Land Rover expedition support and parts supply
We supplied parts and expertise to the owner of this Defender based in Egypt, keeping it reliable on regular desert expeditions. Numerous Land Rovers currently travelling the globe were built or maintained in Yorkshire by our very own Ben Stowe.
Ben has gained his experience the hard way
Here’s Ben carrying out some field repairs to a friend’s Land Rover Discovery in the Moroccan desert. Ben’s ‘Bush Mechanics’ courses are held throughout the year, teaching young and old the basics of repairing and “making do” in the field.
