About The LRM Podcast

The LRM Podcast treats Land Rover ownership as a shared long-term condition: enjoyable, expensive, occasionally ridiculous and full of small decisions that matter. Martin Domini and Steve Miller anchor the conversation with the easy rhythm of people who have spent too much time around old trucks, auction listings, parts stalls and jobs that should have taken half as long. The show is not slick. That is part of its usefulness. A fluffed introduction can stay in, a pub recording can follow a Discovery rescue, and a listener email can send the whole episode into lower dashes, oil filters, police-spec 90s or the wisdom of owning too many vehicles. The practical value is real. Episodes spend time on how to spot suspicious sellers, why a chassis check matters, what tools make TD5 jobs easier, and how modern canvas differs from older soft tops. The advice usually comes with a shrug, a memory and a warning about space, money or knuckles. Guest episodes broaden the lane without losing the workshop-bench feel. Jon Masters talks through G-WAC Discoverys, Camel Trophy restorations, Wolfs and basic tools that make life easier. Nick Dimbleby brings photography, Land Rover history, TEW, a unicorn Disco 3 and Range Rover Classic detail into the room. Ian Arthur appears around the Discovery 2 Td5 rescue, giving the show one of its more hands-on recent stories. The wider Land Rover Monthly world is always nearby: Ripon Auto Jumble, Newbury, LRM Live, YouTube videos, magazine subscriptions and reader questions all feed the conversation. That gives the podcast a club-like texture without making it feel closed off. It assumes listeners enjoy model codes, parts talk and restoration judgement. It also remembers that even enthusiasts need plain advice about leaks, scams, tools and what not to buy. For the right audience, that combination is the point.

Made for: For Land Rover owners, restorers, buyers and marque obsessives who enjoy practical detail, used-vehicle judgement and event-season gossip. It especially suits listeners who already know the difference between romance and rust.

What sets it apart: The show stands out by making ownership advice feel like a working conversation rather than a polished buyers guide. Its strength is the mix of magazine access, listener problems, hands-on vehicle stories and dry realism about keeping Land Rovers alive.

Martin Domini and Steve Miller turn Land Rover ownership into an easygoing workshop conversation, moving between buying advice, restoration decisions, maintenance questions and the pleasures of keeping several temperamental vehicles on the road.

Best episodes of The LRM Podcast

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

How to avoid getting ripped off when buying a Land Rover, angle grinder inflation and The Crusty SportApr 15, 2026

Practical Land Rover buying advice with clear scammer warning signs.

The discussion tracks Land Rover buying advice from old classifieds to Facebook Marketplace, with Martin and Steve zeroing in on the warning signs that matter most: seller history, profile age, too many cars listed too cheaply, and the familiar deposit request.

Tackling a restoration, Land Rover dogs and diff pinion oil sealsApr 8, 2026

Grounded Land Rover talk on ownership, restoration choices, and the maintenance burden of keeping too many on the road.

The episode starts a little loose, then settles into practical Land Rover talk about ownership, repair choices, and the tradeoffs that come with trying to keep these vehicles in good shape.

Jon Masters on G-WAC Discoverys, Camel Trophy restorations and rescuing WolfsMar 11, 2026

A warm workshop chat about bad bids, useful tools and Land Rover enthusiasm.

Jon Masters returns for a Land Rover chat that opens with an accidental Wolf 110 purchase at Witham Specialist Vehicles and then settles into workshop tools, auction bidding and the kind of jobs that make powered ratchets feel necessary.

Buying the best daily-driver, Land Rover revivals and the truth about modern soft topsMar 4, 2026

A newly bought Series 2A 109 anchors a practical, owner-focused Land Rover conversation.

A listener's newly bought 1969 Series 2A 109 gives the episode its shape, and the discussion stays grounded in the kind of ownership detail that matters.

Nick Dimbleby on photography, TEW, his unicorn Disco 3 and perfect Range Rover ClassicFeb 25, 2026

A long, useful Land Rover chat with enough project-car grime to keep it honest.

Nick Dimbleby's return makes for a long, useful Land Rover chat. It begins in Somerset, moves through his love of cars and photography, and follows the thread from a military bitzer to TW and the Vehicle of Doom phase. The best part is the detail.

Nick Dimbleby's Himalayan Freelander AdventureFeb 18, 2026

A Himalayan Freelander story where traffic, altitude and mechanical strain shape the adventure.

A Freelander bought through eBay carries Nick Dimbleby into a Himalayan journey that was never originally meant to end up in India. Martin Domini and Steve Miller keep the focus on the road as the story moves through dense traffic, steep climbs and the strain on the 1.8 engine,…
