Most people on here tend to own RR Classic or P38's, but supposing you were going to trade them in for a newer model, which would you go for - Range Rover Sport or Full Fat Range Rover L322? Perhaps more importantly, why would you choose one over the other?

...without scratching the hell out of your roof?! Annoyingly I caught mine when I collected my tent (first time fitting, at night, etc - was going to happen I guess!) and don't want to repeat it. It's a Maggiolina Safari, so seems lightweight until you have to lift it above your head - at...

I have four virtually new Insa Turbo Traction Track A/T tyres on my RRC, 235/70/16 size. The have probably done 1,000 miles, if that, since I got them late last year. Ideally I want a less aggressive tyre for my trip to Morocco, so was wondering if anyone fancied a swap? I only want the same...

One of the final modifications I wish to make to my RRC for it's trip to Morocco later this year is a second battery + split charging system. Part of the reason for this is to preserve the 'starting' battery as much as possible, but also because we will be taking some camera gear and a fridge...

Evening all, I'm off to Morocco this summer and need a CB radio which is not a problem, but where to mount it is! Why am I over here rather than the (relative) safety of the RR forum? Well, mine's a soft dash RRC, so same dash as the Disco I and largely II, and I bet more of you have fitted CB...

Bit of an odd one, but sometimes when I start the RR (3.9 V8 Classic on LPG, always starts on petrol) it won't idle (on petrol or LPG). Even giving it some revs doesn't sort it out, it just basically dies if you let go of the throttle. I have tried driving it for a bit as well, but as soon as...

Off to Morocco in August, was wondering what the best way to get there is? 1. I can ship the car there in a container and fly out to meet it, which is £800 each way - seems bloody expensive to me. 2. Drive to Portsmouth, ferry to Santander, drive the length of Spain. Ferry is £1,000 return...

Well, do you? Will be fitting a roof tent to the RRC soon (which is on air suspension, if that matters) and was wondering if 'bonking bars' are necessary for a good nights sleep? Cheers!

I'm compiling a list of things I need for our trip to Morocco this summer, was after some recommendations. I am trying to keep the spend down, so please keep them budget conscious - for instance, I don't wanna be spending £150-£200 on a CB radio when a £90 will do the job just fine! Things I...

Well, good news is we have FINALLY got our work commitments sorted out and my brother and I are going to Morocco this year, on one of the Trailmasters organised trips, can’t wait! However, this does bring me to a vehicle dilemma; I bought my RR Classic (V8 on LPG) last year specifically...

After last weekends greenlaning, the car needed a good clean as it got pretty muddy underneath and also picked up a few scratches after the last lane of the day that got very narrow towards the end! So the car had a thorough wash yesterday and this morning I decided to T-Cut all the panels to...

For no other reason that I thought it might be useful for someone somehow, whilst cleaning the car today I decide to take some pics and video footage of the EAS in action, starting in offroad mode, dropping to standard ride height and then down to access mode. In hindsight, I should have filmed...

The airbox on my 1994 Classic has cracked (I think for a large backfire when it ran out of LPG a few months back) and need a new one. It has the later model serpentine belt 3.9 V8 with the square airbox - is this an identical part to the one fitted on the 4.0 P38 and the Disco 1 3.9 V8 and...

My bosses P38 (a good condition, well maintained 2001 4.0 SE) went for it's MOT and to have the ABS & TC lights investigated....£1,100 later, he got it back!! Ouch. New shock, new brake lines, new ABS/TC ECU, HEVAC interrogated and blend motors repaired....four pages later I was bored of reading...

...but due to busyness/laziness/mild retardness, has not been able to get it sorted. He's tried all the pills, pumps, etc...but that's a different story. What he REALLY wants is an extra inch of suspension height for his Disco 1 V8. Looking to change the shocks and springs as both are pretty...

Was just reading an article in LRM about LandyPoint GmbH (Landypoint Sigmaringen) and it said something about "all sorts of modifications and additions that are alien to British eyes." Which got me thinking, what's the coolest/rarest/most interesting feature or item you have seen on a Range...

Afternoon all, thinking of heading down to explore the greenlanes in this months LRO around the Hook/Alton area of North Hampshire and Surrey this weekend. Has anyone travelled these before, any to avoid or recommended? Looking for non damaging ones really, nothing too tight, just want to...

I've read loads about these sorts of events in France, and the idea of driving across snowy mountain ranges sounds brilliant, as does scaling them in the summer. Weirdly though, I can find very little about either online! Is Val D'Isere still an annual offroad event? If so, when does it happen...

I've noticed recently that whilst in LR circles the trusty 110 is still the defacto Overland vehicle due to it robust nature, ease of maintenance (pre-Td5, anyway!), reasonable reliability and versatility, the Disco II is becoming more and more popular. Sat in a traffic jam opposite two Disco...

OK, I have a small list of electrical problems but am, quite frankly, an auto-electrical retard. :doh: So, I was wondering if anyone on here is particularly knowledgeable about such things and would be able and willing to give me a hand sorting them out? I am more than happy to reward your...
