Classic Land Rover Defender Restoration
Land Rover Defender 90: Complete Mechanical & Body Restoration
This classic Land Rover Defender 90 came into the Orbis Yard in need of a new lease on life. The client wanted a full mechanical overhaul and complete exterior restoration to bring it back to its former glory while ensuring it was fully road-worthy and reliable for modern driving.
The Work Performed:
Mechanical Repairs: Full engine out and rebuild, replacement of the clutch, and a complete update of the suspension system.
Bodywork & Paint: We stripped the vehicle down to the bare chassis. Extensive shot blasting and powder coating were done to prevent future rust. Finished off with a premium, factory-finish spray paint in iconic Heritage Green.
Result: A stunning, rugged 4×4 that runs perfectly and looks as good as the day it rolled off the production line.
Jaguar XF Engine Rebuild & Diagnostics
Advanced Diagnostics and Engine Rebuild
The owner of this beautiful Jaguar XF experienced a sudden loss of power and severe engine knocking. After being turned away by a standard garage, they brought it to our specialist team in Glastonbury for a proper diagnosis and repair.
The Work Performed:
Diagnostics: Hooked up to our specialist Jaguar diagnostic software, we pinpointed timing chain failure causing internal engine damage.
Engine Rebuild: Our team carefully extracted the engine and performed a comprehensive rebuild. This included fitting a new cambelt, replacing damaged valves, and deep-cleaning the internal components.
Final Touches: We also completed a full mileage-based service and topped off the air conditioning, ensuring the car was running smoothly and comfortably.
Result: The customer saved thousands compared to a main dealership engine replacement, and the Jaguar is back to delivering the smooth, powerful drive it is famous for.
