Welcome to the Journal. Here we’ll be sharing some of our latest projects, a behind the scenes look at Pangaea and some useful guides all about the Defender.
Defender Upgrades: Td5 Engine
Increasing the performance of the Td5 engine has a big advantage in that it’s controlled by an ECU. We offer two packages, a basic Stage 1 ECU tune and a fully fledged Stage 2 which see numbers in excess of 210hp and 450Nm or torque!
Defender Upgrades: 300Tdi Engine
With its mechanical fuel injection system, squeezing more power out of a 300Tdi isn’t as easy as getting your laptop out. There are however a number of performance parts and upgrades that can be fitted to great increase its power output.
Defender Upgrades: Gear Ratios - Should you change them?
One modification or upgrade that’s frequently talked about is either changing the 5th gear ratio in the R380 gearbox or altering the LT230 transfer box ratio from 1.4 to 1.2. What’s the difference, and which one is best for you?
Case Study: The NC Commission
A look at our NC Commission, a Tier 2 built undertaken at the of 2023 and delivered early 2024 for a client in North Carolina, US. This Defender 90 was a bespoke build who wanted to add a Soft Top to his wonderful collection.
Defender Upgrades: Wheels and Tyres
The wheels and tyres fitted to a Defender cannot just transform how the vehicles looks, but also the way it handles on and off road. We take a dive into some of the most popular options, and what each has to offer.
Defender Upgrades: Air Conditioning
One of our most requested upgrades or options is perhaps unsurprisingly Air Conditioning. With most of our Defender destined for the US where temperatures regularly nudge 100 degrees, it’s one option that’s more essential than desirable.
Defender Upgrades: LED Lights
Anyone that driven a Defender for any length of time at night will know how underwhelming the headlights are. Whilst modern filament bulbs can make up for their shortcomings, upgrading to a proper set of LED headlights is the best solution!
