# sat nav - autocorrect didn't correct properly !!

Thanks all - sorry if its simple billy and Johnny stuff - but I don't know, and can't get a decent answer - hence coming here! Thanks again for your help - I'm thinking if I just go for a straight 100amp R/H alternator I'll be fine. I've only got a VERY basic radio and occasionally a #### nag...

Evening all, Look, this maybe really simple to all you lot, but I seem to be going round in circles. . . How do I find out what alternator I need?? The thing is, I bought my Defender 110 second hand and have not got it listed anywhere if it's a 200 or factory fitted 300tdi upgrade. Which...

So, What's the best way of insulating my 'pride and joy' against these rather chilly elements. Seen some Whotube videos where foil insulation is applied direct to the walls, roof and tub etc. Is this good, can I not just stick some of those foam camping mats all over the place? What's good...

Well it looks like the right snorkel to me!! Great pictures and enjoy your travels - keep the updates coming in. . .

Evening all, Like many here, I have tried to search various threads but not really winning. I was planning to knock up a similar Roof rack to (Scotland to Mongolia) man. Essentially it will be square tubing in a diagonal cross on the roof, with side supports to reinforce it, and little...

Evening, Can anyone help to establish whether drilling a new hole in my front offside chassis is safe enough to mount a Jate ring? Sorry, can't upload any photos to show you exactly. It's the chassis ends which the front bumper is mounted onto. (mine USA standard non-military bumper, no...

How safe is it to drill through the front offside chassis end. I was trying to attach a jate ring but having a steering guard fitted is limiting my options a bit. (Guard is like the pole/bar type, rather than the steel sheet one). Was thinking if I can drill a new, separate hole just forward...

Allright all, I'm planning a jaunt into Strata Florida next week, does anyone know of any midweek restrictions or closures etc I should be aware of ?? I was planning to start at the Abbey (747657). Then take in a few fords (787623, 803610), but we have a rough 'route' sorted, in as much as...

Hi, Anyone know what sized clear plastic tubing I should get to self bleed the brakes on a 1991 J reg, 200tdi 110???? I saw online a fella do this with a clear tube into a plastic bottle (with a vent hole!) and a spanner. This 'appears' easy, so I'm going to have a go myself, but if...

All, thanks for all your advice, but I think something must be nackered somewhere, as I'm selecting any gear and trying to select either high or low but it just doesn't engage. Been trying to look through these forums and perished/seized linkages might be what my problem is. If it IS this, is...

Thanks for your swift replies, I did take the gaiter off the gear and diff lock to put in some Noisekiller panels, which meant I may have inadvertently knocked it. Being a simpleton, I thought diff lock needed to be in neutral. Is that not right?? I realise this may be as basic as teaching...

Hi all, Just got myself a Defender 110 200tdi, I'm rubbish with mechanics so please help!!! I can turn the engine on, select gear, but when I engage or release the clutch nothing happens, it doesn't pull forward or backwards. Revs work, I just don't move. Weird thing is, I drove it half...
