Hi, I've got a 200tdi defender with the later freestyle alloys. The hubs stick out a bit because of this. I decided to change my tyres to get some beefier ones in. I've gone from 225 75's to 235 85's so I've not gone for anything daft. However, they now rub on the front radius arm on full...

Hi, I'm umming and arring about changing my defender or not. One plan is to change it from a pickup to a station wagon. Has anyone got any experience in this? Looking for pitfalls, things to consider, prices, time etc It's a 90 so I'm not expecting having to change the rear tub...

I've been looking at swapping my 200tdi defender for a newer defender or a disco 3. Went to dealer and about to part ex for a disco when just before I signed the paperwork they decided they needed a test drive of mine. So, they went out and came back saying the gears crunched going down from...

Hi, once again Im thinking about getting a landy, keep thinking I should be a bit sensible and buy a little peugeot or something only to be bored with it a month later. I just cant decide whether to get the 2.3 series 3 or 2.5na 90 or just not worrying about mpg and getting a v8. Did also...

Hi. I am fancying a series 3 land rover, I have wanted one for quite a while to be honest. I understand about what to look for when buying one and am not worried by working on the car, at the moment I have an MG Midget which has taught me a lot about classic cars. All I really want to know is...
