Maybe I'll fall in love with it in Wales?
But i miss my Disco and when I can see similar 110's selling for £3500 its tempting.

Well I'd love to join you all but I can't get the thing running as it should, so are any of you experts on the 3.9v8efi. Need help so I can come and play. Anybody near Halstead /Sudbury can come and gissa hand or know where to take it that s reasonable, cheers
 
Well chaps the landy is now also being re sprayed so in total
New Engine - Welding Footwell and door - Full respray - Renaul Megan Seats - Full Rewire & blade type fuse board installed - Snorkel all water tight

Cant wait to get it back im not sure when but its going to be worth it. In the mean time im thinking getting a wading kit. I have seen the 200tdi wading kit on ebay and the prices are very different? Is it easier getting a kit or am i over engineering something that could be done by buying some connectors and a reel of pipe? as i have seen them 4 into 1 breather connectors etc. Anyone got any views on this?

loads of threads on it, have a read give you a better idea. most people i know bought the kit, the 4 in 1 manifold are good lets you have just one pipe up the snorkel or where ever you come up.

What's up with it? With an old engine like that it should be easy to fix, once it's set up I would be looking into the air flow meter (can be tested by checking the resistance at the terminals), check the plugs, leads, dizzy e.t.c, if its still not running right it will need someone with a crypton or similar to check the coil and the spark on each cylinder for strength as well as a 4gas test...
 
Picked up another part of the v8 puzzle yesterday, a v8 lt77s for 100 nicker:D wanted the fly wheel and clutch but he wanted 200 for them so told him to fook off as he had his head up his arse if he thought a fly wheel and clutch was worth that, but no biggy will pick one up cheap enough on the bay;)
 
It starts and runs lovely but it ticks over high after a few minutes and ismore irratic as it gets warmer. tried another stepper/idle valve, no difference, unplugged the afm and it conked out so i presume thats about right, also seems to run rich. it does start first time everytime but its not much use as i start a greenlane and one minute it ticks over at 900rpm then 1500 plus which isnt very much fun. I need a clever v8 man to help me out,

Normally MAF stepper motor (ICV) or Air leak.
 
I had a scare earlier this evening. Was on my way back to Colchester from Clacton in the dark and saw a 110 go the other way with a full roof rack like mine, number plate at the front of it like mine and a second set of tail lights above the rear door like mine. :eek:
Quickest I've got home thats for sure, breathed a big sign of relief when I got back and saw it was still on the drive.
