain I requested that they
include a 2007 Defender in the royal baggage.
Their last trip was in 1991; within two years, we had the Defender 110
NAS. Just in case history should repeat itself, put your order in now.
16

Consider grant theft auto. Think about illegal importation. Find
a good lawyer now. Whatever it takes, this car is worth the risk. My
shameless display of illegal behavior was matched only by the
mewling and whining I undertook in a failed effort to get Rovers
North to send me to England to test drive the latest Defender.
Neither groveling nor begging moved the cold hearts of Westford.
That’s forced me to drool over my laptop’s keyboard as I’ve
gathered information on this latest incarnation of the iconic vehicle.
Sixty years ago the Wilks brothers led the team that set down
the basic elements of the Land Rover, a “stopgap” vehicle meant
to bring in some cash while Rover geared up for postwar car
production. Rover created an impressively strong frame
underneath, lightweight aluminum alloy panels above, long-travel
and rugged suspension, mated to a high torque engine and strong
transmission with a two-range transfer case. It would go anywhere
and accomplish most anything that you needed a machine to do.
Over the decades, leaf springs gave way to coil springs, disc brakes
replaced drum brakes, Panhard rods and radius arms secure the
live axles. The wheelbase has grown all of 12 inches for the
smaller model, and up to 23 inches for the longest wheelbase
models. As a mobile tool, no other vehicle proved as rugged and
long-lived. The Defender has long ceased to be treated as a car,
regardless of what legislators think, but as a vehicle unique to itself.
England’s Channel 4 commented that “‘Heritage’ is a
much-abused term in the motor industry, but the Defender is one of
the few cars that can lay claim to it. It’s also strangely classless:
though generally associated with the huntin’ and shootin’ set, the
Defender’s also a true working-class tool, especially in pick-up
form. Green wellies, tweed caps, corduroy trousers and black
Labradors are optional, but it does look out of place in the city.”
The 2007 Defender remains true to its marque values but
continuous improvement make it even more delectable than before.
Changes have been modest since the model took over for the Series
III in 1983. For 2007, the stylist’s eye will note a taller bonnet line
and the absence of the name “Defender” on the front. The newest
one says proudly “Land Rover.” Under the new aluminum bonnet is
a new 2.4 liter diesel, a Ford-based commercial unit adapted for the
extreme off road use common to Defenders. It’s the only engine
available on any Defender. It’s a common-rail, 4-cylinder
turbocharged engine that puts out similar horsepower (122 hp) to
the Td5, but virtually all of the torque comes on between 1,500 –
2,700 rpm. Farmer’s Guardian did the calculations; they claim that
90% of the “grunt” is available through 60% of the rpm range.
There’s 266 lbs/ft available at only 2000 rpm!

The new engine enjoys a new Getrag 6-speed manual transmission,
so you can take advantage of this wider torque curve. The new
transmission also permits a lower first gear and a higher 6 th gear for
highway driving. First gear is now 5.44:1, fifth gear is now 1:1, and
6 th gear is a true overdrive at 0.74. The final drive ratio is an ideal
3.54. Engine electronics limit the engine to 85 mph, but you’ll get
there faster and quieter than ever. When it comes time to stop, your
pedal foot will operate 4 disc brakes, vented up front, for more
secure on-road operation.
A jaundiced eye might also be cast at the scuttle on the top of the
bulkhead; the much-beloved vents are gone. This is made possible by
the vast improvements in the interior fitments. First off, the facia and
dash comprise one piece of injection-molded plastic. The squeaks
that always had you searching for mice, and the rattles that convinced
you that loose tools rolled around your feet, are also gone. The heat
really works now and there’s even an optional, truly functional air
conditioner. You may not need it because the Defender finally has
eyeball fresh-air vents, just like cars from the 1960’s. Instead of
putting instruments in the center of the facia, Land Rover has placed
large, easily identifiable switches and buttons where you would
expect to find them. Optional packages include a center console,
cupholders [!], an upgraded audio system, even MP3/iPod

compatibility. Given the improved interior insulation, you can truly
hear the music.
It’s still a narrow vehicle so your seats, which adjust a bit more
than before, still rely on the door and electric window to help
position you in cockpit. Autocar.UK noted that “the driving position
remains appalling…elbow room is notable for its absence and leg
room is right on the limit of comfortable.” In the Defender 90’s rear,
EU regulations have forced the twin rear jump seats to face forward,
not sideways. The seats will tip forward and fold sideways so as to
leave plenty of room for work tools or play stuff. Again, EU regulations
mean that you can’t have more than 7 seats; gone are the
10-seat and 12-seat possibilities of yesteryear.
The 2007 Defender offers 14 different body styles in wheelbases
of 90 [actually 92.5”], 110, and 130 inches. You can enjoy a hard
top [with or without side windows], the venerable station wagon, a
double cab [crew cab], and pickup model. Land Rover Special
Vehicles will still create or authorize ambulances, lifeboat haulers,
tippers [dump bodies], or most anything else you’d want.
On or off-road, the Defender will haul up to 3,500 kg while
climbing steep or slippery hills. There’s no automatic transmission
option nor does the Defender come with airbags, anywhere in the car.
You can’t loll about in cruise control or watch a DVD player.
Reflecting the popularity of Defenders amongst auto thieves, an
alarm, an immobilizer and central locking is standard. The optional
sunroof is manually operated. The exterior mirrors move only when
you grab them with your hands and yank them in the right direction.
The rear windows on the 90 still slide open and shut, just as they do
on my ’66 Series II-A. For the UK market, you can still order rubber
mats and take a hose to the interior. The clutch is reportedly as heavy
as ever and the turning circle still rivals that of a Kenworth attached
to a semi. Interior noise at 70 mph is 73 decibels, about that of a
diesel locomotive, but you can hear the standard audio system.
Autoinsider.com summarized the off road capabilities well.
They wrote “The test course covered some of the toughest terrain –
so steep, deep and undulating that you’d think twice about covering
it on foot. Yet the Defender lapped it up, rocking from side to side
over tree roots but plodding on unmoved. When it eventually came
unstuck it was down to a lack of driver technique – it scaled the
19

muddy slope on the forth attempt, despite each previous go making it more and more slippery. If you reach the limit of the Defender’s
abilities, you’re either mad or very lost indeed.”
Autocar.uk observed that “off-road, the domain it has ruled for nearly 60 years, the Defender is now more mind-meltingly able than
ever. This is a car that will tackle a 45-degree slope going forwards or backwards. It will wade through water half a metre deep without
modification and traverse a 35-degree hill. Its approach and departure angles are both an astounding 47 degrees. A Jeep Wrangler,
perhaps its closest conceptual rival, offers just 38 and 32 degrees respectively. These extraordinary stats combine with its huge ground
clearance and compact wheelbase to give rock-hopping qualities most alleged off-roaders simply couldn’t imagine. Low range,
unswitchable traction control (optional with ABS) and differential locks complete the picture.”
The 2007 Defender is “a vehicle for farms, outbacks, jungles and deserts that, for all its flaws, has a very real role in the world today.
It is better than ever at those things it needs to be good at, and as useless as it has always been at everything else.” Oh, yes, it still has a
rear external power take-off.
Hello, Ford – this is America calling. Send us the Defender!
_______ ________
It really does not matter if Ford sells a lot of Defenders in our market,
because the draw they will create for retailers will only increase the awareness,
intrest, and sales of other Land Rover models.

Recently, the New York Times quoted Nicole
Farhi, a French designer working in London.
She owns a 1956 Mercedes 190 cabriolet and
claims “no one else is allowed to drive it. Old
cars only recognize one driver. You have to
know how to coax it. I drive my Mercedes
every day to my office off or Carnaby St., and
always get a lot of thumbs-up.”
Series Land Rover owners will recognize
the validity of her statements. Even Range
Rover Classic and Discovery owners can find
themselves having to give more detailed
instructions than “make certain you put gas
in it” when they loan out their Rovers. I have
let others drive my two Series II-As, but never
with enthusiasm or confidence. An offer to
“take my car” is accompanied by a long list
of starting, accelerating and stopping
instructions that usually lead the recipient to
say, “Never mind, I’ll walk.” Even in rain,
snow and sleet! If they do summon up the
courage to drive it, they watch me cringe with
a discomforting combination of anguish and
fright.
When you do loan out the Rover, it will
never drive as you predict. When you insist
the clutch action is smooth, it will lurch. If
you state it shifts easily, it will grind in every
gear. Rovers recognize only one driver; any
alternate driver will feel as though they’re still
working on their Learners Permit. You really
do need to know “how to coax it.”

BEHIND THESTEERING WHEEL
By Jeffrey B. Aronson
What is undeniable is that if you drive
your Land Rover every day, you will get
thumbs-up from a huge range of people, on
Carnaby St. or Main St.
_______ ________
In the 1960’s, tweed flat cap sorts argued
endlessly about “what is a sports car” Most
agreed that agility, handling, great road feel,
simplicity and functionality, were critical
qualities. Physics would dictate that light
weight would be important. That in turn
meant a small engine of simple yet durable
construction – you needed to be able to tune
it easily when you took it to the track or to a
rally on the weekends. The car would be
small so it could remain light and nimble.
Light weight also mitigated against much
weather protection, thus the “hankie in the
wind” tops common to MG’s, Triumphs and
Austin-Healys.
Driver involvement was also a crucial
factor. No need to isolate the driver from the
road underneath the car; he would want to
feel every bump or dip. A short-throw manual
transmission, correctly placed pedals,
informative instrumentation, and hip-hugging
seats would increase your involvement.
Passenger comfort or convenience played
only the smallest role- the Porche 912 of the
‘70’s didn’t even offer an adjustment on the
passenger’s seat.
This debate arose after sports car manufacturers
found their markets being devoured
by cars that met consumer demands for comfort,
speed, reliability, size and styling without
the discomfort, noise and barebones feel of
the classic sports car. Putting a 4-speed manual
transmission or bucket seats in a Pontiac
Tempest or a Ford Mustang did not make
them sports cars, but it did jack up volume
sales of those models. Most of the body panels,
frames, engines and other components
were shared with the family sedan counterparts
of the same manufacturer. That kept
costs low, making British cars- with a high
pound/dollar exchange rate even more
expensive in comparison.
Welcome to the 21rst century when Land
Rover finds that the highly adaptable, utilitarian,
elemental Defender shares its platform
with no other Land Rover product. It requires
more labor time, paid for in those expensive
British pounds, than its other Land Rover
cousins. Volume might be the answer except
for the cost of manufacture and the inability
for the current model to meet US legislative
and regulatory standards.
What’s providing volume sales for Land
Rover are the Range Rover Sport, Range
Rover, LR3 and LR2. These vehicles are profitable
for Land Rover [and Ford] but they
create their own dilemmas for Land Rover.
Some might become Land Rover enthusiasts,
but honestly, a vehicle requiring a computer
system to diagnose running problems is not
going to be the first choice for remote fieldwork.
They’re purchased by owners whose
needs are for family transport, daily commuting,
vacation trips and high speed highway
driving. They are fascinating vehicles in terms
of engineering and off-road orientation. The
care and feeding of this new Land Rover
owner – who expect annual updates and
enhancements – might just soak up Land
Rover’s resources that otherwise might go to
making the Defender available for the US
market.
How badly do Land Rover enthusiasts
want a Defender back in the US The price
asked for 1993 Defender 110’s and the ’93-
’98 Defender 90’s tells us that both models’
popularity remain enormous. Visually, the
Defender never strayed far from the purposeful
look of the Series I – III Land Rovers. In
terms of engineering, the Defender stretched
the extraordinary capabilities of the Series
models even further. Our relatively low fuel
prices meant that we received the exceptional
3.5/3.9 liter Rover V-8, which gave the
Defender the acceleration and highway speed
necessary for living large in the USA. In the
‘90’s, we bought every Defender brought in –
the problem for Land Rover was that the
annual total rarely exceeded 1,500. That’s not
really enough volume to assure updates to
meet regulatory changes.
Ah, those darned regulations – like
airbags, side curtains, and more. For example
in April, 2007, the federal government
announced that all new passenger vehicles

sold in the US will be required to have antirollover
technology by the 2012 model year.
We haven’t even begun to review the emissions
standards that keep Land Rover’s outstanding
diesels out of the US market.
When General Motors threatened to buy
Land Rover in the 1960’s, British enthusiasts
rebelled and led Land Rover convoys to
protest the possible takeover. If Americans
want the Defender back in the US, maybe we
need a convoy to Irvine, CA, to let Land Rover
know of our deepest desires.
_______ ________
Frank Twarog, Hinesburg, VT has the
desire. He’s a lot younger but we’re both
graduates of the University of Vermont. When
Frank became a student, I taught courses in
the History Department. He owned a Series
Land Rover and hung around Rovers North
when he should have been in the library.
Frank was one of the first people to share my
joy when a Rovers North 2.25 rebuild was
dropped into the QE I. During the ‘90s, he’s
writing articles for the Rovers North News and
soon after, landed a sales position with the
company. A Defender 90 followed, as did a
family and a new profession as a lawyer in
Burlington, VT.
Recently, Frank sent photocopies of a
1966 and 1973 Vermont business directory
featuring Burlington’s Land Rover dealer. In
1966, Lakeview Buick, Inc., sold Buick, Opel
[Buick’s captive import] and Land Rover.
Their multistory building was on Burlington’s
hilly Main Street, and you drove up a ramp to
get to the service department on the second
floor. As a college student during that time, I
remember ogling at the one Land Rover in the
showroom window. As my Morris Minor had
cost me $400, a new Land Rover seemed like
an impossible stretch to me.
By 1973, Lakeview Buick had followed
its competitors to the suburbs and opened a
spacious new dealership about 3 miles away.
Without the view of Lake Champlain, they had
morphed into Lake Buick. By that time, UVM
was employing me at a salary scale that continued
to assure me that I would remain
Rover-less. Still, I would drive my Simca out
to Lake Buick to stare at the Land Rovers.
Frank sent a note accompanying the
photocopies. “Drove by Lake Buick
today…they’re tearing it down.” It was a
quaint time when Rover of North America,
and later, British Leyland, threw their products
into the mix with other marques. Long
before the Sales Guides wore wrinkled khaki
shirts and expedition boots, they wore slick
polyester shirts and white boots. “Did you
want a vinyl roof with that Electra 2.25, sir”
_______ ________
In April I conversed with correspondent
Randy Dickson of White River Junction, VT.
When I asked him “what’s your job” he
responded with a short answer. “I’m an
industrial arts teacher,” he said. Then he
asked me the same question. Oh, boy, this is
going to take a while.
Like many people in Maine and throughout
northern New England, I have multiple
jobs, depending on the seasons. Painting
houses, caretaking
summer properties,
wood cutting and
clearing are best
accomplished in
drier, warmer
weather. In northern
New England, that
means late spring,
summer or early
fall. Fortunately for
me, I have other
jobs - editing this
magazine, assisting at our local school, building
web sites, public humanities programs
and bartending. Reading, talking, surfing the
web and drinking occur year round.
Summer people have commented to me
that my two ’66 Series II-A’s are perfect vehicles
for the island. Unknowingly they treat the
Land Rovers as if they were delicate antiques,
unable to withstand the rigors of daily use.
Wrong! The Station Wagon and the Hardtop
are perfect vehicles for island use, but
because of different qualities.
This cool spring has meant that fetching
wood for the stove has been a steady need.
Fold up the rear seats in the station wagon,
remove the ammo box [my version of the
fabled “Continental Touring Kit”] and the
crate full of “Car in A Can” fluids, and you
have a lot of room in which to stuff firewood.
In April, a new summer family came into
the bar for food and drink. They’re
Connecticut residents building a summer
home on newly-cleared waterfront. My ears
perked up – what are you doing with the
logged trees In fact, they had some local
brothers clear the land and cut the trees into
log length already. If they didn’t want the
wood, I was free to drive down and take it. A
phone call the next day cleared the way for
me to add to my depleted woodpile.
When I arrived at the lane to their lot, I
got out of the Rover to walk the land. It sloped
down steadily towards the rocky shore. The
ground was quite soft with runoff, but I
noticed some ledge and rocks in the ground
that should provide solid footing. I got back
in the Rover and drove down in first gear low
range to the wood stacked near the shore. I
loaded up the Rover with wood stacked nearly
to the roof. Then I headed back up the hill.
English magazines will tell often about
the challenges of off roading in slippery
grassy fields. They’re right. My route required
that I turn left and then head up a steep rise
with no room to gain momentum. The Rover’s
wheel started to spin in first low range.
Shifting into second lessened the wheelspin
but I couldn’t get enough speed to make it up
the hill. I considered shifting into high range
4-wheel drive but I knew that first gear would
be too low for the entire run up the hill; shifting
a non-synchro II-A on the fly just looses
momentum.
After a few tries I could see ruts forming
in the field, so I got out of the car to plan a
different route. I had no desire to empty the
Rover of wood – it had taken too much energy
to stuff it in. Taking a longer way round
would give me more room for momentum,
but take me across potentially softer ground.
Just in case, I knew I had my Hi-Lift for assistance,
so I gave the new route a try.
Fortunately, it worked!

TECH LINE
[Rovers North staff receive phone calls daily asking for technical
advice, parts and accessory recommendations, off roading questions,
maintenance tips and repair diagnoses. Between calls, we
asked the Rovers North staff to share some recent technical questions
with us –ed.]
Steve Haskell (’93 Range Rover Classic)
Maintenance of the braking systems on Range Rovers, Defenders and
Discoverys often involves installing new disc pads and turning rotors.
All too often, you put it all back together only to find that you’re listening
to squealing every time you apply the brakes. How can you
avoid this problem
As a Porche and Audi mechanic, I found myself frustrated by customers
who disliked the noise emanating from their newly installed
brakes. So I contacted Raybestos experts for advice.
First, recognize that when brake rotors are turned [to level off
their surfaces], they often become magnetic. Most enthusiasts and/or
mechanics will rinse the rotors off quickly with distilled water or
brake cleaner. The problem is that the surface never gets clean this
way because the magnetism keeps metal shavings from the machining
firmly attached to the surface.
Step 1 - their recommendation to me was to use dishwashing
liquid to create soapy water. Wash the rotors in the water and you’ll
feel the rotor filings in the mix. Clean them this way first, and then
spray a light coat of conventional brake cleaner.
Step 2 – Use synthetic caliper grease sold at parts stores [e.g,
Permatex or similar brands] rather than the normal grease, on the
back of the brake pads. Brakes surfaces reach 400 – 500 degrees F;
if you’re using antiseize compounds or conventional grease on the
back of the pads, they will likely melt and drip off.
Mike Koch (ex- MOD Series III 109”)
Electrical problems can bedevil enthusiasts, particularly when the
Previous Owner left no schematics in the car when it was sold.
Recently, a customer called about his newly-purchased 2000 Range
Rover. It had Hella lights installed on the brush bar. The Hellas were
wired to go on only when the high beams were engaged; however, the
lights would only stay on when the owner actually held his finger on
the switch. If he released the switch, the Hellas shut off.
Step 1 - The starting point must be to trace the wiring from the
brush bar though the grill.
Step 2 - Look to see if a relay was installed; ideally, that will be
the case.
Step 3 - Test the relay to see if it works correctly.
Step 4 - Test the switch for the Hella lights to determine if it is
working properly
My key point is that if you don’t take the time to trace the wiring,
or have it done for you, you will not be able to diagnose the problem
effectively. Replacing a part right off the bat is generally ineffective in
electrical problems.
A customer called with concerns that their gearbox had become
stiff and difficult to engage smoothly. What steps should they take
Step 1- It sounds so basic, but often this problem results from
low hypoid oil levels in the gearbox. Check the level by removing the
fill plug on the left side of the transmission case. More often than not,
it’s quite low. If you can find any to examine, you want to see a glossy
brown color. If you run the oil between your fingers, you should not
feel grit or metal filings. If your fluid is quite dark consider draining
it out and replacing it with new gear oil. If it’s milky, then it’s contaminated
with moisture.
Step 2 – Check the transfer case, too. That fill plug is on the back
side of the transfer case, behind the transmission. If it is low, then fill
it to level. Hint -if it gushes out at you and you have found the transmission
down in level, then you have a bad seal between the transmission
and the transfer case. Know that you will have to fill the transmission
and release some from the transfer case until you remove both
from the car and replace the seal.
Step 4 – Make certain that your clutch fluid level is up to the fill
line in the clutch reservoir. Look at the fluid color –if it’s gray or dark,
you might have disintegration of the rubber seals inside the clutch
master cylinder. Your fluid level will be normal but the clutch action
will feel ineffective rather than spongy. Fluid is likely leaking past ineffective
seals.
Step 5 - If the fluid color is light brown and you have a firm
pedal, then crawl underneath the right side of the car beneath the
slave cylinder. If you have a Series I, II or II-A, you want to make certain
that the adjustment nuts at the slave cylinder rod are at the correct
length. The distance between the top of the slave cylinder to the
adjustment nut [the top one of the two on the pushrod] will be 2 7/8
inches. Use a set of calipers or even an elementary school compass to
effect the measurement.
Step 5 – If the fluid level in your reservoir is down, and you don’t
have a firm pedal, then you might have a leak at the slave cylinder.
Check for fluid leaks around the slave cylinder, or at the point where
the rubber clutch line screws into the slave cylinder. Slave cylinders
can be rebuilt, but you’ll need to make certain that the inner surfaces
are very smooth and clean. If you have much pitting inside the cylinder,
a rebuild kit probably won’t work.
A customer replaced a Zenith carburetor with a Weber 34 ICH
on a ’72 Series II-A. Why will it run only when the choke cable is
pulled out
Step 1 - Make certain that you have adjusted the mixture screw
to the factory setting. Turn the mixture screw [the long screw at the
bulkhead side of the carburetor] in all the way, and then back it off 2
½ turns.
Step 2 – Make certain that the carb is tightly installed on the
intake manifold. Make certain that the top carb cover screws [there
are 4] are tight, also.
38

Step 3 – Check the intake manifold for leaks between the manifold
and the block. There are several bolts and nuts that hold the
manifold to the block. Engine vibration can loosen them. Remember
that there are 3 nuts underneath the manifold that cannot be seen.
Find them with your fingers and use a ½ inch socket to tighten them.
If the car will run, spray WD 40 or PB Blaster along the gasket
between the manifold and block. If the rpm changes slightly, you have
an intake leak that will require you to replace the gasket.
Step 4 – Check your ignition timing. First, make certain the
points are gapped correctly at .14 - .16 thousandths. Secondly, use a
timing light to set the timing. If the timing is too retarded, the engine
will feel sluggish and you’ll be tempted to enrichen the mixture. If the
timing is too advanced, the engine will often run too hot and will run
on or “diesel” when it’s shut off.
Les Parker (Series III Lightweight, ’97 Discovery 4.0
5-speed manual, ’92 Range Rover Hunter Edition,
’88 Range Rover Classic [for off roading], Defender 90 awaiting
a 300 Tdi)
After major work on engines, it’s often necessary to set the
engine timing up anew. To accomplish this on a car with a distributor,
it’s best to use a technique called static timing. Here’s how you
accomplish this.
Step 1 – Remove the ignition wire from the coil to prevent an
accidental start. Put the gearbox in neutral and engage the handbrake.
Step 2 – Remove the valve cover so you can see the pushrods.
When the pushrod for cylinder #1 [the one closest to the radiator] is
relaxed, you’re at top dead center. Then, make certain that the rotor
arm on the distributor is pointing towards the #1 cylinder.
Step 3- You should now be able to replace the ignition wire to
the coil and start the motor. It should be easier to time it now.
Many enthusiasts love their 24v military vehicles until they
require ignition parts. Then they discover that 24v parts can be difficult
to find and/or more expensive that they wish to spend. One solution
is to convert the ignition portion of the electrical system from 24
to 12 volts. Here’s a checklist:
Step 1 – Order a Rovers North Proline PLE143 distributor, which
comes complete with cap, rotor, points, and condenser. Also, you’ll
want to order a distributor base plate and gasket to replace the different-sized
one used on 24 volt systems.
Step 2 – Determine whether you have a 7:1 compression ratio
head or an 8:1 head. Most of the ex-military vehicles were 7:1 heads;
if the head has been rebuilt, it has probably been machined into an
8:1 ratio. 7:1 heads use an RNE 619 sparkplug; 8:1 heads use an RNE
630 sparkplug.
Step 3 – Order a Genuine Land Rover spark plug wire set [RNC
524]. When you replace the wires, remember that Land Rover distributors
rotate counterclockwise. The firing order of 1-3-4-2 goes
around towards the left, not the right.
Step 4 – Replace the coil with an RNE 522. The ignition wire to
the coil will come from a box attached to the valve cover; you’re looking
for a white wire.
With these changes, your ignition system becomes 12 volts but

Discovery-
The Next Series Rover
Story by: Randy Dickson
[Randy Dickson, White River Junction, VT, once taught auto
mechanics to vocational high school students. Once electronic
ignitions took over, he chose to become an Industrial Arts teacher
of woodworking in middle schools. Along with his Sheltie, Molly,
he’s an avid local history buff who raises a significant issue with
us –ed.]
My family purchased a 1969 Series II-A 88” SW, the short-term “bug
eye” model. My father selected it to replace a Willys Station Wagon
with the flathead 6-cylinder. The Willys performed well but had lost a
battle to the rapid rust of Cape Cod sand and salt. It probably didn’t
help that we drove through salt water to our home when there was a
full moon tide! Dad liked the idea of the Rover’s aluminum alloy body,
and the 4-speed gearbox [Willys and early AMC Jeeps had only 3-
speed gearboxes -ed]. It was Land Rover green, had the rear seats for
four (child-size), and a bonnet-mounted spare.
I learned to drive in that truck well before I turned 16. Dad gave
me permission to take the keys from the dish on the desk, and off I
would go on the back roads of South Orleans. It was amazing to drive
a new 88”! Everything felt in-sych, even the gearbox! Our Land Rover
performed many family duties: it served as a commuter vehicle,
moved the boats, made dump runs, completed yard chores, and of
course, took us on family outings down Nauset Beach and back.
The Land Rover was a common sight in the Orleans area of Cape
Cod, MA, as we had a local dealer, Orleans Motors, on the town cove.
Certainly our Rover benefited from their care. When Land Rover left
the North American market in 1974, Orleans Motors became an
International Scout dealer. Sadly, the last I saw of the Orleans Motors
building, it was a retail clothing shop.
Running a Series Land Rover today as a daily driver is a challenge.
Many of us who lived with a Series Land Rover upgraded it to
some modern standards. After all, we need our cup holders, fog lights
and roof racks. When we approach the safety side of things, we enter
into more challenging territory. We desire contemporary seat belts,
power assist and/or disc brake conversions, better lighting, and
engine performance that matches today’s highway driving. These
upgrades can become costly. I’ve been recently considering purchasing
a Series pickup but then I know I’ll want to change it (a lot!) once
it’s in the driveway.
What can be as versatile, as effective and as fun as a Series but
already incorporate modern engineering Perhaps the answer lies
with the next Rover to hold the Series nomenclature, the Discovery.
Since I have a good Discovery I, named “Tigger,” perhaps it
should become my next Series Rover. Tigger arrived in 1994, the first
year in North America for the Discovery. The ‘94 was a one-model
year for the US market. There were limited options – color schemes,
rear jump seats or not, automatic or 5-speed standard [the only US
model with a manual transmission]. It came equipped with many
of the features and mechanicals we sometimes want to add to our
Series vehicles (don’t lie now - admit it!)
There’s no shortage of the first model Discoverys, now called
Discovery Series I’s. They were both produced in high numbers for
their day (65,444 Discovery I’s were sold in the US from 1994 to
1999). There are many to choose from on the used car market; parts
and upgrades are plentiful.
Here are 10 good reasons to consider a Discovery in lieu of your
next classic Series vehicle. First, they cruise at 65 MPH with a lot less
drivetrain noise. Secondly, I’m a fan of cruise control for interstate
driving. It’s also hard not to love the Rover V-8’s overall power and
smoothness.
48

I have to admit that I’ve become a fan of the Land Rover automatic
for both on-road and off-road driving. The electronic ignition system
has never let me down. The power assisted disc brakes come
with an antilock feature for safety in ice and snow. The coil spring
suspension with the anti-sway bars assures additional safety in all
weather conditions. My Discovery has great road manners, helped by
the wider 58.8” track. It’s been great right out of the box in off-road
situations, too, and there are plenty of off-road options if I want to
upgrade the vehicle.
Finally, the Discovery has all of the creature comforts that have
become necessities for a modern daily driver - multi-speed wipers
and windshield washers, truly effective heater and defroster systems,
rear window wipers, door locks that lock, doors that shut tight, quiet
and calm interiors, inertia reel seat belts and air bags.
No - I’m not busting on our beloved Series I, II, IIA, or Series III.
They all do their truck chores with ease, are mechanically simple
(except those damn drum brakes - simple yes, just not easy for me!),
and are supported by every upgrade you can think of. Well - not the
aerodynamics package of course!
But as we upgrade our Series to a Disco I (or to Range Rover)
specs., why not get a Disco Why not They are plentiful, relatively
cheep, lack the modern computer problems (well - most of the problems...),
and are driver friendly on long trips and around town.
This was my thought process when confronted with this difficult
choice. Mind you, I loved my beautiful 1967 Series-IIA 109” 5-door
SW. With a new galvanized frame, it had a sweet-running 4-cylinder
with overdrive and a capstan winch to boot. But the 109” was not fully
up to the task I had in mind for it. Sure, it would hold many paying
customers, their canoes and gear piled onto a trailer, but not really at
highway speeds and certainly not up to contemporary safety expectations.
So, the more I thought of all the changes required to upgrade
this beautiful old ‘67 Series II-A, the more I realized it was loosing its
unique character. The reality that there would not be much left of the
original truck by the time it met my expectations. So the seven seat
Disco appeared to be the solution with its ability to carry seven, travel
at 65 mph, go off-road, and leave the 109” original.
The Discovery, like the 109”, had to perform dual roles of onroad
transport and off-road trail tours - which it did with ease, in
stock form. The only place the Disco fell short was inevitable. It just
did not look the part of pure “Safari” as the 109” did. But then again,
what vehicle does look African Safari more than a 109” station
wagon
The Discovery, when purchased, was locked out of low range as
many of them are - as it was a “grocery getter” in its previous life, low
range had never been engaged. One sun roof would not move from
the “shut’ position, but it’s fixed now. Otherwise, it’s been a great
investment. I’ve left it fairly stock except for a home made bumper
bar to hold the “High-Lift” jack, pull line, etc., a ladder and 2/3 roof
rack, and a tad bit of black paint - Camel Trophy style! It 3may be in
for some tweaks by the end of this summer, as its last trip had the
front spoiler being used as a “dirt scoop” on the trails.
In these days of nearly $4.00 premium fuel, gas mileage can
become depressing. My Discovery’s EPA rating is 16 mpg highway, 13
city. That’s about the same as my Series II-A 109” used to get, too. The
average 2007 small four cylinder pickup with DOHC engine and
numerous other efficiency enhancing features is only rated at 18/21
mpg city/highway. So our older 3.9 liter push-rod engine does not
look that bad after all – and the pickup will not seat as many people.
As the consummate people-hauler, as an excellent tow vehicle, as
a superbly competent off roader, and a brilliant daily driver for contemporary
use, consider the Discovery as the logical successor to the
classic Series Rover. If you have the choice, you might keep your classic
Series Rover closer to original (with a few tweaks of course!) and
accept its limitations on the back roads, and have a Discovery for
everything else.

My Rover and Me
Story & Photos by Amy Langevin
[Amy Langevin, Cumberland, ME, lives with her husband John and
children Collin, Conor, Christian and Aynsley. Asked often by her
children, “Why can’t you be more normal like other Moms,” she
refuses to conform to what society expects from a 40-something
Director of Health and Wellness at the University of New England.
Here’s her story –ed.]
It wasn’t until recently that I became hooked on Land Rovers. As a
young child, I spent my summers in the shade of a ’47 Willy’s Jeep
during our visits to Little Pleasant Bay, in East Orleans, on Cape Cod
(I consider those my formative 4x4 years). As I walked along Nauset
Beach, I always loved looking at all the “beach buggies,” especially
the Volkswagen-based buggies that seemed to have no problem with
the sand without four wheel drive! In later years, I would see various
Rovers navigating the deep sands of the outer beach, but never really
gave them a second glance.
My love affair with Rovers began with the acquisition of a ’97
Discovery XD Camel Trophy edition (screaming yellow!). When I met
John, I was driving a trusty but dowdy domestic minivan sporting
210,000 miles. I was in deep denial of the actual state of that vehicle,
but with great prodding and convincing from my husband, I
reluctantly donated it to charity and assumed the wheel of the aforementioned
Rover. I immediately dubbed it my “boyfriend car”. With
its bright exterior and extensive off-road packaging, I likened my
driving it to a high school girl wearing the football star’s letter jacket…it’s
a bit big and obviously made for someone else. I have never
officially been off-road in this Rover. Not unless you count the night
we came home from a party and I decided to take a few tours around
the yard, just to see what it was like. I do hope to someday test the
Rover’s mettle off-road.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the other Rover my husband
owned at the time. It was a cherry red soft-top D-90, also a ’97. It
was his pride and joy. As with all vehicles we fall in love with, he too
was in denial about its functionality. Listed on the title as “Totaled,”
the previous owner had taken it for a swim without the benefit of a
snorkel. My husband bought the Defender (and the XD) from Land
Rover Scarborough. The story of the D-90 is longer and more
involved, but essentially the original owner (name unknown) totaled
it, then another gentleman from Cumberland bought it from an insurance
company and restored it (mostly).
50

In 2000, John happened to be at Land Rover Scarborough at the
same time as the Defender’s owner. My husband promptly offered to
buy it. He owned the D-90 for about three years, and sadly had a lot
of trouble with it (replaced the transmission, brakes, had numerous
electrical problems, etc.). Despite all the problems, he LOVED that
vehicle. He wouldn’t even let me drive it! It just took more time and
energy (and free-flowing cash) than he had at the time. When he
went to get it inspected at the dealer for the last time, the estimate
rose to $5,000.
While John struggled emotionally and financially with the
Defender, I soon discovered the benefits of driving a Discovery: great
visibility, outstanding sound system, ability to go anywhere and over
any terrain, and that bright yellow color - school buses are painted
the same color because it’s the safest color on the road - plus the fact
that it’s impossible to lose in a parking lot.
I’m also impressed with the V-8 engine. I quickly learned that
boxy 4x4s are fully capable of passing other cars with alarmingly high
bursts of speed. The first time I went to pass someone on a two-lane
country road, I forgot that I was not in my underpowered six-cylinder
minivan, and simply put the pedal to the metal. I soon remembered
where I was when the Rover ROARED to life and literally shot out
from under me! It felt like I was left sitting in the back seat, holding
the steering wheel while trying to control this latent beast I just
unleashed. Quite an eye-opener!
It wasn’t long before my teenage sons caught Rover fever.
Whether they appreciated the superior craftsmanship and the whole
Rover legend I’m not sure, but I do know for certain they liked the
attention this over-the-top vehicle brought them. It’s a head-turner
with the high school crowd, and they soon requested to be picked up
at school in it. When it came time for Driver’s Ed, I decided that my
15 year old Conor should have a taste of the Rover experience, and
took him for a test-drive in the local graveyard (who could he hurt).
As Rover drivers know, handling one is a completely different experience.
And as I now know, letting your inexperienced teenage son
drive one in a graveyard is not the best idea. We didn’t realize how
close they put those gravestones to the road, especially on the turns!
(Note: no gravestones were harmed, but I imagine the groundskeeper
was busy the next day filling in the ruts).
The appeal of the XD Camel Trophy Edition spread to other areas
of my life. I teach at a University, where I here such comments as,
“Oh, I’ve always wondered who drove that pimped-out Rover!” from
my students. Occasionally, I’ll hear other comments about how much
someone likes the vehicle, but in general the XD seems to draw the
high-testosterone crowd. Speaking of my husband, he remains a
Rover fanatic through and through. Even though the D-90 is long
gone, we still take photos of other Rovers when on vacation. For
instance, a high percentage of our Caribbean photos are of island
Land Rovers, and they’re as much of a draw to him as the turquoise
waters and balmy breezes.
But despite all the bells, whistles and muscular exterior, this
Land Rover the best car I’ve ever owned. The yellow XD paint shade
color still clashes with my salon-blonde hair, and I’m not sure I would
have picked this car out for myself initially; but I still wouldn’t give it
up for anything - although those Caribbean-based Defender 110s do
appeal to my feminine side. In the end, though, perhaps one day the
XD will be passed down through the children, along with grandmother’s
fine china.

DOWN on the FARM
Story & Photos by Jason Gottlilieb
[Jason Gottlieb, Boston, MA, has “an affinity for clunky-looking
metal contraptions.” This would explain the 30-year old’s
fascination with his Series Land Rovers. He uses them on his
family’s farm when he tires of his financial service webcasting
position and urban cycling. Here’s how he keeps them down on
the farm –ed.]
Christmas morning – a time that, for me, is always much more about
bringing together the people I care about and eating good food
Back Bay in Boston, right downtown, so it’s great to be able to get
away like this.
It was the perfect day for it, and a nice way for me to spend my
Christmas morning; I’d lost my grandfather this past year and, as we
all know, Christmas brings these sorts of things to the forefront of our
thoughts. Driving around the farm in a ’67 Land Rover was just what
I needed to clear my head and put a smile back on my face.
Returning to the house, I spotted something different, under a
blue tarp, something roughly the size of a small car. My mind was a
combined with lots of laughter. The days of looking forward to gifts
have long passed for me. I feel I really have everything I could
ever need and have moved in a direction of becoming much less
“material” in the last several years.
This Christmas, however, was different. I arrived at the “family
farm” in Gilmanton, New Hampshire to spend a Christmas day
roaming around in the ’67 Series II-A on the property. The 330-acre
farm is a wonderful place to visit, as you can really get away from
everything and there are plenty of difficult trails to explore. I live in
bit preoccupied, so I didn’t spend too much time thinking about it.
Walking back into the house, I received a set of very old-looking keys.
I was guided out to the field where the mysterious car under the tarp
was waiting. Pulling back the tarp, a beautiful (in my eyes) 1965
Rover II-A 88” HT appeared. I was told it was a parts truck for me,
that every single panel was pristine and would mate up exceptionally
well with my ’67. The frame was completely rotten; in fact so much
so that when the Rover was transported back to the farm, the
“pull-downs” on the flatbed started actually pulling the frame in two.
52

I studied the gray Rover, noting the original paint inside and the
condition of the truck. Yes, this truck had sat for a very long time. Its
inspection sticker read 1981, and I’m pretty sure that’s the last time
it was run. The tires looked possibly original, the pedals had
virtually no wear on the rubber, and the body was dent-free. Could it
be that the 41K miles on the odometer were original
I spent the next several weeks trying to decide if I really wanted
to salvage this truck. After all, what a project it would be! And did I
need another Rover Living in the heart of Boston, not even needing
a car at all, does it make any sense that I already own a new FJ Cruiser
replicar and a 1967 Rover II-A Now I’m thinking about restoring
another Rover I blame it on car addiction. That’s really the only way
I can justify all of this.
With the help and prodding of various Rovers North forum board
members, I soon realized that this truck was too good to part out. It
was basically a “barn-find” that unfortunately did not have a barn to
For now, the gray Rover (original mid-grey, I’m told) sits quietly
in a cold field in New Hampshire. This spring will begin a thorough
cleaning. I have already hooked up a battery and determined all
electronics, with the exception of wiper, function well. The starter
kicks, but the engine seems stuck. That was last week. This
weekend, after a week of sitting with Marvel Mystery Oil in the
cylinders, I’ll give a good tug on the engine and see if I can turn
it over.
Enthusiasts like to think that Rovers are an “obsession,” but we
know they’re an “addiction.” How else to explain my 14 hour drive
to Michigan to pick up a tropical top for my current ’65 II-A Family
responsibilities and my own preference for on-road safety keep me in
a new, air bag equipped FJ (old truck appeal with contemporary
engineering), but nothing can take away to feeling of driving a
50-year old mechanical beast that you can work on yourself. Series
Rovers are slow and they are unsafe in these modern times of
protect it from rust. Even the original ashtray was there. The body
had no dents. The tailgate was complete with all the bits. Even
elephant hide - colored sheaths still encased the tailgate chains! All
the elephant hide seats cushions and squabs sat proudly and a
complete Kodiak heater stood ready to burn my passenger’s feet. The
truck seemed to be begging to be brought back to life. No, I
couldn’t part this truck out! It will become my summer project! She
will ride again!
go-go-go. They beat you up after even a fairly short drive. Yet, at the
age of 30, I can’t get enough of them. I have a feeling this is only the
beginning of a larger Rover collection (obsession/addiction). I’ll be
writing more about the revival of my latest Land Rover. For now,
though, send good Rover karma my way – I’m probably going to need
it this summer!

SIGHTINGS
It’s spring in northern New England, which
means that mud, crocuses, and the New York
Yankees trying to buy yet another World Series
can’t be far behind. When you want the get the
attention of a winter-weary public, media giants
and savvy marketers know you need a Land
Rover somewhere in the scene. Once again there
are superb entries that warrant emptying more of
the crockery cupboards at Rovers North. As
always, it’s helpful for rookies to review the rules
for Sightings - it can be just as useful for the
grizzled Sighting veterans as well.
Rule # 1 - All Sightings receive recognition
and our appreciation, but not necessarily a mug.
We reward only those Sightings that capture the
unique qualities of Land Rovers and their
owners, and display them in an distinctive way.
Rule #2 - If your Sighting does not really
surprise you, it won’t surprise us, either, and 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
African safaris. You shouldn’t be surprised,
either, and should consider looking for other
ways to get a coffee mug.
Rule #3 - At an ever-changing date before
publication, we close off the Sightings. If we’ve
mentioned the Sighting in an earlier issue, we
won’t mention 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 - We’re not outfitting your kitchen.
If you qualify, one mug per Sighting per issue.
Rule #5- Sightings that are Land Rover
references in books go to our Literary Land
Rover editor for mention, but only when space
permits.
Rule #6 - Psst... if we can’t read you name
and address because of atrocious penmanship,
we can’t recognize your Sighting nor send you a
mug. Psst...E-mail submissions - remember we
can’t send a mug by e-mail. Send us your real
name and shipping address, too.
Rule #7 - Grudgingly, very grudgingly, the
Editor admits he might make an error. Let me
know if you think you’ve been jobbed, but all
decisions of the Editor are final.
Catalogue marketers know that if you want
to entice readers to pay attention, insert a Land
Rover onto your cover and sprinkle extra photos
throughout the publication. That’s what Sahalie
did and a bevy of Sighters received this catalogue.
Congratulations to Jeff Fisher, Wilmington, NC,
Steve Ayers, Evansville, IL, Kelly
Dunkelberger, Berthoud. CO, Ben
Geissinger, Watertown, MN, Glenn Shriver,
Chicago, IL, Charles Dooley, Dalton, PA,
Ethan Drain, Killingsworth, CT, Keith
Richardson, Woods Hole, MA, Jared
McNabb, Boston, MA, Jim Young and Wendy
McFarlane, Cornwall Bridge, CT, and Karen
Peterson, Alloway, NJ.
Julianne Milsom, Duvall, WA, noted the
presence of Series Rover in the Boston Proper
catalogue. The lithe women were wearing
dresses and shoes that would hamper entry into
II-A used in the photo shoot. Laura Espejo,
Omaha, NE, found Land Rovers on the Life Is
Good catalogue website. Greg Akin, Abilene,
TX, noted that Land Rover San Antonio supplied
a new Range Rover for the H.S. Trask leather
goods catalogue. We’ve mentioned that EMS uses
Land Rovers in its catalogues; Alan Doloboff,
Roslyn, NY and Eric Sousa [see Rule #6] found
that those pages are reproduced on the EMS
website, too. Jim Young and Wendy
McFarlane, Cornwall Bridge, CT, noted that the
British luxury goods manufacturer put a Series
Rover on safari in their ad for Dunhill Pursuit
cologne.
Ameriprize sells financial products for
people who understand what that means. Chuck
Carrig, El Paso, TX, Peter Hope, Colorado
Springs, CO, Brett Snyder, Satellite Beach, FL,
Fred Behrens, Powaton, VA, Jim Gabor and
Matt Weldon [see Rule
#6] all spotted the TV ad.
David Kessler,
Worthington, OH, claims
to have seen a Defender in
an American Family
Insurance ad.
Kohl’s stores have
moved east over the past
few years. Their most
recent newspaper flyers
featured a Defender 90;
implausibly, the male
model wears white pants!
Still, good job to Frank
Twarog, Hinesburg, VT,
Robert Wollschalger,
Mystic, CT, Gail
Ferguson, Pottstown, PA,
and Patricia Jansen
[see Rule #6].
Atmosphere Sports in
Montreal prominently
featured a Series III
County-striped Hardtop in
their flyer, reports Victor
Gould, Montreal,
Quebec. Milton Milner,
Hendersonville, NC,
spotted a Napapijri ad with
a Range Rover Classic in
the March Men’s Journal.
Sika is a windshield
adhesive caulk; when it
ran a recent ad on extreme conditions, it chose a
front shot of a new Range Rover, notes Kim
Conn, Snohomish, WA.
Women’s Health magazine attracted male
readers by using a lovely set of female legs,
stretched out from underneath a Series II-A in
Africa. It’s not a surprise but it was a delight to
see. Matt Parro, Whitby, Ontario, Canada, and
James Pitts, Dallas, GA, also spotted the page,
entitled “The Average Woman – Road Warrior.”
GQ Magazine ran an article on the “Go Anywhere
Jacket” and put a Series Rover into the photo
shoot. Dendy Jarrett, Nashville, TN, spotted the
article and has promised this mug to his wife.
Self Magazine ran an article on khaki
clothing and decided that it needed a Series III to
go along with the halter-topped female and the
stubbled male model. What’s with shag rug
steering wheel cover Joe Kordaiski,
Westwood, KS, read the article while “desperate
for reading material in the bathroom.” The
Atlantic Monthly spruced up its appearance with
a photo of a Series 109” 5-door crossing the
Sahara. Bernard McMahon, Washington, DC,
spotted the Rovers in this issue. He also noted the
Argentine shooting preserve advertisement
62

mentioned in an earlier issue.
A tragic photo of an LR3, on its side in a
creek, appeared in a Kansas City Star news story.
David Allen, Kansas City, MO, recognized the
silhouette of the new model in an accompanying
photo. I tore myself away from the bare-breasted
photos in Playboy to pay attention to the opposite
side of the page, sent in by Jeff Foland,
Clarksville, OH. That photo was of the Discovery
II used by expeditioner Nick Baggerly in Australia.
We note that Taco Bell is still running the ad
with the talking lions and Series Rover, mentioned
in an earlier issue but enjoyed by Vincent
Coratello [see Rule #6]. Tanqueray Gin now
uses a Series 109” SW in its latest TV campaign.
Karl Orscheln, Springfield, MO and Kelly
Horn, St. Joseph, MO, spotted the ad.
Television shows love to spice up their
offerings with Land Rovers. Greg
Hollingworth, Colchester, CT, found a
Defender 110 running contestants in an Amazing
Race episode. Chris Whybres, Phoenix, AZ, and
Matt Chelf, Wooster, OH, found a Range Rover
Classic on an episode of The Unit. Christopher
Davis, Albuquerque, NM, found a Range Rover
Classic in an episode of 24; Joshua McGuoirk,
Philadelphia, PA, saw a Discovery I on the same
show spinning its tires, “something I’ve been
unable to replicate.”
We’ve mentioned
these shows before,
but they still
delighted our
Spotters.
New to this issue
is the Doggie Day
Care episode with a
quick spot of a
Range Rover, seen
by Jennifer
Drugge, Beaufort
SC. The use of a
Land Rover on a
geologic expedition
to a volcano, and
watching a CGI of
volcanic ash bury it,
delighted Michael
Bondmass, Las
Vegas, NV. Brent
Lane, San Diego,
CA, watched a Series
109 hardtop during
a program on the
Foreign Legion.
Patti O’Donnell,
Danbury, NH saw a
Discovery in Prison
Break back in
March.
Brian and Ann
Riley, Minneapolis
MN vacationed this
winter in Curacao.
They found
postcards showing a
Military Lightweight on mountain trails and ads
for the “Yellow Jeep Safari,” featuring yellow
Defenders, not Jeeps, at work on the beaches.
Hampton Huckins, Chelmsford, MA,
vacationed in Brussels and watched a program on
Bali. There, the narrator proclaimed, “the Land
Rover is the perfect form of transportation. The
Defender 110 shown looked perfect to Hampton.
William Chau, Sylmar, CA, noted that an ad for
the Hi Lift Extreme, which appeared in Off Road
Adventures magazine, featured a Defender 90.
Edwin Remsburg, Fallston, MD, noted
that the online and movie trailers for Black Sheep
feature a Series III as part of the action. New
Zealand has a lot of Land Rovers still running
about. Dave Paglianite, Avoca, PA, just saw the
Starsky and Hutch remake and loved the
Series II-A 109” in the film. Laura Lopez,
Killean, TX, notes that the latest Nancy Drew trailer
has an LR3 in an action sequence.
It’s certainly the oddest Sighting of this issue.
Jeff Berg, Malden MA, spotted a Defender 90
model nestled in a diorama of the Coast Guard
Museum in Barnstable, MA. As Jeff asked, “What
role did a 90 in County trim play in the maritime
safety this historic New England town”
