Donegal man here. We're getting there
Jeez guys I've been.busy and haven't been on here at all lately but I'm delighted to see we have lads over here who love landys. Merry Christmas to all and maybe in the new year we can all talk and maybe look at a meet. I know a few good spots around the Wicklow mountains. And then have no problem teaching a little cross country driving to anyone who has little experience.
Hi guys, New Irish forum member here. Just out of college and working away saving for my first landrover. Learned to drive in a series 1 years ago!
On the look out for a LR in the new year! Would love to attend a meet up of any kind with the hope of meeting a few of you and learning about and admiring your landrovers!

I have a freelander, haven't tried proper off roading yet.. Although its been up a very steep hill in deep snow I've done a bit of green laning and its pulled 60+ bags of turf in a mesh sided 8x4 metal trailer out of the bog for me.. They get a bad press on this site ..
From looking around on facebook it seems there was a meeting taking place this past weekend which I was unable to attend. Would be great to organise something in the new year. I'm hoping some kind folks might give me a spin in a td5 as that's the one I reckon i'll go for - depending on budget etc. I've read on other threads here that it's important to drive/experience a couple of td5s before test driving one to buy, as you will have a better idea as to what to expect or look out for.

Hi guys, another fellow Ireland based land rover owner here!! I have a Disco 2 TD5 and a Freelander 1 TD4.
The last gathering was indeed at the 27th and there were 49 Land Rovers from very old to very new.
You can join the facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/landroversireland/
It is called Land Rover owners Ireland and it is a great facebook page where you can buy and sell your LR stuff.
The next meeting is scheduled for April. It is great craig!!!

I used the freelander for off roading and it is great. It would challenge the Disco no bother. You need some good all terrain tyres though!

Another member here from the real capital-Cork.I have a black 90 and a series 2a.Im also at a couple of long term projects ,series 3 v8.Whats the attraction with these landys?They are not comfortable.They are noisy.They have a crap heater.They leak every where.Every time I break I get a shower on my leg and yes I have replaced door seals roof seals etc.But I still love them, hard to explain.My teenage kids think I'm mad,they don't see the attraction.They think they are the nearest thing to a road going tractor you can get!
This is great! I'll keep an eye on the facebook group about upcoming events that tulipandthistle was on about and perhaps we can all arrange to be the newbies at the next meeting! Hopefully I'll have mine by then 
Hi Fran,i've only joined this site yesterday.i'm going getting my 1st landy next week,it's a 1989 landrover 90.Tis nice to know there are other irish users on this site.Hopefully if i have any questions they'll be answered both sides of the water

I will be there for sure unless something very important comes up (which I doubt)This is great! I'll keep an eye on the facebook group about upcoming events that tulipandthistle was on about and perhaps we can all arrange to be the newbies at the next meeting! Hopefully I'll have mine by then
you can come along without a Landy as well. That is no problem, it's a bunch of Landy mad people coming together for a drive and a pint.

Was looking everywhere to get a spare key and fob .. Very expensive.. But found this man in cork.. €60 plus vat all in.. Couldn't believe it. I'm in Donegal but he comes to Sligo once a month so I set up a meet with him for then..
