Great read and helpful.Lots of pictures so you know exactly what you're looking at.Buy this and the other Haynes series book and most topics are covered well enough to complete.
 The nuts and bolts of a Landrover Restoration Explained August 25, 1999

This book is a must for the first time (or even seasoned) Landrover restorer and enthusiast. It provides detailed information and comprehensive pictures of how to dismantle and rebuild Series Landrovers. It includes a 'what to look for when buying' guide, and is an invaluable aid. Try not to get too many greasy thumbprints on it though, it is a reference source that should last a lifetime! My only gripe is that is concentrates far more on Series 1 and 2 models than it does on the 3. So perhaps a future revision should be to incorporate more data for Series 3 owners and perhaps even later models.
 The Best Manual...Not on It's Own! September 5, 2002

Haynes Manuals have a reputation for being incomplete. This is no exception!
The Project Vehicle is a Series 2A, and there is little Series 3 in the book, not surprising as the original was written around 1985! Series 3s were still new then!(There IS a Series 1 section though.)
What it IS is a manual that covers, if not in great depth, some of the jobs no other manual covers. Such as Chassis repair, outriggers and the rear crossmember. Fitting new seatbelts, free wheel hubs, and the fairey overdrive. Replacing body panels.
This should be read in conjunction with the official Repair Operations Manual, and the Land-Rover Parts book for your particular vehicle.
Also, try joining the Club for your vehicle. Such as The Series Three Owners Club.
 Nice pictures, but not much practical workshop use May 24, 2002

We recently rebuilt a disassembled a 1949 Series One Land Rover, hoping this book would help us. Though the engine part is quite good, many other things are only covered in pictures without explanations or are simply an ode to Dunsfold. Electrics are not explained at all. There is not enough to cover each model and it takes more than 130 pages till the authors actually start writing about a real life project. Why they come up with things like 'free-wheeling hubs save fuel' without any figures to prove that remains their secret.
I'd rather buy the original workshop manual for the model you want to restore, which we did of course.

Felt disappointed after purchasing this book; generally feel it's missing too much out. Some areas are covered well, better than the standard Haynes manual, other sections need to be expanded further, after all this book is titled 'restoration'! Think the money would be better spent on the original Land Rover workshop manuals, even though they cost a lot more. The authors need to revise the first two sections, too much of this manual is spent on the history of Land Rover, showing pictures of all the different series vehicles made and buying tips (the first 45 pages)! They need to concentrate more on what the book is titled!
