It's the norm on the Isle of Man where it is.

You’ve built a monster truck! That’s what my lad said when he stuck his head into the garage, and to be honest he isn’t far wrong. Tyres fitted to the new rims, rear extended arches fitted, new power steering pipes in, fuel pipes fitted to the...

That looks like the flywheel teeth for the starter ? Others may correct me, but in there should be clean & dry.

Welcome, never too late for a midlife crisis.

Phil, Thank you for responding, yes I would definitely appreciate your used O-ring. The only reason that I called it a solenoid is because when I searched for the part online that specific name came up a lot. I found one on eBay and they...

Hi, Yes im old, no i know naff all and not shy to admit it :) So here we go. After many years ive picked up a Defender at last, im not experienced in mechanics so tech jargon will go straight over my now not full head of hair :D Problem i could...

The AS10 is the alarm & fob decoder, etc for car that use it. It has to do the same job as the BECM does with GEMS. Looking at the Nanocom guide for it, it appears to have better accessibility to the features including the GEMS Immob code...

Now here's a real nice person for you.😄 Let us know how you get on with the 38'.😊

1k tops, total unknown

Why is it on black plates?

Welcome

Hi all, I've been offered this 1989 V8 County 110 Safari by the widow of an old friend who died a while ago. I quite fancy a County but this one's a bit tired and scruffy as you can see from the picture. The shabby bodywork with rusty bits lets...

Gotta have hand throttle for the pto winch:banana:

Hi everyone, just got my 1st (and likely last lol) 110 ht defender and joined here to pick brains as i already need help but will leave that for the proper page. Yes, 1st defender in my late 50's..gotta start sometime :) Pic of my 110, ex uk...

Mate of mine had kidney stones in his 20s. He said it was the most excruciating pain. He has not drunk anything but water since, that was 25 years ago.

Sounds like you've got some general electrical issues there. For ECU type systems (windows, CL etc) to fail and then start working after being reset with the battery off sounds like spikes of power corrupting them. I'm no sparky, but that's...

About wot?

Its a 3.5mm stone so the scanner says, must be moving, pain is constant and I'm only getting part relief for about 2 hours from painkillers, taking codein and paracetomal together. Hopefully it'll ease soon, not getting anything done 😕

Remember they tend to leak under the folds, so do the soapy water check at various heights. For the schrader valves, although I don't use them much, I did when rebuilding my engine a while back just raise & lower the car manually. One thing I...

If the gauge went above normal means it was too hot already cos it leaves the middle at 120*C and the electric fan kicks in at 110 by default, so if it ran full time means there was more than 110*C and that will kill the engine on a long run...

Dynamic pricing :rolleyes:

The O-ring seal is a bit ‘belt and braces’ because the lead screw has a lip seal which should prevent any fluid escaping. So, you may need to have a look at this seal too. New Venture Gear was an American company, so I don’t know if the...

No probs at all, others did it as well

Well well well... Removing the prop was a super easy task. Came out easily and down to the floor with 4 straps. It's not heavy in my opinion... I was expecting 200kg 😂 The afternoon was pretty good, I took it off and the more I looked...

Springs should be fine, replace the bolts with new.

Same as all airlines. I wanted to book a week's holiday in Tenerife in October to meet up with the dottir, hubby and grand kids. As it is skool half term the flights are eye watering high. So booked outgoing flights a week earlier with returns a...

Nope - not yet

Any updates?

A mate has a spare Defender pedal for me to try, also I'm getting a second hand Disco Radiator to mock up and see whats what, might need the Series Rad yet as both can be used from what I've heard

Aye, usually a pig
