Hi
So me and my brother-in-law went off-roading last year for the first time on a pay and play day in Bala (Wales) and we immediately became hooked !!
First Land Rover bought was a 2015 Defender for the farm, but after putting a few dints in it on the first go we decided best to get our own cheaper ones to do some bigger damage on.
So three weeks later we found ourselves on a 8 hour round trip to pick up a £900 rust bucket of a SWB 1988 Defender with a pretty solid chassis from Bristol...
Then came last week when we decided it was a good idea to go buy another, so within a few days we were off to Doncaster to pick up a LWB ex-mod 1982 series III.
Now with the barn filled with extra parts galore and one Land Rover lifted up on breeze blocks our engineering/automotive knowledge has dried up (even with the assistance of the original manuals and the internet).
We are still loving it but now are needing many different pieces of advice.
Hopefully we can be of some help to some of you on here too as we have been doing a lot of learning by experience, so by all means ask away.
I'm sure you'll see many of my questions in the coming weeks !!
