    The slowest 110 restoration ever?

    So I started going through the motions of selling my 110. I mentioned it to a few people in the club, tried to rationalise the deal to myself (sell it and use the money to by a 'normal' car and a series SWB for the weekends), even washed and polished and took it to the beach car park for a...

    Defender Handbrake Strip And Rebuild

    If your handbrake sticks on or is ineffective, chances are the expander unit is full of mud and general gunk that builds up over the years. If your handbrake is ineffective then it might just be out of adjustment, so try turning the adjuster clockwise and seeing if it grips. If not then its...

    Swivel Housing Rebuild On A Series Land Rover

    At some point you will need to rebuild a swivel housing; Eventually the chrome swivels (chalices) get badly pitted and rusty, and the oil seal fails and will no longer keep the oil in the housing as a result. You get oil all over the tyres! Of course, if this happens you can drain out the oil...
