As a new 110 owner I have a million and one questions. So rather than create a new thread for each and every question, if it's OK with you guys, I'll try and keep them all in here. Problem #1. Whoever previously owned my 110, in their wisdom decided to fit door speakers, which is all well and...

My defender has no rev counter so that's difficult. :D

I of course meant 23cm tyres and not 23". My mistake. I'd measured the diameter in inches and the thickness in cm. Doh. Anyway, back to the issue at hand. Definitely sounds like there's something wrong so I'll have to get it booked in for a service and get my mechanic to check out all the...
