Raptor Engineering makes a dashboard console which might be an option for you. If you, like the rest of us Landy owners have an endless supply of money, why not check out the radio/speaker solutions by LaSalle Interior Trim?

I am looking for a company to replace the heart of Old Smoky (read: source a new engine, refurbish it and send it over here). So far, I have been tipped off about Turner Engineering, AB 4x4s Cleveland and Simmonites. Does anybody have any experience from any of those companies, and if so, what's...

Since we have the option of using studded tyres on this side of the North Sea, I would probably go for Nokian Hakkapeliitta, which is a top-notch tyre, with studs if wanted. Yes, it sets you back a fair amount, and no, it certainly isn't 7.50xR16, but good quality tyres must be seen as a...

A previous thread on the subject lead me to have a look at SP-4x4.com. Seems to be good stuff, and I think the thread was overall positive about their quality.

I got myself a Land Rover phone. So far, I have only positive things to say about it! :)

Looking forward to the photos!

Here is Steamwally's view on stripping and fitting FWHs. Not sure it is of any help to you, but it's worth a try!

After 39 years with its original lights, my 1977 SWB truck cab was in dire need of improvement. I swapped the side lights, the tail lights and all four indicators, and it did a lot for the appearance, as well as for the actual effect of the lights. The side lights were so bad that the bulbs fell...

I got a new AVM pair from LR Parts (24 spline, but LR Parts also do 10 spline) in 2016. They do their job nicely, which is to be expected with that price tag! I do notice the difference when driving on hard surfaces; less vibrations, less road noise and less muscle work needed when taking...

On the same topic: does anyone know of a supplier of wings (all 4) for a SWB 88" truck cab (1977)? Metal wings only, not plastic. Aug 27: bump!

So, the question was if anyone has got any experience of the new Land Rover Explore phone...

If Carlsberg made cars... I'd go for a pint of real ale. Such beer, with bits in it, plays in the same league as Series, where bits keep falling off. :D

Here is a report on a gear stick overhaul. The company Online Gearbox Parts sell the Slickshift, should it be of interest.

Okay, there is now a new Land Rover phone on the market, the Land Rover Explore. I am seriously thinking of buying this one. Anyone with experience from the phone in question? Here is a review.

You might want to have a look at this thread to avoid diesel mayhem. In short, have your garage lift the top and check that the hotspots aren't going walkies. I'd recommend a swap to new ones, while you're at it. Also, this web page is very useful for a diesel owner!

LaSalle Interior Trim, I'd say. Edit: divie apparently found it :)

Hehe, the paintjob could also be seen as a new form of very advanced spray pattern. :) Try rubbing and waxing it and see what happens! :D

Apparently, yes. However, if the engine is serviced properly and regularly, the risk of this happening is greatly reduced, because a proper see-to includes lifting the top and checking - among other things - the hotspots.

Looking good! Dag019 gave you some really useful tips in red above, I can only second them. My Landy hadn't been through an MOT since 2003, but with an investment of about £3000 (incl. garage costs), it passed with flying colours in 2016. This is what I had done to it before it could pass: Full...
