Thanks Flossie.

I currently have a rear salisbury axle fitted with drum brakes and it's pretty worn down. Can I fit a 1990 salisbury rear axle with discs to a 1985 110 CSW chassis with drum brakes? And if so, will I need to convert anything or is it a straight fit? Hope someone knows the answer!

Hi everyone, I've got an Isuzu 2.8 TD sitting in my 1986 110. It's resting on Ford Transit rubber mounts. They're slightly softer than the Land Rover ones, but still transmit a lot of vibrations to the chassis (and the driver!). Can someone point me to the right type of rubber mounts to use...

Thanks! I will check this first...

Hi guys, I need to replace the ignition switch on my 1985 n/a diesel 110 steering lock-and-barrel. I've taken the whole assembly off the steering column, but can't seem to get the switch that holds the spade ends and connects to the wires lose from the lock assembly. Should I just pull hard...

Hi everyone who replied to this thread! I'm back from Morocco and the engine never even needed the fan. Amazingly, even driving 60 mph in 56 centigrade the engine kept nice and cool. It's a 2.8 Isuzu turbodiesel from 1989, but obviously built for dire conditions. Rambling about the Moroccan...

hi there, knocking when going over bumps sounds like a worn A-frame ball joint to me.

Thanks guys, helpful replies all round! My LR has an Isuzu 2.8 TD engine so I guess I'll have to do some serious searching for the original fan and fan clutch! Otherwise, I'll just risk it (I've got an override switch fitted). Best, Bram

Hi, I'm travelling to Morocco this summer and only have an electrical (auxiliary) cooling fan installed on the radiator. Will I need the engine mounted fan with fan clutch as well, or will the auziliary fan suffice in the hot desert air? Hope someone has experience with this...

Travelling to Morocco this summer. Don't have a cooling fan attached to the engine, just an electrical one on the radiator. Will that suffice? Does anyone have experience with this?

Well, in the end the only solution was removing the complete throttle pedal assy. Then hammering out the pin with a nail....

Hi guys, can anybody tell me how to remove the pin-spring form the throttle pedal? Do I have to remove the whole pedal assembly first? Or can I somehow remove the pin-spring in the pedal axle so I can replace the pedal?

Can anybody tell me how to remove the pin-spring in the accelerator pedal of a 110 defender?

Hi Retroanaconda, now THAT was the golden tip. Just goes to show how little I know every time I tackle a new item in the ol' heffalump. Took out the bolts and off the UJ's came. Many thanks, Bram

This I will try, thanks!
