It’s refreshing to see a conversion focused on toughness and durability rather than just power or bragging rights. Well done—this is a thoughtfully executed, slick, and tasteful build from every angle.

This is what a Land Rover needs, not an EV conversion. Top work.

What can i say, hats off Sir, you deserve a knighthood, youve done more for Britain than 10 years worth of parliament, what a machine 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👌

This engine is surely designed to run indefinitely. The conversion is excellent, and JCB serviceability is available worldwide. It's a good choice to use this engine.

Seriously needs a tv gig this guy, great onscreen character, get him on with guy Martin

I used to work for company that did Defender rebuilds, blinged up rubbish for export to the USA. Shiny stuff on top and Britpart underneath.
This is a really well thought-out build and well executed. That engine choice makes total sense, and suits what the vehicle is about.

I don't know why this video appeared on my feed but I watched the whole thing.

Impressive work, & very well produced video.

We had a RRC with a Perkins 4.236 in it. Wouldnt do much more than 55mph but you could pull a fully loaded hay trailer and it wouldn't even notice.

Beautiful build, nice and basic looking, too many people converting Defenders into tarts handbags, that's not what they're about.

Nailed it!!!
I think you made a better vehicle than the folks over at LR were able to.
Design by committee usually results on the worst outcomes of compromise.

timing gears - the holy grail
what a build mate thank you for sharing!!

[nnoddy]

Firstly congrats on a beautiful build and even better attire!

In Australia, we got the Land Rover 110 with the Isuzu 4BD1 (3.9ltrs) from the factory. This is like a modern version of this.

4 cylinder 4.4 litres!!! Forget the BHP, the torque pulses are going to be massive.

The R380 (even when upgraded) struggles with the Isuzu 4BD1T (4 cylinder 3.9 litre) due to the torque.

It is going to be interesting to see how it goes. Why not keep the JCB gearbox with a modified LT230 gear ratios?

Would have been hard to resist going with JCB yellow, but it would have been like 'Big Bird' from Sesame Street coming down the road!!!

Timing gears is the best solutions for far service life so that's why this type of engeneering equip industrials engines. Best conversion that i ever seen for land rover, very good job 👍🏼

[AndreasLH]

That’s a pretty wicked build! Looks lovely. BUT could strap a 3.5 ton JCB on the back and do a tow comparison with a OM606 fitted Defender or maybe M57

I like big 4-cylinder diesel turbos. We do have the 3.9 Isuzu in Australia in our county and 110(perentie ex military) . Good for 1 million km. Transfer case and gearbox are the weak link. Amazing build mate, that's a forever car.

[jameswatts]

That is easily the cleanest defender of any year I've ever seen. Immaculate.

[jirka]

You, people of UK are blessed, that you can make custom car and still can have title. I love how is this very clean and professional rebuild. Its awesome. I wish i can have money and oportunity to build myself also dream cars. Thanks for sharing yours 👍

[leoedward]

What a tasteful build, I admire your restraint and attention to detail!

[davidblackburn]

i so want my range rover to be this well sorted, that is a master piece well done to you

That “because it was… rotten” was sooo prime clarkson!!! Top notch
