We urgently need members!
Our provider had to be paid. This site (250 MB) is now on a fast Linux server and we are getting more than a thousand hits per day. If only 1 (ONE) percent of you would join us, we would beout of trouble. We'd also like to keep these pages free of annoying banners and advertising!

Members of our club have several advantages: We offer access to additional information, special files and advice, all this for a very low annual fee. See here for more details.

Here you find all our public pages in a fast loading listing. This might be the best starting point for a precise search. Updated Apr. 14th, 2002

The humour page. Contains chapters about animals and Rovers, about silly traffic laws, about strange people, a street sign section and 200 reasons to own a Rover. Bumper stickers, secret traffic rules and "For Sale" terminology. Also Murphy's Laws on Land Rovers. And much more.

"Mom said there will come days like this" I grumbled, hanging upside down in the safety belts...

Well and truly stuck - with the wife's car

Who did never have that uneasy feeling when he just got stuck in the same mud bog he got stuck in the day before? So many "Ooops" we remember with a mix of laughter and pain. Also: The infamous radar trap pictures.

We put a lot of efforts in our links listing. Currently we still believe it being one of the best Land Rover related lists on The Net. (16th Feb.,2002) Updated!!!

The Defender quickly became synonym of today's go-anywhere vehicle. Instantly recognizable as a 'classic' Land Rover it brought better performance and a great suspension. Here you will find a lot about this vehicle and the modifications that can be made.

For some it's the worlds most luxurious 4x4, for others it's a lifestyle vehicle. Read here about the vehicle that made it to the Louvre - and through the Darian Gap.

Initially designed to fill the gap between the ever more upscale Range and the quite utilitarian Defender the Discovery quickly proved THE best selling European 4x4. And it even is a darn good offroader.

In 1998 the Freelander were the official Camel Trophy car

Following the trend for a smaller, more car-like SUV the Freelander saw the light of the day. It quickly became the best selling 4x4 in many countries but still has its roots firmly planted in the mud. Freelander questions should be sent to David Feely

There are so many unique vehicles, built by the factory, conversion specialists or enthusiasts you could write several books about them. Here's a small collection of what we found.

What are the problems on specific models? See our Problems Page and choose your favourite model from Solihull. Far from being complete but a starting point nonetheless...

Suspensions are among the most important parts in a Land Rover if you go off road. Read here about modifications, troubleshooting and modern technologies right from the factory...

The Engine and Drivetrain page contains information on engine swaps, new tech and lots of troubleshooting hints.

Look here for everything travel related. Hints on offroading in many European regions. Features on camper conversions and a special off road trailer page.

Our Australia section contains travel hints, pictures and tracks descriptions for the bulldust paradise. Enjoy a desert with 60000 kms of unsealed roads.

Here you'll find all about driving through mud, water, snow and sand. Once you're nicely bogged, it will be too late to read our articles on recovery. Includes some non-governmental health warnings. Emergency and recovery questions should be addressed to Takeo De Meter.

New items added April, 11th, Land Rovers and parts for sale or wanted by our members.

Roadbooks we drove over the last few years. Although most are "members-only" some of them can be viewed.
