Although not a Landy show, todays (Sat 21) vintage rally at St Mawgan, Cornwall, saw a well-interesting selection. I counted at least 26, not including the 'workhorses' that had their duties to attend to before becoming an exhibit themselves. From a rather sympathetically restored 1949 80"...

My late dads series 2 (non-military) 88" was fitted with a pair of very useful galvanized lashing rings on its front bumper, like a large vertical 'D' with its round profile facing forwards. Picking up on the 2 dumb iron/bumper securing bolts and 2 bolts through the bumper itself. They proved...

The latest LRM mag has gotten me thinking about an old mountain bike I have stashed away. The article I am referring to was very interesting, the very early days of project Jay as it was known as back then. I've heard of the G WAC's but nothing of the prototype mules & was hoping the article may...

Originally purchased a few years ago as a donor vehicle fitted with what I believe to be its original 200TDI engine I am now considering keeping the vehicle whole. Its been an age since I've seen one. Has anyone else noticed their absence? Worth saving do you think?

Purchased originally as a donor vehicle some years ago complete with what I believe is an original 200TDI I am now questioning whether to keep the vehicle whole as its been an age since I've seen one. Has anyone else noticed an absence of S1 Discovery vans out there?

Does anyone have any knowledge on this subject? Apparently, regular trips were undertaken by the Department of Geography of the University Reading in the 70's and involved, at least as far as I know, a LWB Safari Landrover and an unknown number of students. I'm a little curious as to what they...

I can't find the thread now, but I recently read of someone mentioning 6.50 tyres & it reminded me of a set of split-rims I rescued a long time ago that were fitted with very badly cracked 6.50's. I had them shot blasted & painted for a now abandoned Landy project. So, I'm curious as to how many...

To my knowledge, the last surviving crane version of the Hymac 580c, the manufacturer of the worlds 1st 360 degree excavator. Its in the last chance salon - off to the scrapyard unless someone comes forward to rescue it. Beautiful 6 cylinder Ford engine, excellent tracks which will fit 580c...

Many years ago, when our SWB 88" ran a pickup cab along with a tilt (3/4) and like ours, others were using their series Landys in their line of work, hardtops to combat the rise in thefts suddenly became a very expensive security upgrade. Over the years we must have scrapped (I know, I know...)...

For me personally, when I wanted to swap my 90's pickup status to a full hardtop, only an externally ribbed roof to complement my Landys 1988 age would do. Fortunately, I managed to source one locally for a good price, mind you, it took so long to remove all the layers of paint I swear it was...

Its probably been covered before, but I was wondering if anyone was prepared to share their thoughts & experiences of the myriad of axle difflocks now available in 2024 for the standard Landy axles, non-Dana/Salsbury in particular. Costs, longevity, ability to withstand the abuse from large...

Hey, I have more knowledge of Series Landys than the 1988 (some of it!) 90 which is my daily driver, but I'm learning fast. I believe it has been fitted with Rangie classic axles which makes sense as they were more available back when the previous owner was upgrading the vehicle and that swop...

My mates V10 diesel VW Tourag developed an exhaust leak in the turbo/manifold area. Anyone who is familiar with these vehicles will have heard that space being so tight any work in this area involves lifting the body off the chassis - according to the workshop manual & just about anyone who has...

My mates daughters Nissan Juke has just failed its MOT. Now, I get the new front wishbone, the new discs & pads. But the auto tyre pressure warning light on the dash? I'm guessing its something to do with all of the dash lights HAVING to function correctly. Give me a Landy any day.

Does anyone know if the chassis engine mounts on a series 3 LWB 2.6 are located in the same place as a 4 pot. I've only had dealings with series SWB's in the past & never had anything to do with a 2.6. I would compare it with my safari 2 & quarter petrol - if I could get to it!

T.M.P. (Too many projects!) Hey fellow Landy owners from the far south west of Cornwall. Every Landrover i have ever had (there's been a few!)has been my main transport & this seems like the place to hear of other owners experiences.
