Show Notes
In this week's episode, Martin and Steve are between studios, so are recording from their respective homes – sorry if it sounds a bit different to normal! Martin's "new" Defender Td5 is ready for MOT, and Steve adds to his shopping list for his project Ninety. The pair discuss daily-driven Range Rover Classics, and the virtues of a set of vehicle skates for moving long-term project Land Rovers around. Ahem... Ex-LRM Features Editor, Kev Mills, gets in touch to talk European service stations and regale the guys with a tale of collecting a Range Rover with a temperamental Td5, and there's chat about the new issue of Land Rover Life. The boys also discuss what they don't leave home without – what's always in your Land Rover?

In this week's episode, Steve is fresh back from the Ripon Autojumble, where he met some notable Land Rover characters and saw some great vehicles. If you came along, thank you very much, and if (like Martin) you missed out, it's the Malvern Autojumble this Sunday! The boys debate whether Defender L663s are becoming affordable on the used market, and how Grenadiers fit into the current 4x4 landscape. Are you better off building a "classic" Defender 110 with all the bells and whistles, or buying an Ineos? What do you think? Elsewhere, a listener shares their Land Rover story culminating in a successful Land Rover catering business, and the boys answer the question – what is the best do-it-all Land Rover for 15 grand?

In this week's episode, Martin and Steve are back from Newbury Autojumble and are keen to share their buying, selling a spotting stories from the weekend. Elsewhere, Steve's persistent lust for a Range Rover L322 just won't go away, and the pair get stuck into a series of listener's questions – including should you fit Series doors to a Defender? LRM contributor and friend of the show, Greg King, has some invaluable anti-roll bar information, and the guys discuss soundproofing options for Defenders. Can you buy a Land Rover for £1500? A listener puts the boys to work. Got a question, or some feedback for the podcast? Drop an email to [email protected] and enjoy the episode!
In this week's very special episode, long-term LRM contributor Jack Dobson is over from Australia and joins Steve and Martin for a chat about the similarities and differences between Land Rover scenes in the UK and Australia. Jack talks us through his fleet of Series Land Rovers – the majority of which are V8-powered – and tells the tale of how his beloved Series IIA got stolen and reacquainted with him two whole years after it went missing. There's also chat about his mission to restore an 80-inch Series I, including the judgement from some of the more niche chapters of the Land Rover world, and how his choice of paint colour was a not-so-subtle jibe at these attitudes. The gang get distracted by a 130 with a cage on the back, and Jack discloses some of his favourite and most-hated mods for a Series Land Rover.

In this week's episode, Martin and Steve finally make it to a Tea on the Tailgate meet at Burghley House - they discuss standout Land Rovers, and Steve describes his visit to Halfords. He only went for bulbs, but left with a new Land Rover mate! Elsewhere, Martin answers a listener's question about tools, and the pair talk about the upcoming Newbury autojumble which is on this Sunday! See you there.
In this week's episode, Martin and Steve are on the road in Martin's 2014 Freelander 2 as they head north to film some Land Rover buying guides. The pair get constantly distracted by Land Rovers passing them on the road, discuss Defender L663 roof pods, 4x4s that aren't Land Rovers, tractors and plenty of other Land Rover (and non-Land Rover)-related topics as they make progress up the M6. They chat about the styling and design of the latest crop of Land Rovers and Range Rovers, ogle a very tasty L405 Autobiography and wonder if Gerry McGovern will ever join them for a chat on the podcast.
