Some work completed at JWLRS in recent years: please browse the sections below and call to discuss your requirements

    Defender M57 conversion

    1989 Land Rover 110 recently fitted with a BMW M57 engine from a Range Rover L322 TD6.

    This conversion used the BMW ZF GS6 6-speed manual transmission.

    Please get in touch to discuss M57 engine variants and other Land Rover or BMW manual or automatic transmission options suitable for a range of Land Rover models.

      Land Rovers from 1948

      Series Land Rovers make up a high proportion of work at JWLRS, so over the years, tooling has been purchased and manufactured to allow tasks to be undertaken which are beyond the scope of general garages.

        Electrical repairs, upgrades and custom wiring looms

        Many customers wish to upgrade their Series Land Rover's electrical system while retaining a classic appearance. Several voltage regulator boxes have been converted to house modern blade fuse boxes in the JWLRS workshop.

          Competition vehicles

          Over 25 years of involvement with Association of Land Rover Clubs trialling as well as servicing on stage rally and rally-raid events has provided experience of ensuring that vehicles are safe, robust and comply with event regulations.

            Engine conversions

            4.0 GEMS Rover V8 converted to SU carburettors being fitted to a Series IIA 88"

              Mechanical repairs and overhaul

              Some examples of mechanical repairs and overhauls completed for customers in recent years.

                Range Rover and Discovery

                As well as catering for Series and Defender models, Range Rovers and Discoverys can also be catered for, whether it be for repair, restoration, upgrades or conversions.

                  Other rebuilds and repairs

                  Ex MoD V8 110 rebuild

                    Non-Land Rover projects

                    As the name suggests, JWLRS seldom have time to take on non-Land Rover work. However, experience in military, competition, commercial and agricultural vehicles, as well as plant and motorcycles means that occasionally a really interesting job will be considered for a regular customer when time permits. This Willys L4134 engine was rebuilt for a local customer's subtly modified Willys CJ2A Jeep.
