Hello All, I am thinking of taking the utterly crazy decision to buy a Defender 90. Why is that crazy you ask? Well because it's a replacement for my wife to drive, instead of her 1.2L Honda Jazz. It's difficult to think of a more extreme change, maybe if I bought a military surplus HMMV...

If you have 10 minutes to spare, read my post and please give me your hard-earned thoughts! I've loved Range Rovers or Land Rovers since I was a wee boy. My big brother in law had an original 3.5 naturally-aspirated V8 and I loved it when he dropped me off at school. Climbing out, slamming that...

Has anyone owned a classic with a TDI, and one with a V8? Clearly the output of the TDI is much lower, but anyone got any views or know how do they compare in low end grunt, pulling power and off-roading? I've only off-roaded with my 3.9 and it pulls Toyotas out of pretty much anything. Cheers

Hi everyone, I've been looking for a classic to lift and off-road for quite a few weeks. Haven't found one yet that ticks all the boxes, but saw one today which came pretty close. It's pretty clean with only 2 owners, although one did use it for off-roading as part of his job. It's pretty clean...

Guys I am about to buy another classic Rangey to lift and pimp for off-roading. It will be my fourth rangey, after an '88 3.5 and a '92 3.9 EFI. Never mind the P38. Any view on the best classic to go for? I'm thinking the 3.9 or 4.2 for extra power, but I'm told the 3.9 is bomb-proof, the...

Interesting one on my 1999 4.6HSE. Intermittently, the tailgate button stops working. Either it has no effect whatsoever, or occasionally (and this is the interesting bit) when I press it, the central locking operates and locks the vehicle! I unlock it with the fob, press the tailgate release...

I have a 4.6HSE which I use at weekends only. It is occasionally sluggish to start (doesn't turn particularly fast) but usually fires fine. I didn't use it at all the last 2 weekends, and the battery is completely flat. I got in the charger straight away and I'm sure it'll be fine. The car is...

Just chasing down the EAS fault on my '99 P38 that made me limp back down the M6 on bump stops a week or two ago.... I thought I'd save time and get a local mech to run a test book on it and it diagnosed the EAS fault as the rear offside valve in the block stuck open. This emptied the system...

M6... just north of Birmingham, 126 miles from home. Rangie thought she was in access mode, light flashed for about 10 minutes trying to get into motorway mode, then christmas tree, beep and "EAS FAULT". Suspension had a bit of air left, so ignored the "35MPH MAX" light and shot into a service...

Anyone got an opinion on this.... Driving along a back road the other night, surface a bit rough, when I got up to about 55-60mph I got some quite nasty kicks back from the steering wheel. I could clearly feel the wheel kicking from left to right quite quickly. Definitely felt as if the front...

While driving along the other day in me '99 P39 4.6 my suspension decided to do something funny. It was a bit of a rough stretch of road, was bouncing a wee bit, and went round a roundabout a bit faster than I should, and may have bumped out [I think the front shocks are gone, but that's...
