    Cracking honest vlog. Cut and shut steel chassis is just wrong. I agree with a galvanised one. The USA need to have a rethink.

      @@wearemahker your rebuilds are really good for inspiration as I am trying to tidy up my station wagon. Your 330D will go straight into a td5 or will you need replacing the engine mounts? I like the off roading video. I stay in the Highlands Scotland and there's no pay and play not as easy to go off-roader here.

      @@PHIL-BRO unfortunately the bmw swap requires new mounts, we prefer to couple the bmw to the 6 speed from the puma as we can build the mt82 to take the power 💪

    Great quality, upgrades and fun. Can you help us Americans understand how you are able to send this Defender through US Customs with an LS- a non-original engine?

    • @wearemahker
      @wearemahker  Před rokem

      We don’t send them through customs with anything other than the original these cars are for the uk

    hi guys, awesome job on the defenders,
    i would like to know if i can put in my defender 110 sw 1996 6 speed transmission, and if i have to make any modifications, or what adapter is best for me.
    keep making awesome videos''

    Great Video! Beautiful TDI 200 motors! Do you favour the TDI over the TD5?

    • @wearemahker
      @wearemahker  Před rokem

      To be honest we just love the simplicity of the Tdi we’ve never had one actually die.
      On the td5’s we’ve spent days finding cracked heads/fuel pump issues /loom faults oils in looms/injection faults mushroomed nozzles.
      But then we’ve had a few very sweet Td5’s like the G4 in our Videos.

    • @captarmour

      @@wearemahker Thanks so much for your quick reply! you guys are the best!! I'll look up the G4 video.
      I have TDI 200. I'm wondering if I swap into my 2006 TD5 110 the TDI would the traction control be able to work?
      One more question, how difficult is it to get a low mileage TD5 motor?

    If someone was to order a brand new Bowler spaceframe chassis with their custom build,, would the VIN number be considered original, in light of the fact that Bowler belongs to the Land Rover company?

    • @wearemahker
      @wearemahker  Před 3 lety

      That’s something you’d have to ask Bowler

    • @stephenlyttleton9032
      @stephenlyttleton9032 Před 3 lety

      I brought over a Defender 90, replaced the chassis before Texas inspection. The sheriff told me to just stamp the original VIN on the new chassis. I don't think customs would care either if the new one was stamped with the original VIN (not sure they would know the difference).

    Your upgrade chassis advice on 110 300Tdi: Richards or Marshland?
