The LRM Podcast

In this week's episode, Martin and Steve kick off by answering a listener's question about a recently purchased Series I – is it a respray job, or can the paint be saved? Should the restorer rebuild the gearbox himself, or is it a specialist job? Where can he get a new canvas top from?

The boys talk the modifications that make them cringe, and discuss wheel cross-contamination between models works the best. Evoque rims on a Freelander? New Defender steel wheels on a Range Rover? What do you think?

There's chat about the Dakar conversions from days of yore, the right wheelbase for truck cab conversions and the optimal suspension lift height.

How can you save money on your insurance premiums? By being honest about modifications for a start – and the smallest things still count as mods. Being in the enthusiast sector can help more than you think...

There's a new issue of Land Rover Monthly out, and it's a bit of a Discovery special, including a very smart upgraded Disco 2 and a D3 that's knocking on the door of a million miles! Not only that, you can win a radio controlled Series II from Boom Racing, so be sure to get your copy today.

This week, Martin Domoney and Steve Miller are joined by Land Rover Monthly's Market Expert and columnist, Tom Barnard.

A listener's question is answered – what is the best Land Rover investment with £10,000? Everyone has a different opinion, helpfully.

Tom talks car buying and selling at auction, and the three pore over the latest catalogue from a local Classic sale.

The trio touch on the important and highly political topic of Meal Deals – how do you eat yours?

In this week's episode, Oak Ridge Engineering's Chris McCormack joins Martin and Steve for an hour of Land Rover chat. In an unprecedented turn of events, Chris turns from interviewee to interviewer, talks the boys through his process of buying and building his Defender 110 that appeared on the cover of Land Rover Monthly, and why setting realistic budgets and deadlines is important!

Chris reveals his penchant for Corris grey, declares his love for his Discovery 4, chucks in his two penn'orth on influencers and gives some background on what it's like to start and run an independent business in the Land Rover scene,

There's chat about Land Rover events, and a first announcement about LRM Live 2025. Enjoy!

In this episode of The LRM Podcast, Martin and Steve travel to the hills of Shropshire to visit a name synonymous with Land Rover parts and a long-term supporter of Land Rover Monthly, Britpart.

The boys sit down with Managing Director, Paul Myers, to talk upcoming classics, motorsport, New Defender, leaky Discovery sunroofs and the fluctuation and changes in trends through the Land Rover scene, including Britpart's own fleet of Land Rovers.

Among other topics, we get an exclusive insight into which models are on the up in enthusiast circles, which mods are best for which disciplines and how different sized wheels make a huge difference to the way Land Rovers drive.

In this week's episode, Martin and Steve are joined by Land Rover Monthly magazine's Technical Editor, Ed Evans.

The trio chat about Torque Back, early Freelanders and the history of the Tech Section. They also answer listener's questions, including what elements would go into their perfect Defender builds – and Ed's answer surprises the boys.

Wheels and tyres pop up in conversation again – wide steelies or Sawtooth alloys? Steve insults Martin's hair (ironic, given how receding and grey his is) and Ed waxes lyrical about his Range Rover Sport.

Feature of the week and Product of the week make an appearance, and the boys' imaginations run wild with kitchen design ideas. Enjoy the podcast.

In this very special episode, Martin Domoney sits down with Jimmy de Ville off-of the telly to talk about all things Land Rover.

Jimmy shares how he first got hooked on a Series III in the Falklands, his adventures (and misadventures) in tired Snatch Land Rovers when on tour in the military in Iraq and Afghanistan, and how spannering on all sorts of mechanical stuff shaped how his career and hobbies look today.

We get a behind-the-scenes peek at the infamous slammed Series IIA from Goblin Works Garage, and Jimmy shares his views on Series vs. Defenders for daily use.

The pair geek out over radio-controlled models, compare new and old-school technology and Jimmy reports on his recent adventures in Spain in his latest project.

In this episode, Martin and Steve kick off with a hotly-contested Listener's Question on exhausts – is louder better?

Steve makes a shocking revelation on Land Rover Monthly magazines of old, and the pair argue about whether they are "influencers" or not.

The guys also prepare for the three LRM Spares Days in October, and explain that there are more reasons to make it to one than just for vehicle parts. Martin shares a top tip on how to roll wheels along, and Product of the Week and Feature of the Week make an appearance.
