The Marsland Defender Chassis manufactured by GKN, specification typed by Marsland                    SUPPLIED WITH AN INSURANCE ACCEPTED GKN AUTOSTRUCTURES LIMITED CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY ​
Every 90, 110 and 130 Defender was built onto a Steel Chassis. Land Rover only coated the chassis with nothing more than paint!

This means that chassis are subject to rust. We have been changing rusting Chassis for the Galvanized option for over 25 years and have completed hundreds of jobs over the years.

The PROCESS 

The chassis is  dipped into a vat of hot zinc which fills up all the cavities inside and outside the chassis. This coating stops the chassis rusting, although the galvanising is very tough we do recommend that the chassis are clear waxoyled, or even better are fully powder coated (with a choice of finishes). 
Powder coating stops the Galvanising turning corrosive which can occur when in contact with salt over long period of time.
 
​We are Marsland Official Stockist and fitment centre.
​
We use Marsland chassis - We do not compromise on the quality of the parts or workmanship and our aim is to not just change the chassis, but listen to what you the customer requires in this process.
​We normally require your vehicle for 7-14 days. We can also supply a loan car if required (this is subject to the work required).
