Nice Landy Pee Jay 👍

You fail to mention whether in the 6 months you own the LR you have learned how to use the transfer-box i.e. the yellow and red levers CORRECTLY. Surprisingly few owners know.

I already dropped a comment on another video of yours. This time I want to remark the lack of mudflaps, as your Series looks very nice just as she is. Greetings from South America

What a beautiful machine you have. I just love it. A truly enjoyable video

pj its the head light switche. It didn't work when i got it. If you won't the gearbox cover please get in touch from gaz..............😃

Its nice to see another Series Land Rover being looked after....

I enjoy watching you and your little dog. Glad your enjoying your land Rover, my cousin's hubby had one many years ago. I thought it was great fun. Hope you get your lights and windscreen washers sorted and whatever you fancy needs sorting. My cousin said it was too uncomfortable in the back to go out in. Yours is for your hobby so enjoy it.

Expensive way of traveling uncomfortably, and I have been in love for 50 years 😂❤

Growing up in the North Eastern U.S. in the 60s and 70s, I do not ever recall seeing one. ( they are more common there now) Import into the U.S. were very limited, and nonexistent after 1973. I had a green Match Box 109, and would see them on wildlife adventure shows. About 25 years ago, I remember seeing a 109 parked in a field near my house here in California. The man who owned it was there walking his dog and told me it had come from Australia. It seemed as exotic as any Ferrari or Aston Martin but looked like it could survive the Armageddon. Over the last several years, I got to see a few at various car shows and was amazed at how void of creature comforts they were. In early 2023, while helping a friend show his Jaguar XK120 at a event near Fresno, I struck up a conversation with a cattlerancher who still drove his 1966 S2A 88”, regularly. He had it there at this semiposh event still with manure on the tires. He had used it that morning to pull a dead cow out of is field. 7 months later I phoned the gentleman and suggested he keep my number should he think of selling it. He told me he had just decided 2 days before to sell it. A week later it was mine. It is mostly original except for a few “farmer fixes”, and the original chassis and bulkhead are rust free. In the year I have owned it, it has become very much a beloved family pet and is getting the TLC it deserves. It is so unlike any other “specialty car” on the road, it draws smiles and waves from total strangers everywhere it goes. I have owned and driven many interesting cars in my 65 years, but none have made me smile like this old tatty Land Rover. Their charm is infectious.☺️👌 Cheers.

Like an old faithful dog in my opinion. Also totally classless which I love.

I bought my 1966 S2A88”, about a year ago as a retirement project/ hobby. There are so many things on the to do list that I don’t believe I’ll ever be finished. But it makes me smile and attracts a small crowd when ever I take it out.

Nice vid pal. Keep em coming!

Why do I keep torturing myself watching Land Rover videos when I miss my Series 111 109 so much it hurts!!

there is somethig really special about Landy I have a 2008 and i am keeping it

its the switch on the wipers

its smart to see my old landy😇🛻

🙈 So sorry, the wheels! they are 7.50 16 i think, but witch Model? I had almost the same as your landy, with Avon Rangemaster wheels. Was ok but in wet grass or mud Not so good. I have now a Serie 2a at the moment for a projekt... Far away to think about new wheels, but anyway 😅 Ist an ex Miliary and fits with Michelin xzl... very good for Hard condition but Not for the road. Now a Look around ans saw your very nice Video with your beautyful Landy but Not the Details from the wheels. Best wishes from Austria, fred

Hallo, very fine! May i ask, wich hoop do You use? Happy rovering!

Welcome! Currently on my 3rd Series III out of 5 LRs owned. There's something about them - forever needing maintenance and repairs but it's like an addiction. Greatest vehicles ever made.They have soul.

Love your landy, I have a 1973 series 3 with the safari roof, all original, love it too bits, 👍💯

Driving a Landrover dressed in a Parka in the snow is about as Zen as it gets.

how my old land rover

Nice little video. Wouldn't suffix S reg be 1977/8 rsther than 1981 though?

Owned a 2a for 9 years then 3 lightweight and 3 LWB then a luxury defender 90. But out of all of them the series 3 LWB was my favourite. This has bought back great memories 👍

did you by it off josh

My Series 3 had quite a few electrical issues too. I ended up rewiring it. It was worth the effort. Enjoy your Landy, you'll learn as you go :-)

Landrover electrics aren’t bad. What’s bad is forty years of idiots repairing the loom with twisted wire and tape then expecting it to be a permanent repair. Sensible mods are the way to go. Eg Vaseline inside side lights indicators brake lights etc. wire from sides replaced or properly spliced ( solder and heat shrink) and long enough to run right through to engine bay and you have your bullet connection in the dry there. Steamwally’s lr videos on KZbin are very good and if you’re doing anything mechanical see if he’s done it for you to watch. If you know fcll now, then after a couple of years you should be able to tackle most jobs, as they say Been turning drivers into mechanics since 1948. You’re much better off doing as much as you can yourself for the simple reason, you’ll know your vehicle. You’ll develop a mechanical sympathy and be able to shout to a passenger. CAN YOU HEAR THAT NOISE? IT WASNT DOING THAT YESTERDAY!! But you’ll check it and find something loose or run out of oil or whatever. They’re an acquired taste but if you love em, you’ll enjoy nearly every minute of it. Have fun.

About 15 years ago I had a Series 3 long wheel base {109} van back petrol. I'd had it for 8 years and I reluctantly sold it due to family pressure and I've missed it everyday since. It was the only motor I have ever loved. When it snowed I'd be out on the road double quick! I can no longer afford to buy a decent one as the prices have gone through the roof. Long live the Series Land Rover!!

Did you buy it privately or from a dealer? I’m in West Yorks and am looking for one too.

Looks like Derwent Water had my Defender up the gated Road last week!

Here in Canada we shudder at the lack of sound deadening/slash thermal insulation. Having driven my Series IIA at -25C. I speak from experience. Oddly, mine had a tropicial roof. In Canada? Ha! I had to add a second heater in the back. I enjoyed it when I was young but wouldn't put up with it for a long drive now. Its best feature was the PTO winch and the vehicle simpicity for DIY repair. It was old when I got it but surprisingly relaible for an old junker. Land Rovers where never popular here as they were too small on the inside, too uncomfortable, too gutless, too slow, too hard to get parts for, the ride was harsh and the brakes so-so, plus it was too foreign. The space for the driver's feet on the left hand drive model was bad joke. The seat had no fore and aft adjustment and the wipers were hilarious. No other utility or farm vehciles here ever had any thing less than a six cylinder, while Land Rovers had a four. Of course I had to buy one. It came with a small calibre bulltet hole in the passenger door, a cracked road wheel and a defective ignition coil. I did drive it to Belize and back in '81 ( seven thousand miles ) without any problem except a set of points going bad in Mexica. I replaced them with a spare set by the side the road. The Series models were basically high-speed tractors and not suitable for the North American market and vast distances. People think nothing of driving 1,200 kms to go visit somene two provinces over, or more. So, I had my fun but after while it had to go.

Aye very nice! Good to see the freewheeling hubs, next to useless as a fuel saving measure but excellent to stand on to access the engine 😅

Looks great, quieter running than mine....

You must have a good heater no condensation inside windows 😅

You are a lucky fellow to be able to have your Landy! I had a Series 3 petrol swb a while ago, but had to sell it to get a more practical everyday car when I changed jobs and had to drive quite a bit for work. I do still miss it, though... Enjoy your Landy, as I am sure you will..

Looks like you found a gem! Such beautiful countryside, the perfect backdrop for a country drive in a vintage Landy! What country is this? I bought a 1966 Series 2A 88”, last year from a rancher who was still using it daily. It still had manure on the tires. I’m slowly getting it sorted out. I’ve had several interesting vehicles through the years, but none have made me smile as much. As there are no vintage Land Rover shops within 100 miles of me, I am the mechanic. Lol Cheers.

Just bought mine at 25 after 3 years of going back and forth. Subscribed

I went the route you did....always wanted a Landrover of my own..... EX wife would not allow....got divorced...bought a lovely Petrol engined series 2A...had it set up perfectly by an expert...nice....got 3 months lovely driving before it needed adjustment...It always needed spark plugs cleaning, points adjusting....carb adjusting (new carb)..always something, always something else...So I read and found that the Diesel although a little slower (not much really)...when set up properly by an expert will go for years without anything other than oil and air cleaners.....no constant points and spark plugs...because it does not have such crude things.....what can go wrong?? timing chain can get slack, but with the right oils and changes that can take years and years. Good Glow plugs are the secret to good starting in all weathers....couple of applications and she will start and run immediately...none of this messing around with a choke...

A few electrical gremlins...lol Great vid. Nice to see you get out and do it!

First time watching. Just subscribed. Love the bird sound. Best wishes on the next adventure in the great outdoors.

Great video, was up there a couple of years ago. Very windy that day but the view is spectacular 😊

This has been on my bucket list since last year; as you might know weather not great just now. Liked the quality and content. I’ve subscribed and Liked because you have a similar format to me. Well done 👍

You've captured the atmosphere of a special day , a video to make the time to take a break and watch through. Well done getting the calls of grouse without much wind boom. Excellent.

Very nice video and audio. Thank you.
