  • Ian Baughan from IRB Developments talks old Forward Controls, supercharged Defenders and Land Rover security

    In this week's episode, Steve and Martin are at IRB Developments in the Midlands, having a chat with owner Ian Baughan.

    It's a trip down memory lane for the boys as they discuss Land Rovers in motorsport, the tuning scene in the mid-2000s and the World's Fastest Land Rover feature in Land Rover Monthly back in 2007.

    The trio talks tool brands, diagnostic gear, the LRM workshop section and Ian's getting into ECU tuning which has led to a number of Land Rover Monthly cover cars that have come from IRB Developments' workshop.

    Ian reveals his love for the TDCi engine and lack of interest in BMW engine conversions, and his top tips for modernising Series Land Rovers.

    There's also a glimpse into Ian's collection, including his very special 1962 Forward Control – chassis number 1 – and how he came to own it, as well as Richard Hammond's Land Rover meet-up at The Smallest Cog.

  • Original vs. reproduction parts, extreme UK weather and the price of nostalgia

    In this week's episode of The LRM Podcast, Martin Domoney and Steve Miller get into the nitty-gritty of replacement interior parts and body panels – are good secondhand pieces the way forward, and can we expect to see reproduced trims and other bits for Discoverys and Range Rovers to the same level as Series and Defenders?

    Steve has found a way to use his Terrafirma tracker as a way to guide his stricken wife home in the midst of a flooded UK countryside, and the boys acknowledge "that" greenlaning video that's flooded social media recently.

    Martin and Steve discuss all you need to replace and chassis or bulkhead, and Feature of the Week and Product of the Week of course star.

  • LRM's Alisdair Cusick on getting into photography, getting soaked and getting the best out of your Land Rover photos

    In this episode, Martin is joined by Land Rover Monthly's longest-serving contributor, Alisdair Cusick.

    Alisdair explains how he got into photographing Land Rovers for a living, and shares some of the highs and lows of his career including filling a classic Range Rover with muddy water.

    He gives up some trade secrets on how you can take the very best photos of your Land Rover for the Your Pictures pages of Land Rover Monthly, and reminisces on buying his own soft-dash Range Rover and restoring his beautifully-patina'd Series One.

    Alisdair also weighs in on how to present Tech articles, and how a little bit of extra work can make a huge difference to the overall finish to the Land Rover.

    As always – please do rate/review/subscribe. It really helps and we hope you continue to enjoy listening to the LRM Podcast as much as we enjoy making it.

  • The Project Triangle, modern reliability and the Jag re-brand

    In this episode, Martin and Steve look back on a day (mostly) well-spent working on Martin's Series III. Keep an eye on the YouTube channel and the magazine for a full explanation of how fitting aftermarket parts with other aftermarket parts can cause more of a headache than it's worth.

    There's chat about reliability – is JLR really worried about how long their products last between breakdowns? Buying habits have changed, and are those people walking into Land Rover dealers really considering any other brand?

    The boys share their take on controversial the Jaguar re-brand, Martin specs up his dream Freelander 2 camping set-up and the guys answer a trio of listeners' questions.

    As always, a rating and review is always appreciated, and please send any feedback and questions to [email protected]. Enjoy the podcast.

    In this week's episode, Martin and Steve get stuck in to answering a plethora of listeners' questions, including how to find out how rare a Freelander is, which is the best non-Land Rover engine to ever grace a Land Rover's engine bay, and there's yet more feedback on which food to eat first.

    There's also chat about the best Land Rover days out in the UK, and how to get your pride and joy ready to take on the colder months, and the shockingly lax attitude to maintenance from the general motoring public.

    You can also enjoy a sneak peek into next month's issue of Land Rover Monthly, and Martin still won't shut up about Range Rover L322s.
