  • The shame. The unbearable shame.

    Posted on 3rd October 20189th October 2018

    It’s about 10 years now that I’ve been mooching around in elderly land rovers. That was (past tense) 10 years in which I’ve never had a breakdown that’s stopped me from getting on my way. I’ve never had any major issues, and anything that has gone wrong I’ve always been able to fix en-route. I put […]

  • Brake line replacement

    Posted on 22nd July 201722nd July 2017

    One of the rear axle brake lines on the 127 was looking a shade… (drum roll)… rusty. Wow. It’s almost like that’s some sort of a running theme. Thankfully brake line replacement is a fairly quick job to do – the rear axle lines in particular are easily accessible and not very long or complex. You can […]

    Posted on 6th February 20176th February 2017

  • Wheel refurb

    Posted on 26th November 201627th November 2016

    One of the first things needing (loosest possible use of the word) sorted for the 127 was a set of wheels – it was fitted with 9″ wide modulars. Mingin’. Alas, proper 6.5″ wide 127/130 rims (as opposed to 5.5″ rims used on 90’s and 110’s) seem to cost a small fortune now. ANR1534PM are available […]

  • Bye bye series II, hello 127 Ambulance

    Posted on 23rd October 201623rd October 2016

    After a summer of camping in the back of the 110, I’ve been musing for some time over getting something a bit more suitable for dealing with extended trips in Scottish weather. The roof tent was good, but only really provided somewhere to sleep. There was nowhere to sit around in the evening if you […]
