Tom Whalley –
I’ve had the M57 6HP Defender conversion kit installed and have been driving it for about a week now. The fitment is spot on and everything works exactly as it should. Gear changes are smooth, the power delivery feels perfect for the Defender, and the whole setup feels solid. Really impressed with the quality. Highly recommended for anyone doing this swap.
