Have a couple of 109s, couple of 3 door discos, and a classic rr, all need work, but great to remember land rovers greatest achievements before politics took over!
My daily is a p38a diesel ,does the job well!
96 Defender 90. It's a rolling restoration, doing it all myself here in Minnesota. She needed just a bunch of upkeep to be done when I got her three years ago. There are a few Defenders here in Minneapolis, most via Bishop+Rook but Lizbit was a direct sale from midlands where she used to deliver flowers.
If one person finds this helpful that is my justification. Discovered today that I can 're-boot' an unresponsive Freelander 2. All doors locked, bonnet open, but no response to key fob. Battery charge was good. What can you do? The answer was to disconnect the +terminal and re-connect; registering some kind of reaction and then found the fob would work. Major relief!!!
Drying out, replacing headliner, fixing sunroof seals and leaks, replacing roof bar seals and adding some blue LEDs to the dash and Temperature Console.
Also filling holes that a previous owner used white silicon and sheet metal to seal.
You're never too old to learn new things, but you can be too stupid
After many years regretting selling my old SIII Landy after doing a full restoration on it, I finally reached that age where I decided I needed to get my dream car, well nearly, I recently purchased a 2008 L322 3.6.
Good to know the forum is still going

so, now have a wobble free Freelander 1 td4 (new VCU) bit noisy but have bearings (FAG's) on order.
****ing about in the water and now massive power loss almost feels like turbo not engaging ?
when warms up get like a squealing noise then the power loss starts, feels like running an old diesel with no boost....
any help or advice much appreciated
hi all, i have a 110 i have to charge my battery every nightie had a new alternator put on and it still isn't holding a charge, could the starter motor be draining it?
You might want to ignore my last comment. The message if terrain system faultly came up again tonight and the light came on the dash. Been tryin my method for fixing it as I did before. It has not worked this time . sorry.
Hi,
I'm looking around. Need to find my way in communication (the language).
Do my best. Please give me a moment. My name is John. Hobby is travelling. For this I'm using the Landrover Discovery 2.
Reading up on my autobox issue mentioned - I have been getting a noticeably loud whine for several thousand miles - which I assumed was wheel bearing but garage could never find - at about 40-45 mph, below and above that speed it disappears and isn't always present - which I'm now wondering if it's related, torque converter maybe.
