    I have five riveted series rims that I removed from my series two while stripping it down, I want to fit a set of tubeless 205's to it when it is back together so I was wondering if anyone had any defender rims they wanted a swap for? They are in overall good condition just a bit of surface...

    Series two bulkhead desperately wanted

    As I was told by the welding instructor here, nothing is beyond saving and if I can't find one that's what I'll do but it has gone on both footwells, both a pillars and feet, one top corner, under the windscreen, both dash panels and the inside at the top of the curve!

    My series 2 Rowland

    Thought I should probably update this! I got bored of only taking one land rover apart so I decided that what I needed was to take a second apart! This poor innocent lamb entered my workshop not knowing what it was in for! Picked up for the sum of £350 with gearbox failure and a bit...

It has a...

    My series 2 Rowland

    The defender 110 station wagon on a galvanised chassis was the land rover I always said I would end up with but the mistake I made was to try and run it as a daily drive when I was trying to work on it

    My series 2 Rowland

    Looking back I wish I had kept the defender but the problem was because I was using it to drive to work and back every weekend and it was a rolling project I could never do any of the jobs properly on it. I stripped the bulkhead down today and it is a lot worse when you strip it back! It has...

    My series 2 Rowland

    After my defender proved to be two expensive to use to get to work and back every weekend, I sold it for a small profit after putting plenty of work into it. So I needed something a bit fuel efficient and a bit fun so I went from the w reg silver puma that I owned before the defender and...

    Freelander Faults poll

    Bought a freelander l series that had been sat for a while, the rear brakes were siezed solid, due to being parked up so understandable but not helped by stupid adjuster. It had a strange steering wobble that I never got to the bottom of but expect it was the rack needed changing. The...

    Scrap it or repair it?

    Or sell it to me for scrap value and I'll spend the next 6 months of evenings learning to weld and rebuild it! Actually after the freelander died during selling it perhaps not the best idea!

    Disco 1 - rear seat belt not long enough for baby seat

    I found this problem when I had my discovery v8, the kiddie seats in the back would only fit at full stretch of the belt. I remember seeing in one if the land rover mags from the last couple of months, one of the off road equipment companies selling seat belt extenders

    Freelander xedi

    I am selling my freelander as I will be moving with the army soon and will not have time to finish it. It has no tax or mot but is on a relatively low 129000 miles, nothing for the simple l series diesel! The only things left to do on it now are the drivers window regulator and the and...
