Dear all,
Have just joined this Zone as the proud but ignorant owner of a Series III petrol-guzzling work of art.
One question tho: as someone who's not that technically gifted (I can change a wheel, do oil, water etc., but that's about it), what's my best bet for getting to know my beast?
I'm way short of taking it apart and putting in back together. Well I could probably take it apart .....
Haynes is a bit dry to say the least!
Thanks for all suggestions,
Nick

If you own a series landy for a while you probably will take it all apart and put it back together again, bit by bit, as things break or wear out. To own one is to learn how to fix one. Plenty of good advice on here if you get stuck.

Look on here for a copy of the Land Rover operations manual and the parts list too. Then buy some tools, big ones (half inch sockets, long spanners, heavy hammers, cold chisels etc.) and start rebuilding bits. We're all here to help. Well, most of us.

I was going to suggest posting in the series section but I see you've already found it. Don't forget to search for answers before asking silly questions!
