IF SPECIAL FORCES OLLIE OLLERTON CHOSE US FOR A LAND ROVER, SHOULDN'T YOU? | MAHKER WEEKLY EP017

This week Ollie Ollerton paid us a visit to take a look at some of our builds and chat to Dave about how to convert his own Land Rover Defender 110. Ollie is a former UK Special Forces Soldier and directing staff (DS) from Channel 4's SAS: Who Dares Wins. Like Dave, he served in the Royal Marines.

Cool to see Ollie in the workshop.

[@gr0wler147]

The skill and professionalism is incredible. So proud it Brits too. Wish I could afford one

[@Boris-sq2us]

Well…..”basically”, probably one of my favourite videos 😁👍 Well done guys. Keep the videos going.

[@milliondollarwhippet8515]

Love it. I have come home on a Saturday night to something mint to watch.

[@Andy-Mc]

Look forward to seeing you get hold of Oli’s landy!

[@starskymedia]

These are some of the most incredible, amazing defender builds I've ever seen. However, I do have a challenge for each of the owners - send a photo in 1 year of each time you've actually taken one of these works of art off road!

Fabulous Enginnering Skills I really can’t praise Dave and his team more highly. I have the G4 that has featured in a couple of the Mahker KZbin episodes. My G4 has been ‘tinkered’ with in the past with the standard remapping, big intercooler and other mods, these improved it but it never felt ‘right’, until it’s time at 4x4 Fabrictions. It’s been in twice this year and Dave and the team have gone above and beyond to make sure I was happy. On the first occasion I was working down south and on my return on a Friday afternoon I had lost 5th gear and was struggling with other gears. I had visited a couple of years previously to pick up some parts and as I was passing 4x4 Fabrictions I called in to ask for their advice. This was 3pm on a Friday. The gearbox was done for and I was due at a Festival on the South Coast the following Thursday, towing a caravan and Tipi tents for ourselves and other families. Dave made some calls, called in some favours and managed to get hold of an uprated clutch and gearbox for early the next week. I left the Land Rover with them and cheekily asked if they could do a few other jobs while it was in. On Monday they fitted a host of interior trim upgrades, dropped the knacker gearbox and fitted new Fox 2.0 suspension all round. Tuesday came and went with the upgraded Winchester gearbox being being built with a strengthened high 5th gear. Wednesday morning came and Dave told me the team would fit the box and clutch as soon as it arrived knowing I was setting off at 6am the next morning. The gearbox arrived in the afternoon and when I arrived at 5pm it looked like an F1 pit crew at work. The team stayed until the G4 was all back together and a test drive carried out. Amazing customer service. The second visit was to sort out the previous bad mapping and set up. Two days later and the car runs like a Swiss watch and pulls like a train thanks to Dean’s TD5 magic, customised map to suit my requirements (low down torque and no smoke, a CR Turbos VNT, upgraded cooling system and a custom built 3” stainless cat back exhaust. Amazing The standard of craftsmanship really can’t be beat. Thanks once again Dave ps what’s the lead in time on a big brake kit, the G4 definitely needs it now!

[@wearemahker]

Thanks Simon I’m glad we helped you get to that festival it’s all about why I do what I do making people happy in and about their land Rovers after all they are part of the family 🙏🥰

Beautiful beast's 🤟🤠

[@jxshy5398]

This is amazing the sheer quality and detail is phenomenal, love the channel and the quality of work from welds to builds is just outstanding, will defo be following progress on the work you do!

[@BigArch6564]

Great vlog....just what I have been waiting for. A full walk through of the art of the possible. Keep sharing!

[@urbanjungle9600]

Every week I watch and every week my jaw drops! The quality of your work and craftsmanship is astounding. Cannot wait for the next video to drop.

[@wearemahker]

Thanks so much for your words let me know if you’d like to see anything specific

[@daveprice9090]

Great Sunday lunchtime watching. Candid straight talk, (pretending I understand all the tech jargon) Just fantastic to see somebody producing first rate motors with no compromise, but with commitment and passion. Keep up the good stuff.

[@wearemahker]

Thanks Dave

[@chriss4925]

Ha Ha. Love that Sam moved the coke bottle. Cracked me up :-) Ollie was like a kid in your candy shop. Great episode. What you're doing at Mahker is incredible. My Ultimate Urban 110 looks pretty pedestrian compared to what you've got going on. I hope to come up and see you one day for an LS3.

[@themartiandefender2128]

Really enjoying the content guys, would love to bring my Defender to you one day !

[@carlarthur4442]

Awesome machines , love them , can't afford one but that doesn't stop me from loving the Landy.

[@humu1345]

Keep them coming we love them !

[@sf017s4]

An outstanding operation lads! I'm restoring my 300 Tdi, which won't be a bare metal chassis rebuild unfortunately. But I'm sure I could implement some of your mods. rippa mate!

[@Cous1nJack]

The colour on that 90 is just right. The galv capping, steels and single pane side window are perfect restomod. Much better than Maasai windows and fake puma bonnets etc.

[@harrycraviotto2375]

At least the bearings don’t come from China. Great crew, your guys do a great job of presenting how you do your builds. Seats are important and time in the seat will prove how good they are. Thanks . Ps your crew is your biggest asset, but you already know.

[@jorgeserranolopez825]

Me gusta mucho su trabajo de restauración de Land Rover, es un vehículo histórico, esas asombrosas modificaciones, un gran trabajo, saludes desde San José de Costa Rica.

[@EsBeeQue]

Another brilliant video with decent content. Cheers guys for entertaining us. 👍

[@MrPutman]

It just keeps getting better :) Well done, and keep the videos coming. The team are really coming into their own with the camera around. Closer time-lapse next time please 👍

[@mazavaroo5959]

❤️ 👍 As usual , awesome and very captivating video.

[@fredericoconde2305]

Great job. One of the best defender I've ever seen. What is the color code of the 90?

[@wearemahker]

Thanks sir this is Mid welsh grey

[@ProjectDefender110]

Just come across your channel. Some brilliant watches, keep it up🤟.

[@kevinmoss970]

Content is getting better after every video. Sam's welding corner is cracking.

[@PHIL-BRO]

Dave and his team does it again even the out takes a great 😂 amazing episode. I like to see you do you're land rover defender 90 original country? 👌🏻👍🏻

[@Land_Raver_Defender]

Videos getting better and better. Keep it up lads. Wish I had the funds to give you my truck.

[@lozastbury7279]

Can you please post a link to the roof rack company And advise cost of one for a 110

[@redeyefox05]

Defender Dream World....where's my winning lottery ticket

[@AMLxalex]

What wheels are fitted at 18:11? They look sublime

[@wearemahker]

They are Twisted wheels

[@jonllloyd]

Great video as always. I have Recaros like that in a sports which you lower yourself into. Don't the high sides on the base of the seats make it difficult getting into as you have step up into a Defender?

[@wearemahker]

It’s what our client supplied so we just did as we’re told 👍

[@jonllloyd]

@@wearemahker Are you saying the customer is always right?😁

[@darellkettley6622]

[@Defender-Guy]

Those seats look like they might be a tricky to climb in & out of?

[@wearemahker]

Not at all

[@Defender-Guy]

@@wearemahker Good. I had some similar looking seats in my V8 Ninety and they were tricky to climb in & out of but held you well when you’re in.

[@wearemahker]

@@Defender-Guy sometimes people worry to much about easy access and not about how comfortable you are when seated we’ve found that by tilting the seats back slightly improves comfort & room if you’re 6.3” like myself

[@Defender-Guy]

@@wearemahker Agree. I had a pair of Corbeau LG-1’s in my Defender & they were super comfy when in, but a bit tricky to climb into. I have found it’s important that one’s wife can get in & out easily- fortunately my wife is thin!

[@darrenchard2221]

So . . . My big question is do you do stock, bog standard, mostly unmolested Land Rover? I have a 1992 200tdi 90 in need of much love, it’s still my dream car, had it for best part of 25 years, sadly been off the road for the last 6 as it got ruined by an absolute **** **** ******** of a supposed specialist who has hopefully been thoroughly filled in by an even angrier more disgruntled customer!!!

I don't like electronics in engines and transmission. I prefer everything to remain strictly mechanical. I am interested to know if you have ever built an engine with electrolysis plates that pump hydrogen into the engine, giving greater fuel efficiency?
