The Motoring World
Land Rover is launching its first-ever hybrid models - the Range Rover Hybrid and Range Rover Sport Hybrid - which will deliver outstanding fuel economy, significantly lower CO2 emissions and retain Land Rover鈥檚 renowned capability and performance. Order books in the UK will open from September 10 with first deliveries in early 2014, the two all-aluminium models are based on Land Rover鈥檚 Premium Lightweight Architecture and share an identical powertrain. They are the world鈥檚 first premium diesel SUV hybrids. 鈥淲e are excited to introduce the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Hybrids, the world鈥檚 first hybrid SUVs with legendary Land Rover capability. The addition of a smooth electric drive enhances refinement, cuts CO2 emissions and delivers staggering performance on a par with our SDV8 engine,鈥?said John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director. This 鈥楽ilk Trail 2013鈥?16,000km expedition visits 12 countries and takes in some of the world鈥檚 most challenging roads, passes and trails, including part of the ancient, 4,000 mile Silk Road connecting Asia with the Mediterranean. These are the first hybrids to ever attempt this challenging route.
To do that the trailer hitch has to come off. We usually send the bits of hitch for sand blasting and finishing - preferably powder coat for its durability. The truck is set up on a body lift and the rear of the frame lopped off. The edges are smoothed and any corrosion extending forward is repaired. Then the new frame rail ends are installed. You can see how they slide over the original rails, and the six holes on each side give space for bolting and welding. The gold finish on the frame is a weldable corrosion resistant primer, so the repaired frame won鈥檛 be so quick to go the way of the original. The rear crossmember will take some fabrication as you see, but it鈥檚 not a big deal. These frames also rust and break alongside the right catalyst, and we repair that with plate to strengthen the sides and bottom of the frame for about two feet in that area. Once the frame is repaired we still recommend treatment with Waxoyl. The Waxoyl may not hold on badly rusted and flaking areas but it will significantly slow the progress of corrosion most everywhere else. It's not optimal - applying on rusty frame - but it's the best post-repair preservative I know. We are very pleased to see these new frame rail repair pieces. I predict they will save quite a few truck from the scrap yard! John is a longtime technical consultant to the Land Rover, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche and Rolls Royce Owner's Clubs, and he鈥檚 owned and restored many of these fine vehicles.

This time the failure was not so obvious. There were no leaks at any of the wheels but the fluid was low. When that happens there is only one place to look in most cars - the power brake booster. Indeed, when the master cylinder was pulled back from the booster the technician could see where fluid was leaking and he ordered a new cylinder. The question is, why did this happen two weeks after the first repair? The answer was clear with a little bit of thought. When everything is normal the guts of the master cylinder don鈥檛 move more than a few thousandths of an inch to actuate the brakes. When the system gets bled following repair it moves through a much bigger range, half an inch or more. If the seldom-used reaches of the master cylinder have become roughened by corrosion the act of bleeding the brakes may lead to the internal seals failing. That鈥檚 what happened in Bob鈥檚 case.
