After a bad battle with a tin of blue house-paint, I decided it was time to do this thing right. Taking her (him?) apart, and sanding down as much as I can. I'm using Zero Rust Direct to Metal, which seems to bond well to the ****ty paint that was on there before, as well as the alloy itself in...

Winter is coming.. Temperature are about to drop far below 0 Celsius, probably going to see a few weeks at -40 in the near future :( I love my Land Rover to death.. But its probably going to be the death of me.. Cold mornings where I need full winter clothing so I can make it into school.. Icy...

My truck runs beautifully, the other day, on the way to town, I passed a few cars and nearly hit 60 mph on the highway. My amp meter was fine, my oil pressure was fine, my temperature was a comfortable 170, and the truck idled well in intersections. I parked the vehicle, did some work for two...

My rover runs and idles pretty well, its strong on accelerations, and runs well under heavy throttle.. Well at least for a little while. Under extended periods of heavy throttle, it starts to cut in and out. Most often this happens on hills, when cutting in and out is not only annoying, but...

When I step on my brake pedal the amp meter drops to the bottom and everything else goes dim. The brakes don't light up.... Tips on where the short may be?

My land rover is in prime mechanical condition. But the interior is shot, I would love to re do the interior, but shipping is so damn expensive to Alaska...

I swapped my blown pertronix ignitor electronic ignition back to the points and condenser system. The car ran great for the fall season, but now that its winter I cant get the damn thing started. Its dropping snow outside, like 4 inches in 5 hours, and its cold as fook.... The exmod turns over...

I was driving to my work and as I turned into my parking area smoke started wafting out of my steering column/flasher switch. Now my turn signals don't work and I have to try to make it home before the cops catch me... Lucky that I work at the courthouse tonight.... Also today the spring that...

I've gotten stuck before trying to cross a mud pit that was about 1.5 times as long as my 109. I just need to be able to get across the mud well enough to continue my trail rides, I don't go looking for mud. Should I invest in a decent winch? Are there tires that would do well in mud but be good...

This was a ride done in Late September/Early October. It was a blast, my first trail ride ever. Jerry, the guy with the jeep, knows his stuff. His CJ5 is a nice rig, he keeps his cars in great condition (Mechanically) his other car is a porsche 944. He has helped me fix multiple problems with my...

Two cars available here in Alaska. Both of them could probably be purchased cheaper than the asking prices. I live in Fairbanks, but I could easily arrange for a car to be shipped from Anchorage. I have a friend who does auto body work and he would be a great resource for paint and rust. I know...

Where are all the grease points on a 109 ex mod rover, and what oils go in each spot. I know that oil goes in the engine and that is about all I have ever changed. I don't know very much about cars but I'm ready to learn and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. Are there any good pictorials...

Hi guys, I drive a series IIa rover and I live in Alaska. Its great to have a really reliable car at -40 below zero! I've been trying to make this car run all summer to prepare it for the winters and I've been using this forum as a resource. I decided I might as well make a user. I've got an...
