Land Rover Monthly

I know what you’re thinking – who on earth are these dapper gentlemen I see before me? Believe it or not, that’s LRM’s Associate Publisher, Steve Miller, and I at the Royal Automobile Club – it’s just hard to tell it’s us because we’re wearing suits.

DEFENDER (not Land Rover…) has revealed a bold new livery and the driver line-up for the 2024 Rally Series UK. Each of the specially prepared Defender 90s in this year’s championship will feature a distinctive version of the exterior design, with a s

WHILE Land Rover (or should that be Defender, Discovery, Jaguar and Range Rover) is deliberating how to retail its models and what a ‘House of Brands’ might look like, Ineos Automotive has been busy announcing a new smaller, all-electric model, the F

I think I mentioned before that the type of work I do seems to come in random, unpredictable waves. I can go a year or more without changing a single starter motor, then have three or four faulty starters back to back. There is no reason why that sho

WHILE I had the brown One Ten in the workshop the owner asked me to give it a service and checkover. The vehicle was put onto a new galvanised chassis a couple of years ago and had a bit of work done to the footwells at the same time, so I was not ex

SOMETIMES, you come across a Land Rover that completely redefines how you think about that particular model. All your preconceptions and experiences of other vehicles of the same ilk are forgotten, and a new benchmark is forged that all others will b

SOMETIMES you can fall into using clichés when writing about greenlanes. Not every lane can be superb, offer challenging driving or have spectacular views – though it would be great if they could. Instead, many are just simple roads that take you fro

This is one of a handful of greenlanes in England that require a permit to drive. Gatescarth Pass is only open to 4x4s on eight days in 2024, with the first being Saturday 6 April. There are limitations on the vehicle – they must have a wheelbase of

TODAY, it is known locally as Gwaith Powdwr, which translates as Powder Works, although for many years it was known as Cooke’s Works. It is now a nature reserve at Penrhyndeudraeth near Porthmadog in North Wales, but given what used to be made here,

SINCE opening its new museum building last summer, the workload at the Dunsfold Collection has increased exponentially. As well as maintaining the vehicles, website and the social media channels, the volunteers and trustees (all unpaid) now have to o

REGULAR Land Rover Monthly readers will remember that last spring, REVS Restore, a community group based out of Bicester Heritage, started restoration of a 1975 Series III 109in which was kindly donated by Tim Compson. The Land Rover spent a number o

I think I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve mentioned the intention to rebuild the Series II’s engine since I first took ownership of it in 2016, yet here we finally are: one engine not under the bonnet of the Land Rover, but instead sitting

I’D love more time for my Land Rover-related hobbies. Commitments have meant I’m not using my 90 Tdi much, and the Puma 90 even less. With insurance costs and general costs of ownership going up, one of the Defenders had to go. I took my driving test

AS you may or may not have seen from previous Editor’s Welcomes, I have recently taken ownership of another Series III, also a 109in, but this time a five-door station wagon. Had I been on the lookout for another old Land Rover? Absolutely not*, but

THE owner of this eye-catching Freelander has wasted no time making it exactly how she wants it – young Libby Davies takes up the story. “I bought the Freelander last September for a bargain price. It is my first car; I really wanted a Land Rover but

ONE of the best things about Land Rovers is how easy it is to adapt them for what we love doing most, whether that’s camping, overlanding, greenlaning, off-roading… The list goes on. Fitting accessories and upgrades inevitably means adding some weigh

EVER jumped out of your old Land Rover and into a modern car and noticed how sharp the brakes are? That effect is not just because of technical advances, it’s much to do with the condition of the brake fluid and the associated hydraulic seals inside

Last year I bought an early V8 Defender with the 3.5-litre Rover engine, and I’m just giving it a full service. I’ve heard varying advice on what to do about the twin carburettors, in particular the dash-pots on the top. There are several views on wh

The bonnet pull on my 1999 Freelander 1 has become very difficult to operate and I have to pull it hard up, which is near impossible. Even when I do pull the release lever up far enough, the bonnet edge doesn’t seem to lift, though it is free, and I
