    Thanks to everyone at Peterborough!

    I wanted to go to this but I'd spent the week in Snowdonia and the trek from there to Peterborough, then back to Stoke on Trent would have cost a shedload in Diesel so decided against it. Is that the final Land Rover show of the year now?

    Liam - I'm also in SOT. Go Outdoors in Hanley (The old Tesco) have an extensive range of Ordnance Survey maps.

    Twin battery and charge system

    Nice one, this is something I'd also like to get done before winter sets in.

    Christ, they're not that tidy - low power welding in confined spaces joining 2mm plate to 20 yr old 1.2mm pitted sheet isn't the most ideal task! This is my regular standard

    I've currently got a couple of lengths of surplus 80 x 40 x 4mm RHS in stock and loads of tube lying about for the tree sliders so they'll cost nothing. My tubular bumper will be made from Ø75 x 5mm CHS. I think that since I'm replacing one rear outrigger I may as well do the other side so...

    still looking, hard work !

    I bought my 110 a few weeks back for £3300. He offered me 800 quid for my MOT failed Disco and I was happy with that so I took him up on his offer against this 110. The 110 is a bit rough cosmetically but it drives great and appears to have no major mechanical faults. I was aware that the...

    Further jobs are to replace both body cappings, offside rear outrigger and nearside front outrigger. Also need to buy a steering guard so that I can build a nice tubular bumper around it and also a pair of tree sliders. Should keep me busy for a couple of months.

    I've today finished plating both footwells and repairing the corrosion on the battery box and toolbox under my seatbox. My outrigger will have to wait a couple of weeks and since I'll be removing my seatbox again I've not fully cleaned it up and sprayed it, simply down to time. I'll do a...

    I have my fabrication workshop to work from so that's sorted. I'll see if I can scrounge a camera tomorrow from the owd dear.

    In at the deep end

    Today I have decided to do some repair jobs on my newly acquired 110. I found a bit of rot in the driver's side footwell last week so prodded it through with a screwdriver to see the extent. I have today and next week off work but am off to Wales on tuesday so I have four days (well, three...

    Biggest tyres on a standard height 110?

    I think that's the size I've whittled it down to now.

    285 or 265 with lift on 90?

    Wasn't your lift a whopping 4"?

    Lower on one side

    I too have a 45mm difference in height - driver's side being higher. Was told by the garage I bought it from that this tends to happen over time whereby old springs will flex at different rates and eventually sag differently. I intend to swap my suspension at some point but for now it causes...

    Hi 'Jack' You have the same 110 as me and i was wondering what size tyres you're running? Do you have a lift or is it standard? Got any more pics of your 110? I've only just bought mine and it's pretty standard at present apart from chequer sills and a snorkel. steve.

    Footwells

    This is a great thread. I'm going to be replacing both footwells when I have a few days off in early September and was hoping that I'd not have to remove the bulkhead as my project is my daily runner and so can't really afford to be stripping her completely and being off the road for more...

    Biggest tyres on a standard height 110?

    Aaaah, it's a percentage. That clears it up then. Thanks, that's exactly the answer I was looking for. So, would I require wheel spacers beyond a particular width? Sorry to come across a bit thick but I've never really been into ****ing about modifying chavmobiles in my younger days...
