Since 2013 Range Rovers have been built with aluminium bodies, which require different tools, rivets and bonding methods from steel. A general body shop that welds and hammers an aluminium panel can weaken the structure. Our body team is trained on Land Rover aluminium repair procedures.
From parking scrapes to accident repair we restore panels, replace bonded sections where needed, and paint in a down-draught booth with computerised colour matching so the repair is invisible. Paintless dent removal is available for minor dents where the paint is intact.
Body Repair & Paint on the Land Rover Defender
Whether it is a classic 110 or the new L663 Defender, this is the vehicle that defines the brand. We look after both, from TD5 injector looms to the very latest D300 mild hybrid and the P525 V8.
Engines we cover on this model: 2.0 Ingenium, 3.0 Ingenium P400 MHEV, 5.0 V8, 3.0 D300 diesel, classic TD5 & Puma. Production 1983 – present (L663 & classic). Faults we see most often on the Land Rover Defender include air suspension on l663 after off-road use, ingenium oil dilution on short journeys, classic td5 injector harness oil contamination, and each is diagnosed with the model-specific procedure before any parts are recommended.
