Aronson Photos By: Land Rover
It’s impossible not to want one. Not only has Land Rover proved the iconic standard-bearer, but they’ve even returned the name “Land Rover” to the front of the bonnet. Just like in the days of Land Rover 90’s and 110’s, the name behind the Green Oval sits boldly on the prow of the car. What’s standing in the way of importation into the US market? One impediment comes from the powertrain end. The Td5 delivered impressive performance and longevity, but was replaced with the Ford Transit motor because of emission reasons . As Mike Gould of Land Rover Lifestyle writes elsewhere in this issue, the regulatory focus of the EU is carbon dioxide levels, while the fractured US regulations focus on particulates and nitrous oxide levels.
10 Land Rover must also confront the potential instability that will and Traction Control, air conditioning, heated seats and windshield arise whenever new corporate parents are found for Land Rover and and electric windows, but the XS edition does come in Sage Green. Jaguar. The Td5 was the last engine designed and built by Land If you and/or the significant person in your life need these trappings Rover. With Land Rover now relying on Ford supplied engines, the of luxury, at least it will enable you to find all of this in a Defender. new parents will find themselves in the uncomfortable position of AutoInsider.com clearly loves the new car. They approach the relying on Ford for its engines. Defender this way. “Conventional machines tend to work on five or A second impediment is the lack of SRS. Land Rover contends the six year cycles, and when the time comes most of the old car is Defender is too rigid and would require a total structural redesign thrown away, apart from the odd oily bit or two. If it’s a bit special to integrate air bags into its interior. Maybe, but American full size it might hang on a few years more, but no car has ever completely pick up trucks look pretty rigid too, and they all have air bags. Lets transcended the rules quite like the Land Rover Defender. The face it, if Ford wanted Defender here they could certainly make it original car first appeared in 1948, and should you be able to happen. park a 2007 model alongside an original, the similarities are So, maybe Defender will benefit the most from new parents. unquestionable.” Certainly contenders like Tata of India would not overlook the poten - tial of investing in a vehicle as basic, and as versatile as the Defender. As we watch Hummer, Jeep and Toyota fill in their lineups with Defender alternatives we have to ask the question: Why is it that Ford does not offer a single off-road vehicle? Also in the issue, you will see the byline of our English corre - spondent, Rob Basaras, of South Woodham Ferrers, near Chelmsford, England. We asked Robbie to source out a Defender for a test drive. That proved to be a great challenge. As Robbie wrote in July “my local dealership has sold 17 just a day or two after their delivery from Solihull! The dealership has maybe 25 Freelanders [LR2 in the US–ed], 25 Discoverys [LR3 in the US –ed] 15 Range Rovers, and if you're lucky, two Defenders. They seem to sell them - selves and go within a couple of days!” Robbie is nothing if not industrious, and when a neighbor who works at Ford brought home a Defender 110 County Station Wagon, Robbie felt the urge to reaffirm their friendship. Sadly, it only sat in his driveway for a night. "That's not to say I didn't crawl over it and have a damn good look" . “Another big step forward concerns the front doors. Although they still have the single door seal and can suffer from water egress, they seem to be pressed as one unit rather in contrast to my 2002 version which is made up of a welded frame around the window. this appears as seamless curves around the window frame. I'm guessing this is an effort to fix the 60 year history of water leaks!” Robbie’s not alone in his assessment. Land Rover Owner International called the Defender “smoother, quieter, warmer, more comfy, has a higher cruising speed and gets around corners better. “The Defender’s 2.4 liter, 4-cylinder diesel is “not just a bit better that the Td5, it’s way better – you notice the considerable extra “It’s not because Land Rover has been lazy, torque both on and off the road, making it even more fun to drive in either environment. The short-shifting, six-speed gearbox is a far from it in fact. The problem is that the delight to use as well. Now, there’s something you’d never have said original, and the generations of models that about a Defender until now.” Between the torque curve and the new gearbox, LROI’s testers note they spent “more time in low third than followed it were so damned good that creat - low-second” on an off-road course. ing an all-new Defender was something of a There’s only one engine option for the Defender but Land Rover still lists 27 different body configurations between the 90, 110, problem.” Now that’s a problem I would and 130 models.

lingering memory of the front left wheel falling off at 70 MPH in In a new series called Roadside Mechanic, Colorado a few weeks earlier. All these seemingly minor issues Waxoyl USA wants to salute those combined to heighten my sensitivity and overall paranoia of potential enthusiasts with the pluck and mechanical issues.

I pulled over around eleven to sleep in the back of my truck. Day one had been as smooth as could be and I was happy to be on my way home. The plan was to drive my Ex- MOD 300 TDI 110 from Salt Lake Day two started less favorably. I woke to the depressing City, Utah to Vermont in three days, by myself, fully loaded and pulling realization that I still had two full days of driving ahead of me. All of a heavy trailer, in the middle of a July heat wave. To succeed a sudden the drive was not very exciting and my music collection was I needed to drive at least 15 hours a day. Like many early Defenders, not so entertaining. The latter turned out to be a non-issue when my mine lacks air conditioning, so I knew the trip was going to be battery health meter started reading negative. Concerned about physically exhausting for both me and my Rover. The goal of three alternator troubles I decided to turn the radio off and enjoy the sound days travel time would only be possible if I had no mechanical issues; of my Rover’s aerodynamic inefficiency. While less entertaining than the stage was set for what would become an epic journey. the radio, I was trying to look on the bright side by reminding myself I left Salt Lake City plagued by uncertainty, feeling like I was that listening to road noise really helps monitor the mechanical limping home to fix my mechanical issues. Limping BEFORE the 3000 health of the Rover. If something were to go wrong, I should be able mile drive, not good. I didn’t have one issue that really bothered me, to hear it first, right? I proved that theory wrong about a half hour more a smattering of minor problems: there was the cracked later when I felt a violent lurch and a total loss of power. headlight that burnt out the bulb, a fast failing clutch master cylinder If you have ever been driving along in your Land Rover and heard that still functioned about 70% of the time, the fender that had fallen a clunk followed by the engine revving, you know it is not a off my trailer, the mud flap that had fallen off my truck, and the happy sensation but not always cause for panic. Occasionally the

Then I called my father, who politely reminded me I needed to pull the half axles out to prevent the possibly ceased spider gears from locking the wheels again. He predicted it would take me about an hour to pull the hub cap, lock ring, drive flange, and axle then replace the drive flange and hub cap on both sides. “OK time me.” Twenty-seven minutes later I was back on the road feeling like nothing could stop me, a feeling that lasted through the rest of day two and a few miles into day three. I hit the road early on day three as I had lost time to make up. The Rover was pulling great in front wheel drive, and I was in a great mood, because for the first time in over a month and a half I would be sleeping in my own bed. Then I heard another loud clunk, followed by several hollow clanks. In my side mirror I saw sparks flying. It is not often you loose a piece of your Rover on the road, but it is a pretty unmistakable feeling, one that I had now experienced twice on this trip. What could have possibly fallen off now?! I pulled over to the side of the road and stopped, thinking, well at least I still have power and brakes. When I attempted to engaged my hand brake I instantly knew the problem. I pulled up on the hand brake and there was no tension. Whoops! A quick peak under confirmed my fears, I had lost the handbrake drum. The hand brake drum is primarily held on by the drive shaft, which I removed and neglected to replace the nuts tightly. The drum had stayed on for at least 500 miles the day before transmission pops out of high range back into neutral, but I find this only to cut loose less than ten miles into he third day. Now what only happens shortly after shifting from low range to high range. So I do I do? was able to rule that really attractive theory out right away because I At that point I looked down the busy highway. There was no sign had not touched that lever in over a thousand miles. This left me of a hand brake drum. To hell with it, I thought. A quick peek under coasting to the side of the highway, optimistically pondering what sort the Rover confirmed I wasn’t prone to loosing more parts, or more of small mishap could have caused my temporary lack of power, prone than usual at least. So I hopped back in the truck and drove to when the rear wheels suddenly locked up and start skidding, oh joy! Vermont. The last day of driving went smoothly; in fact it turns out that Luckily the skidding only lasted a second, but the optimism was per - my truck is more fuel-efficient in front wheel drive.

The extreme heat had causes my When I was safely in the grass on the side of the highway, battery's water to evaporate. After opening the battery ports and I crawled under the Rover to have a look-see. The immense amount pouring distilled water in, the gauge started to read normally again. of smoke from the rear differential was the only clue this home My Defender 110 had made it home against all odds. All in all it was mechanic needed to diagnose the problem. I smoked the rear diff, kind of fun, but I hope not to have any more excitement of this nature literally. My next thought was automatic: What do I need to do to get for some time. home in front wheel drive? Because there ain’t no way am I hanging I would later discover the fill plug of the diff. was missing, that’ll out in whatever nondescript flat State I am in right now, in a town do it. My dad ask the pertinent question “how did you forget to put whose primary purpose is to service the trucking industry that rolls the fill plug in?” What?!

[Diana Fisher couldn’t wait for her second year in Oregon off- west and started with Jeep Trail. It had been a rough winter in the roading. Here’s her report –ed.] Tillamook Forest and there was a multitude of downed trees. Someone had run the trail and had cut sections out of the logs that I bought my ’98 Discovery II new in Denver , CO and belonged to a were blocking the trail leaving a gap wide enough for an ATV. Our Rover Club there. Although I went out with the dealership crew first obstacle was just such a log that Doug winched off the road. more than with the club, I felt like I had a fair amount of “off-road” No big deal. We encountered several logs of this type and either experience on the old mining trails of the Colorado Rockies. I must nudged or pushed or pulled each just enough to allow our Rovers say, until I moved to Oregon, I had only been on one run with to pass. another woman driver! She was 82 and walked with a cane, but Then we found the big obstruction. Two large tree stumps had she could drive her Range Rover with no problems and she and I washed down a hillside and onto the trail . A live tree stood to the were able to drive all of Pearl Pass outside of Aspen in our Rovers left of the trail and a huge old growth stump landed to the right, unassisted (as in did not have to be towed or winched)! with the trees falling across the trail. An opening had been sawed Then I moved to Oregon. through that was actually wide enough to permit a Rover to pass I was delighted to find out that not only were there women with about an inch to spare, IF only the large stump was not drivers, but there was even a Women’s run! I went on one two blocking the opening. It would take more than a tug or a nudge to years ago , when Steve Schoenfelder, from Warn, gave a winching move this obstacle. Doug and Pamela rigged a snatch block that lesson and I discovered there was a multitude of women Rover would pull the stump away from the sawed opening. It took three drivers and that the “off-roading” in Oregon could be quite sets of the rigging and winching to move the massive tree trunk. challenging! Quite impressive! During the winching we kept well out of harm ’s Scouting for the Women’s Run way. Pamela was standing just uphill from me and leaned on a Pamela Petroff sent out a message asking if anyone was dead tree for balance, which immediately broke off at the ground interested in going with her on her scouting run to drive the trails and toppled in my direction. We both screamed and then laughed; for the Spring Women’s Run , to be held April 7. Each spring for the environment is indeed fragile. I suggested to Pamela that the the last seven years Pamela has organized an off road event for the obstacle we had just driven through is too narrow to bring a string women drivers in the Pacific Coast Rover Club. She said that this of cars through; otherwise, Jeep Trail is just plain fun! She just year’s scouting shouldn’t be anything too difficult. Right ! smiled! As we all know, it had been raining since November 1st of last After the Jeep Trail, we ran a few others: Zig Zag and Fire Fox. year and although the prediction was for a clear day, it was raining. By the end of Fire Fox, I’m tired, I’m ready to go home and I’ve Two cars were on the scouting run: Doug Shipman’s hybrid Series , escaped without body damage. We started back to the main road. with Pamela as shotgun/navigator and my stock Discovery, with a Instead of staying on the highway, Doug turns off and starts up friend, Dennis Christen as shotgun. We were supposed to drive Roger’s Road (it was closed at the top, but not at the bottom so we Roger’s Road, but it was temporarily closed so we headed further decided to scout it). Dennis said just to tell them that I’m not going
48 on, but I decide to go anyway. About halfway up we come to a wet, muddy switchback which Doug in his armored tank, has trouble navigating. I decide I’m not going to try it. Dennis said he would go up and tell them that I’m turning around. After talking to them a few minutes, Doug came back and said that I wouldn’t want to turn around here and to go ahead and try it and if I can’t make it he will winch me through it. (He said that if you’ve never been winched you’ve never really off-roaded.) Within moments, I have slammed sideways into the embankment and indeed Doug winches me out. (I guess now I’ve really off-roaded! Ha!) It dawned on me later that Dennis didn’t even tell them I wasn’t going to go on. I ask him about it and he muttered a very quiet “no.” The Spring Women’s Run – April 7th Again, the prediction was for a clear day, but alas, the day started with a drizzle. We had 8 vehicles with at least one woman driver each, ranging in age from 15 to 60 -something. My car contained the 60 -somethings : my friend, Char White, who went on the Rover All Over Rally with me and loved it; and my friend, Janie Birdsong, who had never been off-roading. In fact, Janie was vac - illating because she was supposed to be cooking Easter dinner for her family the next day and needed to prepare, but when her son heard her potential plans, he said by all means go, so she did. We had a mix of Range Rovers, Discoverys and, of course, Lil Red, Pamela’s late Series II-A . This group of able bodied (and vehicled) women headed out for the trails. Even in the rain, it was a day of fun for all. The heavy precipitation held off for the morning. When we came to the “tree stump obstacle” Doug expertly spotted each vehicle through the narrow space. We had 8 unharmed vehicles successfully navigate the challenge. At the lunch stop, of course, the heavens opened. After lunch I thought we were probably finished for the day, Char commented that the Lil Red, the lead vehicle, was going up a mud trail. I said that I thought that she was just turning around. Low and behold, she was going up the trail! Although Pamela had no trouble negotiating the terrain, the second vehicle barely rounded the first switchback and the third couldn’t make it up the slick, muddy slope. By word of mouth (I don’t have the right radio so I just hear gossip) we heard that the vehicle behind Pamela was also stuck. After some discussion, it was decided that too much dam - age would be done to the trail if we pursued this track, so we all got good practice backing down the muddy hillside. From there, Pamela led us to the Fire Fox trail. Total fun! Hill, muddy, rocky, tree rooty enough to be quite challenging, but not treacherous enough to wound anyone’s pride. Our day concluded at the Apolloni Vineyards where we drew for goodies from our sponsors, Rovers North, Land Rover Portland and the Hillsboro Police Department while sharing appetizers, tast - ing the great wines and chatting about our experiences! All of us drivers want to thank the guys that rode along and helped spot and were great passengers! Thanks to Doug, Pamela and our sponsors for their efforts and support ! ______ ______
