Hello
I need some expert and friendly advice on Defender payload allowances and possible ways to convert or upgrade a vehicle from Standard to Heavy Duty configuration.
According to Land Rover, the Defender 110 Station Wagon has a maximum payload allowance of 1009Kg there being no Heavy Duty option available. Considering that the [Heavy Duty] Hard Top is available with a maximum 1494Kg payload allowance, what components are different on the standard and Heavy Duty 110 Defender models mentioned above?
Also how easy is it to upgrade the station wagon adding maybe another 400Kg to the payload allowance. Are there authorised companies (UK) who can do the work and if so, how much should I expect to pay? In addition, would the work undertaken invalidate the manufacturers original warranty?
Hope someone can help?
Best Wishes
