Evening, Not been here for a while so hope this question is OK. I've also looked for a recent post on this but can't find anything younger than about 2015 so hopefully the question is ready to be asked again! So two issues. I have a 2010 110 with the factory alloys on it. The turning circle...

Now I realise that this will seem a stupid question unless I say that i have owned landrovers for 20 years and have grown up with them since I was 4. I've just bought a 2010 110 crew cab van (so front and middle rows of seats but no seats or windows at the back). The ride is incredibly strange...

Tonight, with a fairly, but I wouldn't say excessive bout of enthusiasm I tried to remove the one way valve that goes into the brake servo (comes out and then at right angles to the servo so facing down). I thought it might be blocked or sticking. The outlet pipe snapped off. I've looked at...

Before you start I'll state that I'm being lazy!!!! However I know that you guys will know this off the top of your heads. Can you tell me the thread sizes on a 1987 90V8: a). The female threads on the fuel filter - the little filter on the out rigger underneath the bulkhead. b). The...

Evening all, We're up in matlock at the weekend with the 110. Anyone know of good green lanes / spots for off roading? Many thanks Jon

Finally got the engine mated to the gearbox and transfer box yesterday. All went pretty well considering. Just one question though. When I engage diff lock nothing changes in the behaviour of the diff output flanges. I can still rotate them and the other one turns in the other direction -...

Morning All, I've got a slightly odd fault with my 110 300tdi. At idle or revving when not moving the engine is sweet. At speed (and in gear) the engine is sweet. However when I depress the clutch whether to come to a stop or change gear just as the engine is returning to idle speed I get...

Has anyone done this on a V8 90? I was going to put the exits, one each side in the quarter panels at the back behind the wheels so two pipes, one from each bank, probably in 70mm stainless. I've read everything about silencers and I realise that I run the risk - so be it, but I was...

I've got a reconditioned LT85 waiting to go in my 90 behind a V8. This is the box that has come out. I have been offered an R380. Is this a straight swap? Is it worth doing as I've heard good things about the LT85? Thanks, Jon

Does anyone know what pressure and volume the in tank pump provides? Doing a rebuild and considering whether I need to fit an external pump or not. Cheers.

Does anyone know which flasher unit you need if you've replaced the bulbs in your indicators with LEDs? Its a 1996 Defender van with the towing pack (which may or may not be relevant - not sure). The four pin units I have seen have pin 4 rather than pin 3 - i.e. they have 49a 31...

Does anyone know what the delivery pressure and flow rates are for the tank mounted fuel pump on a 1987 90? I've rebuilt the engine - (3.9, skimmed to give a comp ratio of 10:1, ported and matched heads, valve train geometry sorted as far as possible with standard parts (pedestals skimmed and...

Just building up the rear axle. I've replaced the axle on my 1987 90 (drums brakes) with a disco 1 rear axle - disc brakes uprated. However I didn't get the disco drive shafts so I'm using the old 90 ones. The only difference is a small ridge about 175mm in from the outboard end of the...

Well I suppose it was inevitable! All parts cleaned, garage properly tidied for the first time in 3 years, and lots of new parts purchased ready to be fitted. Start on the front axle I thought. Forgot to buy the bronze bush and stub axle seal. I'll get them this week. How about fitting...

Just about to get some new bushes. SOme suppliers seem to do one or the other. Is there any difference between them or just a matter of preference? Ta

I'm quite a long way off this job as I've still to port the heads and build the engine up but I've been wondering for a while since I stripped it all down so thought I would ask! I've got a new short engine so not the block originally mated to the bell housing I've got. I accept its all...

I've been looking at the possibility of having 3 or 4 point harnesses for the 90. I would like them but equally don't want to lose all space in the back for additional passengers or load space. Doing the ground up rebuild I have a pretty blank canvass. Has anyone considered a cross member...

For those not keeping up with the rebuild (!), it was a 1987, 90 with a 3.5l V8. That's being rebuilt at the moment on a 3.9l short engine. Anyway, attention is turning to the brakes. Front is sorted - I've got a zeus vented disc conversion kit with S/S pistons, new discs and pads...

Bit of an odd problem. 300tdi, 1998 on an R plate. Took it for a long run today (200 miles). Going up a hill after about 50 miles it started getting a bit sluggish and slowly lost power (2 mins or so). I'd been on a motorway for about 30 miles I suppose and was in a bit of a rush, doing...

Guys, Trying to order a clutch slave cylinder for a 110 Defender, 1998 on an R plate. Engine is a 300tdi. Not near the vehicle but need it for the weekend. Paddock say that they must have a gearbox number - is there no other way of telling by the age of the vehicle. My experience of these...
