This site was written to record of our experiences with owning a Series 3 Land Rover. Basically, call it a diary? Hopefully this site will contain some useful reference info for other Series LR owners and will list all the bits that have/will fall off your/their Series Land Rover? :)

The majority of the information within the site is aimed at those within my local area of the UK (Wiltshire & Hampshire),though wider info is dotted here and there especially on the links page.

    So you think you really want a Series Land Rover ?

    Don't ever buy a vehicle such as this if:-

    • You want a vehicle that you can use day after day with very little maintenance.

    • You want a vehicle with low fuel consumption.

    • You want a warm cosy car without drafts, road noise and water leaks.

    Do buy a Series LR if:-

    • You enjoy tinkering with 'old' vehicles.

    • You don't mind oil on your drive (make sure you have a gravel one!).

    • You want to drive in conditions that a normal car would find a complete farce.

    • You want cheap parts,when compared to modern vehicles (but you will regularly need spares if your LR has been worked hard, or been poorly maintained before you aquired it).

    • Insurance is relatively cheap (£100 Full Comp on a classic 3k miles policy)
