Howdy folks, thought I'd better finally join this forum since whenever I Google any of the many, many problems I encounter as the keeper of three Land Rovers, most of the results seem to be from LandyZone!!
I've owned Land Rovers since 2015, but loved them since I was a kid bouncing across a field in my Grandfather's
Mattilda (1980 88" 2¼ petrol) was my first, bought in June 2015, then came The Biggun last September (1975 109, currently in the final stages of converting to 200tdi rather than the Nissan LD28 it had when bought) and Manito the 2002 Freelander td4 auto replaced a VW Polo last December. Of the three only Mattilda is currently working as Manny's gearbox is playing silly buggers!!

Welcome aboard. Nice little collection you have.
Tyre and rim combo on the hippo looks cool. Much prefer the steelies. You know what they are?
 
Welcome and here some snaps to help your fun on the Loonyzoo.

Thanks all for the welcome! Since joining I'm now up to 2 working Landies, having replaced the faulty line pressure duty solenoid (and 2-4 brake duty while I was in there) in the Hippo's gearbox - who knew gearboxes had so many electronics?!!

Hi weemac, as far as I know the steelies are just big standard modulars - I picked up the set of 5 from eBay for £50. Tyres are Toyo Open Country AT+ in 205/80r16
