Re: LandRover - Adam Going (Tune-Up Ltd)
Richard,
My colleague in Brighton, Stephen Franfield, recommends and uses Sussex Four Wheel Drive at Poynings, just north of Brighton (01273 857216) for mechanical work - don't know if they are involved in Sales, but should have their 'finger on the pulse'.
Oterwise, RCV at Bexhill (01424 893318), or Harwoods at Pulborough (sorry, don't have a number for them, but they are L-R Dealers).

Re: LandRover - D J Woollard
Richard,
I have just started my 4th Land Rover "running restoration", a 1980 Ser3 diesel SWB. They can give a combination of huge pleasure and pain (and not just the ride!). As others say there is a huge amount of info available, start with a couple of magazines and find some local contacts. They must have the best supply of parts available for any vehicle from a complete chassis to the smallest washer. Easy to do all routine work and very satisfying to improve. But beware they hold their price and there are some total dogs about, with MOTs, at about ten times their worth (as scrap virtually). Lastly there is a lot of info on the internet, just search on Land Rover Series 3, try this site for a start.

Hope you find a good one and have some fun,
David
