Yet another chapter in the unending saga of my 110/2.5D engine swap... Got the engine back together after replacing a piston with a broken ring. All set, oil in, water in...what's that noise? Water running in volumes from the join between head and block at the back right. :( BUGGER...

My yard is starting to look like BL in the 60s...lots of annoying Land-Rovers. My 1964 Series IIA 109 is acting up was running perfectly and has suddenly developed a high-speed miss. Once the truck warms for 5-10 minutes, pushing the revs results in a miss/stumbling. When it first happened I...

Got the new-to-me 2.5D from the 83 110 out of my truck over the weekend and gave it a thorough cleaning. One thing I was amazed to see was a timing pointer on the timing belt cover! :eek: Anyone ever seen one of those on a 2.5D either? I expect this is something that got deleted after the 83...

Picked up my new-to-me 2.5D last night. It seems in great shape, though there is one bit I noticed that has me scratching my head a bit. At the manifold front side of the engine there is a stripe of oil down the block which doesn;t seem to be coming from the valve cover (my usual suspect)...

So, in my ongoing quest to deal with the 2.5D lump under the bonnet of my 110, I've been offered (and promptly bought!) a 2.5D with a whole 45,000 miles on it. I am pleased - thought I'd end up having to buy some shagged-out lump and rebuild. This suits me... :) However, as the engine is...

My 110 (ex-MOD likely ex-ambulance) has a venerable 2.5D in it with well over 300000Kms. Still runs well, but it occurs to me that it is likely due for a refreshing and/or replacement with an overhauled unit. Question I put to the assemblage (yes, you lot) is how do I determine this other...

Yes, I know, with a 2.5 NA how can you tell...very funny... My daily driver 110 - 2.5 NA has been acting odd. While driving along at a steady speed the engine feels like it's missing beats - a bit of a stutter that was not there previously. Not hugely smoky, though i am noticing a bit of blue...

Hey, folks. Thinking about having at least lap belts in my S.I. I will go three-point eventually, but don;t have time right now to make the inserts for the sides of the cab top for the upper pivot. What have folks done for mounts to the seat base and body for the two ends of the belt? I...

So, I've gone mad and I'm finally going to fit the 200TDi that's been decorating my garage into my 110. I'm going to get it the proper rad, but do not have the frame for the rad and intercooler to fit in place of the 2.5D bit. Any chance anyone has one of these off a car and can give me a few...

Have had a 200tdi sitting in my garage for a long time - had to pull the 2.5D out for a bad clutch and had the mad idea that now was the time to fit the 200! Fired up the TDi on the garage floor and it went right off - but the throttle didn't seem to do anything and it was while not at full...

Had an unpleasant surprise from my 110 beginning of this week. Shoved the clutch pedal down and it stopped half-way - enough to stop forward motion but not enough to disengage the gearbox to shift it! Of course, i found this out in stop and go traffic. Lovely.:eek: limped it home (clutch...

OK, need to get a new set of gaskets for my Series I's gas tank. The filler and sender gaskets are the same as IIA and later, but the rubber ring in the cap I'm not sure about. The filler on the tank will take a military cap, so i'm going to safely i think assume that the rubber gaskets are...

looking for a good (not leaky) 2.5D injection pump. My truck pulls like a train, runs fine, but leaks like the Andrea Doria... Will need posted to the US, but will happily prepay all expenses. I've bought from folks here before, and been about for more than a bit so no i am not a Nigerian...

I have searched the archives and not run across chapter & verse on this - so do tell - can one run D1 steels on a 110 safely? I have seen comments about the wheel weight rating and such but didn;t run across a statement of what the numbers actually were. Do tell or a pointer, please...

Had to pull the top cover off the DPS pump on my 2.5NA recently to sort some totally perished O-rings on the throttle shaft. Unfortunately I had to remove the fuel setting screw at the back of the pump cover to get the bleedin' cover back on - disturbing the setting. Thee truck is running...

So, mad as I am I am considering buying a Series 1 86 of 1954 vintage. Ex-Australia truck in what seems to be very good condition, it's been converted to a 2.25 engine (which i have NO problem with). Question I have is what else is likely to be unique in the 86es that didn' t carry forward...

Well, I need to replace or repair the front axle casing on my 110 86 ex-MOD truck. Had a diff failure last week that punched a hole in the casing... :-( It is at present epoxied over and should function OK, but I want to either replace the already-beat-up front pan or replace the casing...

Hi, lads. Got a 200TDI sitting in my garage that I bought about the time I bought my 110 2.5D. Haven;t gotten around to fitting it, but thinking this spring may be the time even though i find the 2.5 entirely adequate. However, this 200TDi has sat for several years since it came out of...

Morning all. on the way to work this morning I was greeted with a shuddering, underpowered Diesel halfway through my commute - i'd fractured a Diesel injector pipe (#1). Now I am a bit conceerned - as this pipe was replaced no more than a month ago as the original 20-odd year old one had...

5 or 6 years back i bought an ex-RAF Series I 80-inch as a restoration project. Disassembled it, stored the parts in dry storage, and have sad to say realiized I'll never get the time to put it back together again. So, reasonably complete Series I 80-inch for sale as parts, or parts from same...
