You'll find that here - click. Britpart Cellular Dynamic The Britpart Cellular Dynamic Shock Absorber represents a significant advance in Land Rover suspension systems. It features a cellular foam insert instead of a normal nitrogen gas or air, this is to stop the oil from boiling. The foam takes up less room which means more room for oil, 50% more, which offers maximum heat dispersion. This heat dispersion translates to a very subtle but controlled ride that will not fade no matter how hard you push them. They are ideal for a driver who needs more control to complement performance improvements or to enhance a standard vehicle. The unique design ensures ride comfort and cornering ability is maximised and of course they are superb off-road. > Cellular technology tube> Sintered 18mm rod> Reinforced welded mounts> Polyurethane bush> Single piece eye ring> Heavy-duty powder coating DC6000 Range Rover Classic/Discovery 1/Defender FrontDC6000L Range Rover Classic/Discovery 1/Defender 50mm Lift FrontDC6001 Range Rover Classic/Discovery 1/Defender RearDC6001L Range Rover Classic/Discovery 1/Defender 50mm Lift RearDC6002 Range Rover P38 - air suspension FrontDC6003 Range Rover P38 - air suspension RearDC6010 Discovery 2 FrontDC6011 Discovery 2 RearDC6004 Defender Steering damperDC6005 Range Rover Classic/Discovery 1/Series Steering damperDC6009 Discovery 2 Steering damper Britpart Super Gaz These shock absorbers from Britpart offer a 35mm bore tube filled with Fuchs shock absorber fluid, using the best seal available, single piece eye rings, polyurethane bush mounts and a very durable powder coated finish.

Privacy Policy | Disclaimer | Site Map || "A Land Rover is less of a car than a state of mind." from review of the 1964 Series Land Rover by Car and Driver magazine I own a 1960 Land Rover Series II 109 that I purchased in 1978. I have named her "The Green Rover". During the years that I have owned her I have learned her mechanical limits and my driving limits. With practice I've learned to expand my driving limits and have modified my Series Land Rover's limits where needed for the type of travel I like to do. I originally purchased my Land Rover to work as a ranch vehicle but as wanderlust set in she spent more time traveling than working on the ranch. After a while I gave in and transformed her into a long range expedition Land Rover. I tend to travel alone with an Irish Wolfhound, good books and a camera. I'm prone towards a gypsy style of travel where destinations are optional and not necessarily desirable. Some days I stop in one location and wait several hours for the sun to move into the right location for a picture and other days never break camp because I'm trapped in a good book. About the only time I pay attention to schedules and preplanned routes is when I'm leading a tour. Over the years My Series Land Rover, dogs and I have meandered through North America, East - West from coast to coast and North - South from about half way up Canada to the Mexican border. The majority of my Land Rover travels tend to be in the greater Four Corners area. The longest I've been out on a single Land Rover camping trip so far is 3 months. During the years that I have maintained and traveled with The Green Rover I have learned and experienced a number of things I would like to share. There is lots of good stuff here. I have tried to arrange the contents to help you quickly locate things of interest. As an alternative to the subject contents below, you can look in the index which is an alphabetical list of topics.

The project may never get completed. So rather than keep my writing to myself I'm sharing parts of it as I write. Land Rover Caravans - Dormobile, Carawagon, Park-Ranger, Land-Rover Explorer and X-PANDA-CAB Land Rover Dormobiles Land Rover based camping conversions manufactured by Martin Walter Ltd. The Green Rover features a Dormobile conversion kit rescued from a wrecked Land Rover Dormobile. Carawagons Land Rover based camping conversion made by R.J. Searle Ltd.

Early style Land Rover Dormobile wing badge The following is from a 1966 Dormobile brochure with minor revisions: Freedom WHEN YOU BUY A DORMOBILE CARAVAN YOU BUY A NEW WAY OF LIFE Consider these 10 DORMOBILE Freedoms: FREEDOM to ignore holiday hotel worries - and bills FREEDOM to live comfortably and easily in the open air, out on the trail FREEDOM to decide and then go - straight away - for a month, a week, a day FREEDOM to drive without tiresome towing, preplanned end of day destinations or even paved roads FREEDOM to tour - Moab or The Badlands - and take your home with you FREEDOM to take advantage of those spare moments - those crisp, clear winter days - when owners of other 4x4's stay at home FREEDOM to eat what you like, when you like and cooked how you like it FREEDOM to sleep - comfortable and secure - at the end of an exciting day FREEDOM to enjoy outdoor interests - fishing, boating, climbing, photography, walking, beach combing- or just looking ABOVE ALL FREEDOM to relax, in your mobile home, away from the everyday routine and stress of modern life. MARTIN WALTER LTD. A high percentage of the Land Rovers taken around the world are Dormobiles. On a per model basis I strongly suspect that Dormobiles are the most traveled model of Land Rover. Every person who purchased a Land Rover Dormobile from Martin Walter had travel in mind, often long distances to exotic locations. I'm always happy when I see another Land Rover caravan out on the trail still exploring the world.

This unique initiative is managed by Climate Care. What Are CO2 Offsets: CO2 offsetting is about funding (investment) in projects across the world, which avoids or reduces CO2 emissions ensuring that the amount saved balances the original emissions. CO2 offsetting provides a mechanism to take action and responsibility for the CO2 that we produce. The programmes focuses on 3 key offset project types: a) Renewable energy - replacing non renewable fossil fuels such as oil, coal which when burnt produce CO2 by renewable energies such as solar and wind which produce no CO2 b) Technology change - new technologies which avoid or reduce CO2 such as clean burning charcoal stoves c) Energy efficiency - improving efficiency to reduce the amount of energy needed, such as using energy efficient lighting Additionally many of these projects deliver additional environmental and social benefits such as conserving wildlife habitats and species, and providing employment for communities. Existing Vehicle Offsets: Owners of vehicles sold before the introduction of the new vehicle programme, or for whom the original offset mileage is exceeded, can purchase offsets. This incorporates elements of the new vehicle scheme, but invests in Climate Care's general portfolio of offset projects. What Will I Receive You will receive, a Vehicle Window Sticker and a certificate from Climate Care confirming your participation.

After all they are just a small part of what makes for the performance of a Rover, right? - Wrong! Suspensions make the difference between a good going 4x4 and a fantastic one. All that needs to be changed, at least on Rovers, is the suspension. So why this? Off road the keyword is traction. Keep all wheels on the ground all the time and you will have traction if the wheel grips. A wheel off the ground means immediate loose of traction on that axle if you don't have diff locks. And if now the wheel with the least traction on the other axle breaks loose as all the torque is now applied to that wheel- than you're stopped. You think this doens't apply to you as you only do some gentle greenlaning. Ha! Remember that steep hill you encountered last time? Now what had happened if you had to back down all the way from the top in reverse? No fun, eh? The ability of an suspension to flex is most important off road. In the 80's the need for an standardized measuring instrument came up and the folks in the States invented the Ramp and the Ramp Travel Index. See how well an otherwise stock 90 does on that ramp. Now for some modifications. You can already do a good job if you use either softer or longer genuine LR shocks. Look in this table to find out what suits your car. Bill Ritchie uses, among other modifications, a Desert Rover suspension. Jim's red 90 uses an OME suspension. Sean Murphy scores a perfect 1000 on the ramp. Chris Hinkle even tops this at 1300. A long travel suspension on a Discovery (19.2.) by Ho Chung. So what are the differences in suspension designs? This is a hard question as most manufacturers don't their products to be seen in detail on the Net. But we managed, with the help of fellow LR drivers, to get these reports. The Safari Gard Stage II suspension, the Safari Gard Stage III suspension, the coil-over setup from Chris Hinkle. New in 2001 is the Rovertym suspension on a Discovery I. Lee suspensions in the UK make also some very interesting parts as does Fabitron in the US. Some of us prefer leaf springs. After 3 years with a 110, I know why I love my Series III. Read here Takeo's point of view. (Annette) Wheels and tires belong to the suspension. An ever reoccuring debate goes over what fits and what hits. Here a comprehensive list of tried-and-tested setups. In this list you will see the term "fender trimming. Here you can see how to do it. Wheels aren't wheels. Here a short page of differences between steel and alloy. Many a Landrover is blessed with wheel wobble, especially Discoveries and Range Rovers. This means you get a feeling of something moving in the front axle and your tires act as if they have a life of their own. Here's how to diagnose and cure this. Changing the shocks is a simple job- or so I thought until I had to go through this. Also here's a possible cure for shimmy steering on coil sprung vehicles. What to do if your Range Rover sacks on the rear? It's most likely the self-leveling unit. Read here how to replace that expensive Boge unit with an simple coil. But what does the factory on the new models to improve suspension? The Active Cornering Enhancement ACE was introduced on the Disco II as well as other completely new parts of the suspension. ABS brakes come up and are now almost standard on new models. Luckily the system is now better than it was on the first Range Rovers that were plagued with it. Still having trouble off road? Look at the Four Wheel Steering page, this might be the answer for you. Not enough? Look at our index of extreme modifications.or at the Suspension modifications table but they may well contain the same info. Here you find a translation table of the most important technical terms in english - german - finnish - swedish - french. Look also at our other tech pages to see features on fitting engines, lockers and other assorted stuff to your toy. Here's the Engine and Drivetrain page. -Alain-
