  • Your weekly dose of workshop content. Land Rovers, V8 engine noise and a few spanners for good measure... 👀
    Road testing our engine swapped Defenders is an essential part of data collection to make sure our machines are running to their optimum performance... just so happens that it's a fun process, too!
    We give a rundown of what upgrades we've fitted to a Swiss customer's lovely 110 Defender, take a look at a build by BLCR in Northern Ireland - using out LS3 conversion kit, and Sam takes Cerberus for a spin collecting data after a new automatic gearbox swap.
    Message us on socials about our new drive flanges!

    Another fantastic update video Dave, it’s really great to see what your magicians are up to, creating some awesome masterpieces. Love the honesty these videos and that you are willing to share so much information with us all, what a top guy. I think Sam has missed his vacation and needs to apply for the next vacancy on Top Gear, as he’s chats on camera and humour are just amazing, “He wasn’t speeding really just pressing LOL” keep up the great work guys looking forward to the next video 😎👍

    Ok, so I got 3 new things from this episode Dave, 1) Sam is a bonafide genius and should be paid more. 2) You said you’re rightfully proud of the kit you fit, that’s why you brand everything, Tom took that literally and tried it out on his face, he should be paid less. 3) I bet you’re nightmare friend, super competitive, constantly moving the goal posts and can’t say No to anything…Per Mare, Per Terram !

    I'm testify to the 1st class effort the gang puts into the trucks. And there's mighty fine examples parked everywhere and not just on the lifts. Dave sorted my truck day before yesterday and it's awesome. A rare example of a team with creative vision to realise dreams.

    Must be very light vehicle, Did they use this in military as assault vehicle?? I wonder how would Humvee and defender compare to each other as both made for military purposes!!!

    Nice channel and amazing workmanship. I rather think the Strassenverkehrsamt (Swiss MOT authorities) will have fun with this guys upgrades especially the side steps. I have a Defender and a series 2a here in Switzerland and modifications (especially those that deviate from the original profile of the vehicle) are really hard to get approval for.

    Well once again, I get to sit and watch another episode and thanks I am going to have another sleepless night standing next to my trusty V8 defender and dream the dream that it'll turn into a MAHKER vehicle. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to dream of what really matters. Love your work and what a brilliant team. Keep them coming as dreams do come true.

    Was hoping to see the interior and exterior of the vehicle, just saw tweaks of the upgrades here and there and lengthy scene of it being test driven focusing on the driver. Am sure you guys are good at what you do but i feel your videos don't much your talents, just my opinion.

    Hi Dave that was fantastic and excellent video!!🤩 I have a question about my land rover tray back you see in my profile picture on its roof that's not the problem😆 I have a problem with the suspension it has 4-inch lift, 15-inch travel on the back and 14-inch travel on the front with a 2-inch springs all round and 2 inch spacer on front back has extreme 4x4 dislocating cones that gives it 2inch and it has 35 inch tyres, when the rear articulate it rubs the spring so I put 45m wheel spacers on it still rubs🤦‍♂️ is it the wheel offset or the 4-inch lift is too high 🤔??? Sam you should be called the V8 GURU and get a episode on Sam's daytoday at mahker fucking awesome!!!👌🏻👍🏻
