I can't find the thread now, but I recently read of someone mentioning 6.50 tyres & it reminded me of a set of split-rims I rescued a long time ago that were fitted with very badly cracked 6.50's. I had them shot blasted & painted for a now abandoned Landy project. So, I'm curious as to how many...

To my knowledge, the last surviving crane version of the Hymac 580c, the manufacturer of the worlds 1st 360 degree excavator. Its in the last chance salon - off to the scrapyard unless someone comes forward to rescue it. Beautiful 6 cylinder Ford engine, excellent tracks which will fit 580c...

Many years ago, when our SWB 88" ran a pickup cab along with a tilt (3/4) and like ours, others were using their series Landys in their line of work, hardtops to combat the rise in thefts suddenly became a very expensive security upgrade. Over the years we must have scrapped (I know, I know...)...

For me personally, when I wanted to swap my 90's pickup status to a full hardtop, only an externally ribbed roof to complement my Landys 1988 age would do. Fortunately, I managed to source one locally for a good price, mind you, it took so long to remove all the layers of paint I swear it was...

Its probably been covered before, but I was wondering if anyone was prepared to share their thoughts & experiences of the myriad of axle difflocks now available in 2024 for the standard Landy axles, non-Dana/Salsbury in particular. Costs, longevity, ability to withstand the abuse from large...

Hey, I have more knowledge of Series Landys than the 1988 (some of it!) 90 which is my daily driver, but I'm learning fast. I believe it has been fitted with Rangie classic axles which makes sense as they were more available back when the previous owner was upgrading the vehicle and that swop...

My mates V10 diesel VW Tourag developed an exhaust leak in the turbo/manifold area. Anyone who is familiar with these vehicles will have heard that space being so tight any work in this area involves lifting the body off the chassis - according to the workshop manual & just about anyone who has...

My mates daughters Nissan Juke has just failed its MOT. Now, I get the new front wishbone, the new discs & pads. But the auto tyre pressure warning light on the dash? I'm guessing its something to do with all of the dash lights HAVING to function correctly. Give me a Landy any day.

Does anyone know if the chassis engine mounts on a series 3 LWB 2.6 are located in the same place as a 4 pot. I've only had dealings with series SWB's in the past & never had anything to do with a 2.6. I would compare it with my safari 2 & quarter petrol - if I could get to it!

T.M.P. (Too many projects!) Hey fellow Landy owners from the far south west of Cornwall. Every Landrover i have ever had (there's been a few!)has been my main transport & this seems like the place to hear of other owners experiences.
