Show Notes
In this week's episode, Steve is back from his Italian road trip and the pair are back on the Salmon Sofa for an hour of Land Rover chat. Steve reports back on his long-distance adventure across the Continent, and tell us about the Land Rovers he spotted along the way. He also compares the state of the road network and traffic in France, Germany and Italy compared to what we have to put up with in the UK, and waxes lyrical about driving the Stelvio Pass. Martin has updates on the arrival of his baby son and MOT preparations on his "new" Td5 Defender 110 – from replacing the wiper motor and cable and wheelboxes to wrestling with the dreaded 10AS module. Steve explains his lust for a Range Rover L405 or L494 Sport, and Martin gets annoyed about losing tools. Enjoy the episode? Let us know!

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. As always, we love to get your questions and feedback, so don't be shy – drop us an email on [email protected] and let your voice be heard. Why not grab a subscription to Land Rover Monthly magazine?

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.
