WHAT'S BEEN DONE — FULL BUILD SPEC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DRIVETRAIN
• 200TDi engine conversion — the most desirable Defender
engine upgrade. More torque, better economy, far superior
reliability to the original 2. 5 diesel.
• Ashcroft LT77 gearbox — fully reconditioned. One of the
most respected names in Land Rover drivetrain work.
• LOF HD Pro Clutch with Britannica Resto Ultra HD fork —
heavy-duty spec built for uprated TDi engines under load.
• Boost pin likely done — it pulls with real authority.
SUSPENSION & AXLES
• TF Pro Sport shocks and springs — uprated front and rear
for better articulation off-road and improved load-carrying
on-road.
• Salisbury rear axle — stronger than standard, handles the
stress of towing and a loaded bed.
• Front differential guard — protects against rock, root and
stump strikes.
COOLING & INDUCTION
• Full alloy sport intercooler — keeps intake temps down
during sustained heavy use.
• Upgraded radiator — important for low-speed field work and
towing on warm days.
EXHAUST
• Straight-through exhaust — reduces back-pressure for
stronger pull under load.
EXTERIOR & FINISH
• Raptor paint coating throughout — tough, textured, highly
resistant to scratches, stone chips and chemicals.
• Kahn front grille and surrounds.
• LED headlights — brighter and more durable than halogens.
• 36" BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/ A — plenty of tread left.
KNOWN ISSUES
• Dash gauges currently not working — due to a bad earth
connection. A simple, inexpensive fix.

WHY THIS TRUCK WORKS FOR AGRICULTURE & ARBORICULTURE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FARMING & ESTATE USE
The 110 pickup configuration is the workhorse Defender
format — wide flat load bed for fencing, feed, tools and
equipment. The high/ low transfer box handles slow field
work on soft ground. The Salisbury axle and uprated
suspension take the strain of trailer towing. The 200TDi
delivers exactly the right torque curve for crawling across
wet fields with a loaded trailer behind you.
ARBORIST & TREE SURGERY USE
The 36" mud-terrain tyres and lifted suspension give genuine
access to woodland sites, forestry tracks and steep banks
that defeat conventional pickups. The flatbed carries
chainsaws, rigging, ropes and PPE securely. The Raptor
coating shrugs off the abuse of daily kit loading. The
straight-through exhaust and boosted TDi pull a chip van
or log trailer uphill without breaking a sweat.

FROM THE SELLER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"As you can see, this is not a Chelsea truck. It's noisy,
it's clunky — and it will take you absolutely anywhere.
It's been built to work. If you want something to show off,
look elsewhere. If you want a vehicle that will haul, tow,
wade and climb while looking properly hard doing it — this
is the one."
