letters to <strong>the</strong> editorDear <strong>Rover</strong>s <strong>North</strong>,Let me say how good it was to see your ad in <strong>the</strong> last <strong>Rover</strong>s<strong>North</strong> News on your Fleet Systems.

Of course, as you wouldexpect, <strong>the</strong> light would not work, but <strong>at</strong> least we could say ithad a light.Eric StephensNorman, OKGood idea, Eric.

I have a 1999 Discovery Series II th<strong>at</strong> has given meminimal trouble <strong>the</strong> past 10 years of ownership; <strong>the</strong> few partsand upgrades have come from <strong>Rover</strong>s <strong>North</strong>. The prices aremuch cheaper than <strong>the</strong> dealership and I usually have <strong>the</strong> partwith a few days, despite being here in Cali<strong>for</strong>nia.

text by Alexandra Sailerphotos by Sailer Images (Steffen and Alexandra Sailer)Steffen and Alexandra Sailer, Metzingen, Germany, travel around<strong>the</strong> world as n<strong>at</strong>ure photographers. They share <strong>the</strong> first legs of <strong>the</strong>irtravels in this article –ed.rovers magazine / 6


When we knew we needed to travel <strong>for</strong> work, we sought out <strong>the</strong> bestvehicle. Our car needed to be very capable off road, small enough tofit into a 20 ft. standard shipping container, but big enough <strong>for</strong> ourdriving and sleeping com<strong>for</strong>t. While <strong>the</strong> Toyota <strong>Land</strong> Cruiser HZJ fitour requirements, EU regul<strong>at</strong>ions kept it out of <strong>the</strong> German market.So, nine years ago, we purchased our <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> Defender.rovers magazine / 7


overs magazine / 8


For our expedition travel we kitted out <strong>the</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>to meet our needs. Removing <strong>the</strong> back se<strong>at</strong>s and se<strong>at</strong>belts, we constructed a sturdy bed and storage boxes andmounted <strong>the</strong>m just behind <strong>the</strong> front se<strong>at</strong>s. We <strong>the</strong>n addedan Engel fridge between <strong>the</strong> front se<strong>at</strong>s and bought apop-up roof tent (Columbus by AUTOHOME), which couldbe accessed from <strong>the</strong> rear through a fix mounted ladder.A most valuable addition was an effective and efficientEberspächer interior furnace, which allows us to warm up<strong>the</strong> interior very quickly, even <strong>at</strong> temper<strong>at</strong>ures of 0 degreesF. Steffen designed a sturdy aluminium roof rack, mountedon separ<strong>at</strong>e beams, to go in front of <strong>the</strong> roof tent.After some shakedown trips through Europe, Steffenadded a w<strong>at</strong>er system including a 12 gallon fresh w<strong>at</strong>er tank,an electronic pump and a small sink. He designed a solarpower system to charge <strong>the</strong> b<strong>at</strong>teries which would make usmore independent from outside power sources. He mounteda very thin, flexible solar panel of 55 w<strong>at</strong>ts on top of <strong>the</strong>roof tent. A control panel inside <strong>the</strong> car tells <strong>the</strong> currentvoltage and charging power.Additionally, we added an extra 12 gallon fuel tank toextend our range to 600 miles per 32 gallon fill-up. To getus out of difficult situ<strong>at</strong>ions we mounted a powerful WARNwinch. Last but not least, we added a small port-a-potty tocomplete our mobile home.In 2004, we asked ourselves: ‘Isn’t <strong>the</strong>re anything wecould do with it besides travelling though Europe only?’The idea of a world trip, one in which we would see andphotograph <strong>the</strong> world, especially given so many thre<strong>at</strong>enedhabit<strong>at</strong>s, rose as our focus. But where would we go and <strong>for</strong>how long? We had travelled extensively in Europe; while wefound Africa awesome, we knew we had to broaden ourreach. Asia never interested us much—and so it was <strong>the</strong> restof <strong>the</strong> world. We decided to go <strong>for</strong> one year to New Zealandand Australia with a side trip to Sum<strong>at</strong>ra/Indonesia. Year 2would find us <strong>North</strong> America, and Year 3 would be spent inSouth America.After much budgetary calcul<strong>at</strong>ion and logisticalplanning, we set January 8, 2008, as our departure d<strong>at</strong>e. Wemade our good-byes to family and previous employers,closed up our everyday lives and plunged into <strong>the</strong> throes ofcarnets, auto insurance, seaborne shipping containers andvisa regul<strong>at</strong>ions. We swapped out our rooftop tent <strong>for</strong> aVAUDE van tent, one we could leave <strong>at</strong> a campsite.To reduce swaying under load, we installed Koni heavy dutyshocks and OME heavy duty springs. We added a portablesolar panel <strong>for</strong> extra charging and two new, deepcycle b<strong>at</strong>teries.New Zealand, our first stop, has strict quarantinerestrictions, so we had to clean <strong>the</strong> car thoroughly. Withtoothbrush and polishing rag (no joke) we scrubbed andcleaned our Defender. Then we made <strong>the</strong> 500 mile trip fromGermany to Bremerhaven, thankfully without rain and mudspl<strong>at</strong>tered on <strong>the</strong> car. We delivered our precious <strong>Land</strong>y inrovers magazine / 9


Bremerhaven with tears in our eyes. I don’t know why it isth<strong>at</strong> most Defender owners get so <strong>at</strong>tached to <strong>the</strong>ir ‘baby.’Perhaps it is because <strong>the</strong> Defender needs more care torun smoothly, almost like a child, or perhaps it is itsimperfections th<strong>at</strong> speak to us. Yes, I think th<strong>at</strong>’s it! The caris not an autom<strong>at</strong>ed machine but has character and th<strong>at</strong>’swhy we identify ourselves with it. When we started <strong>the</strong> trip,<strong>the</strong> Defender was 7-years-old and had about 80,000 mileson <strong>the</strong> odometer.On <strong>the</strong> road in New ZealandWe met our <strong>Rover</strong> in Tauranga, on New Zealand’s <strong>North</strong> Island,in January, 2008. When we got to Customs we had tocope with a problem we didn’t expect: we couldn’t understanda thing <strong>the</strong>y said! After all, <strong>the</strong>y speak English in NewZealand, right? Well, seemed like we had to get used to <strong>the</strong>strange slang over <strong>the</strong>re. Customs and quarantine proceduresare supposed to be quite complic<strong>at</strong>ed, but it took us onlyone day because <strong>the</strong> quarantine officer couldn’t find a singlespeck of dirt. All hail German thoroughness! By <strong>the</strong> eveningwe had <strong>the</strong> <strong>Land</strong>y checked, road tested and registered as anOverseas Visitor’s Vehicle, and we could hit <strong>the</strong> road.Reviewing our plans <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> three month stay in NewZealand, we decided to head to <strong>the</strong> more rugged and wildSouth Island. There, on some beaches in <strong>the</strong> C<strong>at</strong>lins area on<strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rnmost tip of <strong>the</strong> South Island, yellow-eyedpenguins, common in New Zealand but <strong>the</strong> rarest penguinsin <strong>the</strong> world, breed during <strong>the</strong> summer.From Tauranga on <strong>the</strong> <strong>North</strong> Island we drove along <strong>the</strong>east coast. In Wellington we boarded <strong>the</strong> ferry to <strong>the</strong> SouthIsland and continued down <strong>the</strong> South Island’s east coast.During our first days of driving, we saw c<strong>at</strong>tle farms, deerfarms, sheep farms and fruit plant<strong>at</strong>ions—no awesomerain<strong>for</strong>est, no secluded beaches. When we came in <strong>the</strong>vicinity of Kaikoura, a little town famous <strong>for</strong> its world-classwhale w<strong>at</strong>ching, <strong>the</strong> landscape changed to a ruggedcoastline, full of fur seals. Finally we could put our photoequipment to use!Fur<strong>the</strong>r south we passed <strong>the</strong> famous Moeraki Boulders,strangely p<strong>at</strong>terned circular-shaped boulders which remindone of dinosaur eggs lying in <strong>the</strong> surf of <strong>the</strong> incoming tide.We <strong>the</strong>n travelled to <strong>the</strong> Otago Peninsula, which teems withwildlife: Yellow-eyed Penguins, Fairy (Little Blue) Penguins,fur seals, sea lions and <strong>the</strong> world’s only mainland breedingcolony of <strong>the</strong> Royal Alb<strong>at</strong>ross. Tunnel Beach, one of <strong>the</strong>prettiest beaches we’ve ever seen, is accessible only througha tunnel in <strong>the</strong> cliffs.Continuing south we reach <strong>the</strong> C<strong>at</strong>lins, a ragged andquite remote area superb <strong>for</strong> wildlife viewing. To get shotsof <strong>the</strong> endemic and very thre<strong>at</strong>ened Hectors Dolphins,Steffen donned his wetsuit, geared up our underw<strong>at</strong>erhousing, and went to snorkel with <strong>the</strong>m. Since <strong>the</strong>y are verycurious, one of <strong>the</strong> dolphins came up to 2 feet towardsSteffen to inspect him—a very exciting experience. We couldAbove top to bottom: Camp - Yellow-eyed Penguin - Royal Alb<strong>at</strong>rossOpposite top to bottom: Moeraki Boulders - Tunnel Beachrovers magazine / 10


also photograph Yellow-eyed Penguins while <strong>the</strong>y werecoming ashore to feed <strong>the</strong>ir young hidden in <strong>the</strong> coastalveget<strong>at</strong>ion. On ano<strong>the</strong>r beach, we could get close up withHookers Sea Lions. This area doesn’t only offer awesomewildlife viewing—it also has p<strong>at</strong>ches of preservedrain<strong>for</strong>ests with beautiful w<strong>at</strong>erfalls, an amazingly ruggedcoastline, and <strong>the</strong> famous Nugget Point and Nugget PointLighthouse.Less than a month into our trip we experienced ourfirst problem with our Defender. While driving, <strong>the</strong> enginelost power and <strong>the</strong> whole car shook while underway.Luckily, Invercargill, had a local <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> dealer.The savvy technician found th<strong>at</strong> oil s<strong>at</strong>ur<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>the</strong> wiringwhich connects <strong>the</strong> fuel injectors to <strong>the</strong> ECU, a knownissue with <strong>the</strong> TD5 engine. Solving <strong>the</strong> problem wouldrequire a new harness; none were available in New Zealandand Australia. So we left <strong>the</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> with <strong>the</strong> dealer <strong>for</strong> afew days and continued our travels.Fjordland N<strong>at</strong>ional Park with its most famouslandmark, Mil<strong>for</strong>d Sound and Mitre Peak, greeted us withsunny warm we<strong>at</strong>her. We hiked along rushing mountainstreams, through an impressive lush rain<strong>for</strong>est and cameface to face with keas, <strong>the</strong> only mountain parrots in <strong>the</strong>world. These very funny and curious parrots have no fearin <strong>the</strong> least of humans; in fact, <strong>the</strong>y’re very cheekyand love to chew on car wipers, antennas or any kind ofrubber seals.We <strong>the</strong>n went on towards Queenstown, <strong>the</strong> adrenalinecapital of <strong>the</strong> world, famous <strong>for</strong> its adventure tourism(bungie jumping, speed bo<strong>at</strong>ing, river surfing), and <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>loc<strong>at</strong>ion filming of Lord of <strong>the</strong> Rings. The scenery aroundLake Wak<strong>at</strong>ipu and <strong>the</strong> Kawarau River dazzled us, asdid Mount Cook N<strong>at</strong>ional Park, homes of New Zealand’shighest mountain. Finally we returned to our repaired<strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>; we really missed its 122 hp!The following days, we travelled up <strong>the</strong> mostly-wildWest Coast, with its protected coastal scenery andrain<strong>for</strong>est. We saw high mountains, glaciers, mirror lakes,beautiful beaches and stunning rock <strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ions, like <strong>the</strong>Pancake Rocks or Moria G<strong>at</strong>e Arch, which is loc<strong>at</strong>ed withina lush rain<strong>for</strong>est.rovers magazine / 11


By <strong>the</strong> end of February, we reached <strong>the</strong> very charmingMarlborough Sound region on <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rn end of <strong>the</strong>South Island. After 1 ½ months on <strong>the</strong> South Island, weboarded <strong>the</strong> ferry once again and made our way towards<strong>the</strong> <strong>North</strong> Island. Unlike its sou<strong>the</strong>rn counterpart, <strong>the</strong><strong>North</strong> Island has a higher popul<strong>at</strong>ion density and far fewercamping possibilities. Still, we made our way up fromWellington, through <strong>the</strong> Hutt River area (ano<strong>the</strong>r filmingloc<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>for</strong> Lord of <strong>the</strong> Rings known as Rivendell) to acity near Taranaki N<strong>at</strong>ional Park.While enjoying internet access, we checked our bankaccounts online and discovered every traveller’s nightmare.A hacker had stolen our credit card in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion and runup substantial charges on our card. With an 11 hour timedifference, it took some harrowing convers<strong>at</strong>ions to remove<strong>the</strong> charges and clear up our account. Our bank handled<strong>the</strong> case very professionally and returned <strong>the</strong> debitedmoney within a week. After this experience, however, weuse our credit cards very rarely.Above, clockwise from top left: Hectors Dolphins - Hookers Sea Lions - Mil<strong>for</strong>d Sound -C<strong>at</strong>hedral Cove. Opposite, clockwise from top left: Kiwi - C<strong>at</strong>hedral Cove - Steffen fishing- Steffen and Alexandra Sailer.rovers magazine / 12Our <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> eased our worries as we visited MountTaranaki, a perfectly conical shaped volcano and l<strong>at</strong>eron Tongariro N<strong>at</strong>ional Park, <strong>the</strong> home of three o<strong>the</strong>rvolcanoes. We finally reached <strong>the</strong> geo<strong>the</strong>rmal areas aroundRotorua, one of New Zealand’s most famous sites.From <strong>the</strong> west we crossed nor<strong>the</strong>ast to <strong>the</strong> CoromandelPeninsula. Coromandel consists of stunning beaches,C<strong>at</strong>hedral Cove being <strong>the</strong> most beautiful one, andrain<strong>for</strong>est with a few saved Kauri trees. We decided tocamp a few days and enjoy <strong>the</strong> nice sunny we<strong>at</strong>her whileb<strong>at</strong>hing, fishing and snorkelling. It was heavenly nice andquiet—until <strong>the</strong> Easter weekend. Suddenly, <strong>the</strong> placeswarmed with New Zealanders enjoying <strong>the</strong> last warmweekend of <strong>the</strong>ir fall. Everyone brought <strong>the</strong>ir family,camper or tent, and of course, <strong>the</strong>ir bo<strong>at</strong>. There’s no suchthing as a New Zealander who doesn’t own a bo<strong>at</strong> andenjoy fishing.The crowds drove us out, so we headed towards <strong>the</strong>west coast again. We visited several tiny p<strong>at</strong>ches ofprotected Kauri <strong>for</strong>est, among it <strong>the</strong> Trounson Forest Park.Here, we went to search <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> very unique looking butthre<strong>at</strong>ened Kiwi, a flightless bird only found in NewZealand. Since Kiwis are nocturnal we had to walk <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>est’strails with torches and listen very carefully <strong>for</strong>telltale signs. It took two days but we lucked out andphotographed one digging in <strong>the</strong> earth with its long andnarrow beak.


Fur<strong>the</strong>r north we came across <strong>the</strong> Waipoua ForestPark, home of <strong>the</strong> last giant Kauri trees. Here we saw <strong>the</strong>sad history of <strong>the</strong> destructive logging activities, initi<strong>at</strong>edby European merchants who early on saw <strong>the</strong> commercialvalue of <strong>the</strong> heavy and straight growing trunks. Kauri oncecovered 1.6 million hectares (4 million acres) in <strong>the</strong>nor<strong>the</strong>rn half of <strong>the</strong> <strong>North</strong> Island, extending as far southas Raglan on <strong>the</strong> west coast, and just past Tauranga on<strong>the</strong> east coast. After rampant destruction of Kauri <strong>for</strong>estsfrom logging, fire, and clearing <strong>for</strong> pastural grazing, <strong>the</strong>area had shrunk to a mere 7,000 hectares (18,000 acres).As an immedi<strong>at</strong>e consequence of <strong>the</strong> loss of <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>ests,<strong>the</strong> Kiwi is thre<strong>at</strong>ened to near extinction. ‘Tane Mahuta’(Lord of <strong>the</strong> Forest), a tree estim<strong>at</strong>ed to be between 1,250–2,500-years-old, stands 168 ft. tall with a girth of 45 ft.Travelling to New Zealand’s nor<strong>the</strong>rnmost tip, weheaded to Cape Reinga, and <strong>the</strong>n sou<strong>the</strong>ast again along<strong>the</strong> coast until we reached <strong>the</strong> Auckland area. We <strong>the</strong>nwent back to <strong>the</strong> east coast to look <strong>at</strong> a colony ofAustralasian gannets in Muriwai Regional Park. The parkis also very popular with surfers who try to ride <strong>the</strong> perfectwave. By <strong>the</strong> middle of April, we finally got to Aucklandto prepare <strong>the</strong> <strong>Land</strong>y <strong>for</strong> shipment to Melbourne, Australia.Since Australia has even tighter quarantine restrictions, wespent a week cleaning <strong>the</strong> car. Customs will not accepteven a single speck of dirt in <strong>the</strong> wheel arches orunderbody.The evening be<strong>for</strong>e we had to deliver <strong>the</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong><strong>for</strong> packing, we noticed a strange decaying odour, butcouldn’t place it. We examined <strong>the</strong> <strong>Land</strong>y thoroughly andfinally found <strong>the</strong> cause—a dead songbird trapped between<strong>the</strong> front bumper and <strong>the</strong> winch, with an entire armada ofmaggots happily feeding away. We couldn’t believe oureyes: th<strong>at</strong> really was <strong>the</strong> worst th<strong>at</strong> could happen.Insects and probably also eggs are one of <strong>the</strong> things <strong>the</strong>authorities are <strong>the</strong> most afraid off! We steam cleaned <strong>the</strong><strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> again <strong>the</strong> next morning. Wh<strong>at</strong> if we missedsome eggs? Wh<strong>at</strong> if <strong>the</strong> quarantine officials opened <strong>the</strong>container and witnessed a swarm of flies? We didn’t wantto think about th<strong>at</strong> and said a sad goodbye to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Land</strong><strong>Rover</strong>. See you again in Australia, m<strong>at</strong>e!For more of Steffen and Alexandra’s photos and travels visitwww.n<strong>at</strong>ure-expeditions.comwww.sailer-images.comwww.n<strong>at</strong>ure-expeditions.comrovers magazine / 13

Keepingyourcooltext: Bill Davisphoto: Jeff AronsonBill Davis runs Gre<strong>at</strong> Basin <strong>Rover</strong>s, SaltLake City, UT, and offers this advice <strong>for</strong>Series <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s—useful in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion<strong>for</strong> all <strong>Rover</strong>s –ed.The radi<strong>at</strong>or of any vehicle ismerely a he<strong>at</strong> exchanger, dissip<strong>at</strong>ingexcess he<strong>at</strong> from <strong>the</strong> engine, which isabsorbed by <strong>the</strong> coolant into <strong>the</strong>ambient air. Cre<strong>at</strong>ing air flow through<strong>the</strong> radi<strong>at</strong>or improves <strong>the</strong> efficiency.Many people incorrectly think it is afunction of <strong>the</strong> cooling fan to cre<strong>at</strong>ethis air flow. They do not realize th<strong>at</strong>this process is primarily accomplishedby <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>ward movement of <strong>the</strong>vehicle, which <strong>for</strong>ces air through <strong>the</strong>radi<strong>at</strong>or cooling fins. The coolingfan's only function is to cre<strong>at</strong>e airmovement through <strong>the</strong> radi<strong>at</strong>or when<strong>the</strong> vehicle is st<strong>at</strong>ionary, in reverse, ortraveling <strong>at</strong> a very low speed,such as negoti<strong>at</strong>ing very difficultoff-road terrain.The function of <strong>the</strong> shroud is toincrease <strong>the</strong> efficiency of <strong>the</strong> coolingfan under <strong>the</strong>se conditions. It doesthis by cre<strong>at</strong>ing a low pressure areabehind <strong>the</strong> radi<strong>at</strong>or, thus <strong>for</strong>cing <strong>the</strong>utiliz<strong>at</strong>ion all of <strong>the</strong> cooling fins andincreasing air velocity—dram<strong>at</strong>icallyincreasing <strong>the</strong> radi<strong>at</strong>ors efficiencyunder <strong>the</strong>se demanding conditions.Lacking a shroud, <strong>the</strong> cooling fancre<strong>at</strong>es turbulence, not uni<strong>for</strong>mair movement. It is commonlyaccepted by knowledgeable automotiveengineers th<strong>at</strong> a radi<strong>at</strong>or shroudincreases <strong>the</strong> efficiency of a radi<strong>at</strong>orby <strong>at</strong> least 30% under <strong>the</strong>seconditions.We are convinced th<strong>at</strong> manypeople do not realize this, consideringhow many <strong>Rover</strong>s we have seen over<strong>the</strong> years with radi<strong>at</strong>or shroudscompletely missing. We believe this is<strong>for</strong> two reasons. First, <strong>the</strong> properservice procedure when doingradi<strong>at</strong>or, w<strong>at</strong>er pump or timing chainrepairs is to remove <strong>the</strong> entire radi<strong>at</strong>orsupport, radi<strong>at</strong>or and shroud as aunit. When replacing it, youshould reverse this and reinstall <strong>the</strong>mas a unit.If you <strong>for</strong>get to or choose toreplace <strong>the</strong>m individually, youeventually find out th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> shroudcannot be easily reinstalled. Youmight even say impossible. Lacking<strong>the</strong> understanding how criticallyimportant a radi<strong>at</strong>or shroud is, manypeople leave <strong>the</strong> shroud off thinkingit is non-essential sheet metal trim—not realizing its critical importance<strong>for</strong> cooling system efficiency. L<strong>at</strong>erwhen <strong>the</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> is experiencingoverhe<strong>at</strong>ing problems, people startinstalling electric fans and o<strong>the</strong>rsuch machin<strong>at</strong>ions in <strong>at</strong>temptsto solve this.An original Series <strong>Rover</strong> coolingsystem is a very well designed,integr<strong>at</strong>ed system th<strong>at</strong> has plenty ofexcess capacity. If you are experiencingchronic cooling problems, onething th<strong>at</strong> should be checked is if aradi<strong>at</strong>or shroud is on <strong>the</strong> vehicle.These components have been NLA <strong>for</strong>several years, but <strong>Rover</strong>s <strong>North</strong> hasreproduced <strong>the</strong>m. If it is missing, oneshould immedi<strong>at</strong>ely be purchased andinstalled.Radi<strong>at</strong>or Fan Shroud2.25 litre petrol 1955-1983Metal Fan ShroudPLE447 $ 149.50Metal Cowl <strong>for</strong> Fan ShroudPLC359 $56.00Steady Strip <strong>for</strong> CowlPLB366 $12.50Radi<strong>at</strong>or Shroud KitPLK159 $199.00PLC359PLE447PLB366rovers magazine / 17

text: Jeffrey B. AronsonIt’s every enthusiast’s dream and nightmare rolled into one.The newly-revived Downeast <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> Club put out acall in l<strong>at</strong>e January <strong>for</strong> a shop day, a chance to have your<strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> poked and prodded by strangers who claim toknow wh<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong>y’re doing. Admit it, it’s hugely entertainingto work on someone else’s <strong>Rover</strong>, and equally frighteningto w<strong>at</strong>ch your <strong>Rover</strong> pawed over by strangers.Mind you, <strong>the</strong> shop day did <strong>at</strong>tract genuineprofessionals to Walter Elwell’s three bay garage in ruralLincolnville, ME. You saw quickly th<strong>at</strong> Walter had realskills—<strong>the</strong> fiberglass shell of a Daimler SP-250 occupiedone bay; <strong>the</strong> burnished shell of a VW Kombi Double Cabfilled <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r. No one tackles those cars withoutconsiderable talent. Carey Knaus, a recent emigre to Mainewho revived <strong>the</strong> Downeast Club, works as a servicetechnician <strong>for</strong> East Coast <strong>Rover</strong>. Doug Foster and RichardBetts have spent much time improving and/or modifying<strong>the</strong>ir <strong>Rover</strong>s. Wisely, <strong>the</strong>y all stood back to w<strong>at</strong>ch <strong>the</strong>carnage, intervening only when our collective ineptitudethre<strong>at</strong>ened life or delayed departure.The rapacious cost of a ticket aboard <strong>the</strong> Maine St<strong>at</strong>eFerry Service kept my <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> on <strong>the</strong> island, but myTriumph TR-7, already on <strong>the</strong> mainland, got me to <strong>the</strong>event on time. I arrived to find Rick Bonnett’s l<strong>at</strong>e SeriesII-A soft top in <strong>the</strong> garage, hood up, like a p<strong>at</strong>ient <strong>at</strong> adentist’s office. I changed into my boiler suit and jumpedonto his front bumper, ready to get in <strong>the</strong> way—think“Little Shop of Horrors.” Walter w<strong>at</strong>ched <strong>for</strong> a moment,stared in disbelief <strong>at</strong> my TR-7, and noted, “I wouldn’tlet anyone who drives a TR-7 work on my car!” One point<strong>for</strong> Walter.Rick’s first request involved <strong>the</strong> install<strong>at</strong>ion of anengine he<strong>at</strong>er, an electric device th<strong>at</strong> would warm <strong>the</strong> car’scoolant prior to starting, and swapping out his <strong>the</strong>rmost<strong>at</strong><strong>for</strong> a winter temper<strong>at</strong>ure one. Draining <strong>the</strong> radi<strong>at</strong>or [minusa drain plug or spigot] meant removing <strong>the</strong> bottom hoseand splashing antifreeze onto <strong>the</strong> differential, resulting inmuch of it missing <strong>the</strong> drain pan below. We promisedWalter we would clean up <strong>the</strong> mess.Rick <strong>the</strong>n cut <strong>the</strong> bottom hose to install <strong>the</strong> he<strong>at</strong>er,which subsequently faced <strong>the</strong> wrong direction such th<strong>at</strong>if he started <strong>the</strong> car, <strong>the</strong> fan would instantly slice <strong>the</strong>electric cord in half. For a change, I caught this in advance.Disassembly was <strong>the</strong> opposite of assembly and this time,we got it right (we never actually plugged it in to see if itworked—two points <strong>for</strong> Walter).I managed to remove <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>rmost<strong>at</strong> housing withoutbreaking any of <strong>the</strong> long bolts, but we found <strong>the</strong><strong>the</strong>rmost<strong>at</strong> thoroughly stuck in <strong>the</strong> housing. Fortun<strong>at</strong>ely,Walter had a sandblast cabinet, and by cleaning up <strong>the</strong>inside, <strong>the</strong> new Genuine <strong>Parts</strong> <strong>the</strong>rmost<strong>at</strong> snuggled rightinto its slot (three points <strong>for</strong> Walter). We tightened up all<strong>the</strong> clamps and bolts, filled <strong>the</strong> system with freshantifreeze, and started it up. Nothing leaked, but <strong>the</strong>engine chugged and vibr<strong>at</strong>ed more than expected.Rick said his ef<strong>for</strong>ts <strong>at</strong> adjusting his Weber had beenunsuccessful in improving smoothness. So we turned to<strong>the</strong> ignition. After checking <strong>the</strong> points gap we borrowed <strong>at</strong>iming light from Walter. I felt a notch on <strong>the</strong> pulley,loosened <strong>the</strong> clamp on <strong>the</strong> distributor, and proceeded toset <strong>the</strong> timing. It smoo<strong>the</strong>d out nicely <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> right settingand we tightened up <strong>the</strong> clamp. Speaking from his yearsof experience, Walter recommended th<strong>at</strong> Rick take <strong>the</strong> caron a hilly drive to test <strong>for</strong> lugging or pinging. Ten minutesl<strong>at</strong>er, Rick returned, beaming with pleasure. His three hourdrive home to sou<strong>the</strong>rn Maine promised to be a pleasure(four points <strong>for</strong> Walter).Jeff Aronson <strong>at</strong> shop day working hard in his boiler suitrovers magazine / 24


We <strong>the</strong>n set to work on Greg Black’s Series II-A 109”Military. Greg wanted to install his new differential guards,front and rear, and also wanted to have <strong>the</strong> group adjusthis valves. It took Greg, his son Tristan, age 7, and I aninordin<strong>at</strong>ely long time to tighten four bolts on two diffguards, but from underne<strong>at</strong>h <strong>the</strong> car, I popped up to check<strong>the</strong> valve clearances. Greg had wisely brought a new valvecover gasket, a sure sign th<strong>at</strong> his old one would be inperfect shape—it was. The valves made no cl<strong>at</strong>ter uponstarting <strong>the</strong> car, and testing a few clearances with a feelergauge showed <strong>the</strong>m all to be in gre<strong>at</strong> shape. For a change,I touched nothing and returned <strong>the</strong> valve cover to itsrightful place.Tristan Black sagely noted th<strong>at</strong> lunchtime had longsince passed by and th<strong>at</strong> his f<strong>at</strong>her had failed to meet <strong>the</strong>parental oblig<strong>at</strong>ion to feed him. So we buttoned up Greg’scar and Carey Knaus led our convoy to lunch in hisDiscovery. Appropri<strong>at</strong>ely, I brought up <strong>the</strong> rear in <strong>the</strong>TR-7, just behind Rick’s II-A.Rick enjoyed ano<strong>the</strong>r one-tenth mile of carefreedriving be<strong>for</strong>e his <strong>Rover</strong> belched a cloud of black smoke,released a grand backfire th<strong>at</strong> echoed across <strong>the</strong> hills,hurled a ball of flame out <strong>the</strong> exhaust and shuddered to astop on <strong>the</strong> side of <strong>the</strong> road. If you had been in Rick’sshoes, hours from home in region you’ve never seen be<strong>for</strong>e,you would have felt his pain.The o<strong>the</strong>rs returned in a hurry as I peered into <strong>the</strong>engine compartment and opened <strong>the</strong> distributor. To myhorror, <strong>the</strong> distributor shaft turned freely in ei<strong>the</strong>rdirection. Hooking up a tow strap, we returned to Walter’sgarage; correctly assessing our collective talents, he hadnot locked up <strong>the</strong> shop after our departure (five points<strong>for</strong> Walter).Removing <strong>the</strong> distributor we discovered <strong>the</strong> shaft andkeyway were intact—so this distributor should work fine.Returning it to <strong>the</strong> car, we <strong>the</strong>n realized we had no ideawhere top dead center was; we’d <strong>for</strong>gotten to scribe a lineso we could return <strong>the</strong> distributor to its correct loc<strong>at</strong>ion.We tried several angles; one resulted in a tremendousbackfire through <strong>the</strong> carb thro<strong>at</strong> th<strong>at</strong> echoed mightily off<strong>the</strong> hood as I leaned over <strong>the</strong> engine. We went back to <strong>the</strong>basics. Carey removed <strong>the</strong> #1 plug, stuck a wire into <strong>the</strong>cylinder and waited <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> piston to rise as we turned <strong>the</strong>engine with a crank. Once discovered, we returned <strong>the</strong>distributor to its rightful place and started <strong>the</strong> car; sadly,we repe<strong>at</strong>ed this several times as <strong>the</strong> distributor keptpopping out of its keyway. Finally, we realized th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong>distributor clamp, bent from decades of tightening,required removal and fl<strong>at</strong>tening out with a hammer. Walterundertook <strong>the</strong> fine metalwork and we returned <strong>the</strong> clampand distributor to <strong>the</strong>ir correct places (six points<strong>for</strong> Walter).The car started up quickly and ran very smoothly, thusallowing Rick to exhale after holding his bre<strong>at</strong>h <strong>for</strong> anhour. By now, lunch had long passed us by so we drove toa corner store <strong>for</strong> tea time. Rick faced a three hour drivehome on a very cold night. We traded cellphone numbersin case of an emergency, and blissfully, Rick arrived homeon time and with a smoothly running <strong>Rover</strong>. Consideringwh<strong>at</strong> he went through, he’s still talking to me, which isvery kind. Oh, and Walter invited us to return anytime; heneeds <strong>the</strong> laugh (seven points <strong>for</strong> Walter).As absurd as it sounds to Series <strong>Rover</strong> owners, <strong>the</strong>re’s amove afoot to induce hybrid cars to make more noise. AFlorida hybrid owner wrote an angry Letter to <strong>the</strong> Editorafter her husband had discovered <strong>the</strong>ir hybrid SUV runningin <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>at</strong>tached garage <strong>for</strong> four hours, filling <strong>the</strong> spacewith “carbon monoxide and overhe<strong>at</strong>ing” [sic]. The authoradmits she had been on a shopping trip and “preoccupiedwith unlocking <strong>the</strong> trunk, I failed to turn off <strong>the</strong> ignition.”Clearly, unlocking <strong>the</strong> trunk on a contemporary hybridtakes a gre<strong>at</strong> deal of mental energy, <strong>at</strong> least <strong>for</strong> Floridians,so much so th<strong>at</strong> turning off <strong>the</strong> ignition—often <strong>the</strong> firstthing you do when you drive a car into a garage—falls off<strong>the</strong> radar screen. I would advise any reader who owns ahybrid th<strong>at</strong> you practice locking and unlocking <strong>the</strong> trunkso th<strong>at</strong> it becomes second n<strong>at</strong>ure to you. Then you canwork on turning off <strong>the</strong> ignition. Nanny st<strong>at</strong>e, anyone?This has been a tough year meteorologically <strong>for</strong> our Britishcousins; it’s snowed and iced up a lot over <strong>the</strong>re. To <strong>the</strong>embarrassment of its management, <strong>the</strong> Eurostar trainbroke down between England and France, clogging up <strong>the</strong>Chunnel th<strong>at</strong> runs underne<strong>at</strong>h <strong>the</strong> English Channel. Aspassengers s<strong>at</strong> in extreme discom<strong>for</strong>t, British travelersblamed <strong>the</strong> French and French officials blamed <strong>the</strong> British.No one could quite figure out why <strong>the</strong>y could not restart<strong>the</strong> train, but a few days l<strong>at</strong>er, <strong>the</strong> official explan<strong>at</strong>ionbecame “drier snow than expected worked its way past <strong>the</strong>snow shields and <strong>for</strong>med moisture in <strong>the</strong> electric motorswhen <strong>the</strong>y entered <strong>the</strong> much warmer air of <strong>the</strong> Chunnel.”In o<strong>the</strong>r words, as every Series <strong>Rover</strong> and Range <strong>Rover</strong>Classic owner knows, snow worked its way past <strong>the</strong> hoodseals and covered all <strong>the</strong> ignition components. Too bad<strong>the</strong> Eurostar officials didn’t call a <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> enthusiastto solve <strong>the</strong>ir problem.The BBC called it <strong>the</strong> “worst winter since 1963.”Former Gloucester policeman Tom Taylor, now 68,remembered th<strong>at</strong> one as “an unbelievable winter. I used togo out on <strong>the</strong> be<strong>at</strong> and on snow p<strong>at</strong>rol in <strong>the</strong> Cotswolds,sometimes in a <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> recovery vehicle, and findpeople stuck in snowdrifts. Most of <strong>the</strong> country roads wereimpassable—<strong>the</strong> wind was horrendous. A snow ploughwould go down a road, but <strong>the</strong> wind kept blowing snowback on to <strong>the</strong> road and it would refill within hours—thiswent on week after week, It was bitterly cold—I used towear my pajamas under my police uni<strong>for</strong>m.”There you have it, <strong>the</strong> answer to staying warm in aSeries <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>—never remove your pajamas.rovers magazine / 25

From Africawith Lovetext & photos: Richard BettsRichard Betts travels <strong>the</strong> world as a SERE (Survival EvasionResistance Escape) instructor <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> US Marine Corps. He currentlylives in Brunswick, ME, with Tanya, his wife, and <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s,his mistresses –ed.At age 18, I made <strong>the</strong> f<strong>at</strong>eful decision to leave my middleclass, wonderfully dysfunctional family in Worthington, OH,and enlist in <strong>the</strong> Marine Corps. After four years of service asa tank crewman on <strong>the</strong> M1A1, I tried settling down tocivilian life in my home area. Within nine months I leftcivilian life, joined a Marine reserve, and <strong>the</strong>n returned toactive service. F<strong>at</strong>e intervened and I returned to my old MOS(military speak <strong>for</strong> job) and back to <strong>the</strong> same unit <strong>at</strong> CampLejeune, NC. I moved to Fort Knox, KY, as an instructor on<strong>the</strong> M1A1 <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Marines, but three years l<strong>at</strong>er, I <strong>at</strong>tended<strong>the</strong> Marine Security Guard School to become a detachmentcommander <strong>at</strong> an embassy overseas. The week be<strong>for</strong>egradu<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>the</strong>y gave us a chance to pick our first post.Uganda came up; <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> time I remembered th<strong>at</strong> it was inAfrica and little else. I’m sure th<strong>at</strong> Idi Amin came to mindtoo, but <strong>the</strong> lure of living <strong>for</strong> 18 months in “deepest, darkestAfrica” overwhelmed any fears about my decision.Suddenly, <strong>the</strong> orderliness of my military life came upagainst my biggest decision—should I take my four wheeldrive vehicle? Through <strong>the</strong> years I had developed an affinity<strong>for</strong> off-road vehicles, first with my ‘86 Ford Ranger 2wd (yes,I know), <strong>the</strong>n a ‘72 Jeep CJ-5 th<strong>at</strong> never ran, and my lastJeep, a ‘94 Cherokee. As a Jeep fan, I remember my furywhen Peterson’s 4Wheel & Off Road chose <strong>the</strong> Defender 90as its 4x4 of <strong>the</strong> Year; odd how things change.When it came time to decide whe<strong>the</strong>r to ship <strong>the</strong>Cherokee to Africa, I decided th<strong>at</strong> a unibody 4x4 in a countrywith more potholes than road made no sense, so I sold it. Aweek into my stint in Kampala, Uganda I searched <strong>for</strong> avehicle. I w<strong>at</strong>ched how Ugandans drove and sampled <strong>the</strong>irroad network. Only an SUV would do; Toyotas, Mitsubishi’srovers magazine / 38


and a few o<strong>the</strong>r Japanese brands were common, but <strong>the</strong>iconic <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> won out, almost by accident.A friend <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> US Embassy put his ‘91 Discovery3-door V8i Saudi spec on <strong>the</strong> market <strong>for</strong> a very <strong>at</strong>tractiveprice. I had no idea wh<strong>at</strong> I was getting myself into, but<strong>the</strong> look and feel won me over instantly. Thus began mylove affair with <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s. My Disco did everything Ineeded and more. It was fast in comparison to <strong>the</strong> dieselSUV’s th<strong>at</strong> belched black smoke and struggled to climb <strong>the</strong>hilly roads. It hauled me around in rel<strong>at</strong>ive com<strong>for</strong>t, gotacceptable gas mileage and it handled <strong>the</strong> rough roadswithout any issues. I took her on several safaris to <strong>the</strong>Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth N<strong>at</strong>ional Parks,Bwindi Impenetrable Forrest, Sipi Falls and Jinja.As my tour of duty came to a close, I started to look<strong>for</strong> a Defender 110 to take home with me; legal restrictionsand high costs to import a Defender turned me to aSeries <strong>Rover</strong> instead. Few Series <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s seemedavailable—you saw <strong>the</strong>m often enough, but no one wantedto sell <strong>the</strong>irs. I finally found an American working <strong>at</strong>a coffee company willing to sell his ‘77 Series III 88”hard top.Originally, it came through <strong>the</strong> Ministry of Defense,and came to Uganda because its lady owner worked <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong>British High Commission in <strong>the</strong> early 90’s. I had a <strong>Land</strong><strong>Rover</strong> enthusiast look over <strong>the</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>, took a brief test drivemyself, and made <strong>the</strong> arrangements to purchase it. I wasnow <strong>the</strong> proud owner of a continuous restor<strong>at</strong>ion project!While in Uganda, I installed parabolic springs, OME shocks,and several small bits and pieces to keep her intip-top shape.Two years l<strong>at</strong>er, I received orders to report to <strong>the</strong> USEmbassy in Harare, Zimbabwe, a n<strong>at</strong>ion in <strong>the</strong> news <strong>for</strong><strong>the</strong> farm invasions, and <strong>the</strong> resulting political andeconomic turmoil. After receiving reassuring commentsfrom <strong>the</strong> embassy staff, I packed up my belongings andwent to Harare <strong>for</strong> duty. I left <strong>the</strong> Discovery behind andshipped <strong>the</strong> Series <strong>Rover</strong> with me.rovers magazine / 39


Upon arrival to Zimbabwe I was gobsmacked by how<strong>the</strong> media over-infl<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>the</strong> severity of <strong>the</strong> problem <strong>the</strong>re.The city of Harare remained beautiful and peaceful. Afterresearch and daily living, I realized th<strong>at</strong> Zimbabweexperienced <strong>the</strong> same growing pains of almost every o<strong>the</strong>rdecolonized African country. It was self-destructing, withhelp from its very own “elected” leaders.After a few months, my Series finally made it throughall <strong>the</strong> customs hurdles and s<strong>at</strong> in my driveway. However,<strong>the</strong> rings had started to wear, pressurizing <strong>the</strong> crankcaseand blowing oil out wherever it could escape. Lucky <strong>for</strong>me, <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> time I was d<strong>at</strong>ing a Zimbabwean girl whose dadjust happened to own and oper<strong>at</strong>e a company th<strong>at</strong>, amongo<strong>the</strong>r jobs, undertook major engine work.I took <strong>the</strong> opportunity of <strong>the</strong> rebuild to increaseper<strong>for</strong>mance (seriously, who wouldn't?) I decided on <strong>the</strong>following: 2.5L cam, shaved head to get 9:1 compression,correct length push rods <strong>for</strong> new compression head,electronic Petronix ignition, Weber 32/36 DGV with Piercemanifold, electric fan, .060 oversize pistons, header withinsul<strong>at</strong>ion wrap, glass pack muffler (gasp!), and an electricfuel pump.During <strong>the</strong> time th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> truck was in <strong>the</strong> shop, Itraveled through Zimbabwe in a Toyota <strong>Land</strong> Cruiser 100series. We visited Lake Kariba and Lake Chivero, and I cameto love <strong>the</strong> spectacular countryside. With <strong>the</strong> completionof my <strong>Rover</strong>’s rebuild, I decided we needed to undertakea safari. Mind you my girlfriend had become quiteaccustomed to <strong>the</strong> Toyota; when I brought up <strong>the</strong> idea ofa 6 hour drive in a 30-year-old Series <strong>Rover</strong> to Mana Poolsto go lion trekking, she agreed, reluctantly. She will tellyou th<strong>at</strong> if she didn’t love me she would have never doneit! The rebuild results weren't too bad, but <strong>the</strong> glasspackwas a bit loud. Even though we never saw any lions, <strong>the</strong>trip succeeded wonderfully. We did hear <strong>the</strong>m <strong>at</strong> nightthough, and th<strong>at</strong> made things a bit interesting, when allyou have between you and <strong>the</strong>m is <strong>the</strong> tent wall.As my tour of duty in Zimbabwe came to an end,I knew th<strong>at</strong> my girlfriend and I had become as inseparableas me and my <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>. The Series hauled my butt allover Zimbabwe as I crammed in as much sightseeing aspossible. One of my most enduring memories is <strong>the</strong> doubletake I often saw from locals when <strong>the</strong>y spied my old <strong>Land</strong><strong>Rover</strong> with its diplom<strong>at</strong>ic license pl<strong>at</strong>e. Usually you saw<strong>the</strong>se pl<strong>at</strong>es on new BMW’s, Mercedes, and even new <strong>Land</strong><strong>Rover</strong>s, not r<strong>at</strong>ty bush be<strong>at</strong>en Series <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s.My orders took me to Camp Lejeune, NC, and <strong>the</strong>n toIraq. First, Tanya, my girlfriend, became my wife, afterconvincing her of my worth, and promising her f<strong>at</strong>her th<strong>at</strong>I might pay a dowry <strong>for</strong> her one day! By this time she hadgrown accustomed to my “quaint” hobby of <strong>Land</strong><strong>Rover</strong>ing, little knowing th<strong>at</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> would enter her future.I found a ‘97 Discovery 1 5-speed. My wife fell in lovewith it <strong>the</strong> moment she s<strong>at</strong> in it. It had very low miles <strong>for</strong>its age but had significant body damage. I traded an oldToyota 4-runner <strong>for</strong> it, taped an air filter in place, bent<strong>the</strong> bumper out so it didn’t hit <strong>the</strong> tire, tied <strong>the</strong> hood downand drove it 100 miles home.Now <strong>the</strong> fun began in my driveway. After a few daysof hacking and sawing, I hauled <strong>the</strong> old front clip to <strong>the</strong>rovers magazine / 40


dump. I sourced ano<strong>the</strong>r good front clip and somecolor-m<strong>at</strong>ched body parts. The fender happened to havean ARB Safari Snorkel <strong>at</strong>tached to it already and came withall <strong>the</strong> correct parts.At <strong>the</strong> base, I assisted a qualified welder who <strong>at</strong>tached<strong>the</strong> new front clip. I bolted toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> sheet metal andhanded <strong>the</strong> keys over to my wife. She took <strong>the</strong> Discoveryand releg<strong>at</strong>ed me to <strong>the</strong> Series <strong>Rover</strong> or our Ford Focuseconobox.For my next deployment, we sold <strong>the</strong> Focus and kept<strong>the</strong> two <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s. Only <strong>the</strong> support of o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>enthusiasts, who promised to help Tanya should <strong>the</strong><strong>Rover</strong> experience problems, gave us <strong>the</strong> peace of mindto take this step. The only significant problem was <strong>the</strong>all-too-common ignition cylinder issue. Luckily, Tanya hadfinally become com<strong>for</strong>table driving <strong>the</strong> Series. She had hadto transition from a country th<strong>at</strong> drives on <strong>the</strong> left to oneth<strong>at</strong> drives on <strong>the</strong> right; suddenly she had to drive a RHDSeries on a left hand drive road. Daunting <strong>for</strong> her <strong>at</strong> first,I think she liked <strong>the</strong> <strong>at</strong>tention she got–a pretty petite blonddriving a bush be<strong>at</strong> funny looking steering wheel on <strong>the</strong>wrong side of <strong>the</strong> truck.When I returned, we again confronted <strong>the</strong> decision onano<strong>the</strong>r car. I looked <strong>at</strong> everything from an Audi A4 to aVolvo. We finally decided to take a look <strong>at</strong> a 2004 <strong>Land</strong><strong>Rover</strong> Discovery II with only 21,000 miles. After a thoroughgoing over and test drive we fell in love with it, and nowown three <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s. A few months l<strong>at</strong>er we moved toour current residence in Maine. First, I drove <strong>the</strong> Disco I toMaine to look <strong>for</strong> housing, and <strong>the</strong>n we towed <strong>the</strong> Seriesbehind our moving truck while Tanya drove <strong>the</strong> Disco II.We love New England—<strong>the</strong>re are lots of Series <strong>Rover</strong>srunning around <strong>the</strong> area!My life has been filled with service, opportunity andtravel, and my <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s have played a big part in mylife. I don’t think I could part with any of <strong>the</strong>m, and I look<strong>for</strong>ward to where <strong>the</strong>y will take me next.rovers magazine / 41

ON THE KOKOPELLI TRAILtext: Gustaf Kupetzphotos: Ben EdmonsonGustaf Kupetz was most recently <strong>the</strong> Gear and Field Specialist <strong>for</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>Lifestyle magazine. An avid off-roader, he headed <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Rockies last summer.Here’s his story –ed.rovers magazine / 47


It’s been a personal goal to search out <strong>the</strong> quintessentialoverland trail. The perfect trail would have sufficientlength and difficulty to test you and your vehicle, andrequire significant planning, but should you be stranded,would not require a s<strong>at</strong>ellite phone or medical kit <strong>for</strong>survival. At <strong>the</strong> time of this trip, this seemed like quite <strong>the</strong>challenge; now looking back it proved to me more a lessonin finding any kinks in your armor should you desire to dosomething more challenging.My “perfect trail” list eventually grew to includecamping, w<strong>at</strong>er crossings, and rock climbs, as well asphysically demanding and dram<strong>at</strong>ic scenery. Kokopelli’sTrail runs from Loma, CO, to Moab, UT. At 142 miles, wi<strong>the</strong>lev<strong>at</strong>ions from 4,000–8,000 feet, it has achieved nearmythic st<strong>at</strong>us in <strong>the</strong> mountain bike world. Indeed, ourbiggest challenge came from Amy Hermes and her “TeamHigh Maintenance,” female mountain bike racers all, whoclaimed th<strong>at</strong> her fleet of cycles could complete <strong>the</strong> courseahead of our fleet of <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s.With <strong>the</strong> gauntlet tossed down, I searched <strong>for</strong>comp<strong>at</strong>riots. Cory Paulger looked grim <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> prospect ofdenting his stock <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>, but I promised a safeexpedition (ignoring <strong>the</strong> fact th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> last time I led agroup with stock <strong>Rover</strong>s somebody broke <strong>the</strong>ir differential).Doug Evilsizor joined us in an LR3, as well as photographerBen Edmonson, Eric Dalton in his rough and tumbleDefender 90, and Randy Tuggle in his Defender.The start line was Rabbit Valley, just outside of Fruita,CO. Being polite as well as vain, we let Team HighMaintenance have a head start while we took photos; oncewe got going, we promptly passed <strong>the</strong>m. The trail startedoff <strong>at</strong> I-70 and wound its way through a dried riverbed.The easy trail popped out <strong>at</strong> a r<strong>at</strong>her stunning overlookfe<strong>at</strong>uring <strong>the</strong> Colorado River. The view down <strong>the</strong> river wenton <strong>for</strong>ever; we could actually see some of <strong>the</strong> rocks ofMoab and <strong>the</strong> La Sal Mountains. Incredibly we would pass<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> foot of <strong>the</strong>m in two or three days.Turning back onto <strong>the</strong> trail from <strong>the</strong> lookout, I turnedjust a little bit wrong. “Err, ah, yes I know where we aregoing,” I snapped back in an ef<strong>for</strong>t to thwart peoples’questions about my supreme navig<strong>at</strong>ional skills. I figuredI had navig<strong>at</strong>ed through here be<strong>for</strong>e and it should be acinch. River on <strong>the</strong> left? Check. Highway several miles offto <strong>the</strong> right? Check.Well, not quite. My detour led us to <strong>the</strong> bottom of thisr<strong>at</strong>her long uphill sand dune. Now n<strong>at</strong>urally by this time Ihad determined we were not lost, but th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> trail “hadindeed moved.” I was just sure we needed to get to <strong>the</strong>rovers magazine / 48

top of <strong>the</strong> hill to return to <strong>the</strong> trail. Moving overloaded<strong>Rover</strong>s up sand can be fun, a “pssssst” of <strong>the</strong> tires airingdown and and a “whee” of <strong>the</strong> winch turning, and wewere up. To my relief, <strong>the</strong> Kokopelli Trail sign appeared infront of us. Only one thing, it had an LRL sticker on it….Hmm Team High Maintenance had passed throughalready.The LR3 really does handle all conditions better than<strong>the</strong> previous coil spring <strong>Rover</strong>s, as I found out when I mademy “Top Gear” ef<strong>for</strong>t to pass Team High Maintenance. In<strong>the</strong> end I made Fish Ford to get <strong>the</strong>m some w<strong>at</strong>er, but <strong>the</strong>women had smoked us by 6.5 minutes. As we made camp,mountain-climber Ben Clark joined us in his new Range<strong>Rover</strong>. L<strong>at</strong>er, drifting off into sleep, <strong>the</strong> humili<strong>at</strong>ion oflosing to a bike got <strong>the</strong> better of me. I couldn’t helpthinking trucks don’t get tired, human bodies do. Goodluck, High Maintenance, it’s a long trail.The day broke with a “too cold to get out of bed” chill.Team High Maintenance left be<strong>for</strong>e we finished breakfast.We packed up fast to take advantage of two optional sidetrips, one to “Top of <strong>the</strong> World” and <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> w<strong>at</strong>ercrossing on <strong>the</strong> Dolores River. These added a few miles,but with one extra fuel can, experience taught me wecould make it. However, “Top of <strong>the</strong> World” seeminglye<strong>at</strong>s low profile tires, but from this spectacular view youcan see almost <strong>the</strong> whole trail—bonus points <strong>for</strong> drivingyour truck out on <strong>the</strong> overhang!The Dolores River crossing has its own warning as well.Call ahead to <strong>the</strong> Moab BLM (Bureau of <strong>Land</strong>Management) office <strong>for</strong> daily river conditions and do scoutyour route across—<strong>the</strong> river may look shallow, but can hidedeep underw<strong>at</strong>er holes. The second crossing is tricky aswell; you cannot see <strong>the</strong> exit on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side. Youessentially hug <strong>the</strong> left bank, go up river, cross to a sandbar, drive <strong>the</strong> bar’s length and <strong>the</strong>n cross. We ended up“volunteering” a scout on <strong>the</strong> roof rack to keep us awayfrom <strong>the</strong> deep w<strong>at</strong>er.We camped overnight <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> nearby Cowskincampground and left early in morning. Our goal was tomake it to <strong>the</strong> Hideout campground by nightfall. Hideoutis a sweet gem of place hidden just over a small saddlefrom Fisher Valley, and <strong>the</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>st from civiliz<strong>at</strong>ion.Typically, <strong>Rover</strong> fuel tanks will be near empty, with onlya spare 5 gallon can on <strong>the</strong> roof. This lends itself tofingers-crossed, tense drives <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> way. I must say,it would be a r<strong>at</strong>her long walk.At th<strong>at</strong> moment, <strong>the</strong> campfire rose “only slightlylarger” than wh<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> BLM advises and <strong>the</strong> marin<strong>at</strong>edsteaks grilled deliciously. The tall tales grew larger than lifeand with newfound friends, you could say you hadn’t anycares in <strong>the</strong> world. Isn’t th<strong>at</strong> why we all seek expeditionsin our lives?As our marin<strong>at</strong>ed steaks grilled deliciously and allworries about losing our race with those talented bikers,or fuel tank capacities, or difficult off road terrain, fell by<strong>the</strong> wayside. We’re <strong>at</strong> a campsite with our <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s andfriends, sharing tall tales and letting our cares fall by <strong>the</strong>wayside. Expeditions provide us with special moments inour lives, when fulfillment is everything and <strong>the</strong>competition is within ourselves, not o<strong>the</strong>rs.rovers magazine / 51


FROMTHESHOPtext: Taylor CongletonTaylor Congleton owns and oper<strong>at</strong>es T. Congleton <strong>Rover</strong>s, a full service <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> shop in West<strong>for</strong>d, VT, andOverland Corrosion Protection, which exclusively provides Waxoyl protection <strong>for</strong> any vehicle. Taylor is also <strong>the</strong>Field Technician <strong>for</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s <strong>North</strong> Fleet Sales –ed.On <strong>the</strong> Sunday after Christmas,I found myself in <strong>the</strong> shop. I took apersonal day of sorts to replace aworn out transmission in my ‘95Range <strong>Rover</strong> Classic. Everythingproceeded smoothly, perhaps toomuch so, when <strong>the</strong> telephone rang.The voice over <strong>the</strong> cellphonebelonged to a loyal customer of mine.Priscilla was on holiday to Virginia inher ’01 Range <strong>Rover</strong> P-38 Holland &Holland with a full tank of gas, <strong>at</strong>speed on <strong>the</strong> interst<strong>at</strong>e, when <strong>the</strong>motor inexplicably quit runningoutside of Glens Falls, NY. Over <strong>the</strong>phone I asked Priscilla to brave <strong>the</strong>December storm and open <strong>the</strong>bonnet. I walked her through <strong>the</strong> fusebox layout and had her switch <strong>the</strong>fuel pump relay with ano<strong>the</strong>r of lesserimportance. This easy fix didn’t do<strong>the</strong> trick; Priscilla also said th<strong>at</strong> shecould hear <strong>the</strong> quiet hum of <strong>the</strong> fuelpump normally heard in ignitionposition 2.I briefly explored <strong>the</strong> feasibility ofan afternoon road call, but realizedth<strong>at</strong> without more in<strong>for</strong>m<strong>at</strong>ion, itwould be nearly impossible to do aroadside repair th<strong>at</strong> allowed her tocontinue on her journey th<strong>at</strong> sameday. Unhappily, I advised here th<strong>at</strong> itwould be best to fl<strong>at</strong>bed <strong>the</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>back to <strong>the</strong> shop and continue herjourney in a rental car. W e a t h e rconditions meant it took a day <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>Range <strong>Rover</strong> to appear in <strong>the</strong> shop.With my assistant, we pulled <strong>the</strong>truck inside to thaw and dry out; itseemed logical th<strong>at</strong> due to <strong>the</strong>n<strong>at</strong>ure of <strong>the</strong> failure (<strong>at</strong> speed on<strong>the</strong> Interst<strong>at</strong>e in extremely wetconditions), moisture played a role.We inspected <strong>the</strong> usual suspects. Thefuel pump relay functioned; however,it was not pulsing on upon ignitioncycling. It would close <strong>for</strong> a briefsecond and <strong>the</strong>n remain open.Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, while holding it closedwith my fingers (in <strong>the</strong>ory grounding<strong>the</strong> pump and enabling fuel delivery)I could not hear <strong>the</strong> fuel pump. Thiswas clue number one. A P-38 inproper working order should haveconstant power (+) to <strong>the</strong> fuel pumpvia BCM (body control module) andinertia fuel cut off switch, and shouldoper<strong>at</strong>e only when <strong>the</strong> relay closed,earth grounded (-), thus providing <strong>the</strong>completed circuit.The inertia switch was not tripped,and was functioning properly. Shortof a BCM signal failure, we turned to<strong>the</strong> fuel pump <strong>for</strong> answers. The Range<strong>Rover</strong> has an ingenious anti-<strong>the</strong>ftdesign th<strong>at</strong> prevents siphoning <strong>the</strong>fuel tank, so dropping <strong>the</strong> 95% fulltank proved quite a challenge.

and <strong>the</strong>n inspected <strong>the</strong> wiringharness. It looked clean with nonoticeable deterior<strong>at</strong>ion, even intactwith its protective plastic sleeve. Theconnector looked cleaner than I hadexpected <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> top of tank.My assistant cycled <strong>the</strong> ignitionrepe<strong>at</strong>edly, but I could not detectvoltage in <strong>the</strong> harness plug.Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, <strong>the</strong> fuel level gaugefunctioned properly, as confirmed by<strong>the</strong> weight of <strong>the</strong> fully laden fueltank. To me, this fur<strong>the</strong>r rein<strong>for</strong>ced<strong>the</strong> point th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> harness was intactand <strong>the</strong> pump itself would befunctioning properly if only it couldget voltage. I hot-wired <strong>the</strong> tank witha direct 12v and g<strong>at</strong>or clips, and sureenough it pulsed when <strong>the</strong> relay washeld closed.I reinstalled <strong>the</strong> tank and s<strong>at</strong> downon my favorite BFG All Terrain topore over <strong>the</strong> starting and chargingschem<strong>at</strong>ics <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> P38. Here’s how Itried to diagnose <strong>the</strong> problem:-Non starting P-38 A with functionalfuel pump relay-Inertia cutoff switch functional butnot activ<strong>at</strong>ed-Tank inspection showed functionalharness and operable fuel pump-Fuel level gauge functional-Connection to a DEC Superscantested BCM and ECU andfound both functioned properly on<strong>the</strong>ir tests-Tested alarm system in case amalfunction might disable <strong>the</strong> fuelpump, but it functioned properly.I pondered whe<strong>the</strong>r I had aproblem with <strong>the</strong> BCM itself, yet I hadpower present <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> output pins of<strong>the</strong> BCM heading to <strong>the</strong> inertiaswitch, and had power on both sidesof <strong>the</strong> switch. Somehow power wasintermittent from BCM or <strong>the</strong> powerwas getting lost between passengerse<strong>at</strong> harness and passenger rear wheelwell where harness ducks out of bodyshell and exposes itself be<strong>for</strong>e beingrouted to <strong>the</strong> tank. I hastily removedrear passenger area trim butagain, I saw only a perfectly clean,dry harness.Then I realized a mistake in ourapproach. We had established power(intermittently) <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> BCM andinertia fuel cutoff switch, but we hadnot checked <strong>for</strong> continuity <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong>pump connector when we had <strong>the</strong>tank removed. I dropped <strong>the</strong> tankagain (much faster this time as I hadhoned my full tank removaltechnique) and took ano<strong>the</strong>r look <strong>at</strong><strong>the</strong> old harness. I cut off protectiveplastic sleeve and inspected each wireindividually. There’s about 3 feet ofharness here, and feeling each wirewith my hands took a second. On <strong>the</strong>last wire (of course) about 3” below<strong>the</strong> body exit, I found an odd bulgein one of <strong>the</strong> wires. I gutted her tofind blue copper corrosion/dust.Someone bodged something whilemanufacturing <strong>the</strong> harness. Our guessis <strong>the</strong> spool of copper must have runout right <strong>the</strong>re and a new spooladded <strong>at</strong> point of manufacture.This spool change routinely causesimperfections, and <strong>the</strong> alloy buttclamp corroded into green powder.After cutting and soldering <strong>the</strong>problem wire, he<strong>at</strong> shrinking it andenough plastic protection <strong>for</strong> anadditional 15 years, I reinstalled <strong>the</strong>tank.

Previously I discussed how to pack all <strong>the</strong> campingand off-road adventure stuff in your <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>. There Iaddressed <strong>the</strong> kitchen kit as a single object, but it isactually a refined system of many necessary items nestedinside each o<strong>the</strong>r. A good kit enables delicious adventurefueling grub with minimal gear. To help you build or refineyour camping kitchen, I will dissect mine and give tips howto make yours all-inclusive, yet compact as possible.Bill Burke’s kitchenI learned to cook <strong>at</strong> an early age, starting when Iwould get home from school. L<strong>at</strong>er I would earn aScouting merit badge in cooking. My Scoutmaster wouldhave us collect drift wood along Deerfield Beach, makingus use <strong>the</strong> various methods of starting a fire, includingflint and steel, bow and string and yes, even <strong>the</strong> stupidtrick of rubbing two sticks toge<strong>the</strong>r. The l<strong>at</strong>ter can actuallyhappen with yellow pine heartwood and really dry oak, butit just takes some serious work.Today, nothing be<strong>at</strong>s <strong>the</strong> Coleman stove. I boughtmy current one <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sunrise Drive-in The<strong>at</strong>er and FleaMarket <strong>for</strong> $5.00. This small,two-burner, liquid gas tank stove,has given me years of gre<strong>at</strong> serviceand lots of fantastic meals in <strong>the</strong>woods. With normal cleaning andonly one gener<strong>at</strong>or tube along <strong>the</strong>way, I have produced many agourmet feast <strong>for</strong> small or largegroups. The only thing I add on <strong>for</strong>large outfitting group trips is a bigtwo-burner stove I bought usedyears ago, a 24-cup coffee pot anda bigger cutting board.My regular kitchen fits into asmall size Rubbermaid containerth<strong>at</strong>, yep, you guessed it, I boughtused <strong>at</strong> a yard sale. The Rubbermaidcontainer is w<strong>at</strong>er-resistant andlargely critter-resistant, but I dorespect bears. I also don’t leave it on<strong>the</strong> ground <strong>for</strong> long periods orrovers magazine / 54


overnight. Little critters like ants seem to like <strong>the</strong> smellseman<strong>at</strong>ing from it and can crawl inside. The gear carriedinside has enabled me to cook up multi-course meals frombreakfast burritos and perked coffee to lime and garlicinfused wild salmon, sliced spiced yams, wilted spinachwith a cranberry chutney and blueberry cobbler <strong>for</strong> dessert.No way am I going to e<strong>at</strong> out of a bag! With <strong>the</strong> ARBrefriger<strong>at</strong>or and my camping kitchen, w<strong>at</strong>ch outIron Chef C<strong>at</strong> Cora!For example, how does this sound? My breakfastburritos include: fresh tortillas, canned bean/rice combo,eggs, spinach, tom<strong>at</strong>oes, garlic, cilantro, onion (or a jarredSalsa), fully cooked chicken and feta sausage and a slicedorange or apple. I get <strong>the</strong> bean/rice going in <strong>the</strong> pan with<strong>the</strong> sausage cut into pieces, while th<strong>at</strong> is he<strong>at</strong>ing up I make<strong>the</strong> salsa and get <strong>the</strong> coffee w<strong>at</strong>er going (remember, I havea two burner stove). I put some eggs on <strong>the</strong> skillet withspinach cook it all up and mix it toge<strong>the</strong>r. I clean <strong>the</strong> skilletoff and he<strong>at</strong> up <strong>the</strong> tortilla, <strong>the</strong>n fill it with <strong>the</strong> mix, wrapit up, drop <strong>the</strong> salsa on top, pour a cup of joe and sit down<strong>for</strong> a hearty morning meal. Yum!I used one pan, one skillet, one coffee pot, paper pl<strong>at</strong>e,sp<strong>at</strong>ula, <strong>for</strong>k and a cup. For easy clean up I dribble somew<strong>at</strong>er in <strong>the</strong> pan and let it soak, wipe <strong>the</strong> skillet offkeeping <strong>the</strong> cast iron seasoned, wipe <strong>the</strong> pan with a couplepaper towels, clean it all off well and burn <strong>the</strong> papergoods or save <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> next campfire or home dumpster.I’m usually e<strong>at</strong>ing by <strong>the</strong> time <strong>the</strong> next camper overis stirring <strong>the</strong> bag from <strong>the</strong> Jet Boil meal <strong>the</strong>y thinkis real food.First, I will say th<strong>at</strong> I utilized yard sale items <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>most part. Second, I try to only use stainless and cast ironof quality construction. Third, I keep it all as clean aspossible without ruining <strong>the</strong> temper or seasoning. Fourth,I don’t use soap in my coffee pot! I do use Dr. Bronner’sMagic all-in-one soap <strong>for</strong> all my camping needs. I also useit to help se<strong>at</strong> tire beads on <strong>the</strong> trail…but I digress!The stove and <strong>the</strong> container fit one on top of <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rwith a strong bungee holding it in place. When I set upcamp, I pull my camping table out of <strong>the</strong> back, set it upand get <strong>the</strong> stove off <strong>the</strong> container and onto <strong>the</strong> table.I lay out <strong>the</strong> cutting board, get <strong>the</strong> coffee pot and papertowels out of <strong>the</strong> way, pull <strong>the</strong> utensil pouch out and hangit in a tree or on <strong>the</strong> truck. I use an old “passport pouch”th<strong>at</strong> holds all my cooking spoons, sp<strong>at</strong>ula, pasta <strong>for</strong>k,knife, ladle, chop-sticks and o<strong>the</strong>r items.My pots and pans include an old round cast-ironskillet, almost fl<strong>at</strong> (seasoned enough so nothing sticks toit), two stainless steel frying pans (10” and 9” so <strong>the</strong>ynestle to save space). A cotton flour sack keeps <strong>the</strong> pansquiet from banging and damage-free. Stacked under <strong>the</strong>pans are four porcelain-on-steel pl<strong>at</strong>es <strong>for</strong> paper pl<strong>at</strong>esupports—keeps <strong>the</strong> clean up easier. An MSR stackableBill Burke’s kitchen all packed up in his Defender 90stainless steel pot set nestles into <strong>the</strong> frying pans; inside Ikeep two smaller stainless pots with folding handles. Thesepots range from 4 liters to 1.5L and have lids th<strong>at</strong> can beused as pl<strong>at</strong>es or salads of mixing marinades. These havea stuff sack to keep r<strong>at</strong>tling down or if <strong>the</strong> big pot getssooty from a campfire.Around <strong>the</strong> perimeter of <strong>the</strong> pans and pots I have threestainless cups <strong>for</strong> coffee or tea, with spices (Golden Garlicchunks and pepper spices) stowed in <strong>the</strong> stackable cups.In <strong>the</strong> bottom of one of <strong>the</strong> cups (under <strong>the</strong> spice jar) is<strong>the</strong> filter/funnel <strong>for</strong> my Coleman fuel tank. The spice jarjust happens to nestle into <strong>the</strong> funnel. Do you see a <strong>the</strong>mehere? All this nestling going on, just one happy kitchenbox, huh?Continuing on, I have a fl<strong>at</strong> plastic strainer th<strong>at</strong> cancover half of <strong>the</strong> 4L pot to drain pasta or veggie w<strong>at</strong>er. Ilike this thicker, heavy duty one since a full pot of pastaand w<strong>at</strong>er can be heavy and it stinks to w<strong>at</strong>ch <strong>the</strong> cookedelbows fall onto <strong>the</strong> ground. I have a regular can openerwith big handles and sharp blade. I have an old bankmoney pouch th<strong>at</strong> holds 3 <strong>for</strong>ks, 3 spreading knives,3 tablespoons, 2 long teaspoons, <strong>the</strong> MSR pot handle,small pliers (helps with <strong>the</strong> Coleman pump le<strong>at</strong>her oiling),a whisk, small wooden spoon, bottle cap opener, knifesharpener and last but not least, a corkscrew.I use paper pl<strong>at</strong>es and <strong>the</strong>y usually fit right on <strong>the</strong> topof <strong>the</strong> pots under <strong>the</strong> lid of <strong>the</strong> container. I buy papertowels th<strong>at</strong> are individually wrapped off <strong>the</strong> shelf. I have aspecial trick to dispense <strong>the</strong> towels while keeping <strong>the</strong>plastic wrapping on. Cut a small X in <strong>the</strong> plastic where <strong>the</strong>center tube is. Twist <strong>the</strong> cardboard tube out <strong>the</strong> center andpull <strong>the</strong> roll from <strong>the</strong> inside out. This keeps <strong>the</strong> papertowels orderly and covered so <strong>the</strong>y don’t get junked up.I don’t mind e<strong>at</strong>ing backpacking meals when climbing,hiking or <strong>for</strong> survival, but after a day on <strong>the</strong> trails nothingbe<strong>at</strong>s a real cooked meal. Your <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> has plentyof room <strong>for</strong> everything; it just takes a little thoughtand prepar<strong>at</strong>ion.rovers magazine / 55


Oh!Forever-Hannah and The Machinetext by Hannah ThayerI’m a car girl, <strong>the</strong> daughter of a <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> enthusiastand <strong>the</strong> granddaughter of an auto dealer. Whe<strong>the</strong>r becauseof my genes, or wh<strong>at</strong> I like to do in my jeans, I want todrive only <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s.As an infant I would play with my dad’s <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>models and drink out of our collection of <strong>Rover</strong>s <strong>North</strong>mugs. At age 4, I really started to notice <strong>the</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s.My family owned <strong>the</strong> 1965 Series II-A 109” Pickup and a1964 Series II-A th<strong>at</strong> my f<strong>at</strong>her painted in Camel Trophylivery. I feel th<strong>at</strong> I am following in my f<strong>at</strong>her’s footsteps.Hannah Thayer, Abingdon, VA, is a 16-year-old high schooljunior. She’s a <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> enthusiast thanks to her parents,Kevin and Michelle Thayer. Her <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> makes possibleher love of photography, 4-H, outdoor recre<strong>at</strong>ion, andspending time with friends –ed.He would put me in <strong>the</strong> back of <strong>the</strong> 109” when <strong>the</strong> localHighlands <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> Club would join local parades.I listened to his stories about different rallies, trips toVermont and off-road events. I could see th<strong>at</strong> my dad’s<strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> looked really different from wh<strong>at</strong> everyone elsehad; people saw it, usually liked it and I really enjoyed iteven <strong>at</strong> a young age. I have been surrounded by his love<strong>for</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s my whole life. Whe<strong>the</strong>r reaching into <strong>the</strong>kitchen cabinet <strong>for</strong> a glass and viewing an array ofdifferent <strong>Rover</strong>s <strong>North</strong> mugs, or selecting a book from hisrovers magazine / 56


office and scanning <strong>the</strong> shelves of <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> books, hisaffection <strong>for</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s is evident. <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> prints,m<strong>at</strong>ted and framed, adorn <strong>the</strong> walls of our house. Myyounger bro<strong>the</strong>r Tyler spent hours playing with <strong>the</strong> remotecontrol Range <strong>Rover</strong> in <strong>the</strong> living room. I call it “life;”o<strong>the</strong>rs, well, <strong>the</strong>y may call it “craziness.”Throughout my life, our driveway has been occupied by<strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s of different sizes, models, colors, and years.Whe<strong>the</strong>r ours, or just one th<strong>at</strong> my dad was working on <strong>for</strong>a friend, <strong>the</strong>y made our house look a lot better!Throughout elementary school, my dad would drive me<strong>the</strong>re in <strong>the</strong> Series <strong>Rover</strong>; no one else got to ride to schoolin something so cool. My mom often had a “real car,” likeour Honda, Chevy Trail Blazer or Tahoe. By <strong>the</strong> time Ientered middle school my family purchased a 1998 <strong>Land</strong><strong>Rover</strong> Discovery, which really became our family car.I developed a real “<strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> radar.” Almost everywherewe went I could spot one in <strong>the</strong> middle of a million cars.After a few years I started to dream about getting mylicense, and of course, <strong>the</strong> car of my dreams. I knew th<strong>at</strong>I wanted a <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>, and th<strong>at</strong> was th<strong>at</strong>. In <strong>the</strong>meantime, I had to begin to learn how to drive. My mom’sChevy Tahoe did not help me with th<strong>at</strong> concept! Everytime I drove it I would complain about its handling or itspoor visibility. So I stopped driving until I could get a <strong>Land</strong><strong>Rover</strong> to learn on—I was determined. My f<strong>at</strong>her had soldhis Discovery and bought a truck more appropri<strong>at</strong>e <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>farm. We did, and still do, own a 1993 Range <strong>Rover</strong>, but<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> time of learning how to drive, it underwentmajor refurbishment. So, I waited as p<strong>at</strong>iently as possible<strong>for</strong> my own <strong>Rover</strong>.One day, when my family ran some errands, I spotted a2005 LR3 <strong>at</strong> a local auto auction. Of course I made mydad pull <strong>the</strong> car over so we could check it out. Being newto driving my parents did not think th<strong>at</strong> I needed such anupscale vehicle. However, I still managed to convince myf<strong>at</strong>her and my grandf<strong>at</strong>her to go to <strong>the</strong> auction to <strong>at</strong> leastsee how much it would cost—actually I had secret hopesth<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong>y would return with <strong>the</strong> LR3 in hand. Well, a girlcan wish, can’t she?L<strong>at</strong>er th<strong>at</strong> day <strong>the</strong>y did not come home with <strong>the</strong> LR3,but a 1998 British Racing Green <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> Discovery.Wh<strong>at</strong> a beauty it was! I was so excited, and I could notget over how perfect it was <strong>for</strong> me. I jumped right intolearning how to drive again and could not wait to get mypermit so I could drive it by myself.Well I now have my driver’s license. I drive my Discoveryto school every day and anywhere else I need to go. Youreally have to experience it to get <strong>the</strong> full effect. It providesgre<strong>at</strong> visibility; I have no problem seeing all around me.I can clearly see over <strong>the</strong> hood of <strong>the</strong> car and <strong>the</strong> multiplewindows make backing up very easy. I hardly ever worryabout being in a situ<strong>at</strong>ion where I do not have adequ<strong>at</strong>evisibility, because I drive a <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>. It rides like no o<strong>the</strong>rvehicle I have ever been in. It is smooth, yet you get <strong>the</strong>full effect of <strong>the</strong> world around you. On <strong>the</strong> interst<strong>at</strong>e, myDiscovery rides with bliss and carries itself so nicely. It isalmost a "carefree" type of driving th<strong>at</strong> you experiencewhen driving a <strong>Rover</strong>. Out in town my <strong>Rover</strong> is just asgre<strong>at</strong>; it’s so easy <strong>for</strong> me to handle.From Friday night football games, <strong>the</strong> movies, orcamping trips, my <strong>Rover</strong> serves me well. My friends loveit, too. It seems like <strong>the</strong>y always want to ride with me, andI take pride in th<strong>at</strong>. They’ve told me <strong>the</strong>y feel like <strong>the</strong>y're“on safari" in <strong>the</strong> car. The five disc CD changer also comesin handy as we b<strong>at</strong>tle over wh<strong>at</strong> music we want to listento next. From <strong>the</strong> he<strong>at</strong>ed se<strong>at</strong>s to <strong>the</strong> sunroofs,my Discovery sure feels luxurious.Of course <strong>the</strong>re is a little bit of "friendly jealousy" withthose friends of mine who drive those things called“Jeeps.” For my <strong>Land</strong>y to be called a Jeep—th<strong>at</strong> is onething I will not toler<strong>at</strong>e. I do correct people, and it maycome off as rude sometimes, but it is just one of thosethings you do not do. A <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> and a Jeep simply donot compare.Of <strong>the</strong> 700 students <strong>at</strong> my high school, plus <strong>the</strong> facultyand staff, I’m one of two people who drive a <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>.So, needless to say, I do enjoy driving a <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>to school. I always told my parents th<strong>at</strong> I did not want“just a car.” I wanted something different, and th<strong>at</strong> iswh<strong>at</strong> I got.A <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> really says a lot about a person. It issomething unique; not everyone has one. You can learn alot about someone from looking <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>, from<strong>the</strong> model, <strong>the</strong> year, <strong>the</strong> color, <strong>the</strong> accessories, and <strong>the</strong>stickers th<strong>at</strong> cover <strong>the</strong> back window. Although, it is onlysomething th<strong>at</strong> a <strong>Land</strong>y owner would understand. It is away of life and a good one, I might add. I know th<strong>at</strong> whenI get behind <strong>the</strong> wheel of my <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> I feel like I amon top of <strong>the</strong> world, th<strong>at</strong> I am in <strong>the</strong> right place <strong>for</strong> me.I do not plan on owning any o<strong>the</strong>r kind of car—ever.I want <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> rest of my life, and not justone—a lot of <strong>the</strong>m.When I am much older and have a family of my own,I want my kids to have memories just like I do with <strong>Land</strong><strong>Rover</strong>s. I guess when I am older I’d better marry someonewho likes <strong>Rover</strong>s or I just might drive him crazy. It’s a partof me th<strong>at</strong> will never go away, a part th<strong>at</strong> I will cherish<strong>for</strong>ever. So I encourage anyone who has not had <strong>the</strong>experience of owning, driving, and loving a <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> togo beyond <strong>the</strong> limits and do it, <strong>for</strong> yourself, your friends,and your family. I promise you will never regret it.Th<strong>at</strong> is wh<strong>at</strong> I plan to do. I plan to have many more funadventures in my <strong>Rover</strong>. Everyone has one life, so live it,but only in a <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>.rovers magazine / 57


Breakfast inPETERSHAMtext: Les and Annie Parker / photos: Don FlyeLes Parker, S. Burlington, VT, is a familiar name to <strong>Rover</strong>s <strong>North</strong> customers. He and his wife Annie traveled to Petersham, MA, lastSeptember in typical British we<strong>at</strong>her <strong>for</strong> a classic <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> event –ed.In its six year history, Don Flye’s All Metal Dash weekendhas grown from its original intent of celebr<strong>at</strong>ing only “allmetal dash” <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong>s to including Series III’s, Defendersand o<strong>the</strong>r coil spring vehicles with plastic fascias.The spread of models invited has not diluted <strong>the</strong> originalintent of <strong>the</strong> event one whit.This year, my third return visit, confronted me with adilemma. My <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> 90 (9 TEA, get it?) still sufferedfrom <strong>the</strong> ravages of some woods off-roading over <strong>the</strong>Labor Day weekend, so I elected to drive <strong>the</strong> 97 Discoverywith Sankey trailer in tow. I hoped th<strong>at</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>at</strong>tendeeswould understand th<strong>at</strong> my choice of a vehicle nowincluded only <strong>the</strong> Disco or Annie’s 1999 Volvo S70—and Iknew th<strong>at</strong> would never do!Upon reflection, <strong>the</strong> Discovery proved <strong>the</strong> perfect choice.First we had to pack <strong>for</strong> ourselves, but also all of <strong>the</strong>accouterments necessary to plac<strong>at</strong>e our two dogs, Bene, aJack Russell, and Fergie, a Smooth Haired Border Collie,<strong>for</strong> a 10 hour round trip drive. On a rainy Friday eveningwe set off with a stop in Cabot, VT, to pick up suppliesfrom <strong>the</strong> camp and market garden of Fran, Annie’s mum.As I had promised to cook S<strong>at</strong>urday and Sunday's breakfast<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>at</strong>tendees of <strong>the</strong> event, I needed all <strong>the</strong> implementspossible. By 10:30 pm we finally arrived in Petersham,much to Don Flye’s relief.Very courteously he agreed to let us stay in his roomsabove <strong>the</strong> garage, a warm, dry place to rest our wearybodies. Around 6:00 am I awoke, dressed and made myway to reconnoiter <strong>the</strong> campsite and to start cookingbreakfast; to my surprise folks had g<strong>at</strong>hered already. JohnCamponolla, in charge of brewing coffee, greeted meheartily and let me sample <strong>the</strong> muffins he provided <strong>for</strong>Don Flye’s Series I and fully restored Brockhouse Trailer.rovers magazine / 58


After breakfast line up on S<strong>at</strong>urday morning.everyone. Annie made some awesome scrambled eggs,bacon and some of her mum's recipe blueberry pancakeswith Vermont maple syrup (of course) from her cousinsRuth and Glenn Goodrich of Cabot, VT.After we had put <strong>the</strong> g<strong>at</strong>es into place, it was time <strong>for</strong><strong>the</strong> morning’s Tech Session. Don had requested a lessonon Series transmissions, how <strong>the</strong>y work and some commonissues th<strong>at</strong> can cause <strong>the</strong>m to fail. With this in mind, Ibrought a copy of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> LT76 Overhaul Manualwith me and some of <strong>the</strong> parts th<strong>at</strong> need to be replacedon a regular basis.We had copies of <strong>the</strong> Series I and Series II gearboxoverhaul section of <strong>the</strong> Workshop Manual (AKA <strong>the</strong> GreenBible) and I explained <strong>the</strong> power flow through <strong>the</strong>transmission, <strong>the</strong> various gear selections and high and lowr<strong>at</strong>io options. The donorSeries I gearbox had asuspected fault of beingunable to select 3rd gear,so I went through <strong>the</strong>process of removing <strong>the</strong>selector rods and <strong>for</strong>ks toenable all to see <strong>the</strong>3rd/4th synchromesh hub.All was well, so I explainedhow to replace <strong>the</strong> brokensynchro springs in situ, acommon failing th<strong>at</strong> canbe corrected with <strong>the</strong>transmission still in place.After a question andanswer session we stopped<strong>for</strong> lunch.Mike Flye donned <strong>the</strong>chef's h<strong>at</strong> and cooked aS<strong>at</strong>urday morning breakfast <strong>at</strong> cafe Annie’sgre<strong>at</strong> lunch of burgers andhot dogs, kindly don<strong>at</strong>ed by <strong>the</strong> Flye family. This allowedtime <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> rest of us to browse <strong>the</strong> various piles of usedparts th<strong>at</strong> folks had hauled to <strong>the</strong> event <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> swapmeet.Mike Flye had spent many hours in <strong>the</strong> woods shapingan RTV trials course, set primarily <strong>for</strong> Series vehicles.I walked with him around <strong>the</strong> course and we set wh<strong>at</strong> Iconsidered a tight section of fourteen g<strong>at</strong>es, with <strong>the</strong> ide<strong>at</strong>h<strong>at</strong> we would drive it one way with all <strong>the</strong> entered vehiclesand reverse <strong>the</strong> order of <strong>the</strong> drivers/vehicles to get twosections <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> set, out time <strong>for</strong> one.After lunch we joined <strong>the</strong> enthusiasts <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> RTV course.It was gre<strong>at</strong> to see three 109”s lined up <strong>for</strong> a drive through<strong>the</strong> woods. After <strong>the</strong> first two 88”s went through, I realized<strong>the</strong> course was set too tight; I duly altered <strong>the</strong> course androvers magazine / 59


Out on <strong>the</strong> trail.all <strong>the</strong> vehicles went through. Then all <strong>the</strong> vehicles wereturned around and <strong>the</strong> course was driven in <strong>the</strong> oppositedirection; this made it interesting as several ruts had beenmade on <strong>the</strong> first time around. A second set of g<strong>at</strong>es wereset up, and we repe<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>the</strong> process of driving one wayaround and <strong>the</strong>n driving <strong>the</strong> course again in reverse order.Supper started with a convoy drive to a church supperwhere Don had booked a table <strong>for</strong>us; we dined on very good food,enjoyed gre<strong>at</strong> service and talk about<strong>the</strong> day's events. When we arrivedback to <strong>the</strong> Flye’s, a gre<strong>at</strong> bonfirewith some fire “colour enhancers”and gre<strong>at</strong> people made all of us feelquite content.The <strong>for</strong>ecasted rain started earlySunday morning, so a bedraggledgroup broke camp and waited<strong>for</strong> warm coffee. Once caffein<strong>at</strong>ed,a convoy took a very scenicdrive through <strong>the</strong> Harvard Forest<strong>for</strong> about an hour and <strong>the</strong>nto <strong>the</strong> Petersham Diner <strong>for</strong>breakfast.
