About twice a year I  use my old series 3 109 to tow a trailer across
some pretty boggy ground. Each time I do this I cause the most mess when
one of the tyres starts to spin. Never have actually got stuck but I

Sadly, late last week, Ken Walker from Land Ranger Services in
Longton died unexpectely. I'm sure all those here that knew him

Been pulling yet more bits off Morph today (101 Ambi). Mainly the Diff lock
pipes (ala early Range rover vac operated) and the valve to operate it.
I've managed to replace the bits of pipe which were chaffed through along a
length of about 10 cm's.

What is the general opinion about the best place to advertise a Defender for

I am looking to replace my 101 Bargrips with new tyres, and its occurred
to me just, not having driven a 4x4 apart from a 101, what IS a bargrip
like compared to say, the MT or AT designation or this ratio of
offroadness/onroadness ? Now I know that the scariest rubber incident I ...

Entry is £50 for a team of two.
Teams will need to raise "ideally" a minimum of £200 in sponsorship,

Can anyone confirm whether the CD changer from a '93 LSE will happily

My 110 V8 seems to be down on power on the flat but on hills it goes to
a crawl and starts to shudder and backfire. When it gets to the top of
