Rear Window Anti-Rattle Upgrade
Rattling rear windows can be a huge annoyance in a Land Rover Defender. It not only reduces the driving comfort but the insulation of the vehicle as well, which can mean temperature control problems as well as dust ingress.
Unreal Fendi’s Rear Window Anti-Rattle upgrade is an extremely popular upgrade that leaves our customers letting out a huge sigh of relief and the inability to believe that they had lived with it for so long.
This upgrade requires bringing your Land Rover Defender into our workshop where we replace the factory window gutter material with a new rubber and felt strip that secures the windows properly inside the window guide. This eliminates the rattling entirely.
Making the body of a Land Rover Defender quieter really makes a huge difference to the comfort, especially for the passengers.
An absolute no-brainer for all Fendis that have the factory-fitted rear sliding windows.
Door Solidification
The Land Rover Defender door construction methodology, in its raw state, is a great recipe for rattles. The doors are essentially made from various "skins" of metal, placed together with minimal bonding agent between them. This, coupled with the fact that the components inside are often broken, worn out or simply not put in place correctly, means that closing a Land Rover Defender door often sounds more like dropping a bag of bolts onto the floor from your roof rack.
To remedy this, and give a more premium feel, we introduce special bonding agents between panels, we solidify the window runners, introduce various methods to reduce component movement and add weight to the door to make it feel more premium on the close. We also line the doors with vibration absorbing materials as well as sound ingress restricting material, all acting together to reach the ultimate goal: a Land Rover Defender door that closes with an appropriate thud and makes the passengers feel far more confident from the get go.
In addition to the above, the ease of closing negates the need to slam the door, resulting in far greater longevity of both the door and its internal components! An absolute must in all Fends!!!
Door solidification is done exclusively at our workshop.
Pedal Softening Kit
Improving the comfort of the drive in a Defender is something that we pride ourselves on here at Unreal Fendi. Making it more comfortable to drive doesn’t mean you have to change the overall feel of the vehicle or the factory look. One of our most popular comfort upgrades is our pedal softening kit - The PPOWERmaster bundle. This bundle includes the POWERspring and the POWERmaster cylinder.
This bundle makes your clutch 70% lighter - it honestly feels like a polo clutch!!
If you install the bundle at our workshop we do an additional modification to the pedal box, so that the pedal sits in a comfortable position. If you don't do the pedal modification it sits a little higher than normal once you've installed the parts.
If you are using your current clutch, you can do both of these at the same time. If you were to replace the clutch itself, you would first add the Spring and then 10,000kms later add the Master Cylinder.
Solid Output Shaft Upgrade
“It’s the best thing in the world!” Yotcho, our chief engineer and Defender guru on the LOF output shaft. The unlubricated splines on the unnecessary joint fail in almost every instance in the Fends, some high milage, some low, some medium, one never knows! It goes from perfect to no drive at all! A flatbed is an inevitable and expensive experience which can be prevented entirely by installing a solid output shaft! We think it’s an absolute no-brainer for PUMA owners. We absolutely adore the PUMA, and with some minor tweaks it can be totally reliable and dependable for many, many kms, whilst being comfortable and refined.
Transfer Case Leak Rectification
All Defenders, Discovery 1s and Discovery 2s will have a transfer case leak at one point or another. It will happen. To rectify this we modify the intermediate shaft with a pressed steel bush and then we go one step further. Adding a double seal on the intermediate shaft is where the difference comes!
This service is carried out at our workshop.
