News and Announcements

Me and roy have been chatting to one of the organisers of http://www.bristolandwestlandrovershow.com/index.html His name is Mark Pattenden and he is a member on Landyzone as Discovery2man and he should now have a nice shiny orange username. If you have a look on the website you will notice that the show isn't the normal commercialised show, it's for charity BLESMA Basically Mark likes to set himself a bit of a challenge, and for this show he wants to have the record for largest Land rover gathering in one place. The Blesma challenge is to get more than 1000 Land Rovers into the shape of a Land rover for the record. We are planning to have a club stand at the the show, and from speaking to Mark it sounds like it could be a very good...

Electric Winch shop are our new sponsors of Green Laning - Land Rover Zone and Anything goes http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f37/ This has come about from us buying some winch equipment from these guys and them paying an interest in the site. Chris made a fine entry to LandyZone which some of you might remember, by posting a picture of an Emmerdale hottie in anything goes;):D winch-shop-chris & winch-shop-steve are very helpful chaps and i'm sure they will be able to bring good advice and offers to our members. :welcome2:

If you can read this you are now accessing LandyZone from our new UK server. Please let me know in this thread if anything out of the ordinary is going on!

I'm happy to announce that if all goes to plan then LandyZone will be moving to UK servers tomorrow(8th Feb). There will be about an hour or two downtime in the morning and when we come back, we should be faster than ever and no longer in the hands of the Americans! Of couse things may not go exactly to plan, so when we go offline I will be giving updates on our twitter feed at LandyZone on Twitter, so follow us there if you don't already. Current Server: New Server: ;);)

You may have noticed our newest forum Sponsor in the Offroad section. if not take a look Off Roading - Land Rover Zone :DWelcome Safety devices!:D

It has been pointed out that there are certain rules that need highlighting to members. The main one being the posting of Private Messages. P.M's are Private Messages and should stay that way. Anyone posting private messages on the forum without permission of the sender will be banned. Also every member should be aware of our Terms Of Service/Acceptable use policy. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/lztos.pdf Any rules that need highlighting may be added to this when necessary.

It's been a long time coming but we are almost ready to order some forum stickers:D As its stands we need to decide whether people would prefer internal or external ones, then once we know roughly how many, I will place an order. So if your interested in having one, please vote in the poll so we have a reasonably accurate number of how many people are interested. The cost will be £4 including P&P. This is based on ordering in batches of 100. For payment we will probably set a payment link on the site for paypal. For people who want one and don't have paypal i'm pretty sure we will be able to sort something out. They will be 6" wide and about 4" high

Recently there have been a few requests for a [How To] Forum. You will notice that all vehicle categories in the Land Rover Talk area now have a sub forum for this. The idea is to keep the useful info in the correct category making it easy to find, and to keep them free from clutter. Anyone can create a thread in the sub forums, but they will not apear until they are approved. Each thread will be discussed in the Secure Unit (god help us) then once approved will appear it the correct sub forum, with an obvious title. There are already many useful threads around the site, if you think any are good enough, point them out to a mod and we will copy them for approval.

I have removed the old classifieds software and we will now accept for sale and wanted adds in the main forums. Please make sure you post in the correct forum category. Here are the new rules for the for sale section: LandyZone has now incorporated the Classifieds into the forum instead of being in external software. Here are the rules for the new for sale section: You must use a thread prefix, this is so people can see at a glance what it is you are selling and so we can sort by vehicle type(the thread prefixes are the type of vehicle you are listing). Please include your location in thread title, or at least somewhere in your post. No ****taking in for sale or wanted threads, please keep on topic and only ask questions about the...

LandyZone is now offering forum sponsorship for all individual forums. You will notice on the main forum home page that some forums are beginning to be sponsored by land rover related companies. Any companies that sponsor forums will be allowed to advertise their products on the site. Some of these sponsors may be offering discounts for LandyZone members, so be sure to ask if you contact them. We are also offering commercial accounts if you have a Land Rover related business and would like to post in the forums about it. Commercial Account users and Forum Sponsors names will appear in orange in posts and on the userlist. For further details, send me a message or email, and I will give you the details.

On Friday 04th November 2011 at 7.30pm on the A49 ay Prees/Prees Green a 206 Peugeot carrying a 5 year old, a 3 year old a pregnant woman and her partner were heading out towards Shrewsbury on the South side of Prees coming into the 50 MPH limit when a 4x4 ploughed into the back of the car crushing the children and injuring all four. This vehicle then carried on towards Shrewsbury without stopping. We believe this 4x4 could be silver Landover Discovery 3 or 4 as parts of the vehicle were left at the scene. The vehicle will have front driver side damage; did you see this vehicle driving towards you with one headlight at all last Friday night? Have you seen a silver 4x4 vehicle with damage to the driver’s side? The driver is...

Welcome back, I am sorry about the downtime that we have just experienced. Plenty server problems and not enough help from our datacentre. If any of you know a decent datacentre in the UK please let me know, as we have to move! Have fun!

Some of you may have noticed that the forum was down for some time last night. This was due to a rather large crash and the resulting time needed to recover from it. There may need to be more downtime/slowdowns as we investigate further problems with the server and increase backup intervals incase it all goes tits up before the solution is found. If the forum is gone, I will keep you as updated as I can by twitter and facebook. Please bookmark these links just in case: Twitter: Land Rover Zone (landyzone) on Twitter Facebook: Landy Zone - Land Rover | Facebook
