Hi,
I think some of the first responses were a little harsh and dare I say uninformed,It all comes down to do you like your rangie!
If you do money and time dont really come in to it,yes they do drop to bits and stop working from time to time but at the end of the day you just do the best repair you can and carry on,parts are'nt expensive if you know where to look,also contrary to a previous statement rangies ARE a very simple machine its just a case of educating youself these forums are the place to do that.
As for series landys been a mans rover well it depends what you want out of your vehicle if you like putting miles on a vehicle in comfort and some degree of speed and good off road performance then a rangie is the motor to go for,If you drive to the store and go fishing 10 miles away once a week,and dont mind not been able to hear a conversation with the person next to you then a series rover is the one for you.
I am not biased I own both a Rangie and a series 1 V8,I am experienced in both varietys of vehicle having owned 3 rangies,a couple of defenders and over 20 series vehicles covering all types and variations,so this is not a load of uninformed crap its the voice of many years experience.
I enjoy both the motors I have but each has its own character and ability.
As for sevicing and maintenance,the better you treat it the better it will treat you.
Cheers ONz
As for glue any epoxy will do its only a bit of wood
for tiz written in the book of ONz "keep it simple"

(last time I checked, that goes both ways) Anyway, I’m going to go take some pictures of my rig and post them here in the next couple of hours.
(I didn't get any response during the first couple of days regarding my 'glue' comment, hence the post on another channel)
