4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for new car buyers, February 19, 1999

Even if you don't own a new Land Rover the book is very good! My Land Rover 90 2.5L Diesel was purchased third-hand, neglected, and in 'potentially' poor condition. This book helped greatly where my OEM Italian manual lacked (90% of the time). If any owner purchases this book with a new Rover, follows Mr. Porters advice, and uses it in lieu of the provided service manual, his/her Rover will last a lifetime! Guaranteed! I wish my Rover was new so I wouldn't have to complete every required maintenance to 65K miles.

Although bearing some good information, this book was a bit upseting for me. There are two or three chapters with no more than two pages! On the other hand, there is a lot of space wasted. I expected much more information and pictures.

3.0 out of 5 stars Can improve, December 17, 1999

This review is from: Land Rover Defender 90, 110, 1983-95: Step-by-Step Service Guide (Porter Manuals) (Paperback)

Although it contains a lot of useful information, I found it lacking where it comes to really important hints to repair the engine (2,5Tdi). Most of the bodywork I will never try to do myself due to the specialist nature. But I find it disappointing that not much is said about the inside of the engine while so much is said about bodywork (which cannot let you down as an engine can).
