    Early 3.5 Range Rover cruise control?

    Does anyone know if the early Range Rover came with cruise control? I've recently purchased a 1977 101 with it's original V8 still in it and was wondering if the early Range Rovers had cruise control, if i could install it onto my 101?

    Hybrid 101?

    I know the PTO on the back of the transfer box can be used to power various things, could it be used in reverse and if i bolted an electric motor onto it could that be used to propel the vehicle using batteries?

    Am i being stupid? Odometer in miles or kilometers?

    I reckon my speedometer reads in KMP, not MPH as the 100 is on the outside(big numbers) and the 60 is on the inside(small numbers) So, assuming i have a 'foreign' spec speedo, are those 33822 units miles or kilometers? I do apologise for the state of the speedo but i haven't got around to...

    101 swivel hubs, grease or oil?

    Mine need some attention. Especially the driver's side which is making a bit of a mess... I've heard that you dig out any pitting in the swivel, clean, degrease and then fill with epoxy glue and sand it down. A mate who used to knock about with a chap who had a GS told me that you can change...

    Is there anyone with a 101 ambulance who wants £30 to...

    Get a copy of their back door lock key cut and send it to me please? Martin from Able tells me that they are all the same and i don't have a key for mine. Martin didn't believe the chap who told him until he walked over and locked and unlocked Martin's back door.

    Does anyone with a 101 ambulance know what should fit here?

    It's the box behind the passenger seat. There is an odd bracket/lever thingy, plus a removable mesh inside of an external louvre vent and a couple of large holes. One goes into the cabin and another towards the back. I'm guessing the two holes i found in the cab floor behind the seats under a...

    I've just bought a 101 Ambulance... (YAY ME!)

    So far i've driven it around a field scaring the resident sheep and then once around the block after slackening off the brakes as they are binding on, quite a bit... Genuininely worried i might not be able to get it back home again! So a total brake overhaul is next on the list of jobs. At the...

    Bespoke LED 72 round headlight units.

    I was getting my Ibiza MOTed yesterday and got my MOT man to check up on the regulations regarding fitting LED lamp units to Defenders. I thought they'd be legal as it isn't a bulb 'conversion' but a purpose built lamp unit. He said NO. If it had a distinct beam pattern it would still be failed...

    Series 3 109 high capacity with leaf AND coil rear suspension?

    Just spotted a Series 3 109 High Capacity pick up on ebay. The seller states that the leaf and coil rear springs are rare. Is this genuine? Or is it the result of too much beer and some mad hammerings... The whole thing looks like a 'bolt on parts' special...
