Get you diff lock fixed before you try any serious off roading, especially steep slippery hills (in either direction) What is wrong with it? The linkage is often seized if it hasn't been used, there have been a number of threads covering how to do this.

It all depends on where you are. When I lived in Hampshire I seldom got the chance to go onto main beam because of other traffic, so correctly working and well adjusted sealed beams were adequate. Now I live in North Wales with more minor roads and less traffic, main beam is more useful, so...

In theory all Series Land Rovers with original unmodified engines are not suitable for unleaded petrol and need an additive. Having said that, a lot of people aren't bothering. The main problem seems to be prolonged high speed running, which is why owners of classic sports cars are concerned...

On "ordinary" cars Traction Control was fitted to help avoid wheel spin when accelerating out of corners, usually by reducing the power available. This developed into stability control, which is far more versatile, so many salesman think they are the same thing. Land Rover introduced TC to...
