    What engine is this?

    Hi, I am considering buying this Def110 as a project - and I am trying to validate what this engine is. The seller seem to think it comes from a discovery. Thoughts?

    Looking for specialist in Hertfordshire

    Absolutely agree - I was implying that I don’t need to pay for the overhead of a showroom, fancy coffee maker etc... given the complexity of the series diagnostic tools required (lol), a good local mechanics in a shed and who knows those cars well is all I need. Still searching

    Looking for specialist in Hertfordshire

    Unfortunately- I haven’t found any one yet. I ended doing the basic myself (oil/filter, coolant, rad flush, spark plugs etc...) until I find someone who can. Harry Mayes is indeed around the corner, but they charge close to £100 an hour, which feels steep for such a simple car like a series. I...

    What else is in YOUR garage???

    Besides 2 fairly emotionless daily drivers (xc90 and Tiguan), I have 2 italians awaiting milder weather and for the salt to wash away.

    Looking for my perfect series

    ha ha ha I meant “paint”... it’s a little flaky... so I need to sand the car down and repaint... I was wondering whether I should keep it bronze green, or go for a change of colour... I am not in love with the military vibe associated w bronze green, but on the other a colour change is a PITA...

    Looking for my perfect series

    Very very pleased indeed !! I am now compiling a list of jobs that I want to do within the next couple of weeks: - oil and filter change (all fluids were topped up by the seller, just not sure when the fluids were replaced last) - Radiator flush, change coolant, change bottom hose which seems...

    Looking for specialist in Hertfordshire

    As I said, I am starting from a low base :( - the good news is that I know where the dipstick is located and I have a lot of patience. So I thought turning 40 was the perfect time to learn :D To answer your question, I am hoping it doesn’t need much at all at the beginning, so I can learn...

    Looking for specialist in Hertfordshire

    Thanks for your sensible answer - I will keep asking around and connect with locals when local clubs can start meeting again. I have bought the Haynes LR manual as a start. Any recommendation on books I could buy to learn the basics of mechanics?

    Looking for specialist in Hertfordshire

    Following the acquisition of a Series 2a, I am looking for a reliable and honest specialist in my area. Although one of the reasons I decided to buy a Series in the first place, was to learn the basics of mechanics and I am still hoping I will be able to do some jobs myself. However, being...

    Where to buy SW side panels

    Seems to be exactly what I am looking for (and in the right colour too :-) After a bit of research online, looks like the 109/110SW would fit the 88” - but there seems to be outstanding questions on whether the lip around the rear door fits the 88” door and the seals too. Any view on whether...

    Where to buy SW side panels

    Actually, this isn’t what I meant. Sorry for being unclear. If you look at the picture I attached to my previous post, you will the STation Wagon side panel windows are rounded in the corners, but perfectly square. Not sure whether there’s a way to get these made anywhere thanks

    Where to buy SW side panels

    Hello, Having owned discoveries in the past, I made the jump and just bought my first series: a bronze green S2a. I am trying to look for side panels with windows with straight corners - like those on the SW - but the only ones I seem to find for sale online are with round corners. Any idea...

    Looking for my perfect series

    Well, that didn’t take long... Having barely just put a deposit on the car, I am already looking on various websites for parts that I can get to make her look the way I want. Although I want to be using the cab and soft tops during spring/summer, I also want to get her a hard top for...

    Looking for my perfect series

    Crucifix grills look brilliant indeed - I heard they came with them in the last 2 years of production. Makes it even more interesting :-)

    Looking for my perfect series

    That’s the car - the seller sent me a video, the car is very clean... needs a bit of cosmetic TLC but just the honest car I was looking for. I am calling the vendor tomorrow to arrange the details... not sure how the delivery / collection will happen w the lockdown - to be continued.

    Looking for my perfect series

    Quick update on my search - having put feelers out on Facebook LR groups - I was contact by a few owners. One in particular who is selling his 1971 S2a petrol. 3 owners from new, whom are all local and well known to him. The second one (whom he bought it from) had kept it for 28years! Upon...
