    Would kitting it out increase the value substantially ?

    Along with my friend, I run a small car dealership (I barely even consider it work, just something to keep me sane) and this morning I picked up a 1991 Defender 110 2.5 Diesel, white in colour and in alright condition. No dents or anything, just a bit dull and scratched. With some polishing...

Not a puff of smoke, and fires right up on the...

    Is it hard to replace the transmission ?

    I have a 1980 Series lll 2.25 S4 Petrol Land Rover with a blown transmission that has been sitting since 1993, and I was recently thinking about getting it going again. Is it relatively easy to change the transmission ? I'm an ex mechanic, so I could do it even if it were hard, but I was...
