    1000 miles through New Zealand in four days...in a 60 year old Series 1

    Kiaora Landy lovers! I asked for some pre-purchase advise before picking up my first Series 1, and had several requests for a photo blog of my adventures bringing her home from Christchurch. Better late than never, here it is! Meet Lucille (this photo taken at Hanmer Springs). She is a 1954...

    Just bought a 60 year old 107" and about to drive it 1000 mi home...any tips?

    As the title suggests, I have just surpassed my previous experience with vintage Landys (a 1971 IIA) with the purchase of a 1954 107" pickup (#47260168, making it the 168th 107" Landy for RHD export). Here she is in all her glory: Land Rover Other Series 1 107 1954 | Trade Me Me and my...

    110 suspension into Range Rover?

    Hi everyone, I'm currently giving my RRC a once-over preparing for daily use over summer, and planning to replace the (imo substandard) suspension. My old Disco had Old Man Emu's which were great, the pro-comp shocks not so much, as many people here have also expressed. Budget is fairly tight...

    Anybody coming to NZ in the near future who wants a Landy to drive when over here?

    Hi folks, Sorry to repost but this is a follow up to my previous request. I have not found anyone to do a vehicle exchange with and thought I'd give it one more crack. If you are intending to travel to New Zealand, my 109 is perfectly equipped for touring. I am arriving in London on 17...

    300TDI A/C Compressor mystery, and how to replace electrics without losing gas?

    Hi all, The air conditioning on the '97 300tdi I have just sold has never blown cold in the 3 months I have owned it. The blower works fine and when the A/C button is pressed a slight drop in revs can be heard from the idling engine, consistent with what I'd expect from all the electrical...

    Land Rover Exchange to New Zealand...anybody interested?

    Hi fellow Landy owners, My name's Andrew Draper and I've owned a selection of Landys, but my first and my favourite is my late Series 2a 109" Safari. I'm coming to the UK in April for three months to visit family and have a bit of an OE. Sadly I can't fit my truck in the suitcase, so I have...
