    Rear Passenger Door Lower Hinge HELP !

    Currently wrestling with a replacement hinge set on my 110 TD5 CSW. Having changed the defunct front door hinges without too much trauma - well drilling out seized bolt / nuts on each lower hinge - so normal routine by Defender standards I understand.) The Rear near side passenger door lower...

    110 spring swap or for sale

    I picked up a pair of rear springs for a 110 CSW from a chap on ebay that sells 'new take offs' £55 inc' delivery. A chap on here suggested new take offs. They arrived spotless, as a pair, with the correct colour code stripes. When I ordered them, I gave the vehicle details - age, 110 CSW 5...

    That was what I experienced when I checked the Terrafirma price for the adjustable shock units, shox being plural as I needed 2 off.. :-)

    Springs & Shox's Recomendation 110 TD5

    By way of an update. I replaced the rear coils for standard 'New take Offs' (£50 delivered), fitted the adjustable dampers as recommended (c£120 inc Del') and new spring seats as the originals were toast. So far Ive only run a couple of hundred miles on roads including a bit of motorway, Got the...

    Springs & Shox's Recomendation 110 TD5

    OK so 2k miles not 2000K ! well spotted. I like the idea of the adjustable dampers - had them on a motor years ago just not a 4x4. Standard springs makes sense as they have coped well in its former life just well rusted now and 'soft' on the near side. Bushes all need a going over as I work...

    Springs & Shox's Recomendation 110 TD5

    Looking on the Terrafirma website ref TF173 - the only adjustable dampers I can see for 110 standard height are £96 each .... unless Im looking at a price for a pair ? ' Stage 4 adjustable shocks' ? Ignore that, Ive just found the same thing for £65 on line ! cheers.

    Newbie here - so, the rear shox are about toast along with the springs on my TD5 110 2002 defender. Looking for some recommendations with the following in mind:- I do not plan on serious axel twisting mud plugging off roading in the foreseeable future. I run a few green lanes and farm tracks...

However both are also rotted at the trailing lower corner of the windows. Is there a ready made patch for these areas also ? I know replacement doors...

    My First 110

    Newbie here, so no shouting at me. Drove my first proper landrover LWB in Wales as a ranger in 1988 full of school kids and me still a teenager ! Always wanted one since. My first was a RR Classic 3.5 V8 LPG converted. Loved it until I stuffed it up the rear end of trailer being towed with no...
