    failed mot

    60p! The amount of times I've fixed my car for around this price is hilarious. Especially when someone is whingeing about garage fees and the cost of running [ab]normal cars.

    300tdi fuel injection pump mods

    K I guess the chap got a bit excited and thought for a second that he knew what he was talking about. Ta

    300tdi fuel injection pump mods

    I have a Disco 300tdi in my 110. It works nicely (apart from the Disco transfer box making me do 2nd gear 20mph on some hills). Bloke looked under my bonnet and saw that I had removed the EGR system including the FIP connection to the ECU. He said it wouldn't be running best since the computer...

    Spare wheel rear door bracket

    Hello folks, I'm wanting a standard bracket for mounting a spare wheel on the rear door. One off a series vehicle or defender will do. I'm driving to Okehampton from Sheffield for this weekend so was hoping someone on the way might have one I can collect. Ta

    Forests to be sold for development

    Does this mean I can buy some forest and build an Ewok village (with Land Rover parking)

    Brake disc part

    The front hub on my 1984 110 is bust - one of the bolts that holds the disc on has sheared and punched a hole in the drum - shaped bit. I'm going to need another part but which one? Will the hub and disc off my 1994 Disco 1 be the same? I'd like to know before I strip down my Disco 1 or do I...

    200 tdi engine rattle

    I'd still be suspicious about the fact that it revs ok when at standstill but rattles when moving. I'd be thinking transmission, hubs or exhaust. It's difficult to tell without hearing it. I like your idea of injector testing, pos. Is this basically how a specialist would do it? I guess a...

    Trewey's home made Snorkle.

    That'd look good with razor wire wrapped on your light bar to stop folk climbing up

    Comical lesson

    I drove through a biggish puddle on the road at about 15mph for a laugh. Big splash, nowt stupid... ...but then it made a fast loud clattering sound from under front somewhere. I first thought water into air inlet and bust con-rod, killed engine and rolled to a stop. It turned over and started...

    Avon Rangemaster shock

    er but since when were brakes safety critical ;) I got a price £47+ per caliper. I also got a price of £90ish+ I wonder if the cheaper one lacks pistons and seals so that when I say what the fork am I supposed to do with this he tells me he hasn't got pistons and seals - best check So are the...

    Avon Rangemaster shock

    OK my o/s/f brake bound on whilst on the motorway at 40mph. This will probably explain the occasional pull to the right. The pads are crumbling, the cylinders are past their best. Wallet time, wheel balance, then try driving fast in a straight line again...

    Installing a Stereo System LR 90 200 Tdi

    The wiring harness has a permanent 12v (to keep the radio memory) and an ignition switched live to turn it on. I replaced the ignition switched 12v with a switched wire from the battery (with fuse) so that I can use stereo with ignition off / keys out. Just need an aux. battery now to run my...

    Avon Rangemaster shock

    I will have them balanced as soon as I get the chance. They are running at 28psi... apparently this is correct. The steering box should be fine - it was with the previous tyres and wheels combination. I will test some more and bear in mind the stiff side wall issue. 500 miles round Manchester...

    Avon Rangemaster shock

    I've just put some Avon Rangemasters on my 110 after running some Disco size things on Disco steel wheels - theses are a bit smaller than the 110 7.50 x r16's I put a Disco transfer box in and was struggling to get used to the change in gearing. The gearing seems much better now. But, whereas...

    What colour....

    How can you drive without a passenger door mirror? I'd take the drivers door off like one o them Sherpa's where you're allowed to drive with the sliding door open. It is quite good fun driving without the bonnet on too.

    Here on the advice of a friend

    Hello all, I am on the LRO forum as ciderdrinker (I drank some just the other night!!) For getting on 10 years now I've had a 1984 110. It has now been rebuilt on a refurbished chassis and upgraded with a 300tdi engine and transfer box out of a Disco 1. I can usually be found near the eastern...
