    Replacing Springs/Dampers

    You can buy Range Rover Classic springs that will fit straight onto your defender and give it a bit of a lift. I got a brand new set for £50. If you replace the shocks get gas, much better ride.

    Looking for my first Landie

    Ebay is the most obvious place to look to start with. You could pick up what you are looking for for that money if you do a bit of searching. I personally would avoid 2.25 diesels though as they are seriously slow and smoky! You could buy the 'magazines' for price ideas or look on their...

    Which Land Rover?

    Much more space in the 110 as tacr2man said, wouldn't bother with the disco. Bearing in mind that serious repairs are sometimes necassary the 110 would be far easier to work on than the disco in my view.

    Retread Tyres

    Nothing wrong with retreads. I have had two sets of Grizzly Claws, awesome tyres for mud etc but i found that over time the walls would split in a big way. If you throw your vehicle around harsh on the tarmac the lugs can fly off and they tend to crumble. Driving carefully i lost roughly 1mm...

    cryptic problem, any guesses!?

    Well when you remove the slave cylinder the metal pin that enters the bellhousing is held in position by a small plastic clip, if you pull the pin out you won't get it back in. I did this on a discovery, i removed the slave cylinder and pulled the pin out by accident. It took me about an hour...

    Is the breather blocked? It might be that the breather is blocked and pressure had built up, when you removed the plug and the pressure forced it out appearing as though there was more??

    Gear selection difficult, suddenly

    Temperature could suggest wrong oil but wouldn't affect the gearstick travel?? So if the gearstick has excess or strange movement in it i would have thought a linkage is working it's way loose or something??

    Locked Wheels

    Not sure whether a freelander has the same handbrake setup as a defender but if it has sometimes the shoes in the drum can stick on and not retract. The short term cure is to release the handbrake and give a few blows to the jhandbrake drum with a lump hammer!! Make sure though the wheels are...

    Heater not blowing

    Sounds to me like your fan motor has no power getting to it. You will get some air blowing through when you drive because of natural airflow passing through the heater matrix. I had the same problem in my defender. I located the heater in the engine bay and checked and cleaned all the...
