Or grease will do. All youre trying to do is keep the temp down!

Thats fairly decent for an auto! Often seem them in the mid to high teens. My 110 around town returns abour 20 - 24mpg, heavily tuned but mway driving 28 - 32

Same. Not really a thing in the UK. Older land rovers are very easy to work on and fairly difficult to get things wrong in terms of fitting suspension. End of the day the front end is only 3 bolts (think) to change a front damper and spring on a...

You can get Defender AC Condensors off ebay for £120 + a 15" fan for how ever much you want to spend, I went for Spal for £80. Why do you want to avoid the the AC grill? Can often be had for £50 look much better imo! You can tap stainless use...

Forgot to add... Just waiting on a few bits to arrive. Normally closed pneumatic solenoid, dont trust the alliexpress one to actually last 😅 Will mount it in engine bay on the bulkhead Also got some stainless steel braided sleeve. I can run...

Finished all the welding on the exhaust! Sounds bloody brilliant!! 😄😄😄😄 Also forgot how much exhaust noise is actually taken out by the VNT so its perfectly acceptable to drive around in ASBO mode 😂 normally. From the drivers perspective 😅 On...

not for road.....you ever tried walking in football boots on pavement? you gonna end up in a ditch....Nuff said. £450? :):):D seems expensive....hope it includes the speakers...

The tread pattern. Very loud, very noisy, bad in the wet, bad on tarmac. Just generally awful on the road. If you want mixed use the any all terrain or something like Toyo MTs. What is the use of the landy?

What about them? For just off road use then yeah great. Road use lord no, mixed use also no.

Rocker cover bolts are fine to reuse. Need a dab of RTV around the halfmoon on the rear.

Yup that'll do it!!

I'll pull the old one to bits and post some pics once I've got the new one on. Suspect the bore must be shot / heavy rust / pitting on the cylinder. I'm pretty sure I cheaped out when I bought the rear calipers way back when I refurbished the...

Jesus! Deffo need anew caliper!!

Then it wont make much of a difference at all.

Have you got a cat fitted? Try sitting at 70 for 3 hours. They make a huge difference.

😅😅😅 cheers man. Happy to help! If you use button heads get A4-80 I always find the A2 ones round off very easily! And always run a tap thru the rivnut after!

Yeaaah glad they arrived! Id use countersunk rivnuts on the sides gives a nicer flatter fit!

Just took delivery of my stainless repeater guards from "Bankzworx" 😁 Superb!

Looking the bollox mate, loving the fabrication as well 👌🏻

Day off? I guess well I was still a work... Started on the valved exhaust! Not the easiest thing to make ALOT of rolling under and checking, even though I was using the original midbox as a template. I know 90° bends arnt exactly ideal...

Yeah absolutely love it driving it. Just feels so much more enjoyable than the D2!

Really coming along there mate , bet it’s so nice being back in a 110

Busy day again! Seeing as the rollcage fitting is looming at the end of the month and given my new pressbrake abilities I thought id try my hand at the A Pilla cable runs! Came out rather well I think! Much neater solution than zip tieing...

Only went and did some off roading! 😅😅 Went to Slindon Safari, only 40mins from me. Sadly didnt get many pics or videos as shortly after we arrived the drivers side CV started clicking its tits off... Slindon was fun though, nice site. Very...

Hey, Got a few of these for sale if anyone would like a pair. Made from 3mm stainless steel. 6.5mm hole They may need some light cleaning up. Can include stainless M6 rivnuts & M6 Cap heads if wanted. £30 Posted.

Had some more thoughts! So the pano glass could be fairly vulnerable when off road so I thought I could make some window guards that clip onto the rollcage! Then to add functionality I can design it to fold down and act as a shelf or table...

Since I got the 110 ive wanted utility sides. Just looks much better imo, especially as ive removed the boot seats and no plans to ever refit. But 110 van sides are very expensive and a fair bit of work to fit. S3 88" sides fit and are cheap...

Ahhh I see! Tricky to make something without having it here to check against!

Fitting a few lights.....will cut somefeather edge slices / mounts to fit behind to reduce the kick out but just could not be arsed today.

What ones have you got? I expect I could make something to suit. I will have a look and drawing an L shaped with with the same detail as the front. Might look quite good
