Before I get going I accept that a Defender is never going to be a fast vehicle but I think I have some problem or problems and would welcome some advice on where to look. Some background; it's a 110 station wagon on 1996 vintage with 181,000 miles on the clock. I have owned it for 8 years...

Dear all, My 110 county has covered 172,000 miles, the last 22,000 in my ownership. When on holiday last year, fully loaded with family and camping gear it wallowed horribly in corners and when on the Eurostar in a line with other similar vehicles it bounced and wobbled on its suspension like a...

I've recently got my 110 back from a comprehensive tarting-up operation (pics to follow in thread called Rotten doors - your time has come). As part of this process I decided to replace the wheels with LR boost alloys in black. Before this my 110 had silver modular wheels with 265/75s on. So...

Like the British banking system my doors look fine on the outside but beneath the veneer of respectability are a rotten to the core. Having saved up for a year I'm now having them all replaced as well as other areas of bimetallic corrosion fixed. It's also having a respray and a general light...

I've read up and taken the advice from this forum on who to approach for European Breakdown Cover. I've even gone as far as getting quotes from some of them. However, when I double check with the insurers I have found that all of those tried so far will not cover my 110 CSW because of the...

My 110 is currently running BFG 265/75 AT tyres while the door-mounted spare is some ancient Avon item. I decided that I should probably replace the Avon in the event that I might one day get a puncture. While I like the chunkiness of the current tyres I think they're a bit on the large side...

Yes, I said clanking. 110 CSW has been making this noise for about a year now. Mostly I suffer it with the windows wound up so it is tolerable. Either it's getting worse or the summer driving with open windows is making it more noticeable but I can't put up with it much longer. The noise is...

I'm pretty sure that the bush at the top of of the rear damper on a defender (and probably any other vehicle for that matter) should be a tight fit with no play. While fettling the brakes on my 110 yesterday I found that there was about 3mm of play available. Attached are a couple of pics...

This is my first forum post so please go gently with me if I've breached protocol in any way. I am considering upgrading the intercooler on my 300 CSW 110. Other than the cost the things that are making me waver are: a) if an uprated intercooler - ie a full width one such as is made my...
