Has anyone here fitted a diff. lock or Limited Slip Diff. in the rear of their Series IIA? I'd be interested to know the most suitable option. Cheers.

A friend said he is not using his Series Land Rover due to the extreme low temperatures up North recently. Ok, it is a beautiful old Land Rover but is starting them in such cold temperatures really so bad for the engines, gearboxes etc? I thought they were built for harsh conditions. He had a...

When Land Rover sold Defender 90 300tdi's new in the Uk, what were the different wheel and tire options available? What tires are generally thought to be best suited to these, for say 50/50 on-road/ off-road use. Any thoughts would be great. Cheers.

Are there any simple ways to make a standard 2.25 petrol engine a little more fuel efficient? For example, by changing the air filter etc. Or would any such changes sacrifice performance? Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Does anyone here use General's Super All Grip Radials on their Series Land Rover? 750x16. If so, any opinions or feedback would be great. I'm trying to find out how they are as I need a new set for my Land Rover and the Super All Grip cross-ply tires it currently has are not available new anymore.

Are any 7.50x16 cross ply tires still available (new) in the UK and, if so, where do they sell them? Not had much luck searching so far.

A good friend is planning to buy a new Defender but I remember reading a lot of bad things about them, especially with the gearbox. Were these just initial problems and were they fixed? Are the 2009 & 2010 Defenders more reliable like the later TD5's and TDi's? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

My circumstances have changed recently and I will shortly be faced with a daily commute to work for at least 4 days per week. The total distance per month will be about 500 miles. My question is, would it be viable to use the Defender I have or would such a journey justify buying a small city...

According to their website, Land Rover currently fit tubless Latitude Cross tyres as standard on their new 110's and offer both tubed and tubeless XZL's as options for the steel wheels. I need to purchase a new set of tyres for my 110 and think the XZL's would be good but should I go for...

How much useable length does the load space on a Series II hard top have when the door is closed? Not concerned about the width, just the length.

Read the sticky but I still have a couple of questions about changing gear in a Series IIA: 1. Does the gear stick have to be in the neutral position when changing between the hi and low boxes? (i.e. clutch in but still in gear is not sufficient) 2. Is starting off in 2nd gear when on...

Title says it all really! Are Series II and Series IIA Land Rover electrics driven by an alternator or a dynamo? If both, as I suspect, did the change over take place on a specific year model, e.g. 1968?

Currently have a Defender 110 but looking for a Series II. What would a fully restored vehicle cost these days? After a quick search online I have found some for £7000-£13000 which does seem quite steep, although they looked like new and were from delaers not private sellers. Don't have the time...

Has anyone here had any experiences they'd care to share, good or bad, with Land Rovers UK Ltd and/ or Foley Overland?

Planning to get my 1997 Defender 110 rebuilt/ refurbished in preparation for a trip across Europe in July and August. Any suggestions of a good company to contact (Southern England would be easiest) and what kind of cost could I expect? The vehicle is not too bad though does need some tidying...
