| The Workshop side of LandyOnline covers all
physical work done on vehicles.
We work mainly
on Defenders and Discovery 1 and 2 vehicles,
simply because these are the most popular (and
we like them :-)
We do most work on most vehicles but we must
give credit to our outsourcing suppliers as we
are proud of them and they continue to give us
good service.
From 2011 we will be supplying and installing
a huge range of parts and accessories.
Please see the
Products section for all these brands.
Series 1 to Series 3

We do all repairs and servicing on these
vehicles except for gearbox work which we
outsource.
Just because Series vehicles are generally
cheap to buy does not mean that they are cheap
to repair.
These vehicles are often in bad shape and the
inter-related parts are worn out. Replacement parts
are sometimes costly or simply unobtainable and
often are not of good quality.
This complicates the repair and it often takes
much longer to get the repair to work properly
compared to the similar job on a newer vehicle.
Since the labour rate is the same for all
vehicles, the repair bill can easily exceed
the purchase price of the vehicle in the first
place.
Ideally, Series vehicles should be
repaired by their owners to be cost effective
vehicles. Some people have excellent series
vehicles and are willing to pay the bill to keep
then in good condition so that they can
enjoy driving them.
We do not like doing
extensive vehicle modifications as the costs are
unjustified compared to buying a newer vehicle.
We can advise on engine improvements for
improved power:
-
Higher Compression
-
Reprofiled Cam shaft
-
Carburettor Upgrade
-
Exhaust Upgrade
-
Ignition Upgrade
Series vehicles are worked on under specific
conditions - These are:
-
There is no specific short term
completion date
-
You need to have sufficient budget for
the repair, a tight budget is a recipe for
disaster.
-
It may not be perfect after completion.
-
We will choose which vehicles we want to
work on.
There are not many places out there that will
still work on Series vehicles. Series vehicles
have their place and we will still attempt to
repair them under our conditions.
Defender (1983 onwards to Puma) and
Discovery I and Discovery II
We do all repairs and servicing on Defender
and Discovery models, main gearbox work we send
to a gearbox specialist.
We stock various replacement parts including Turbos
for Tdi, Td5 and Tdv6. We supply exchange Injector Pumps, Diesel Injectors,
Petrol Injectors, ABS Modulator on Disco 2, Skimmed Manifolds and
Flywheels.
Discovery 3
As the Discovery 3 models make their way into
the aftermarket, we get them coming in for
repair and servicing. Please note that all
extended warranty claims must be handled by the
vehicle owner - We deal only with the vehicle
owner for work required and payment.
We will get all the diagnostics and special
tools for Disco 3 during the first quarter of
2011.
We do not do any work on Freelander 1 or 2 or
Big Body Range Rover.
