I have a 1985 CSW with the Salisbury Rear Axle. Recently, I noticed oil leaking from the cap on the drive hub. After taking apart the rear hub, it became apparent to me that nothing is preventing the diff oil from coming into the hub and into the wheel bearings. Am I missing something? Some...

Has anyone purchased a winch bumper from these guys? http://www.rock-sliders.co.uk/landrover-defender-front-winch-bumper.html Looks like a nice bit of kit. And I have what might be a seemingly obvious question about fitting a winch. Are winch bumpers made specifically to fit certain winches...

I am in need of a Diff Lock Vacuum Switch from an early Defender. Part number is FRC5656.

Can anyone tell me how this thing works? I had to disconnect it in order to remove the gearbox. I am fairly confident that I reconnected everything the way it was. When I pull the switch, nothing happens. If I swap the clear and red tubings, I can get the diff lock to engage but then it...

Just finished with a couple week project of pulling the engine (Defender 3.5L) and gearbox (LT95) in order to replace some leaking seals. While I was at it, I replaced the clutch plate, cover and release bearing. Got it all buttoned back up and went to test drive today. Engine roared to life...

A while back my starter began playing up in my 3.5L. When I would turn the key, I would get nothing. Sometimes it would go back to normal on its own and sometimes I would need to bang the starter for a little persuasion. It has always done the job, but seeing as how I was taking the engine out...

I went to replace the thermostat today in my 3.5L. I've got an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold. One of the housing bolts broke off in the manifold. Thankfully, it was just the head and I was able to get a pair of vise grips on the remaining stud and pull it out without any damage to the...

I am after a part number for the bolts to mate up the LT95 bellhousing to a 3.5, if anyone has it. Previous owner used studs instead of bolts in a couple places and I am looking to correct that and use bolts all around. Studs made it a pain to separate the engine from the gearbox.

I am replacing head gaskets and wanted to know if I can reuse the bolts or if I should buy new bolts or studs. Also, going to replace rear main seal while I've got the engine out. Can I reuse the main bearing cap bolts or should i buy new bolts or studs for this as well?

After some advice. I removed the engine today and it gave me a chance to inspect the clutch. I'm not sure how many miles it has on it, but it doesn't look to be in too bad a shape (see pic below). It isn't quite to the wear indicators yet. The clutch release bearing, on the other hand...

I'm currently running a Mallory Dual Points dizzy in my 3.5 with a power amplifier. Until the vacuum advance went out, all seemed to be performing just fine. A new vacuum advance will set me back £60-65. I can pick up an electronic dizzy for not much more. The question I am pondering is whether...

On our drive down to Dorset this past week to do a little camping, the water pump bearing started to go (water coming from pulley and screeching noise from water pump, as well as the pulley being a bit wobbly). Luckily, the water pump lasted the rest of the drive down to Dorset and then back...

When should suspension bushings be replaced? I don't know that they've ever been changed on my 1985 110. I can see that one of the bushings on the radius arm is cracked but the rest seem fine. Truck drives fine. I'm just wondering if I should proceed anyway with replacing them.

Good Evening everyone. I finally got around to repairing my rear safari door after finally building up the courage to tackle it. Turns out, it wasn't too bad. The door started out with a fair bit of rust on the bottom and the door frame was cracked in several places. I managed to remove the...

Now that I have my 1985 110 V8 running well, I'm starting to turn my attention to the body work. The plan is to remove the chequer plate (might repaint black and then reinstall or might leave well enough alone), repair the door bottoms (severe rust), treat the various areas of rust (bulkhead...

I am trying to research part numbers for the forward and rear output shaft seal felt washers and lock nuts for my LT95 gearbox. I've not had any luck and was hoping that someone on here could provide me with the part numbers I am looking for: Forward Output Seal Felt Washer Forward Output...

Good Morning. I have a 1985 110 CSW, 3.5 V8, LT95 with a Fairey Overdrive. There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on Fairey Overdrives and I am now thoroughly confused. A quick google search or a search of these forums have plenty of information about Fairey O/Ds fitted to Series...

Please forgive the seemingly stupid question. I am still new to Landy ownership and trying to figure it out. I just bought a 60/40 bench to replace the three high back seats in the middle row. The problem is that the seat brackets don't line up with the new seat frames. It seems obvious that...

I recently purchased a 1985 110 CSW with a 3.5L V8 that was replaced in 2009. The guy I bought the 110 from is also giving me the original 3.5L that came with the truck in case I wanted to restore the truck to original spec. My question is whether I should rebuild the engine as a 3.5L 8.13:1...

First time Landy owner here. Just picked up a 1985 110 CSW and am trying to decide whether I should put two 2-man benches, two 3-man benches or four tip ups in the load area. Any suggestions or advice from you pros?
