Big hello to all...
Total newbie here, just 2 days into owning a Landy and the insurance is sorted so should be able to take it out for a full ride at the weekend.
Series 2A, J-reg 1971, petrol, SWB, split windscreen, 3 door hard top... mainly blue with white roof.
Have always wanted one so feeling but also a bit in case I'm not up to the task of being an owner of such a vehicle. Any help and advice from more experienced owners will be welcome so apologies in advance if questions asked seem daft! For a kick-off... what's the best manual to get for a novice - Haynes or other?
Thanks all!

Welcome, Get yourself the official LR green workshop manual, it will be your best ever purchase. There is one on Fleabay at the moment, I paid a fiver for mine, bargain, but I have seen them for £40 if LR parts shops.
Give me a shout if you fancy doing some lanes or pay and play days.

Thanks for the advice - have put in a bid on the eBay manuals and also another "non-Haynes" that's on there by Castrol. Are there any useful Internet resources that you're aware of?

Try www.series2club.co.uk for techy stuff or the Forum. Paddocks are probably the best for parts.
