This kit was created by former Formula Ford designer, Indy Car race engineer and Land Rover enthusiast Alan Langridge.

 

In 2022, the first prototype kit was fitted into a Land Rover 90 2.5D for trials. Over a month the Land Rover covered more than 250 miles (400 kms) of trouble-free serious off-road testing. The power transformation was impressive. This D90 had tiny 205 x 16 tyres. On the open road, we were searching for 6th gear! Bigger tyres would have been the answer!

​

After the test, additional modifications were made which included a fully enclosed serpentine belt cover, a Defender 300tdi air cleaner system and an exhaust front pipe that fitted both 2.5D and 2.5TD models. A snorkel to complement the air cleaner system is on the way.

​

In 2023, while the kit was being productionised, pre-production kits were fitted to a 110 2.5TD HCPU and a 90 2.5TD. To date the 110, being the first, has covered over 5000 kms without issue.

​

The first Paddock Spares supplied production kit was delivered to Stand 4x4 Garage in January 2024. This was fitted into a Tithonus.

​

In May 2024, AED installed a kit into a 90TD to use as their demonstrator.
