Hi I’m changing the indicator lights on my Series 3 diesel and there’s an extra brown wire on the new switch. What should it be attached to? There’s also an old pre-existing brown wire on the fuse box which isn’t attached to anything. Where does that come from?

Hi guys. The first glow plug (the one nearest the bulkhead) blows as soon as I change it. I’ve now changed it twice (the first time I thought I may have bought a faulty one). Any idea of what could be problem and how to solve it?

The seal on my transmission case cover looked a real mess so I decided to give it an overhaul. I think I have now found what is causing the problem. Looks like someone has totally mucked up two of the holes so it's not possible to fit new stud bolts. I presume that my best option is to re-use...

Looking to install a pair of inertia seatbelts on my 88’ hard top. Where have you put yours? It would be great to see photos of the possible solutions.

For anyone passing through Liguria, Italy, I've rented out the spare room as a B&B. You can find me on AirBnB here: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/21454328?s=51

Amongst my dad’s tools are two broken ratchets with missing parts. One is totally jammed and looks like it’s missing a spring. The other one turns but is missing springs, pins and the switch on the back. The one in the top photo is the one that turns and is missing some parts. It’s a TOKU 33038...

The bloke who sold me my Series III also gave me these. He said they are from a Series I. I have no idea if that is correct. How can I tell? If they are from a Series I can they be reused for a restoration project?

I think I may have found Mandy II... While wandering round the hillsides not far from here, I came across a Series III abandoned in a field near a farmhouse. The farmer wants to sell it. It's a bit of a mess but I'd really like to restore it (with a little help from my friends). I'm not in a...

Hi there folks After two years of living out in the middle of nowhere in Liguria in the north west of Italy, I've got a bit of a jam trade going on. It's not official and I only sell to friends. However, this year I thought I'd try to extend my scope beyond the Channel and take a gamble on...

Is the Discovery 200tdi alternator belt? Does 600-13 sound right? Many thanks chaps if you can sort this dilemma for me :)

Hi there folks. I'm having a bit of a problem with a UK supplier (Island 4x4). I ordered some parts from them on 23 March. Since then all my enquiries concerning the status of my order have been ignored, met with evasive answers, etc. So I decided to call them on Monday morning, only to be told...

Have kind of 'inherited' a Land Rover 110 HT dated 1983 and would like to assemble a wraparound front diff guard. Could anyone with a Bearmach BA 125 diff guard assembled on their vehicle post a photo of it for me please? I'm confused as to whether I can fit one onto a left hand drive Landy.

Auto usate: Land Rover, Defender, Defender 90 M16 - 2000 Mpi - Rover T Se AutoScout24 pagina di dettaglio She's up for sale. Can't afford to run two petrol vehicles at the moment. Would be interested in swapping for a 300 or 200 tdi (not worried about right hand drive). The price is...

A friend would like some corner protectors like the ones on my Defender but I can't remember the name of the firm where I got them. I bought mine at the Bristol & West Show last year. Does anyone have any suggestions? These are them :) Any help much appreciated :)

Just spent a great weekend laning with DJXAN and Just Debs here in Italy. This time I was able to join in the fun. I'm sure they will be posting photos too but will upload a few shots from my phone. :D:D:D:D

The silence is eerie....

I know there's very little chance of ever recovering it but just in case I'll post this on here too My friend's red Defender 300 Tdi was stolen from Olbia in Sardinia on 8 August 2013 at about 11.00 pm. Here is video footage of the thieves at work...

I'm translating at the Eurotrial Competition at Montecopiolo (Pesaro-Urbino) all this week. There are 126 vehicles competing including two Brits - Lee Pritchard in a Honda - and Bruce Robert in the only Land Rover taking part. The Brits haven't turned up yet but there are some Finns with an...

I'm fed up with not being able to get spares for my obsolete petrol engine. In Italy it's not possible to switch a petrol engine with a diesel but I believe that in England you can. I'd like to know what paperwork is required. The vehicle is in Italy and has Italian plates but belongs to my...

My mechanic tells me that something on my Landy's ECU isn't working properly. He's got the engine running OK but it goes dead when idling. Apparently I need to find a new ECU with the code: MKC103290 and a throttle valve for a 20T4H engine. For those of you who are wondering what I'm going on...
