Trim the front Valence, add a steering guard with some recovery points; fit a farm hitch on the rear tow bracket as rear recovery point; buy maps, and lots and lots of fuel, 'cos if you wanna go green-laning, you gonna be driving to England, Scotland ent got none!

No More Leaded Four Star With 4-Star now unobtainable, and LRP getting scarce, what can you do to use Unleaded Petrol? A quick look at the ways this problem can be addressed to keep your old landy running on modern fuels. If you fancy a bit of reading up on the topic. If you fancy...

Depends on your priorities & circumstances. Is boot-space or sill clerance important, what kind of driving do you do, short hops kill ecconomy anyway, but with warm up time can allow minimal time on gas, and then there's how available the stuff is around you or the routes you take. Basically the...

Well, the 'New' Microsoft Autoroute 'Europe' was released in November, and I have just aquired a copy. Deliberated long & hard over GPS 'stuff', working towards a lap-top & GPS-mouse based system to run Mem-Map for green-laning, but got the G-F a Garmin back in November so she could find my...

We're not trying to put the girl off, Meds, WANTING an 'iconic' Landy is fine and dandy, but in this case, she'd be a dang site better off getting a slitty to set up her business and get some money coming in. Nothing stopping her using the 'change' from what she suggested spending on the 90...

"Sorry mate, no I dont have any of the old MOT Certs, utility people just chuck the cars into auction, we get them as is....... I'll put a fresh 'ticket' on it for you though for when you collect if you buy, cant say farer than that can I?" And while VOSPA may have three or four years of MOT...

OK, to offer my four-penneth. 90's fetch a premium. People keep bandying the £2k figure about for the ones you are looking at, but frankly I'm surprised, some of them should know better; Its generally accepted £2k is ENTRY price for a 90, and for that sort of money most offerings will...

How do you make your Lasagne? Do you pre-cook the pasta, or do you cook in the sauce? I cook in the sauce... comes out firmer. Do you layer, pasta, bolognese, cheese sauce, pasta? or do you use cheese instead of cheese sauce, or cheese AND sauce? I use cheese, then when all layered up, cover...

Anuva great day, Kit..... another half ton of clay to clean off the chassis & flush down the drains! 'Twas a bit..... err........ MUDDY! GREAT STUFF!

Did you view the U-tube clips I posted on your clutch question? Tells you what you should do to a series before wading to stop water drowning the electrics......... First check depth of water before you drive through it...... Second if deeper than the wheel hub, loosen the fan belt to stop...

Short answer, its a 1971 Land-Rover 109. There were more differences between early SII's and late, than there were between last SII's and teh SIII's which saw very little change in thier entire production run. Very last of the line SIIA's used an awful lot of SIII parts as they were...

There's a hole in the bottom of the bell-housing 'kid. vents the chamber. When you go wading there is a bolt you re supposed to screw into it to stop the bell-housing filling with water & muck, which will wreck the clutch plates! Its an agge old right of passage to learn about it 'the hard...

You took the time to re-format the post very carefully.... shame you didn't READ what I said as carefully....... 'Clearance' is a term that applies wherever parts might come into contact... like steering clerances or wheel clerances, even valve clerances, NOT just axle clerance under the...

Being brutal...... Buy a defender, and mess with that. Before making such extreme mods though, you really ought to be asking, in big letters..... WHY? Lifting landies is trendy..... trouble is its done most often simply becouse 'thats what every-one does'.... without much thought for what...

There is a little known bit of legislation about petrol; we have two grades, summer and winter, and every autumn we get a spate of curiouse 'fuel maledy' questions crop up, when, by law, the petrol stations have to switch from summer grade to winter. Shouldn't REALLY effect the running of the...

Its called 'spring Over Axle' or SOA; do a search on it, its been oft asked, and generally concluded to NOT be a good idea. Gives extreme 'lift', but no more clerance under the axle, so mot many "pro's" While on the "Cons'" side, you get loads of maledies. Main attraction is it 'looks' easy...

Take a Brake! A Step By Step Guide to Replacing Pads, Disks & Overhauling Callipers. Often when the pads need changing, the callipers could do with attention too, as the pistons tend to stick, so with new disks needed as well as pads, I decided to look at all three jobs in one go.

Upper tail gate. As they rot they start to flex. Interior light staying on is early sign they are about to give up, as the frame isn't pushing the interior lamp switch all the way down. While driving bumps make the frame flex. So lamp will flicker on or off, depending on how loose it all is...

Its not the hub that needs stripping to change the seal its the swivil housing..... means taking half the axle apart. Common to drain and bung in a one-shot sachet of graphite grease, but that only lubes the CV joint in the drive shaft, it doesn't properly lube the swivil pins that the axle...
