    Land rovers? Relaible??...Ha ha

    my R reg 110 County was 96k miles young when I got it, apart from the internal condensation which lead to a slightly musty smell and the fairly inadequate heating system it was the best(the one I have felt most connection with) motor I have ever owned - it went down the road with someone else...

    Gents, ta very much for the replies - good news is that the chassis hasn't parted/split will check the leaf spring - I believe they are not hugely costly, ta, tom

    Visibly discernible list to starboard

    FUF has recently started a visibly discernible list to starboard more aft than fore i.e. back right hand corner has dropped by 3 inches or so. Before any funnytrousers suggests tyre inflation - I checked that first. As FUF is my first series LR each new opportunity for learning(problem) I need...

    Internal Rollcage Quest

    Hello, I am after an internal rollcage for my Series III softtop - can't seem to find an off the shelf item also probably v.expensive. Does anyone know someone who builds them as a sideline. I just want to feel a little protected - hood hoops and windscreen certainly wont stop me being...

    Angry Pigs Photo

    Gareth, on the pages of your site that is titled "Friends" you have a photo of Grisselda and Uni - betwixt them is what I am 100% sure is a Guzzi 850 T3 - why does the two wheel beastie not get a mention. My Guzzi is not happy and is saving his euros for a hit!! tom

    Gareth, in Heidi's honour the Flamingo will have flaxen plats(I don't know how to spell ?) H+S can boil their eyes - every bureaucrat in this country has the blood of Bonaparte in ttheir veins. tom

    mounting a Flamingo takes 3 things: 1) timing 2) discretion(RSPB and all that) 3) a very smoth line and a handful of small fish!!!

    How do i uprate my S111 brakes

    Dirk, mine were dire - pulled to right locked one wheel etc. First off as someone said don't do it if not confident. A guy I shoot with is a mechanic with a bootiful original Lightweight - he did a full service and now my Series III stops almost like a modern saloon . he says the brakes were...

    Angry Pigs Photo

    Friends, Countrymen, Fellow Landypersons, I am disappointed that I got no contrary comments re my angry pigs stencil or candelabra on FUF(1983 Series III in gallery) - the candelabra has gone but I am considering a plastic pink flamingo as a bonnet ornament. I have got onto the shortlist for...

    Howdy Ho!

    Midget Man, LR never did a 110 auto - I tried to get one, the only UK sold 90 auto is the fab Anniversary Edition(4.0litre) - you can get conversions. Having come to Landys from owning a Ford Explorer(sorry) I have never understood why LR don't do auto defenders - purists may argue against...

    Webber Carb Conversion

    A chum suggested that a Webber carb for my SWB Series III 2.25 petrol would make it more economical than stock item - anyone know who's best to go to for the item.
