Anti-4x4 ranters are typically heavy on emotive claptrap and short on facts

Anyone got one for sale?  Are they really light on power comsumption? Could
I boost battery performance with a solar panel and if so what specification?

3.5 v8 in a 110 developed a knock yesterday, suspect its serious. Is it big
ends or little ends that tend to go on these?
Whats  the way to go? Rebuild  or look for a complete engine, if the latter
should I stick with carbs or look for a 3.9 efi engine. I want to stay with

Just had my 2000 RR 4.0 serviced and the oil level is around an inch above
the full mark. There is a "do not overfill" mark on the dipstick. Someone
doing the oil change put too much in. Should I be concerned about this?

I have a misfire shortly after start-up from cold on my 2000 RR4.0 which
lasts around 30 seconds regardless of ambient weather conditions. It has had
a new set of Leoni plug leads fitted along with new plugs around two years
ago. What's the life expectancy of these? Any ...

I had a solenoid issue. Rather then rebuild (over 125,000 US mi.), I
purchased a NEW "Mean Green Starter." The vehicle started wonderfully for 2
days. Now nothing. I turn the key to start and I get a screeching sound. Not

Anyone know if the new Landy/Jag V8 diesel will fit in an old Defender
engine bay?

Requesting the pooled wisdom pleeeese !
1998 Defender rear x-member; just spotted a bit of rust. Banged it with a
Maglite and produced a hole about size of  a Fifty pence piece. The rest of
it seems sound. I recall dinging it in same place a few years ago but did

I've been convinced by a friend that the vehicle I'm after is indeed a
landrover for the job I have (rigging & radio tower access - often
requiring remote / inhospitable working and some truly nasty terrain).
I've no doubt the vehicle is by nature capable of the task at hand, or

The MOT is due shortly on the 109 and I'm concerned what I'm hearing
about this computerised system, namely the fact that my V5 has no

the srop down list!.

Hiyas,
Looking for a source that would know the LR paint chip number for a hardtop,

conversion that was on it when I bought it. The LPG is fed in to  a  device
between the carb and the manifold. This presents a restriction to the air
flow and whilst I can see that it might be necessary to ...
