Whilst looking for something Landie related I stumbled upon, actually I was steered towards, a YouTube piece with Richard Hammond about the loss, search for and renovation of the first series 1. It’s not very long but it does show how emotional some people, alright then men of a certain age, get...

I wonder which of the three will be dubbed the most divisive in years to come? We have recently been hit with No. 3 and the division between the for and against camps is splitting what was once a pretty chilled and relaxed multi wotsit community not even down the middle. A rough estimate would...

So the big project for this year was going to be replacing the springs, rear first then the front two in time for winter proper. When the ‘shuddering’ saga took over they nose dived down the list but when she was up on the ramp it was noted that one of the rear ones was blowing a bit with a...

We were pottering along yesterday, just got some oil for todays oil change actually, and out of the blue she suddenly felt a bit jittery, like when you leave it late to change down. I eased up and was sorely tempted to head straight to a workshop I know. It was a very busy road with nowhere to...

Having one of those over the fence chats this afternoon and a landrover sale was mentioned by my neighbour who seemed very confident it was this week. There is nothing on any local media sites and as far as I know there is nothing on here. A farmer down in Cornwall recently sold his collection...

I took the 72 S3 into our garage of choice for a full check over of everything below stairs. I even left a tin of waxoyl and a brush with the techie. She is in excellent nick and a bit of welding by one of the front hangers is booked in. Quids in I thought. Wrong. She drips a little oil from...

The bane and joy of my days is my 1972 series three swb which is currently in rag top mode. Like thunderbird two she has a number of options with a full hard top and a crew cab option but I like the canvas the best. Obviously she is already tax exempt but when renewing the tax online yesterday...
