    The boys also discuss car and van sizes, the do's and don'ts of driving through water, and why AI cannot be trusted to give advice on not hydraulicing your engine.

    Sep 25 2024

    In this episode, Martin and Steve kick off with a hotly-contested Listener's Question on exhausts – is louder better?

    Sep 11 2024

    There's a brace of listener's questions about buying a 90 vs a 110 and whether to build an overland truck from a blank canvas or buy one already done, and another Land Rover fan asks for advice on their buyer's remorse over a rusty Discovery 1.

    Sep 4 2024

    In this week's episode, Martin's been to the auction, Steve hurts his back and the pair discuss timing chain failures for a US listener.

    The boys also debate the most reliable Range Rover in the world, and (unrelated) Martin's ambition to use a P38 for a 1990s-inspired Instagram account. Plus – how long have you owned your Land Rover?

    Also on the agenda is the many different types of Land Rover meets, and how getting involved with a club or group is easier now than ever.

  • The best Land Rover for £5k, popping to Scotland for lunch and Collecting vs. Hoarding
    Aug 28 2024

    In this week's episode, Martin gears up to go to his local auction, Steve goes down memory lane over a V8 Lightweight and the pair discuss the ever-growing dimensions of new Land Rovers.

    There's hot debate about parking etiquette, and the boys wonder if there's room in the world for the good old high-street car accessory shop or motor factors any more.

    A listener's question is answered (sort of) – what do you think the best Land Rover is for £5,000? Steve recounts his recent holiday including a Scottish lunch and Martin gets ready to pull his Series III to bits. It's all go, go, go on the UK's biggest Land Rover podcast.

  • Top tips for budding mechanics, Land Rover meets and film star cars
    Aug 21 2024

    In this week's episode, Martin and Steve answer a listener's query about setting up their first tool kit for working on their Land Rover, and discuss which jobs you should (and shouldn't) tackle when just starting out.

    The guys chat about Land Rover meets up and down the country, and discuss the lesser-known Land Rovers of their favourite big and small-screen films – and Martin shares an 'interesting' fact about the James Bond Defenders.

    The pair search for the answer of just how the Americans make any Land Rover model look just so cool. Maybe it's the scenery, or maybe they know something we don't? There's also chat about obsolete parts, and whether the shortage will start to affect older Land Rovers more in the future. What do you think? editorial@lrm.co.uk. Enjoy the podcast.

  • New stuff, old stuff, and the golden era of off-roading
    Aug 14 2024

    This week's episode coincides with a brand-new issue of Land Rover Monthly going on sale, and you dear listener get a sneaky peek into the pages of the October edition of the magazine.

    Martin pops his Series One cherry on a team trundle out to the Peak District, and fails to impress Steve by waxing lyrical about the very latest off-road systems that he tried out on a driving day at Eastnor Castle.

    The guys also answer such burning questions as 'is a Morgan recyclable', and Steve lays down the law on how far you can go with a restomod before removing too much of a Land Rover's character.

    There's chat about a rare retro challenge truck sighting out in the wild, and the pair debate which era and vehicles represent the most iconic years of off-road competition, where in the country is best for spotting Land Rovers, and the astronomical price of ice-creams.
