    mounted alloy wheel as rear spare

    I’ve purchased a freestyle alloy as my rear mounted spare on my 90. I’d not given any thought to having to change the bolts but having mounted the new wheel it wobbles and is not as secure as it should be. It’s obvious now that I need to get some alloy wheel bolts rather that the standard...

    Picking up my 1996 90 today!

    It’s just been overhauled including respray so it should look in good condition! I’m not into off-roading but will use it for shooting and transporting the dogs. I’m planning on keeping it a ‘clean landy’ and don’t plan to do much with it in terms blinging it up. I’m going to upgrade the...

    Trolley Jack

    I only want it for changing the wheels. Perhaps a bottle jack would be better as they take up less room? Just concerned about their stability.

    Trolley Jack

    I’m going to be buying a trolley jack to keep in my Landy 90 (1996). Will a 2 tonne one be sufficient as I’m only going to be lifting a corner at a time? They are a more compact size and they come handy carry case!
