I've a 1996 300TDi that has sadly died. Love the car, but don't know what to do. I know nothing of mechanics so any work will be done by a garage. I had the Head Gasket repaired a couple of weeks ago. It was fine for a fortnight but has now started tapping. The garage, who I trust, say that...

Hi Guys & Gals, When I bought my Disco 1 one of the rear reflectors was damaged. Sourced the parts easily and cheaply. I've just replaced the broken one, mainly with brute force breaking what remained of the old reflector off the car. Now I planned on replacing the other side, just so they...

When I bought my Series III the intention was to just use it as a local runaround, especially with the price of petrol nowadays. Next week I'm going to make a 130+ mile journey. Like many old Landy's it does tend to wander a little and keeping it going for a couple of hours plus is going to be...

Hey folks. Now Land Rover are one obsession of mine, another is Doctor Who. And the news series is fantastic. Land Rovers have been featuring in Doctor Who since the 60's, and plenty in the 70's when Pertwee was Doctor 3. There have been some good moments - exploding a grenade in the back...

I knew she wouldn't last long. But alas the Landy has ended in near spectacular fashion, had it not been for my quick reactions. Traveling along the M5 Southbound approaching junction 1. There's a row of cars doing 45mph approaching the junction, so I overtake, still doing a mere 55mph...

Does anyone know of a reputable (and cheap'ish) Land Rover or 4x4 garage in the Stourbridge / Brierley Hill area of the West Midlands? Seems what I thought was a minor wheel bearing is a much bigger problem and my usual mechanic says he is unable to do the job. I'm not a mechanic so looking at...

Hi guys & gals, this is a question that has perplexed me for many years, even when I was running my previous Landy several years ago. How do you connect up any electronic gadgets in the cab of a Series III? There's no cigarette lighter, or 'Auxiliary Power Connector' as it's now so-called...

Hi gys & gals, just got back into the Land Rover loop with a 1975 Series III 88" Petrol. She's pretty solid (for the little I paid for her) but I'm a bit concerned about something. When I start her in the morning the turnover is pityful, as if the battery is dead, just about turns over once...

Hi, my name is Simon. I live in Brierley Hill in the West Mids. I owned a Series III for six years before selling it for my other car love, MGB GT! Well the MG didn't last... literally!!! And two years later, that's now, and I'm back with the Landy. Ok, I don't have much cash so it's a bit...
