    Thanks V8 man, yes I have been looking but nothing has come up for months (that I have spotted!)

    Which all terrain?????

    I'm having a real dilemma over what boots to buy for my D2. I want to increase size to 265/75/16 and if money were no object I would go for BFG All Terrains, however it is so I'm looking at the following and would welcome any comments/advice. 1. Insa Turbo 'Ranger' - direct copy of the...

    Noisy Rear Wheel bearing

    Also, how safe is it to drive in the meantime? Got a couple of longish motorway trips coming up.

    Noisy Rear Wheel bearing

    Definitely beyond my skills, how much would one expect to pay a garage for this then?

    Noisy Rear Wheel bearing

    1997 110 CSW, the OSR wheel bearing is rumbling, jacked it up and there is a fair bit of play. What's involved here, can it be 'nipped up' or is it a replacement job? Is it easy DIY with basic skills/tools? Thanks in advance

    Oil leak from head bolts?

    No I never solved it, still leaks but not significant so have left it for now.

    Oil leak from head bolts?

    Nope, mainly towards back, front bolt is totally clean????

    Oil leak from head bolts?

    Yes it was clean when I picked up the car, guess the previous owner cleaned it off to hide the leaks!! There doesn't seem to be any oil coming from the rocker gasket which would be an obvious source as it would collect around these bolts as they are lower. Perhaps it's worth giving it a quick...

    Oil leak from head bolts?

    Any idea what Torque should be applied to the cylinder head bolts please?

    Oil leak from head bolts?

    My 110 is leaking some oil from all the 9 head bolts on the top of the engine from the row to the right of the oil filler cap. Not seen one leak from here before, can someone enlighten me as to what can be done to stop it please?

    285 75 16 on a 110 will they go?

    Have been told that I should not fit them on 7" rims though which rules out the nice Boost alloys :-( Will have to go for steel modulars.

    285 75 16 on a 110 will they go?

    Sorry if this has been asked before but can I fit 285/75/16 tyres on a standard height 300tdi 110 with no rubbing of the arches etc on full articulation (They would be on boost rims with 30mm spacers)

    Best 110 engine for MPG?

    What sort of MPG could I expect to get from a 110 with either; a. TD5 b. 300TDi My Disco TD5 Auto is only returning 20.5 mpg which is dreadful, so would a manual 110 be any better? Andy

    Swapping air springs for coils - anyone done it?

    Booked my D2 into Simmonites for some work including a 2" lift, they are recommending that I ditch the rear air springs and replace with coils. The reasoning being better off-road articulation and increased longevity and reliability. I do trust their advice as they know their stuff but am not...

    Langdale Quest - Weds Aug 2nd

    Cracking day, poured with rain which made it much more fun :) Didn't break anything although I had to be careful on some of the sections as there were lots of jagged rocks that needed a spotter to see me through. The hills are good and there was a great distch crossing caused by a deep washout...

    Langdale Quest - Weds Aug 2nd

    Got myself a copy of memory-map and a GPS but planning a laning trip is very time consuming, particularly since NERC. West Yorks has virtually none left so I guess LQ is the easy option for a day out. If anyone is planning any laning trips around the area I would love to tag along though.

    Langdale Quest - Weds Aug 2nd

    Which Winch

    I'm running a Warn 9000i and it has never let me down despite being put through it's paces a fair bit and even submerged a couple of times :) Only using steel rope although I am contemplating a switch to synthetic. I think Warn are more expensive but then I have always beleived that you get...

    Can you give me any details of the 'local club' you are referring to please?

    ...in West Yorkshire?!

    Lived here all my life and I don't know of many at all. There is one that runs from Ilkley over the moors towards Keighley which I have driven a few times. Only about a mile and not really that challenging apart from bits at the Ilkley end that are washed out. A nice gentle run though. There are...
