    Which belt to use?

    My 110 has a 300tdi fitted by M&D Engineering in 1999. It was when they fitting new engines that were taken as spares for the camel trophy but not used. Because of this it has no engine number.

    Brake discs - Best place online to buy...

    paddocks do good deals on mintex brake kits. not had any trouble with them, had a few sets in the past. Would stay clear of the cheapest discs as they tend not to be that good.

    Best way of removing siezed bolts?

    should be able to do it with a good breaker bar about 2 foot long. are you locking the flywheel with something? you'll struggle otherwise. I have a purposely bent valve that goes in a stud hole and neatly slots into the ring gear. does a grand job! also try heating them with a blow torch. air...

    my mate bought 5 XZL 750's about 5 years ago for his series. they were es mil from the gulf and a coiple had a few stones wedged in them still. He paid £30 each for them as they had loads of tread left on them, really good sidewalls too. Downside is he was so impressed with them, more the...

    Ow my big end

    its an easy job if the crank is still ok but if the bearing has run around the crank then it will be shafted. Engine out job then. either get it reground or an exchange. McDonald Landrovers were doing them for about £150 a while back. I had to replace the con rod aswell on my 200 it had chewed...

    Engine Upgrade? Tdi? Worth It?

    my 300tdi 110 costa me 350 a year with nfu. i'm 25 with 8 years no claims. nfu are pretty lax about landy stuff and presume none of them have the original engine anyway!

    series 2 oil filter housing conversion?

    yes get a housing off a 2.5 petrol. should fit straight on and take same filter as 2.5 diesel, 200 and 300tdi.

    Landrover 110 "F" Reg. Info needed for project.

    looks jap anyway. Depending what gearbox it has your option vary. Presuming it has an lt77 diesel box the easiest option would be a 200 or 300tdi. both of which have come down in price and are relatively easy to put in. or a 2.5 na or td. or 2.5 petrol. If it has a v8 box either lt85, lt77...

    v8 3.9 crank 4.0 ltr crank help

    the 4.0 crank will fit if it has the same size main bearing journals as the 3.9. some older 3.9 were the smaller type. It depends what year the 3.9 is. Just measure them against eachother.
