After an unfortunate off road incident in February involving the most horrific noises ever from the front transmission, I had to get recovered home and set about checking half shafts etc... So 4 months later, baby girl notwithstanding, I've finally found that the problem is the crown wheel...

Following an in situ engine rebuild in late 2009, all oil changed, chassis welded up and electronic ignition, I’ve had 13 months of trouble free ‘roving. She even passed MOT last month first time round, with only an advisory for a cracked tyre. My smugness toward Mrs Stoker’s modern car which...

OK Landy lovers, for several years I've been trying to persuade her to let me have a Defender 110 CSW, Early 1990s model probably. However, she's a frugal, eagle-eyed lady who doesn't miss a trick. I need hard evidence and arguments to get round the following: Bad fuel economy...
