Having been able to unlock my tail door of my 110 van with a house key I have decided that I want to make the door more secure. Has anyone got any experience of fitting an additional lock to the rear door? It doesn't need to be pretty, something like this vehicle lock (see below) would suffice...

...but nobody's home. I fitted a new radio today on my 1988 110 and I obviously have disturbed something as I cannot turn my driving (main dipped) lights off. With everything switched off, the driving/dipped headlights remain on. I have disconnected the radio and its still happening. The only...

When I got my LR I was told that I had to depress the brake pedel to cutoff the diesel engine once the ignition key was removed. Being a Jap engine, I just thought that this was how it was meant to be done. Yesterday I fitted some LED brake/tail lights (very good purchase with nice even...

Apologies for posting this in the Series forum but I think my 1988 Defender uses Series style seats - certainly my new seat base and rears are also designed to fit a Series. Fitting of the new seat highlighted a problem with my passenger seat - there is no frame to stop the seat base from...

My recently acquired 1988 Defender 110 has turned out to be a bit of a jigsaw puzzle. A set of new seats backs/base has highlighted a problem with the passenger seat frame. Unlike the base of the drivers seat, there is nothing to stop the passenger seat base from moving around. The drivers seat...

My 1988 Defender 110 (originally a petrol) has a bit of a mixed up history. It is now fitted with a Daihatsu 2.8 diesel from a Fourtrak - not my doing. As you can see from the attached photo (closeup detail of mounting points inset), one of the fan blades is broken. However I do not know what...

I have seen that some landrovers are fitted with side lockers - obviously custom fitted. There is oodles of space underneath on my 3 door 110 between the front door bottoms and rear wheels and I think that I would find one or a pair of them really useful. Has anyone ever investigated getting...

Before I bought my Landrover I was warned it would leak. But I am hoping to track down the one that leaves puddles in the drivers and passenger footwell. I suspect that water is making its way in via the window seal and running down inside the door (my door covers are off at the moment and I...

I am probably in need of having to get a few things sorted on my 110. Does anyone know of a Landrover mechanic and/or welder/fabricator in the Surrey, SW London,Berks area who does things economically for the love if it rather than £45/h for commercial reasons. I don't want a cheap job, but a...

Just got a E reg 110 hardtop. Last week I had to change a rear drivers tyre and spotted fluid of some sort on the tyre - bottom or tyre chassis side of wheel. Doesn't appear to be much/any on the steel rim. Vehicle has not moved since. On the new tyre, I spot the same problem, fresh fluid. I...

Just got a 1988 110 Hardtop. My front two tyres are OK - Avon Rangemaster 7.5R16 8 ply (112/110) Two rear tyres are Avon Rangemaster 6 ply (108/106), one is new, one is very nearly out. The spare is probably illegal. So I need a replacement tyre soon. I am either looking for a decent priced...

Hi All I just bought my first Landrover - a 1988 110 Hardtop fitted with a Daihatsu 2.8 diesel engine. Trying to get it straight - paid over the odds on ebay - the guy selling obviously didn't own it long enough to notice any of its faults, or maybe he forgot to tell me before bidding...
