maintenance instruction

does anyone know of anywhere offering instruction on landy maintenance? I'd like to get some knowledge/confidence to help me equip a defender for an overland expedition and maintain it en route. Does anywhere run courses? I'd be grateful for advice.

Sounds as if you are going out on a limb here mucker, if you were well expeerienced then you wud know what, or one of your group wud.

Have you offroaded before, is there a group, are you a mechanic, is there a mechanic. From what I have read it's best to go in a group spreading the spares and tools within the vehicles, dunt fink I wud go far on me own.

I go on me own and **** meself every time I get stuck, it's fokin scary stuff, but only a couple of hours walk to help at most.

Small steps at a time.

Get yourself a Haynes manual - the section on routine maintenance isn't too bad.

Adult education colleges etc usually run basic car serving courses
