    You would have to questions why we have them with the amount of dislikes associated with these machines.

    1. Fuel eccomomy
    2. Noise
    3. lack of highway speed
    4. Leak when it rains
    5. oil leaks
    6. Handling on the road
    7. Cab heats up from heat from engine
    8. Lack of available parts of the shelf of local auto shops
    9. Electrical


    And the list goes on .........but they are 40 years old..........and we love it

    PS the scary parts is - Land Rover havent learnt from the mistakes

    Does this apply to the S1, my only gripe is the windscreen wipers they are woeful, hang on I should say windscreen wiper, only got one. The issue with spare parts is less with a Holden Motor, but you can keep a stock of the basics in your own garage in case of failure, just matters on where you stop with spare collecting, coz landys are like that you know! where do you stop, where is the line between happy Landrovering and divorce?

    Bingo - and I have recently parted with most of my 'spare' stuff to keep the other half happy. She is so keen for a garage sale at the moment and is eyeing off all things in my 'blokes land' Aparently I have heaps of stuff that can still go My god.. I am down to tools only at the moment.

    Ahh Basil, my series II....there is nothing to dislike!!

    The resto has started, he's stripped. ready for priming. He leaks, but that happens when you drive in the rain with no roof! I have only one wiper (driver's side). The missus love him, the kids love him, I love him!! He has 2 bullet holes in him and he is noisy, leaks a little oil, has spiders but I wouldn't swap him for anything..
