    I would just like to say

    I won't lie, after watching it, i think i want one too! The problem is, the only 'spare' body i have is a disco. I don't think it would look as good as with a Series body on top 🤣

    I stopped watching this when they removed the care in the community entrants in episode one of each series...

    Heater matrix placement

    "swapped for something silly?" Would that have been a, erm, Land Rover by any chance? 🤣 The thing that worried me the most is when i realised the new matrix wouldn't fit, i looked at the contents of the car all over the grass outside and realised that i'd have to refit it all, go to work...

    Who wants to own a bit of Land Rover history? The first Forward Control. Chassis #1

    It requires some work(which old Landy doesn't) Seller's description: This is Chassis no 1 of the UK home market vehicles, and was on the stand when the 2A Forward Control was launched at Earls Court in 1962. Still has its Land Rover Number plate and lots of the original features from the...

    An interesting combination! A Land Ripsy? Does it have the flexitor suspension or leafs?

    Except he won't. Why? Because he'll back out of it. Like everything else he says he'll do... I'm still waiting for the headline "Trump takes one right between the eyes."

    Heater matrix placement

    You do sometimes question one's sanity when you buy another one though. Last time i checked i'd broken the £5000 spend barrier post purchase on the 101. And it's still up! Next job is brake servo. My sphincter can't take the stress of having to push so hard on the pedal to stop any more...

    Heater matrix placement

    Ah yes. My Citroen ZX. Took all Saturday to remove the dashboard. EVENTUALLY! Haynes manual said to remove dash, SOD THAT thought i so commenced removing bits because i wasn't going to remove the whole dash. Until i did! Then discovered the new matrix wouldn't fit. While about to burst into...

    Need electrical help

    Have you never followed(often old Fords) a car and when it indicates you get side and brake lights flashing at the same time? It's because the electric will try to find a path to ground. Often it takes a long route through other circuits illuminating other things as it goes. Hence the...

    Can anyone tell me what this is?

    Coil spring chassis with different engine, gearbox, axles and brakes but still free tax etc despite needing to be on a Q plate, i bet!

    Loose flaps

    I see, so new seals wouldn't help, unless you stuck them to the flap to add mass :)

    Tinting Series Windows

    Welcome to Landy Zone. You'll do well here as you clearly have a sense of humour! Some people make a post, get the pi$$ ripped out of them for it and leave in a huff! If you fitted those doors for leg room, have you moved your seat to the left for extra elbow room? I removed the cubby box and...

    Loose flaps

    No flaps? Yeah, my mate really missed them on his TD5 90

    Loose flaps

    When i bought my S2 they had practically no seal left so i would get a cold draft even when shut. I fitted new seals and found it hard to close them. Fitting new seals might remove any loose play.

    Trashed s3 109 got me home. Now what?

    Erm, with the handbrake on i would hope you couldn't turn any wheel... :oops:

    Trashed s3 109 got me home. Now what?

    Is there a clutch pedal return spring? Could it be missing or worn? The brake pedal on my 101 was reluctant to return until i fitted a new spring.

    Trashed s3 109 got me home. Now what?

    Clean the oil off. That might be several years worth of gunk.

    A curious issue

    Other than replace the cable i have no other suggestions. Regarding your pic, has the sheep just landed or is it about to take off?

    Exhaust Fumes Rag Top

    It's been a few years since i drove YFO but i can't say i ever remember sniffing exhaust fumes with the canvas on. I probably wouldn't have driven around with just the back flap open though. If it was hot weather i'd roll the sides up too so maybe that's why? If it was hot weather for a while...
