    How can you tell if polarity has been changed?

    I'm digging around my new-old Rover to try to find what has been changed, what's been added, and what needs attention(Indiana Jones phase?) I am trying to figure out if the PO changed the polarity. I've written him a letter asking for information but in case he doesn't reply I thought I'd throw...

    Putting a license plate on a series

    Is there an existing mounting plate to get USA plate on the back of a IIa? Mine has two holes fairly wide apart that look about right for UK MOT plates and then two screws in weld nuts set into the panel that look like they were an attempt to fit a USA plate. The problem is they are too far...

    The ODO in my IIa is stuck at 63073. I've not seen any replacements or kits mentioned from the usual sources and was wondering if it can be fixed?

    Unleaded heads

    Is there a way to ID an unleaded head on a 2.25 petrol series motor? I'm trying to figure out if my IIa was converted or not. The guy I bought it from only had it for a brief time and it was part of a trade so he never had to add gas nor does he know iif the head was changed. I could probably...

    So it begins....

    As of 3 pm today I became the new care taker of a 1964 series IIa in marine blue/limestone! I will post pictures tomorrow as my day started at 4 am in Nashville TN and I'm beat. I learned of her on this site and the whole process has been a pleasure. Rovertrader (Dale) is a stand up guy and the...

    Looking for a series IIa die cast model

    I'm not sure if this is the right area for this but I figured it would produce the best results. I'm looking for a series IIa die cast- an 88 station wagon would be ideal but I'm not picky. Where should I look? (other than ebay-I check there often)

    Good deal on Desert Boots

    I stopped by a Saks Off 5th Ave last week (I need a new suit and they often have some very good deals) and spotted some Desert Boots in the clearance section. They are the "Saks 5th Ave" labled version but are very well made withe the natural rubber crepe sole, heel counter and a cork layer...

    Budget suggestions for potential IIa

    I looked at a fantastic 64 IIa yesturday that if I can find a way to get it I think it would be an excellent choice for my first series Rover. I used all the tips and advice gleened for you all (thank you) and looked it over closely. I was prepared with flash light and large screwdriver but...

    What are the main things to check on a FJ62?

    If it hasn't sold already I am going to look at a FJ62 (1988). Everything I've seen so far from the pictures is very clean but I'm new to these so what are the first things I should check?

    Any Asheville/ WNC Rover fans here?

    I am looking at a couple Series IIa's at an Asheville area shop. I am in eastern NC so I don't know this shop. I would like to ask you about the shop to see if the good vibe I'm getting is for real. If it's not cool to mention the shop here I can PM you/ or you me.

    Any LC Smith owners around here?

    My Grandfather handed down his LC Smith 16 ga side by side when I was 13 and I have enjoyed it very much. I'd like to know more about it, like how to figure out when it was made. It was made at Hunter Arms in NY and I can remeber my Grandfather telling me he spec'd it to accept the "new" 2 3/4...

    Question about hydraulic systems on a series IIa

    I've spotted a 66 series IIa that looks promising however one of the bigger areas of attention is that the hydraulic system will need a rebuild as someone put the wrong fluid while doing a clutch rebuild. I am not a LR owner (yet) so I may be asking the wrong questions but, is there an...

    Sleeping bags

    I need a new bag (and I'm a Papa....but anyway) I went to the local gear store and checked out the Marmot tresles 30 and the Mountain Hardware flip 45/20-which is pretty cool. I like the price of the Marmot better. I also noticed a 30/0 Eddie Bauer mummy bag that is about $30 less than the...

    Newbie/wannabe LR caretaker with some ?

    Hello Rover owners/fans, I have been hanging out here learning what I can while I build up a project truck account. I really love Land Rovers-especially series models and would love to get one when I finally have enough saved up and other things stop breaking at my house-but that's another...

    What bulb do I need?

    The bulb behind the right side of the info panel on my 06 4R has burned out. Do any of you know which bulb I need-it would be nice to not have to tear apart the dash to dig out the old bulb, then go to the parts store to get the new bulb.
