The Big Land Rover Fest off-road testing, dodgy dealers and a 90 build update

It's Defender Lexi, Danells Off Road 4x4 Parts and Project Jay at the Billing Off Road Show!

The LRM Podcast – on a Thursday?! That's right – we're back in the beer tent at The Billing Off Road Show for another round of special guests, Defender Lexi joins Steve and Martin first up to share stories of her Defender 110 since catching up last year at Billing, and goes on to explain how she kicked off her weekend with excitement and mild peril. Next up, Alex Danells from Danells Off Road 4x4 Parts hops on to talk about how the off-road scene has changed, what the company does, and explains why Land Rovers make the best bases for off-road competition builds. Finally, Reece Williams joins the guys to chat about his involvement with the Project Jay Preservation Group, and the important work the club is doing to uncover the history behind the model that saved Land Rover, and talk about his own Discovery project.

Pop-top conversions, the Billing mud run and how to go travelling with The Landy Expedition

In this week's episode, Martin and Steve are live from The Billing Off Road Show! Joining them on the salmon sofa are LRM Fest Mud & Media guests, Defender Ames and Maizee Davies, aka The Yellow Defender for chat about converting a Defender to a pop-top, and preparations for The Big Land Rover Fest. Also joining them are Harry, Chloe and Oakley from The Landy Expedition – a couple (and now toddler) who have spent a lot of time travelling in their Defender 110. They talk about how preparing the vehicle overseas has been beneficial, and the ins and outs of overlanding including how to stay out of trouble when confronted with potential conflict.

Secrets of the Defender production line plus the Billing Off Road Show is this weekend!

In this week's rather warm episode, Martin and Steve are joined once again by Greg King. The guys have been busy working on Steve's "not brown" Ninety project, and have taken an hour to sit and chat about what's been going on. Ex-JLR employee and engineer Greg King imparts some interesting knowledge on how the classic Defender was put together back in the day, including some methods used during assembly and how you can implement them in your own Defender rebuild. Elsewhere, the guys answer a listener's question on how to purchase a good secondhand Tdi engine for his 110 Tithonus, and debate why Steve has chosen the wrong engine for his project.

The Big Land Rover Fest off-road testing, dodgy dealers and a 90 build update

In this week's episode, Martin and Steve are back in the studio after quite some weeks away. There's a big update on Steve's 1985 90 build including body alignment and sourcing genuine parts, and another day in the diary to drive the project even further towards that all-important finishing line. Will the burgundy 90 make it to Fest? Only time will tell... Elsewhere, the boys recap a cracking day at the off-road course for the Big Land Rover Fest, including testing all different shapes and sizes of Land Rover on the course – everything from a £500 Freelander to a £100,000 Range Rover and plenty in between.
