letters to the editor<br />
Dear <strong>Rovers</strong> North,<br />
One day I pulled into a filling station in Rossville, GA. I spotted<br />
a Coniston Green Defender with its soft-top removed but its<br />
roof rack laden with serious adventure gear and numerous<br />
telling decals. The driver filling the tank looked the part of a<br />
National Geographic field man or a Wild Kingdom safari<br />
operative. Being a LR nut I felt compelled to speak with him<br />
about his admirable Defender 90. He was very friendly but<br />
gently derided it, saying, “Oh, this old thing? She’s got over<br />
300K miles on her. I’ve had several. I drive them back and forth<br />
to South America.” No wonder it didn’t appear to be a<br />
“grocery-getter.” This LR had happily spent its life puttering<br />
through mud, rivers, creeks, mountains, and the brutal<br />
Pan-American Highway.<br />
It seemed to me, a lifelong admirer of these machines, that<br />
this man truly used his LRs for one of their many primary<br />
purposes. I made a note of his organization, Rivers of the<br />
World, and later looked up his website. The driver was Ben<br />
Mathes, a missionary from Dawsonville, GA, who works to<br />
assist those in under-developed river basins in South America<br />
and around the world. His organization provides a plethora of<br />
services (all detailed on an impressive website). He's somewhat<br />
of a cross between Billy Graham and Indiana Jones, and he<br />
inspired me to donate some foreign-language gospel tracts to<br />
his organization. I’d have to say that although I own an ‘04<br />
Discovery II, and have seen hundreds of others in my time, this<br />
remains one of the most unique Land <strong>Rovers</strong> for me.<br />

Dear <strong>Rovers</strong> North,<br />
I have a 1995 Range Rover Classic SWB that up to a few<br />
months ago was serviced by a local shop that specialized in<br />
Land <strong>Rovers</strong>. The shop closed and now the nearest (intelligent)<br />
service is 150 miles away. The vehicle has been stalling<br />
frequently, similar to a problem that I had a few years ago<br />
which turned out to be a bad ignition module. I don't have<br />
any way of testing the ignition system, so I am only guessing.<br />
The problem is intermittent but when the vehicle stalls, there<br />
is no spark. It seems to be related to heat since the problem<br />
does not occur when the engine is cold. I had the same<br />
problem a few years ago and the mechanic replaced the<br />
module—probably not with a genuine part. Also, I have heard<br />
that relocating the module away from the distributor helps the
unit last longer. Do you have any recommendations regarding<br />
extending the life of the module beyond two years? Can you<br />
offer any suggestions on how to deal with this problem?<br />
To me this is one instance where neither the original Land<br />
Rover part nor the ProLine part is worth using. The Lucas<br />
‘Constant Energy Ignition System' used in the 90s vintage<br />
Range <strong>Rovers</strong> and Discovery’s is a defective system. It cannot<br />
take the heat in the engine compartment and fails<br />
frequently. Hence, it does not make any sense to continue to<br />
replace expensive, defective ignition modules.<br />
I am replacing the entire distributor and coil system with a<br />
Pertronix system that has proven to be reliable. I had hoped<br />
that <strong>Rovers</strong> North would have identified the problem with the<br />
Lucas system long ago and helped their customers by providing<br />
a more reliable replacement system. Years ago <strong>Rovers</strong> North<br />
was my go-to source for this type of advice, but I have found<br />
that your company has deteriorated to simply a supplier of<br />
(expensive) parts.<br />
I am sorry to see that happen, but all things come to<br />
an end…..<br />

[When the module goes bad, there will be little or no spark at the spark<br />
plugs. When it cuts out again, check by removing a spark plug and see<br />
the condition of the spark. It should be a strong blue spark; if it is<br />
yellow or no spark, then the module is a likely candidate for replacement.<br />
Should you change your mind, <strong>Rovers</strong> North stocks the re-location<br />
kit, # RNI041, and the replacement amplifier, #PLI024) –ed.]<br />
Dear <strong>Rovers</strong> North,<br />
I wanted to give a “thank you” to Art [Limacher] and Les<br />
[Parker] for their assistance on July 16, <strong>2010</strong>. I found myself<br />
in the unfortunate position of having my ’97 Discovery SE7<br />
unmovable in a Savannah, GA, underground parking garage.<br />
An over-eager valet had pulled the parking brake full on<br />
despite a noticeable resistance in the lever. After removing the<br />
connection between the lever and the cable, dropping the<br />
cable assembly below to the undercarriage, I was unable to<br />
free the inner cable so it would move in the sleeve and release<br />
the drum. I even tried bolt cutters to snip the complete<br />
assembly but it would still not release the inner cable. With<br />
my cellphone battery weak and an anxious 7-year old at home<br />
waiting for his birthday camping trip, I called RN and reached<br />
Art and Les, who advised me on everything from the cable<br />
connection at the drum, the adjustment procedures, even steps<br />
to take in the event of a tow.<br />
Based on their advice I made some additional cuts in the<br />
cable before the connection at the drum. I then rotated the<br />
adjusting point at the drum connector while pushing on the<br />
inner cable with a probe. Success! The cable was freed and a<br />
birthday camping trip was saved.<br />
I wanted you to know how much I have appreciated not<br />
only the fine replacement parts that RN has provided to my<br />
family’s vehicles, but the source of information that your staff<br />
is willing to provide in situations such as mine. Art and Les<br />
went beyond the call of duty and unknowingly made a little<br />
boy’s birthday something special. I will not forget the role RN<br />
played in saving the day.<br />

Dear <strong>Rovers</strong> North,<br />
Keep up the great magazine—I enjoyed reading about SCARR<br />
in my home state of Texas in the last issue. Though I and the<br />
rally are both located in Texas, it’s a 10 hour drive for me to<br />
attend. I’d love to go—maybe I need to look for a pickup and<br />
a trailer to get my Rover down there next year. Not sure how<br />
the 200,000 mile Range Rover Classic would do on such a long<br />
road trip.<br />
Gabe Moudy<br />

[There’s no reason that a Range Rover Classic with the proper<br />
maintenance and parts replacement can’t make that trip. Why not<br />
start assessing the condition of your Range Rover’s systems (cooling,<br />
electrical, cylinder compression, brakes, etc.) and start planning your<br />
trip for SCARR 2011? –ed.]<br />
Dear <strong>Rovers</strong> North,<br />
Thank you for such a great publication. You guys can motivate<br />
any reader into a hardcore Landy fan. You keep the hobby alive<br />
more than the actual manufacturer.<br />

[Steffan and Alexandra Sailer, Metzingen, Germany, continue their<br />
travels by Land Rover around the world. We join them in the<br />
Australian rain forests –ed]<br />
rovers magazine / 7
TTo nature photographers like us, nothing<br />
compares with the vibrant colours and<br />
unique fauna and flora of the tropical rain<br />
forest. Thanks to our Land Rover we<br />
entered Australia’s tropical region of<br />
southeastern Queensland.<br />
The Paluma Range National Park provided us with our<br />
first night in the tropics, but we quickly headed north to<br />
Mission Beach. This area might give us a glimpse at the<br />
rare, strange and endangered Southern Cassowary. This<br />
flightless bird stands up to 6 ½ ft tall, has unusual<br />
strength and very dangerous claws. When threatened, it<br />
becomes dangerous and will attack people by ripping open<br />
their bellies. Oddly, Cassowaries only eat fruits of rainforest<br />
trees so they need a large territory in which to feed; the<br />
influx of new roads into the forests makes them vulnerable<br />
to vehicle accidents. During days and days of constantly<br />
walking the trails cut into the dense rainforest, we got<br />
lucky and saw a single male and another time a female<br />
Cassowary right on the trail where we were walking.<br />
Obviously they liked the open trails better than to dodge<br />
through dense forest. Then, one day, a male with three<br />
chicks stood right across our path. We managed to take<br />
some photos before the chicks wandered closer to us out<br />
of curiosity; the male followed and we got an uneasy<br />
feeling. Knowing how dangerous this big bird can be, we<br />
backtracked slowly; the faster we backtracked the faster<br />
the Cassowary followed us. We became more concerned<br />
second by second and finally decided to run—at least this<br />
would keep the claws of the bird on the ground. Luckily,<br />
the bird was too lazy to break out in a full run and we<br />
reached the car out of breath, but unharmed.<br />
From Mission Beach we headed north again past sugar<br />
cane and tea plantations to reach the Atherton Tableland.<br />
While driving over uneaven terrain to look for a level<br />
campsite, we heard a loud, knocking noise from the<br />
Landy's underbody. As Steffan crawled under the Landy<br />
and demounted the very heavy skid plate we heard the<br />
strange sound coming from the nearby rainforest, for the<br />
first time. It sounded like shots. We searched out the<br />
source of the strange sound and found a Victoria Riflebird<br />
displaying! The bird created the shot-like sound by<br />
clapping his wings together until he attracted a female<br />
Riflebird. The Atherton Tablelands provided us with more<br />
amazing flora and fauna. The gigantic Curtain and<br />
Cathedral Fig Trees can spread over three acres of land<br />
with a girth of the multiple trunks extended over 140 feet.<br />
This is the home region of the Platypus, which resembles<br />
a combination of a duck, otter and beaver.<br />
Driving north towards Cairns we crossed the Daintree<br />
River by ferry to reach more remote rainforests in northern<br />
Queensland. Heavy rains forced us out of our leaky rooftop<br />
8 / rovers magazine
tent and into the Land Rover. After three days of steady<br />
rain, we had to move on and traverse swollen rivers. Where<br />
other vehicles had to wait for the rivers to go down, our<br />
Landy had no problem getting through. Under the jealous<br />
observation of about a hundred of pairs of eyes, we<br />
got on the other sides safely. When we reached Cape<br />
Tribulation, the weather improved and the sun showed<br />
itself, finally. We laid out all our wet stuff in the sun to<br />
dry and enjoyed the weather. The following days brought<br />
nice weather and we made a lot of hikes in the beautiful<br />
and relatively untouched rainforests. Throughout this<br />
region we photographed unusual species of birds such as<br />
Sunbirds, Fig Parrots and Lace Monitors.<br />
Australia continually fascinated us with its unique<br />
geography, like Fraser Island, the world’s largest sand<br />
island. Only four-wheel drive vehicles can get permits to<br />
travel there, and the island has no formal roads, just sand<br />
tracks through the woods and along its beaches. It has no<br />
official campgrounds, no electric power or amenities.<br />
Unfamiliar with the public holidays of this country, we<br />
foolishly booked our trip for a popular weekend during<br />
school holidays; we were not alone.<br />
Since we wanted to go to Fraser Island the end of<br />
September, we had to buy a permit indicating our intended<br />
time of visit, online. No roads, only sand tracks through<br />
the woods and beach driving along the coastline.<br />
We booked beach camping, which means no facilities at<br />
all. No amenities, no power, nothing but solitude—or so<br />
we hoped. Instead we found ourselves confronting a long<br />
line at the ferry terminal.<br />
Once we arrived Fraser Island gave us all the challenges<br />
we hoped to find. The rutted tracks featured huge roots<br />
bursting through the ground, adding to the pounding<br />
through the steering wheel. The narrow paths meant that<br />
only one vehicle could pass through at a time, but<br />
stopping might mean we would become stuck in the soft<br />
surface, so we continued driving, always hoping not to<br />
have oncoming traffic in the critical passages. It took three<br />
hours of very concentrated driving to reach the beach. To<br />
find our campsite we had to cross a last, high sand dune<br />
and found a nice spot where we were far away from any<br />
people. Completely worn out, we finally relaxed and again<br />
thanked our Landy. We fell asleep to the soft sounds of<br />
the ocean. While we visited this island in Harvey Bay, a<br />
breeding ground for whales, we took advantage of a whale<br />
watch tour to see and photograph these majestic animals<br />
up close.<br />

Returning to Sydney, we embraced the comfort of<br />
civilization. We connected with friends Chris and Helene,<br />
through whom we met up with a Land Rover mechanic.<br />
He found worn out brake pads, destroyed front and rear<br />
bushings and worn out steering joints—no surprise after a<br />
year of driving on washboard roads. The repairs took a<br />
couple of days and we headed off west towards the Blue<br />
Mountains. We camped near the famous Three Sisters rock<br />
formation and there, met up with wombats. These funny<br />
marsupials resemble a big ball of fur with a bear-like head.<br />
They live in burrows but feed on grass, mostly at night.<br />
Shortly after we fell asleep we woke up again to the Landy<br />
shaking wildly. At first, we didn't know what was<br />
happening—an earthquake perhaps? Steffan said jokingly,<br />
“Perhaps a wombat scratching it's back?“ Sure enough,<br />
underneath the car, two wombats scratched their backs<br />
against the Landy’s frame. We chased them away—no easy<br />
task—and tried to get to sleep again. Every time we almost<br />
fell asleep, those pesky wombats returned to shake the<br />
Landy again. After two hours we finally gave up, packed<br />
our stuff in the middle of the night, and left the place to<br />
the wombats.<br />
Going further south we reached Murramarang National<br />
Park, famous for its tame Eastern Grey Kangaroos grazing<br />
along the beach regularly. At first we didn't see anything,<br />
but later in the day, nearly at dusk, the kangaroos<br />
appeared. They were not in the least shy and we could<br />
approach them without frightening them. The next<br />
morning, they were there again and we enjoyed some<br />
exciting hours together. Resident parrots came also visiting<br />
our camp while we had breakfast with them, so to speak.<br />
We continued west for another three days and reached<br />
Mildura, the capital of this dry agricultural region, and<br />
then drove another 70 miles across dirt roads to reach a<br />
stunning desert park. During the days we photographed<br />
the clay formations and wildlife, spotting several different<br />
kinds of parrots and other birds, lizard-like reptiles and our<br />
first Western Grey Kangaroos.<br />
Our travels took us next towards the Grampians<br />
Mountains. We passed endless wheat fields until reaching<br />
the Grampians National Park. We visited the famous<br />
'Balconies', rock ledges jutting out over a high canyon,<br />
and saw numerous different kinds of parrots and a lot of<br />
Kookaburras. The Laughing Kookaburra, with its unique<br />
cry, is Australia's most famous bird. From the Grampians,<br />
we went further south to the coast and drove the Great<br />
Ocean Road back towards Melbourne. Around Cape Otway<br />
we hoped to search for more koalas. We were thrilled to<br />
spot our first koala, but then we saw another and another<br />
and another; dozens on every large tree, feeding, brawling<br />
and cuddling.<br />
Now content, we passed Melbourne from west to east<br />
and finally reached Alpine National Park. Yes, Australia also<br />
has high country, but the mountains are not as steep and<br />
jagged as for example the European Alps or the Rocky<br />
Mountains. The peaks look flat and more like high plains<br />
than steep summits; at 6,500 feet Mt. Bogong is the<br />
highest. Since it was early spring, the plains were abloom<br />
in violet, yellow and white colours. We spent some really<br />
cold nights up in the mountains, until we finally turned<br />
back to Melbourne.<br />
Time now became a factor if we wished to continue our<br />
round the world travels to North America. Once again, we<br />
had to contend with the paperwork and cleaning<br />
associated with shipping vehicles across the ocean.<br />
This time our good luck failed us as our agent kept giving<br />
us conflicting statements as to the necessary forms and<br />
signatures, necessitating numerous long drives for no<br />
apparent reason. As Christmas approached we completed<br />
our paperwork and flew home to Germany to share time<br />
with our families, praying that our Land Rover would arrive<br />
in Los Angeles safe and sound and with its required<br />
paperwork! Did it make it? We’ll let you know as we<br />
continue our trek in the next issue.<br />

Land Rover unveiled its newest concept car, the Range<br />
Rover Evoque, at the Paris Auto Show this summer.<br />
Autoweek reported that this stylish take-off from the<br />
earlier LRX design should appeal to “woman and<br />
fashion-conscious urbanites.” Victoria Beckham, formerly<br />
Posh Spice, has agreed to serve as “an adviser to Land<br />
Rover on the Evoque project.”<br />
If Land Rover wants a Spice Girl as an automotive<br />
consultant, I should think they’d want a Spice Boy, too.<br />
Back In 1998 I participated in the formal celebrations of<br />
Land Rover’s 50th anniversary as a member of the Spice<br />
Boys UK Tour. Our group of New England’s bad boys<br />
included Chris Laws [Badger Spice], Peter Janney [Baby<br />
Spice], Barry Enis [Bald Spice], Scott Preston [Happy Spice]<br />
and me [Old Spice]. Channeling our inner Austin Powers,<br />
we did all the things that top-tier rock groups do on tours.<br />
We secreted ourselves in elegant country mansions [well,<br />
bed and breakfasts], set off security alarms [me on an early<br />
morning run], trashed hotel rooms [hauling off mattresses<br />
onto the floor during the British Airways strike], and<br />
became the darlings of local pubs [“not those bloody Yanks<br />
again!”].<br />
Ms. Beckman considers herself a walking fashion<br />
statement; I know just how she feels. Each day I choose<br />
a different Land Rover t-shirt to wear while on caretaking<br />
projects. My closet has over 5 pair of L.L. Bean hunting<br />
boots and boat shoes, matched with nearly four pair<br />
of jeans and Carhartts – I can barely get to work<br />
each morning for the sartorial decisions I must make<br />
every sunrise.<br />
The same care for style and fashion extend to my<br />
Land <strong>Rovers</strong>. The red Hi-Lift jack in the QM I highlights<br />
the faded Masai Red wings of the Series II-A. The Sears<br />
toolbox that resides in the QE I is bronze green, which<br />
looks just smashing against the car’s Sage Green panels.<br />
The Series I repair manual with its bronze green<br />
cover contrasts nicely against the patina of the elephant<br />
hide seats.<br />
Old Spice stands ready to assist the company in this time<br />
of need. Land Rover, have Posh Spice’s agent call my agent<br />
and we’ll do lunch.<br />
18 / rovers magazine<br />
On this 40th anniversary of the Range Rover, it would be<br />
churlish and petty of me to revive the long-simmering<br />
issue of class warfare between the Range Rover and other<br />
Land <strong>Rovers</strong>, but a recent incident forces my hand.<br />
At a very contemporary seasonal residence on this island,<br />
a delightful couple proudly displays their stunning Range<br />
Rover. The family dog, Webster, a Bernese Mountain<br />
Dog/Irish Setter mix, greets me with a welcome bark and<br />
an active tail each time I arrive to mow the grounds.<br />
Webster has been raised around his Range Rover, but his<br />
owners have always been complimentary about the lines<br />
of my Series II-A. One would think that a dog, an animal<br />
sensitive to the emotions of humans, would pick up the<br />
good feelings expressed by his owners, who fully<br />
recognize the heritage of their Range Rover. Sadly, this was<br />
not the case.<br />
As always, Webster greeted me when I drove up in the<br />
QE I to his house, pulling a trailer with my mowing<br />
equipment. He barked a few times, sniffed around my<br />
Land Rover and me, and then sidled up for a back rub.<br />
Once satisfied, he turned his head towards his Range Rover,<br />
looked back at my car and then sauntered towards the left<br />
rear wheel of my Land Rover. He lifted the appropriate leg<br />
and let out a healthy stream of territory-marking juice<br />
onto the tire.<br />
I watched in horror and dismay. Kneeling down to his<br />
height I asked Webster directly what prompted him to take<br />
this course of action. Do we not all share the Green Oval?<br />
Cut us and do we not all bleed green? He turned away<br />
without any response. Now I would be the last person to<br />
accuse my Range Rover clients of training Webster, overtly<br />
or subliminally, to demonstrate such a dismissive attitude<br />
towards a Land Rover, but I might park the Land Rover in<br />
a different spot when I return to mow next week.<br />
“Did you see the other Land Rover?” asked Raymond at<br />
the lumber yard. “What other Land Rover?” I wondered.<br />
It’s hard to drive more than 12 miles at a stretch on this<br />
small island – how come I hadn’t seen it in my work<br />
travels. I left the lumber yard and shortly thereafter, saw a<br />
blue Series II-A with NH plates. I pulled up behind the
Rover and flashed my headlights to get the driver’s<br />
attention – no response (“He was probably terrified that<br />
something would fall off if he stopped,” suggested one<br />
local wag.) Further down the road it pulled over and I met<br />
its owner, Ryan Swett, of Keene, NH and Portland, ME.<br />
Ryan lived on a sailboat in Casco Bay and found himself<br />
with little time to enjoy his Rover, so he had put it up for<br />
sale on Craigslist and quickly found a buyer, a new summer<br />
resident of this island. As promised, he had driven it up<br />
from Portland and would return to the mainland the next<br />
morning. We met up for a beer that evening and Ryan told<br />
me of his mixed emotions about selling the Rover.<br />
The Rover will become the island car for the Imber<br />
family of San Antonio, TX, Maxwell Imber, San Antonio,<br />
TX, and his father, Michael, had trolled Maine Craigslist<br />
sites for a Land Rover, found Ryan’s, and bought the car<br />
sight unseen. I met the entire family one evening when I<br />
stopped to introduce myself and share back issues of<br />
<strong>Rovers</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> with them. Texas hospitality took over<br />
and I found myself enjoying a great steak dinner with<br />
a delightful family.<br />
Max wore the enormous grin of every new Series owner<br />
and completely ignored all the car’s faults and potential<br />
problems. The devastating reality of all Series <strong>Rovers</strong> is that<br />
they will function reasonably well regardless of wear and<br />
tear or diffident maintenance. I could hardly fault Max for<br />
purchasing the car from a distance; my “test drive” of the<br />
QE I some 19 years ago consisted of riding around a farm<br />
field at 15 mph on a sunny autumn day. Max and I agreed<br />
that upon his return to the island we’d go over basic<br />
maintenance together.<br />
Three weeks later Michael called to say he was returning<br />
to the island for a sailing trip and wondered if I could tune<br />
up the Rover in advance “to make certain it runs.” Few<br />
activities bring more pleasure for a Rover owner than<br />
spending someone else’s money on someone else’s Rover!<br />
I drove over to their summer house and lifted the hood on<br />
the Rover. The engine compartment looked clean with<br />
no evident oil leaks. All fluids seemed topped up and<br />
reasonably fresh. I started the car, listened to it chug over<br />
the exhaust header pipe leak and watched the engine<br />
shake on its mounts. Pulling a spark plug required a<br />
breaker bar on the spark plug wrench. The tips looked jet<br />
black and caked over with soot (“I had to pull out the<br />
choke on the highway to get more speed,” Ryan had<br />
said earlier).<br />

After checking the points for condition and type, I called<br />
<strong>Rovers</strong> North to order a cap, rotor, points, condenser, spark<br />
plugs, and plug wires. After replacing parts and gapping<br />
the points carefully, I pushed the starter button without<br />
touching the choke. Although the engine was cold, it<br />
started up immediately and ran much smoother. I then<br />
looked down the carb throat and found it, too, covered<br />
with soot. I goosed the engine as I sprayed carb cleaner<br />
down the throat. The car still stumbled sporadically at high<br />
rpm, but smoothed out when PB Blaster was sprayed into<br />
the carb throat while accelerating. It was time to look at<br />
the fuel system.<br />
The fuel pump did not resemble the familiar Land Rover<br />
one and looked very rusty; touching it at all would likely<br />
mean replacing fuel lines. The in-line fuel filter looked ok<br />
but removing the small cylindrical filter on the Weber’s<br />
carb body showed a lot of grit in the system. I removed<br />
the top of the carb body, removed the accessible jets and<br />
sprayed them out. The carb bowl also had considerable<br />
crud around the jets. Cleaning all this made the car run<br />
even smoother, so I buttoned it up and left it ready for<br />
Michael’s arrival that weekend.<br />
All weekend I waited for the phone call complaining<br />
that the Rover had stranded him – the usual result of my<br />
repairs on a Rover – but it never came. This means that<br />
either the Rover ran perfectly or I’ve had my last dinner<br />
with the Imber family.<br />
In these dour times the effects of the current recession can<br />
put a damper on life decisions. The New York Times<br />
Sunday Business section featured a cover page article<br />
entitled “But Can It Make You Happy?” Academic<br />
researchers note that while people question whether the<br />
spending money on an item brings happiness, they don’t<br />
question that spending money on an experience – travel,<br />
learning new skills, a concert – produces longer lasting<br />
satisfaction.<br />
One reason for the impact of experiences is that we can<br />
reminisce about them. For example, even the most<br />
mundane trips – especially when taken in a Land Rover –<br />
can become memorable as we retell and relive the event.<br />
In tough economic times we all look for leisure experiences<br />
that simply cost less. Touring, exploring or camping in<br />
your Land Rover can make the shortest, simplest trip more<br />
compelling. When you travel in your Land Rover you join<br />
the thousands of adventurers who made Land Rover’s<br />
enduring reputation. In your Land Rover you feel special<br />
and you become the object of attention from other<br />
travelers; you’re not only enhancing your own life but<br />
that of others.<br />
In a recent travel photo essay, Timothy Williams of<br />
Indianapolis recounted that his brother, Hamish, had lost<br />
his job in Budapest. Together, they bought an old car and<br />
set off to tour Greece and Crete. “We spent our time<br />
camping and traveling, and meeting people from all over<br />
the world like we did when we were in our 20’s,” Timothy<br />
wrote. “Keep in mind that we are both in our 40’s now<br />
and are supposed to have settled down. Travel is freedom,<br />
and the smallest things become an adventure. It’s a<br />
departure from the everyday that reminds you that there<br />
is a huge world out there worth exploring.”<br />
Above all else your Land Rover comes fully equipped for<br />
travel, anywhere and anytime. If traveling proves liberating<br />
and discovery resides in appreciating life’s little moments,<br />
your Land Rover should be your vehicle of choice.<br />
Remember that any trip of any distance becomes a greater<br />
experience in your Land Rover – start driving now.<br />
J. D. Powers and Associates conducts numerous<br />
automotive product surveys. This year their “customer<br />
retention survey” measured satisfaction by rating long<br />
term durability, resale value and overall vehicle quality.<br />
This survey asked owners of 2008 vehicles whether they<br />
would select the same brand for their next car.<br />
Honda topped the survey at 64.7%, followed by Lexus,<br />
BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Land Rover came in at 49% -<br />
above the industry average- and just behind Cadillac, but<br />
well ahead of Jeep, GMC, Dodge, VW, Porsche, Audi and<br />
Mini. Sadly, Jaguar trailed the pack at only 26.2%, which<br />
may be why former parent Ford read Castle Bromwich and<br />
Halewood the riot act over poor quality in 2008.<br />
This matters to Land Rover as parent company Tata<br />
considers further consolidation of Jaguar and Land Rover<br />
components. Jaguar and Land Rover’s sales have risen in<br />
<strong>2010</strong> – let’s hope they both continue to get it right.<br />

First Impressions: Range Rover Revival<br />
text & photo by: Nick Brenckle<br />
[Nick Brenckle lives in New Branford, CT, with his wife Dana and Brodie,<br />
the dog. Nick decided to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Range<br />
Rover by picking up a Range Rover project car. Here’s his first<br />
impression. –ed.]<br />
Some might say it’s a good thing having a certified Rover<br />
mechanic as a friend; others might conclude that it may lead<br />
one astray. All I know is that when my friend Walt opened his<br />
own shop only two blocks from my house, I became sorely<br />
tempted to expand the Rover collection. Every morning I drove<br />
by Hometown Auto, and every time I saw another beautiful<br />
Range Rover, Discovery, or even Walt's own Series truck, sitting<br />
out front clamoring for my attention, I envisioned myself in<br />
another Land Rover.<br />
A few weeks back, Walt called me and asked, "Want to buy<br />
a ’97 Range Rover?" It had been one he had owned, then sold<br />
and now bought back anew. It had sunk in fresh water and<br />
thus had some electrical issues, but it ran and Walt pronounced<br />
it “a good project for you." Just like the Series Rover so many<br />
years before, I couldn't resist the purchase. Besides, I reasoned,<br />
my wife could use it in the wintertime.<br />
I didn't move on it right away and over the next few weeks<br />
each morning I drove by I noted that parts would disappear<br />
off the truck and onto Walt's own Range Rover Classic, starting<br />
with the ARB bumper and Warn winch. No worries, I reckoned,<br />
I can replace those easily enough myself and it would likely<br />
reduce the asking price. A few days later it looked to be sitting<br />
very low and I wondered if perhaps Walt had swapped out the<br />
wheels and tires. Unable to wait any longer, cash traded hands<br />
and I took over title to the Range Rover. I made a plan<br />
to go pick it up.<br />
My nephew agreed to help so together we walked down to<br />
the shop and checked over the truck. Walt gave me a quick<br />
run down of the issues. As he rambled on about technical<br />
matters, I pictured myself driving the Range Rover over the<br />
slick rock of Moab to the applause of onlookers. In my reverie<br />
I might have missed a few critical details. Some of them will<br />
undoubtedly return to haunt me.<br />
I first confronted the problem of sorting out the air<br />
suspension; the car appeared to have none. We did have a<br />
4”x4” wooden post. We didn't have a saw. I did have a saw at<br />
my house but really didn't want to walk back home to get it,<br />
or walk home carrying an 8' long post. Walt offered for me to<br />
take his Discovery and go cut the board into 14" lengths. His<br />
Disco, the jacked up yellow off-road monster—yes! I drove this<br />
awesome vehicle gently, the entire time visualizing my Range<br />
Rover would look this cool upon completion. At home my<br />
nephew and I sawed up the post and headed back to<br />
Walt’s shop.<br />
A few minutes with the floor jack and the new wooden<br />
suspension sat in place. This will be a hard ride, I thought, even<br />
only going the few blocks between our roads. "It'll ride like<br />
butter," said my nephew. "Now," said Walt, "Go start the truck.<br />
Keep your foot on the brake. It’s in neutral right now. Steve<br />
will climb under the truck and shift it into drive." Wait, what?<br />
I think this was part of the technical details I missed while<br />
daydreaming during Walt’s presentation about the Range<br />
Rover. I vaguely remembered something about a shift interlock<br />
issue. I looked back at the truck instead, and again pictured<br />
my Rover and myself at Moab, with the roof rack packed<br />
with camping goodies.<br />
I climbed into the driver’s seat and turned the key.<br />
Nothing—no click, no lights, not a sound; I popped the hood<br />
and noticed a void. "I took the battery, too," Walt called from<br />
inside the garage. I walked inside the garage for a battery and<br />
a jump pack. We got that problem solved quickly and I sat in<br />
the driver’s seat again. This time I turned the key and it started<br />
right up. It sounded wonderful—my dreams started up, too.<br />
I kept my foot on the brake as Steve, Walt's assistant, climbed<br />
under the truck and clicked the transmission into gear. He<br />
climbed back out and gave me the thumbs up. I drove off, a<br />
little hesitantly at first, fearful that at the first bump everything<br />
would fall apart. I hit the first bump. Nothing fell apart.<br />
On the road it felt fine the first few feet. I even got a little<br />
cocky thinking it would be smooth sailing the entire half-mile<br />
home, until I hit a pothole. With no suspension travel to absorb<br />
the bumps I bounced up in my seat and hit my head on the<br />
roof. My nephew started to laugh hysterically until he hit his<br />
head on the door. We gave each other the stupid grin that said,<br />
"Ouch! That was cool.”<br />
We pulled slowly onto the grass at my house and hit one<br />
last big bump, the wooden 4”x4” suspension absorbing<br />
nothing. I turned off the truck, still in gear, and stood back.<br />
“Yes, she’s a little rough,” I thought, “but such potential,<br />
a good summer project for sure.” It’s time to get started on<br />
reviving this Range Rover.<br />

without exceeding factory suspension limits that would compromise its handling on-road. Powder coated silver finish, imported from England.<br />
Discovery II + 2 inch Heavy Duty Suspension Kit<br />
Includes 4 Terrafima + 2 inch All Terrain shocks and 4 + 2 inch springs. Designed<br />
for Discovery II’s with extra large tires and extra accessory weight.<br />

“By Land Rover out of Rover—the most versatile motor<br />
car in the world,” proclaimed the first sales brochure for<br />
the Range Rover in 1970. “The interfusing of Rover car<br />
comfort with Land-Rover strength and four-wheel drive<br />
mobility has resulted in a vehicle that is really four vehicles<br />
in one, and each one a master of its own particular field…<br />
the Range Rover is a very special kind of vehicle. Indeed, it<br />
heralds an entirely new age of travel, bringing exciting<br />
fresh prospects to motoring in the 1970’s and beyond.<br />
”In 1948, Rover had underestimated demand for its new<br />
product, the Land Rover, and orders flooded in as buyers<br />
waited months for their Series I. Rover used to promote<br />
the Land Rover as the “world’s most versatile vehicle,” a<br />
theme they reprised for the new Range Rover in 1970.<br />
Once again, demand overwhelmed supply as Rover, now<br />
a part of British Leyland, scrambled for funds to expand<br />
production.<br />
Just as enthusiasts have Maurice and Spencer Wilks to<br />
thank for leading the creation of the original Land Rover,<br />
Range Rover fans have their nephews, Peter King and<br />
Charles Spencer King, to thank for the leading the creation<br />
of the Range Rover. For a tradition bound car<br />
manufacturer, the Rover Company had surprised the<br />
automotive world with the forward-thinking Rover 2000<br />
and 3500 [P6 in the UK]. “Spen” King turned out to be a<br />
superb suspension engineer and he understood that coil<br />
springs, long suspension travel and permanent four-wheel<br />
drive could become the underpinnings of a vehicle that<br />
could go either 10 mph off-road or 100 mph on the<br />
highway. As Rover had accomplished with its 2000/3500<br />
model, the clean, crisp design created by Gordon Bashford,<br />
galvanized the world’s attention. A quick glance at the<br />
castle-ridged hood, the high beltline, the airy cabin, the<br />
exceptional driving position, and the elegant ruggedness<br />
of the lines, attracted potential buyers, many of them<br />
celebrities in the UK and beyond. The Range Rover wound<br />
up as part of an exhibit at The Louvre as “an exemplary<br />
work of industrial design.”<br />
The Range Rover electrified the automotive world of<br />
1970. Geof Miller, an engineer on the original design team<br />
for the Range Rover, told me a story of the early test drives<br />
with European sales managers. While taking the German<br />
importer on a road test trip in England, all Geof heard was<br />
the complaint that no one would pay this much money<br />
for a Land Rover! To convince the skeptical importer, the<br />
driver pointed the car towards a field and said, “Let's go<br />
36 / rovers magazine
overs magazine / 37
this way.” They careened into a rock strewn field and<br />
pounded the car through hills and dales. When they<br />
rejoined the paved road, the German asked only when they<br />
would be available for sale.<br />
Walk up to an early Range Rover and you’ll see a<br />
two-door only model with a shag carpet front interior and<br />
a cold black steel rear compartment behind the second row<br />
seats. Reinforcing its “comfort” factor were car-like<br />
controls and instrumentation that shared lots of<br />
components with other Rover and British Leyland vehicles.<br />
The box-section chassis followed the successful design of<br />
the Land Rover, but the 3.5 liter V-8, coil springs, disc<br />
brakes and a ride-leveler unit set this car apart from the<br />
Series III. Eager buyers in 1970 had to wait impatiently for<br />
Rover to sort out running problems with the car<br />
[cooling system, hot start issues] as well as production<br />
challenges such as establishing new assembly procedures<br />
for this new car.<br />
North America was certainly on Rover’s mind in 1970.<br />
The first sales brochure noted, “The working possibilities<br />
of the Range Rover are immense. Thus, although [in a<br />
catalogue] it is shown in United Kingdom settings, it is<br />
equally at home in some far-flung desert oil field, a ranch<br />
in Texas, a site in the frozen North, or anywhere in<br />
between.” North American vehicles such as the Ford<br />
Bronco, the Jeep Wagoneer and the International Scout<br />
demonstrated that a leisure market existed alongside the<br />
working vehicle market. It would take another 17 years for<br />
Land Rover to meet ROW demand and figure out a way to<br />
re-establish the brand in North America. By then the Range<br />
Rover had grown into a more luxurious 4-door off road<br />
and on road vehicle, our beloved Range Rover Classic.<br />
The 1970 Range Rover was aimed at “business and<br />
professional people with a leaning towards the great<br />
outdoors, who want a purpose-built vehicle instead of an<br />
adapted one, the real thing instead of a compromise.”<br />
It matters not which Range Rover model you own—<br />
celebrate by driving your Range Rover to new places this<br />
year and bring the champagne. Remember that you’re<br />
only 40 once!<br />
38 / rovers magazine
Charles Spencer King<br />
As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Range Rover,<br />
we also mourn the passing of its principal engineer, Charles<br />
Spencer King, at age 85. He died on June 26, in Coventry,<br />
England, the result of an accident while bicycling near his<br />
home in Cubbington.<br />
“Spen” King harkened back to a time when the Rover<br />
Company was known for its superior engineering.<br />
Stylists like Tom Bache and Gordon Bashford often felt<br />
that their efforts came as afterthoughts at the company.<br />
As demonstrated on Rover cars and on Land<br />
<strong>Rovers</strong>, thoughtful engineering created vehicles with<br />
unique qualities and character. It’s rare in the automotive<br />
world that one marque would have as many successful<br />
models as Land Rover has experienced—a testament to<br />
their engineering and marketing prowess.<br />
“Spen” King worked for Rolls Royce before his uncles,<br />
Maurice and Spencer Wilks, hired him to work for Rover<br />
in 1945. His expertise with gas turbine engines led to his<br />
1952 land speed record. As Rover underwent successive<br />
changes in corporate ownership, new parents such as<br />
British Leyland and Jaguar Rover Triumph would call upon<br />
King to help create new vehicles. Indeed, in the late 1960’s,<br />
as British Leyland begged for UK government support,<br />
King’s Range Rover would be singled out for support at a<br />
time of scarce financial resources. Spen King went on to<br />
help design the Rover 2000, the Rover SD 1, the Triumph<br />
Stag, TR-7 and TR-8. Common to all these cars was King’s<br />
appreciation of driving quickly, capably and comfortably;<br />
his suspension preferences also link them all.<br />
The Range Rover of 1970 set off a demand for the car<br />
unprecedented in the British auto industry. Production rose<br />
slowly—only a few hundred were produced in 1970—but<br />
the clean design, extraordinary capabilities and<br />
understated elegance appealed to landed gentry,<br />
Hollywood celebrities and royalty all over the world. A<br />
1981 photo shoot in Vogue launched an association of the<br />
car with fashion and enhanced the car’s status as an icon<br />
of design. Grey market imports brought a few into North<br />
America, but we would not see a new dealer network and<br />
official importation until 1987. In 1990, Land Rover<br />
honored King with a special 200-vehicle run “CSK” model.<br />
“Spen” King regretted that the Range Rover became “an<br />
acceptable alternative” to conventional luxury cars. “To<br />
use them for the school run, or even in towns or cities at<br />
all, is completely stupid. Sadly, the four-by-four has<br />
become an acceptable alternative for the pompous,<br />
self-important driver,” he said in a 2004 Daily Mail<br />
interview. It might have made King the engineer unhappy,<br />
but the financial side of Land Rover recognized that the<br />
Range Rover’s status and success likely saved Land Rover<br />
as a company.<br />
King wanted his creation to be the ideal vehicle for work<br />
and leisure; as noted in the first sales brochure, “The<br />
working possibilities of the Range Rover are immense…<br />
Add your leisure gear and personal luggage. There is no<br />
need to travel light to travel comfortably, swiftly and<br />
safely.” The first Range Rover accomplished this in 1970,<br />
just as the current Range Rover lineup meets these criteria<br />
in <strong>2010</strong>.<br />

Late last year my girlfriend Nereide and I yearned for a trip more<br />
adventuresome than driving through Europe. Before we met, Nereide<br />
had little interest in cars and no contact with Africa, either. Luckily,<br />
she was the adventurous sort, and the thought of seeing and getting<br />
to grips with some of the African continent really appealed to her.<br />
My 2004 L322 Range Rover provided the rest of the inspiration.<br />
It is a Td6 Vogue, a model unavailable in the States. The engine is a<br />
BMW-derived 3-litre, straight-six turbocharged diesel that produces<br />
about 180 horsepower and 300 pounds-feet of torque. Having owned<br />
the car for several years I had been thoroughly seduced by its long<br />
distance touring and off-road capabilities. Furthermore, it had been<br />
outstandingly reliable. Driving it through Africa seemed like the sort<br />
of challenge it needed…<br />
We sounded out various people on the idea. Friends thought we<br />
were mad (“Africa is dangerous!”) Land Rover forum contacts mostly<br />
said “don’t be daft, take a Defender Tdi or, heaven forbid, a Toyota<br />
Land Cruiser!” As a patriotic Brit born not far from Solihull, that<br />
suggestion was out of the question.<br />
Our own research suggested the trip would not stand up to rational<br />
analysis, given the many health risks, bureaucracy and paperwork,<br />
expense, shockingly poor roads and the risk of bandit attacks in<br />
Northern Sudan and Northern Kenya. Thus it would appear that ours<br />
might be the first attempt in an L322 at an overland drive the full<br />
length of Africa.<br />
We also found a 4,000 mile “black hole” of Land Rover service<br />
support extending from Cairo, Egypt, to Nairobi, Kenya. This added<br />
to the question of how one might actually fix a disabled Range Rover<br />
in that stretch, or anywhere on the continent. Unsurprisingly the rarity<br />
of the L322 in Africa means that few repair shops could cope with<br />
its potential complexity. Great.<br />
Nereide and I analyzed Africa weather patterns. If we left in early<br />
January, we could pass through the deserts of Northern Africa in<br />
winter, making the temperatures more bearable. More importantly, it<br />
would enable us to get though Northern Kenya before the annual<br />
rains started in March. If we arrived too late the 500km off-road<br />
section from the Ethiopian border to Mount Kenya might be<br />
impassable. This would strand us in Ethiopia with no alternatives; as<br />
it would happen, we had a very close brush with this eventuality.<br />
While Nereide sorted out the medical and provisioning for the trip,<br />
I focused on the Rangie. Online research demonstrated that not much<br />
goes wrong with the Td6, but I downloaded the workshop manuals<br />
[over 1,000 pages for service procedures alone] determined the kitting<br />
out of the car, and sent it to Nene Overland, near Peterborough, UK,<br />
for fitting.<br />
My twin goals were light weight and stock specification where<br />
possible. Preparations included changing engine, gearbox and<br />
differential oils plus all filters and carefully inspecting cooling, fuel<br />
and suspension systems. We replaced two worn bushes in the front<br />
suspension and fixed a leak in the air conditioning system. A mesh<br />
guard in front of the intercooler radiator rendered it less vulnerable<br />
to big stones. We also shielded the wiring harness for the front height<br />
sensors. Reluctantly, I decided not to install the G4-spec sump guard
[rare and expensive] and an air-intake snorkel [none<br />
manufactured for the L322].<br />
Our Hannibal roof rack carried a roof tent, awning, two<br />
20 litre diesel jerry cans and a second spare tire. Land Rover<br />
recommends as maximum roof weight of 50 kg, but we<br />
knew our load would amount to 200 kg. For spare parts,<br />
we took an alternator, airflow meter, two rear dampers,<br />
two service kits, drive belts and a whole host of bulbs,<br />
fuses, duct tape, coolant and lubricants. I invested in the<br />
brilliant Hawkeye handheld diagnostic tool, a full tool kit<br />
and the workshop manual downloaded onto my laptop.<br />
Somewhat dazed after all the Christmas and New Year<br />
celebrations, we left London with no little trepidation on<br />
2 January <strong>2010</strong>, after taking the obligatory photo next to<br />
Tower Bridge. Our five month adventure would span 19<br />
countries and nearly 18,000 miles, through France,<br />
Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and on<br />
into Egypt. Here we would cross into Sudan, then Ethiopia,<br />
Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana,<br />
Namibia and finally South Africa. We would also pop into<br />
the mountain kingdom of Lesotho.<br />
In January we cruised through Europe, grateful for the<br />
heated seats and climate control. Six days and 2,000 miles<br />
later, we became tourists in Istanbul. We spent a few days<br />
in this amazing city before continuing, crossing the vast,<br />
undulating and empty expanses of Turkey before reaching<br />
the Syrian border.<br />
We anticipated that border crossings would provide<br />
some major hassles and the Syrian border did not<br />
disappoint us. Hostile border guards, all commands in<br />
Arabic and the confiscation of my cell phone were just the<br />
beginning; after two hours of grinding through paperwork<br />
and handing over $100 in fuel taxes in a filthy,<br />
smoke-filled and featureless building, they handed back<br />
my cell phone and we proceeded on our way.<br />
Unlit, unmarked and largely sign-less roads, sharing road<br />
space with donkeys and carts; ancient trucks belching acrid<br />
fumes reminded us that we had entered the developing<br />
world. The last two hour drive into crumbling Damascus<br />
48 / rovers magazine
in the pitch black required super-human levels of<br />
concentration to stay on the road and avoid all the<br />
hazards—including drivers who thought that headlights<br />
were optional at night. The Range Rover’s xenon<br />
headlights proved very useful in these circumstances.<br />
Finding diesel fuel at all in the Arab countries was a<br />
headache as all cars appear to run on gasoline. I had no<br />
idea how the stock fuel system would respond to dirt,<br />
water and diesel thinned out with kerosene or paraffin.<br />
Additionally, the comfortingly familiar brand names of<br />
Exxon, Shell or BP were absent; we had no choice but to<br />
settle for the truck pumps at shabby, no-name filling<br />
stations and cross our fingers…<br />
In Jordan, we paused to experience Petra, justifiably one<br />
of the New Wonders of the World. Diplomatic pressures<br />
forced us to skip Israel [an Israeli passport stamp would prohibit<br />
entry into Muslim nations like Sudan] and pay an extortionate<br />
rate aboard a ferry from Aqaba to Nuweiba, Egypt—the<br />
one hour ride cost a ridiculous several hundred dollars.<br />
Arriving on the Sinai Peninsula, the spit of land between<br />
the Middle East and Africa, we subjected ourselves to yet<br />
another border crossing nightmare. Suffice it to say the<br />
‘process’ took three hours, cost many dollars and all we<br />
had to show for it at the end was a set of Arabic number<br />
plates duct-taped to the car.<br />
We pushed on to Cairo, driving through serious<br />
thunderstorms and rain en route. Luckily Goodyear MTRs<br />
don’t understand the meaning of the word ‘aquaplaning’<br />
and we drove on through weather that waylaid other<br />
vehicles. Crossing over the Suez Canal we picked up the<br />
main road to Cairo and once again had to do battle in the<br />
dark, avoiding trucks with no lights, some of which also<br />
drove on the wrong side of the road. With Nereide skilfully<br />
coping with navigation in Arabic, we made Cairo after 14<br />
days and 4,000 miles on the road.<br />
After a break to check out the famous Pyramids of Giza<br />
and secure our Sudanese visas, we started our journey up<br />
the Nile. The journey up this great river looked easy and<br />
we expected to get to Luxor, nearly 500miles from Cairo,<br />
in one long day.<br />
Wrong! The next three days gave us a sobering lesson<br />
in how difficult it can be to cover distance in Africa. Egypt<br />
largely comprises desert, apart from the land a couple of<br />
hundred yards either side of the Nile. Consequently the<br />
country’s entire population of 80 million operate here,<br />
growing fruit and vegetables and rearing livestock. We<br />
struggled to average 30mph. Donkeys and carts got in the<br />
way, suicidal van drivers tried to kill you, potholes and<br />
endless speed bumps made you fear for the suspension<br />
and we lost count of the number of police road blocks.<br />
Eventually, we made it to Luxor and the Valley of the<br />
Kings. Nereide, the Egyptologist on the team, revelled in<br />
it, but the experience was seriously marred by touts,<br />
hawkers, chancers and con-artists that tried to latch on to<br />

rovers magazine / 49
us wherever we went. Even buying a banana or taking a<br />
taxi involved protracted negotiation. Sad to say, but we<br />
happily drove out of Egypt.<br />
The only way to enter Sudan from Egypt is the ferry<br />
across Lake Nasser from Aswan to Wadi Halfa. This trip<br />
forms one of the great ‘adventures’ of driving through<br />
Africa. The ferry has the reputation of a cockroach infested<br />
hell-hole, a floating cess-pit, vastly overladen with<br />
Sudanese taking all manner of goods from Egypt to home.<br />
It lasts 18 hours and travel guides advise westerners to<br />
book one of the few cabins for the journey. We found<br />
none available so we elected to sit and try to sleep on<br />
body-strewn deck, under the shade of a lifeboat.<br />
After landing in Wadi Halfa we had to hang out in the<br />
town that the Bradt guide describes as “the end of the<br />
earth” for two days before the barge carrying the Range<br />
Rover meandered into the port. Our hotel room felt like a<br />
prison cell—no hot water or flush loos—but at least it cost<br />
$6 per night.<br />
Offloading the Rangie from the barge drove my heart<br />
into my mouth as it involved driving the car onto a<br />
floating pontoon, then onto the quay, neither of which<br />
was level or stable. Once on dry land we could see that<br />
the barge operator had damaged the paintwork on the<br />
passenger side due to inconsiderate stacking of cargo.<br />
I had a good rant at the captain which felt satisfying but<br />
achieved nothing.<br />
Immigration and customs in aggregate took about half<br />
a day, a process of truly jaw-dropping bureaucracy and<br />
stupidity, but then we were on our way. This time we were<br />
in convoy with a great bunch of Germans we had met on<br />
the ferry who drove, appropriately enough, two Land Rover<br />
Defenders. The journey through Northern Sudan was<br />
supposed to be one of the challenges, 200 miles of<br />
off-road straight through the desert but, to our<br />
astonishment, we travelled on a fresh tar road. The journey<br />
we anticipated would take three days took but three hours.<br />
Inevitably, it was the Chinese that had built the road.<br />
We found the Northern Sudanese to be extremely<br />
friendly and hospitable, but as we neared the capital,<br />
Khartoum, we felt a sense of unease creeping up on us.<br />
Sudan is a fundamentalist Islamic state and you feel it. As<br />
Westerners we felt watched at every end and turn and<br />
frankly, not very welcome. Finding Khartoum less than<br />
inspirational, we decided to press on, but not before given<br />
the Rangie its first attention. 5,500 miles into the journey<br />
I decided this was a good point for a precautionary air and<br />
fuel filter change—a remarkably easy job despite doing it<br />
in the baking heat in a side street.<br />
The rest of Sudan proved flat, hot, dusty and barren, so<br />
we happily crossed into Ethiopia. It resembled nothing like<br />
the Live Aid famine-and-hunger pictures still imprinted in<br />
our minds. It featured green, rolling hills, neat and<br />
tidy villages, wonderfully kind and friendly people.<br />
50 / rovers magazine
We revelled in the historic, almost European-looking town<br />
of Gonder, the breath-taking Simien mountains, the<br />
amazing Blue Nile Gorge—the list of attractions goes on<br />
and on.<br />
Ethiopia could be a great tourist destination, but it does<br />
lack infrastructure. The main road through the country<br />
proved satisfactory, albeit strewn with people, donkeys,<br />
cattle and goats. Get off this road and conditions<br />
deteriorate rapidly. There are simple hotels, but the food<br />
leaves a lot to be desired. On our way to the capital, Addis<br />
Ababa, we logged the highest point on the trip at 11,150<br />
feet above sea level. From here it was an undulating,<br />
down-hill run to the Kenyan border and another big<br />
challenge of the trip.<br />

he telephone call didn’t need to last very long,<br />
when a Rover enthusiast like Erik Dalton calls there<br />
is but one answer to the question at large. He was<br />
calling to see if I would be willing to put some<br />
important projects on the backburner here at T. Congleton<br />
<strong>Rovers</strong>. The expedition planned was going to require me<br />
to resume my role as field technician for another film<br />
shoot for Beyond the Lane, this new show will be<br />
showcasing some great Overland adventures.<br />
This segment would be an off-road expedition between<br />
Colorado and Utah following a historical Mormon Pioneer<br />
trail. All I had to do was make it through ten days in July<br />
in the desert. With the assurance that I’d be traveling in<br />
Land <strong>Rovers</strong> and that I would enjoy adequate sustenance,<br />
I leapt at Eric’s offer. After sorting out some last minute<br />
requirements, I took off on our Nations Birthday to play<br />
in the “real “mountains of the American West.<br />
The team would be assembling in the groovy little<br />
mountain town of Telluride, CO. The group is headed by<br />
Erik Dalton who owns the extremely well equipped local<br />
outdoor gear shop the Jagged Edge. I would need to<br />
swing in there for the rest of the kit I would need for my<br />
foray into the desert. Filmmaker Ben Clark was to be<br />
assisted by videographer Chris Dalton, Group still images<br />
were to be handled by photographer Ben Edmonson, ably<br />
assisted by his wife Beverly. Mark Murray of Land Rover<br />
Roaring Fork would be our master trail chef. Redoxx.com<br />
CEO Jim Markel was along to shoot images for his next<br />
rovers magazine / 53
website launch. Ben Clark runs a NAS Defender 110 4.0L<br />
automatic. Erik Dalton drove his ROW late model Defender<br />
110. Ben Edmondson took his LR3 and Mark Murray<br />
accompanied us in his Discovery II Trek. Paul May of<br />
Equipt1.com, as our local trail guide would drive his FJ<br />
100 Toyota Land Cruiser. The best (or worst) part of any<br />
experience is the people and thankfully we wouldn’t have<br />
to worry about that.<br />
The Beyond the Lane team sought to follow the<br />
Mormon trail with as much accuracy as possible today.<br />
We would be crossing the Colorado River by approaching<br />
first one route and then the other. The Colorado here has<br />
since been dammed to create Lake Powell thereby closing<br />
it to regular traffic. We would meet Paul at the lower Lake<br />
where he had set up camp earlier in the evening.<br />
We arrived at about 1 am in a very dark and sandy camp<br />
with an inky black mass of water bordering it. We settled<br />
in and then entertained ourselves for the rest of the night<br />
by listening to the roar of domestic turbo diesels as<br />
numerous intoxicated locals attempted to extricate their<br />
vehicles and trailers from the soft sand and lanes<br />
surrounding the lake. It was surreal to say the least.<br />
Approaching Lake Powell from the west took us on a 42<br />
mile road from Escalante, UT, following the historic<br />
Mormon trail. As the dirt road deteriorated steadily, we<br />
encountered washboard conditions that limited speed to<br />
15-20 mph. Obstacles—potholes, switch backs to cross dry<br />
river beds and the like—appeared quickly. The land felt<br />
inhospitable at best. Temperatures climbed to a 3 pm peak<br />
of 105-110 degrees fahrenheit. Our on the ground “feels<br />
like” temp was much more relevant and I put that<br />
significantly higher! Certainly the heat and hydration<br />
would be the most taxing elements of the trip.<br />
My first experience with a desert sun repair arrived with<br />
a broken sway bar link on Ben’s LR3. The road conditions<br />
had shattered the ball joint and allowed the drag link to<br />
wrap itself like a horseshoe around the A-arm of driver’s<br />
front suspension. A wise traveler brings shade to the desert,<br />
so we hastily erected awnings to shelter a makeshift work<br />
area. With help I removed the drag link efficiently in only<br />
10 minutes, working in the heat proved exhausting and<br />
disorienting. A test drive showed a tendency for the front<br />
end to “float” on the air springs—which now operated<br />
completely independent of each other. We needed the LR3<br />
to push on regardless, as it carried three members of our<br />
team and a lot of our provisions. Our current breakdown<br />
locale would not constitute an ideal recovery point, either.<br />
We faced 7-10 miles of very technical driving before we<br />
reached the cliff faces where the Mormons descended in<br />
their wagons. Average speed fell to 5 mph with the “slow<br />
as possible, fast as necessary” mantra fresh in everyone’s<br />
mind. No sooner did we compliment the reliability of the<br />
injured LR3—call sign “Loco”—that she collapsed her<br />
suspension completely on a curvy cutout section of the<br />
trail. With no diagnostic tools I took the only step possible,<br />
cutting the battery power to see if the soft suspension<br />
faults would clear themselves. We hid from the sun for 20<br />
minutes to cool down (relative) meanwhile the truck<br />
54 / rovers magazine
overs magazine / 55
slowly elevated itself and became drivable. Unfortunately<br />
our good fortune lasted only one mile when the<br />
suspension dropped again, this time to its bump stops.<br />
I made an effort to jack up the vehicle and insert firewood<br />
as a suspension spacer, but with no success; the LR3 was<br />
simply too heavy and it crushed any spacer we had<br />
available. With wheels (oversized) fully recessed into the<br />
wheel arches the LR3 would not move under its own<br />
power. We had little choice but to abandon the LR3 and<br />
arrange for a truck trailer from Salt Lake City to recover<br />
the Rover. Land Rover Roadside Assistance was less than<br />
interested in an off road recovery. We found their lack of<br />
enthusiasm, predictable. Unconcerned with traffic we<br />
made camp right there on the road and soaked in the vista.<br />
In the morning we repacked the provisions and people into<br />
the remaining vehicles and retreated to a box canyon with<br />
sheer cliffs.<br />
While exploring the Hole in the Rock we were hit by a<br />
massive weather event while the group was descending the<br />
trail down towards Lake Powell. Ben Clark waved and<br />
yelled at us from the cliff above. Why the commotion?<br />
Within a moment the wind kicked up from a dead calm to<br />
25 knots. The entire valley was funneling into the<br />
crevasse, sending sand and debris into the air and blasting<br />
lenses out of sunglasses. I scrambled to overtake the rest<br />
of the group and sprint to the trucks—many thousands of<br />
dollars in camera and video recording equipment sat in<br />
danger. I quickly rolled up all the windows in the three<br />
trucks—too little too late we would find out for two<br />
cameras. Ten minutes later the winds died out and we<br />
stood around for a shock and awe moment of respect to<br />
the unique desert environment.<br />
This would not be our only memorable weather event.<br />
While at another locale the weather changed from relative<br />
calm, to a quick sheet of rain generating mud droplets, to<br />
a veritable cyclone of rain, mud and sand whipping around<br />
our Etosha tent which covered the gear while we huddled<br />
in the 110. The storm left as soon as it came leaving<br />
any tent bags or miscellaneous trip gear covered in<br />
desert muck.<br />
56 / rovers magazine
A ferry took us all across Lake Powell where we found<br />
the approach to the Hole in the Rock Trail. We were<br />
constantly assaulted by the heat in our NAS 110. She was<br />
the only unnamed truck at that point- “Skillet” from there<br />
on. Twenty miles later the pavement ended abruptly and<br />
we started a scrub brush and sand track. We could climb<br />
the 4,000 foot mountain height at only 5-10 mph, but at<br />
least the altitude reduced the temperatures in vehicle and<br />
at our campsite.<br />
We should note here that the entire trail consisted of<br />
skirting numerous ridgelines and exploiting their breaks to<br />
work towards what is now Lake Powell. Clearly the original<br />
trailbreakers required tremendous scouting to establish a<br />
workable route. This route was not what you would call a<br />
trail. We were rattling away on the finest coil spring<br />
suspensions in the world (Land Rover Genuine!) over large<br />
rocks and ledges; the Mormons used wooden wheels and<br />
no suspension!<br />
Our first significant obstacle involved a ledge descent<br />
that culminated in an off camber forward weight shift,<br />
causing one wheel to lose ground contact. After a<br />
heart-stopping moment with the ROW 110, we elected to<br />
take a slightly different line for the rest of the vehicles and<br />
add riders to the high side of each truck as insurance. The<br />
two 110’s, the workhorses of the convoy, carried a lot of<br />
weight up high on their roofs. Each had a mild two inch<br />
lift, a roof tent and six full jerry cans, an obvious increase<br />
to center of gravity. We ran at what I judged to be the<br />
limit of off camber tolerances. The descent was a great<br />
example of having to take your time, evaluate conditions,<br />
drivers and vehicles, and act accordingly.<br />
Over the next few hours the drivers became one with<br />
their Land <strong>Rovers</strong>. I enjoyed watching the approach lines<br />
of the group improve as everyone gained confidence.<br />
We’ve all seen it happen. A Land Rover ambles up to a<br />
huge obstacle. Everyone present feels certain a spectacular<br />
accident will occur if the driver makes one bad move.<br />
Instead the Land Rover climbs over and beyond with a<br />
gentle flex of its muscles and perhaps a blip of<br />
throttle—so smoothly as to question the very existence of<br />
lesser vehicles. You begin to ask yourself, “Who would even<br />
consider a vehicle that can’t climb a five-foot boulder?”<br />
After meandering through the valley, the convoy<br />
approached a major hill that would provide the route we<br />
needed to reach the next plateau. A climb up a ledge face<br />
would start a half-mile drive across seven substantial<br />
obstacles. Erik Dalton and his manual shift ROW 110 would<br />
face the greatest challenge; the ROW 110 is supremely<br />
geared for all but the slowest crawling—which<br />
unfortunately had been our situation all day. This difficult<br />
terrain would make the 110 stall on slow descents and<br />
struggle to gain low-speed momentum on the ascents.<br />
Traction on the rock was almost too good—the 110 would<br />
stall while Erik carefully negotiated a punch. Erik took<br />
it all in stride—as is his nature—and did a supreme job as<br />
the hardest working driver of the group.<br />
“Skillet,” the 110, also has an inherent engine cooling<br />
problem, a result of the upgrade to the 4.0 configuration.<br />
Air conditioned 110’s utilize A/C fans to help reduce<br />
engine temps when needed; Skillets car lacked that critical<br />
electrical connection. Overheating will hastily ruin a Land<br />
rovers magazine / 57
Rover engine so we needed to find a solution or risk the<br />
danger of running the ridges at night. Given the desert<br />
weather I came up with a solution; we removed the bonnet<br />
and hid it on the side of a mountain beside a decaying<br />
cow carcass, hoping that would deter any theft.<br />
The increased airflow around the motor made all the<br />
difference. Even though the ‘cooling’ air was 115 or so, it<br />
was allowing much more circulation around the motor,<br />
and thus providing the desired effect.<br />
The next challenge came in the form of an 8-foot wide<br />
track, sided by a mountain face on the left and thousand<br />
foot drop-off on the right. Large boulders, intent on<br />
throwing me and the 110 off the mountain, littered the<br />
track. To top it off, the right side of the vehicle (blind to<br />
the driver) had to sit on the ledge itself to attack an off<br />
camber boulder. Even more unnerving, the right wheels<br />
seemed to run on loose gravel that fell into the valley like<br />
sand in an hourglass. I had visions of getting halfway<br />
through the obstacle, tire placement onto the sand,<br />
unforeseen difficulty or stalling causing me to linger<br />
longer than my predetermined comfort time of 1/10 of a<br />
second. The pressure would force the sand out and the<br />
axle would slide and sink over the ledge—taking the 110<br />
and myself on a final career ending fall...<br />
See you next time.<br />

You can kit out your Land Rover all<br />
you want, but once you start moving,<br />
everything depends on your tires. Of<br />
the many requests for advice that I<br />
receive the most common topic is<br />
tires. They have many responsibilities;<br />
they support the load, isolate the<br />
vehicle from road harshness and<br />
provide the necessary friction to<br />
control the vehicle. Of course they<br />
also contribute to the vehicle’s good<br />
looks! Size, tread, construction, load<br />
rating, speed rating, compound, price<br />
and availability are just a few of the<br />
many important to consider in<br />
tire selection. We should also think<br />
about how the tires affect<br />
vehicle performance. Some important<br />
questions include: Will the tire and<br />
wheel combo properly fit the vehicle?<br />
Can the engine and drive train turn<br />
the tire efficiently? Will the tires<br />
selected cause damage to the axle<br />
shafts, prop shafts, u-joints or CV’s?<br />
Manufacturers do their best to<br />
equip their vehicles with ‘optimal’<br />
tires. They spend millions of dollars<br />
designing and testing suspension and<br />
tires and the first thing we usually<br />
do—right out the door—is “upgrade”<br />
the suspension and change the<br />
tire-wheel combo. Changing the tires<br />
makes sense if you intend to spend<br />
more time on rough roads than<br />
60 /rovers magazine<br />
anticipated; original equipment tires<br />
are often a “P” (Passenger Car) rated<br />
tire fitted to a vehicle that you want<br />
to use as an “LT” (Light Truck). Given<br />
what we expect from our vehicles on<br />
our adventures through pothole-hell<br />
or traveling the Continental Divide in<br />
Wyoming, I suggest folks purchase an<br />
“LT” rated tire for their SUV. You can<br />
find your rating listed before the size.<br />
Ply<br />
In the beginning there was the rubber<br />
tree…. Well, before that we carved our<br />
tires out of stone, but doing the<br />
Flintstone gave us calloused feet<br />
which got old and so we found the<br />
rubber tree! In 1843, Charles<br />
Goodyear announced vulcanization,<br />
the chemical process that converts<br />
rubber and sulfur into the much more<br />
durable vulcanized rubber. Shortly<br />
after, in 1846, came the pneumatic<br />
tire; further advancements in the<br />
early 1900s included the addition of<br />
tread patterns and the incorporation<br />
of reinforcing materials. Today metal,<br />
nylon, Kevlar and other high tech<br />
fibers are molded in the rubber<br />
greatly improving all performance<br />
characteristics. Ply refers to the<br />
pattern and direction in which the<br />
reinforcing materials are added to<br />
the rubber.<br />
Bias-Ply tires have fabric laid +60 to<br />
-60 degrees from the direction of<br />
travel. Bias-ply tires have strong<br />
sidewalls, perfect for trailer tires, the<br />
most common application of bias-ply<br />
these days. However, true off-road<br />
tires can benefit from bias-ply as they<br />
flex well when aired down, allowing<br />
the tread and sidewalls to increase<br />
traction. Compared to radials, the<br />
crossing fibers of bias-ply are<br />
inefficient, wear badly on the<br />
highway, are hard to balance and<br />
tend to be heavier. Great off-road and<br />
crappy on-road!<br />
Bias-Belted tires combined<br />
bias-ply carcass with ‘belts’ made of<br />
fiberglass or steel wrapped around the<br />
circumference. The belts increase<br />
stiffness, resulting in improved<br />
handling characteristics. This<br />
construction is usually best for heavy<br />
trucks since it takes some weight to<br />
actually get the tire to work best.<br />
Radial-Ply tires have fabric laid<br />
perpendicular to travel (bead to bead)<br />
reducing wear and friction. Modern<br />
radials are layered with polyester,<br />
nylon, Kevlar, some other fancy<br />
modern cloth (or likely a<br />
combination) and some steel. Often a<br />
second set of steel “belts” that run<br />
parallel to rotation are added to<br />
stiffen the tire. The great handling,
long life and solid strength of radial-ply makes it the tire construction of choice for the<br />
majority of vehicles today.<br />
Most quality tires designed for our use are radial construction with 4 or 5 tread<br />
plies and 3 sidewall plies. This is a generalization as the are lots of specialty tires for<br />
off-roading like the Swampers, Gumbo Mudders and the like for their trail rigs and<br />
some of our friends will still run the Michelin ZM+S 244 Radial. Read the sidewall<br />
information up close to be fully aware of the tire nomenclature before you buy<br />
a tire.<br />
Tread compounds are important since some tread will last longer<br />
(harder); others will be stickier (softer) and give better snow/ice traction.<br />
Some snow tires are formulated to really bite the snow but you best not<br />
run them during the heat of the summer. The BFG Moab edition tire<br />
uses BFG’s proprietary “micro-links” which really grip (just like a<br />
climbing shoe). Since it is softer tread compound, will wear a lot faster<br />
than the standard KM2, but for the rock crawlers among us it is<br />
worth it!<br />
Tires have several ratings based on the government requirements<br />
for consumer safety and tire identity. On the sidewall of the tire are<br />
many numbers and letters that tell us what we are getting into.<br />
Sizing: Two of the more common ways to ‘size’ a tire is the<br />
“P” metric (LT metric included) and “Flotation” sizing. A third<br />
but older sizing is called the “Alpha-numeric” style that some<br />
of us ‘old-guys’ still remember. The alpha-numeric style was<br />
mostly related to 15” wheels or smaller. The metric rating came<br />
about with the bigger wheels due to larger brakes, heavy loads<br />
and higher speeds generally in the early ‘80s. Here’s an<br />
example of current tire sizing:<br />
P265/70R17 – LT265/75R16 – 9.50R16.5LT –<br />
N78-15 – 31z10.50R15LT<br />
Other than construction style—light truck versus<br />
passenger, radial versus bias, the above size tires are all<br />
pretty much the same size.<br />
With all tires, my biggest tire concern while driving<br />
on or off highway is contact patch or footprint size.<br />
This plays a big role in how well the tires connect to<br />
the road surface. Contact patch is relative to contact<br />
pressure in that vehicle weight relative to the inflation<br />
pressure will dictate how much tire is actually<br />
touching the ground. Contact pressure is increased by<br />
decreasing air pressure or increasing vehicle weight.<br />
For example, given the same tires at the same<br />
pressure, an “up-armored” Defender 130 will have<br />
significantly more contact pressure than a Series 1<br />
“trailer”. The additional weight of the 130 will<br />
squash the tire more giving it more grip. Of the many<br />
tire characteristics, contact patch (footprint) and<br />
contact pressure are the ones we can adjust easiest<br />
simply by playing with the inflation pressure and the<br />
weight of the vehicle—or contents.<br />

A big box from <strong>Rovers</strong> North washed<br />
ashore onto this island. Inside the box I<br />
found the Sightings for this issue, as<br />
many and as varied as ever. The impact<br />
and appeal of Land <strong>Rovers</strong> in our<br />
popular culture has been affirmed<br />
once again.<br />
When you launch a new product, why<br />
not surround the product with the<br />
glow of a 109” Series III Land<br />
Rover? Colgate did just that when<br />
it launched the Wisp, a new<br />
toothbrush. Todd Miller, Fairburn,<br />
GA, Gary Hatch, Lancaster,<br />
OH, Gene Lytle, Boulder<br />
Creek, CA, and Clint Rankin,<br />
Madison, AL, noticed [note to<br />
Jonathan Speed March, Dean Minner,<br />
Walt Brown, and Deanna<br />
Balzer, see Rule #6]. Kiawah<br />
Island Legends magazine<br />
knows that lovely models,<br />
such as a female, a Defender<br />
and a Discovery, can make<br />
any sandy beach look special.<br />
Stephen Johnson, John’s<br />
Island, SC, read the magazine<br />
with care.<br />
Catalogue editors can’t<br />
get enough of Land <strong>Rovers</strong>.<br />
Ralph Lauren Polo featured<br />
a Series II-A soft top<br />
in their catalogue and<br />
online, notes Theodore<br />
Casareo, Jersey City,<br />
NJ, Dave Johnson,<br />
Rochester, NY, and Mike<br />
Dodge, Gig Harbor, WA.<br />
Rich Williams, Port<br />
Gable, WA, is quite<br />
certain that the interior<br />
of a Series Rover is<br />
included in the Blundstone Boots<br />
catalogue. Boden continues its use of a<br />
Series Rover to its <strong>2010</strong> catalogue, noted<br />
Steve Varga [See Rule #6] and Gillian<br />
Sullivan, San Diego, CA. J.L. Powell<br />
does the same with its latest catalogue,<br />
notes James Lyles, Bronx, NY and<br />
Stephen Johnson, John’s Island, SC.<br />
