Step 1
Have a look at the section headed Series 2/2a, and read as many of the threads as you can manage - probably starting with the most recent and working backwards.
These will give you a good idea of what you are likely to need to do, and also a very good idea how to do it and where to get parts.
(A lot of the Series 3 forum threads are applicable too)
Step 2
Go to "shop" in the title bar just below the banner, and order the SERIESIICD, which includes the workshop and parts manuals on CD (last item in the list of CD/DVDs). The parts manual is useful for more than just ordering parts - it tells you where parts have changed (the letter suffix on the chassis number is the important bit), and it also has a lot more pictures than the workshop manual, which often really helps to show you how the bits go together (or come apart).
You need to be aware that many parts are interchangeable across all Series Landrovers, so that you are likely to find bits on your car that are from a different model. This can apply particularly to things like screw threads, which started off BSW/BSF/BA, then gradually went to UNC/UNF, and late Series 3 started to get metric; and this long after it was made, original bolts and nuts could have been replaced with anything! You will need Whitworth, AF (Imperial) and possibly metric spanners. AF spanners are readily available, Whitworth are harder to find, in my experience best place tends to be markets, garage sales and Opp shops! But any worthwhile tool shop will get them in for you, but don't expect them to be cheap if you are getting new spanners.
