Morning all. Had a bit of an odd one this weekend - gear lever seizes up after a motorway run but is fine when it cools down again. Round the lanes and b-roads it's fine all day long, but sit in 5th for 50 miles on the motorway and the stick no-longer self-centres and needs a certain amount of...

Spotted a headlight and a side light (on different sides) out when I got to the station this morning, so hopped on the train and pulled up the owners manual - only to find it gives just the wattage and not the type of bulb needed! A quick search on a few obvious sites revealed that some places...

Evening all As the subject suggests, I've got a little damp patch... It wasn't there this morning when I loaded the boot, but when I unloaded it an hour later there was a damp patch on the ceiling and a puddle in the boot. On the way home, it dried up again - but it's occurred to me that I...

Now I know this is a topic that has been done to death, and I know how many threads there are about it, but I thought I'd share this just in case. When I picked up my new Disco 2 a couple weeks ago, my excitement of having a stereo (coming from a Defender) was dampened by the farty buzzing...

Morning all. After several years of hanging out on the Defender side of the site (under 2 different names over the years), I've finally joined the more motorway-friendly side of the Landy family! The 110 300Tdi is about to be sold, so I've just picked up a lovely D2 TD5 ES that's bristling with...

Ok people, I've found a new intermittent leak from behind the dash in the 110 that I'm reasonably sure is responsible for the rotten floor on the passengers side. It's not coming from the screen hinge bolts but working it's way in from behind the dash somewhere - I'm guessing it's screen /...

Looking for the plastic trim that goes either side of the safari door in a 110 (and presumably 90) station wagon - the bits that go round the little quarterlight windows, NOT the big opening / side windows. Has anybody got any kicking around in the shed they don't want? Happy to pay and arrange...

So the good news is that, 4 months after she was stolen, the Police have found and returned my military 110 and amazingly she's still basically in one piece albeit on false plates and looking like she's been parked in a swamp. Obviously the ignition barrel / switch is long gone (my packet of...

So the most modern Landy I've ever had (1997 300TDI) is also the first to have no fuel warning light. Personally I can read the gauge but my other half assumed it has fuel until the light comes on... I once fitted an aftermarket warning kit to an old Jag that just triggered a light from the...

So I've had the 300TDi 110 for about a week now, and aside from a few minor issues (still can't get the window up, still not sure what;s hiding under the amateur waxoyl, still a little nervous about the bodged bulkhead repair) it's started instantly every time and has good road manners. Until...

Afternoon all. I've just picked up my brand-new, 18 year old, 300 Tdi 110SW to replace my stolen ex-mod 110V8. It's quite different to what I'm used to - it even has carpet. Feels all wrong. Anyway, I'm looking forward to finding all the things that don't work (courtesy lights! It has...

A couple of times a month I need to cross a ford a couple of times (out and back). At this time of the year it only reaches about 60-70% up the wheel, so no biggy, but at the back end of the year it can comfortably cover the tyre. My old (stolen) ex Mod V8 had a raised intake / wading kit and...

Morning all I was just perusing a well known online auction site for EGR removal kits, and the range of prices was quite amazing! Is there any difference between the £10 kits and the £125 kits (assuming they contain the same basic parts, ie new hose, blank plate, gasket, clips, screws)...

Has anybody just ditched the plastic headlight surrounds - and if so does it look ok or are there loads of odd holes? My Military never had them, and that looked fine, but then it was a little less refined all round... Currently considering either trying to match them to the body colour or...

I've had a good rummage for this, but aside from the odd reference to van deadbolts that appear to require a certain amount of metalwork or padlock / hasp systems, I don't think I've found an answer. Apologies if this is one of those questions that comes up time and time again! I won't be...

... is there such a thing? Has anybody tried to make one or 'adapt' one from another marque, or am I the only person who thinks it might be useful?! Having sadly lost my Military 110V8 soft top of 15 years to thieving scum last month, I'm about to replace her with a 200Tdi 110 County...

Taken on April 17th between 10am and 5pm Taken from Pangbourne Station car park 'Megsy'' (G316 TGF) is a soft-top military 110 V8 in Nato Green & Black DPM colours. Half a raised air intake on the offside wing (the other half is still in the workshop!) Orange IFF tags on n/s wing mirror...

Just a quick hello as it's been a while - I used to hang out here under a different name, but I've forgotten it and changed email addresses so I thought a fresh start was on the cards! Just had my ex MOD 110 V8 nicked from a station car park and about to source it's replacement (my first...
