It will be a few more weeks, but when It comes back, it will be leak free with new
chassis sections and Defender front disc brakes. It will have an NP 435?? Tranny and
overhauled Transfer Case amongst other things. New radiator etc etc I'll let you all
know what the various upgrades are like. I am sure that it will be excellent. I am
going to fit the heavy duty overdrive in the Timm has developed. It gives 32% higher
in top and 10%(I think) in the lowest of low range. 80 mph at 2000 rpm with the V8.
It will be a fast leak free, everyday driver that goes faster than a Defender on the
road to Moab and better off road than a Defender when I get there. It will have a
Limited slip Diff in it as well.
Kind regards,
Mark Pilkington
