    Wont Start

    Ok is there a click sound from the starter / ignition relay when you turn the key to start position? Ie theres a click but the engine doesnt turn? This happened on mine and it was fixed by simply cleaning the smaller lead connection on the starter motor solenoid.

    Because it's an ambulance ????????

    Maybe but sounds like a possible fault through the flasher unit where its found a path to the ignition wiring

    waxoyl

    When you spray it its diluted slightly with white spirit, which in 2 litre bottles is cheap so it isnt that bad?

    landrover thefts somerset tonight

    There was a spate of thefts here in Dorset last week, seems to be a travelling band of thieving bastids. I leave my 110 in a locked yard and now even fit the steering lock and pedal plate, have spent too much time on it to let some c*** just take it. Death penalty to Landy thieves simple and...

    Smileys 110 Rejuvenation Thread

    Cheers Flat! I used a couple of nylon DIY shelf / cupboard support blocks bolted together to create the plastic slide that sits in the runner. One of these has a fixed M6 nut in it. I then turned some Delrin rod I had and drilled and tapped it one end. Cut off the head of an M6 bolt and...

    oil consumption

    Totally agree, a rebuilt NA will last, if you get a second hand TDI you will still have to rebuild it one way or another. Like Flat I love my N/A motor, cheap parts and simple to work on. Will be doing a full rebuild on mine, probably next year as slight oil seep from front and rear crank seals.

    A dash cam for less than £12

    Sadly these things are fast becoming a motoring must have, only a matter of time before I fit one. Have a non recording camera I use on the motorhome for seeing when ****s park or drive so close the mirrors dont show them. Reckon a dash mount for the landy and the motorhome is a good idea

    Smileys 110 Rejuvenation Thread

    Picked up some net pockets at the last landy show and Mrs Smiley reinforced them and added carrabiner clips, so these are fitted both sides of the 110 to keep stuff in for when we sleep in the back. Other little addition is that I get p**** off with the doors swinging shut when they need to...

    Smileys 110 Rejuvenation Thread

    Test drive proved that the CB MIC mount wasnt the best as a few big bumps and could work its way out of the clip. Solution was a simple vertical plate, this keeps the cables clear of the dash and gear sticks. Also fitted a plate to mount the fire extinguisher on so its out the way but can be...

    0-60 - What's yours?

    Reckon with you on that one Flat with my 110! though me ol 1200 BMW (apparently a slow German piece of agriculture of a motorcycle) would do it in around 3 seconds.....p****** off and embarrassing many a jap crap "sports" bike :)

    Transmission clunk

    Also the rear A frame ball joint, jut did mine and stopped a pull away clunk. Can also be caused by worn UJ joints on props as they can clunk on deceleration and acceleration ...oh and welcome :)

    200Tdi lift pump

    Yep agree with that! various ones about so make sure you get the pump with the fittings in the correct orientation, look where the pipes are and should be obvious :)

    Better than no Landy at all though, feel your pain
