Sorry guys, should have checked a bit further. The company is in administration as of 29 January 2018. I guess they will either wind-up or come out of insolvency at some point. But I certainly wouldn't leave a big deposit with them... :-)

There's a lot of old threads about the above company, and I was just wondering if anyone had recent experience. It's a bit annoying the number of vehicles they advertise, only to find they are listed "POA" because they don't actually have one, but will build one to order. That (in my view) is a...

Thanks for all the info people. As 300 said I suspected the vehicle description was simply wrong. Well I have my work cut out: ideally, I would like a 110/Defender with a V8 in it and an auto box. Rare as hen's teeth as far as I can see. I have a trusted friend who works for an independent Landy...

Here's one example - there seems to be plenty on the LRO for sale section. https://forsale.lro.com/land+rover/defender+110/216216

Wow, thanks for the info. Can't believe I've missed them all these years. So basically no clutch, but you still manually select gears as you drive? I can see how that could be better than an auto, although the modern ones are really unbelievable.

I had a P38 for a few years and have mainly happy memories and a few bad. Trying to drive on the M6 with empty air suspension, but finally stopping when the kids started crying... the tow back home down the M6. Then there was "off-roading" in a lay-by in a forest near Berkhamstead, bottoming out...

Guys'n'gals Time for a stupid question. I've had RR classics, discos and modern RRs. All have been either manual or automatic. Simples. I'm thinking about a Defender, and want an automatic. I'm seeing a few Defenders for sale labelled as "semi-automatic". Sorry, but can you advise WTF that...

Well troops, went and viewed the 90 today. I'm afraid it's a slam dunk instafail. There's no way I'll get the dog in the back even with two of the seats folded up. I didn't appreciate how high the seats sit. I mean, my head was against the roof and my eldest is an inch taller than me. Upside is...

Thanks hugely for all the comments everyone, really helpful!! This Defender is an auto, and as far as I can see they're as rare as hen's teeth. It's a conversion, but from the stick I'm 99% sure that it's a RR auto box that's been put on it. Good old LR lego. I think we'll go and see it tomorrow...

Afternoon folks, village idiot here! Did an oil change on the 5.0L big beast a week ago, filling her up with SLX as instructed. Topped up bit-by-bit to get the dip reading right on the dash, and like a true amateur managed to go past the mid-mark to "Engine Overfill" condition. It can't be...

Thing is... there's three separate pumps on this thing. Tailgate, front windscreen, and headlamps. How the hell can they all stop producing water while the pumps are still running? I wonder if something has crawled into the water bottle and died, blocking the feed to all three pumps...? Nice to...

Hello Everyone, Edited post to include price and missing details! Four black powder-coated steel wheels to fit Classic Range Rover hub, with new (unused) InsaTurbo Sahara 235/70 R16 off-road M+S tyres. These wheels are going on e-bay, but since I've had a lot of help and guidance from people...

adam... i can see you developing an emotional attachment here!!! I'm concerned about the work though... now a week and he hasn't finished the quote...!

Here's a few pictures, taken just after I bought her. She's done a bit of mudding since then, and she's in British Army olive green now! She's also got a much bigger front bumper and steering guard. Previous owner did the wheel arch mods... not sure why he didn't just fit over-arches, but he's...

Thanks both! You've kind of reaffirmed my view, as well as providing additional evidence to present to my better half! I don't think she's a candidate for restoration, as there's quite a few holes, bolts and other miscellaneous fixings around the dash and interior, and the heavy duty...

Hello All, hope everyone is okay. Long time no post for me in the forum, very busy with a lot of work on, but hey, grateful for that. Wanted to ask some opinions from our very experienced bunch of Land Rover victims, er sorry, owners. I've had a 1989 3.5 EFI classic for just over a year. I...

I decided tonight that my 1988 3.5EFI Classic is going on sale. I bought her almost a year ago with grand designs, which just haven't materialised due to job, kids and all the usual midlife crisis factors. I will put her on e-bay in the next week or so, but basically she is a fairly solid 1988...

Thanks Zen, they do look in good nick, and they are stainless. Had the bus about 18 months and was going for second MOT. Dunno why he didn't do the calipers as well. I can't see where the fluid is coming from, I think one or more of the piston seals are gone. At £44 a side I think a new caliper...

After a recent brake failure, which left me with fluid peeing from the front offside caliper, I decided that given the state of them, I would splash out £100 on e-bay for two shiny new metric ones. They are indeed lovely, and I am sure they will never again look like they do now... I've...

Well, I uncovered the 89 Classic RR this morning, after 4 months bagged up. Checked her over, put the battery in and spun her round. Engined fired after about 5 seconds, sounded sweet as... Test drive going great. She felt balanced, no new noises, smooth motor. Temperature normal. I was very...
