I might be wrong but I’m fairly sure the ‘98 model and the ‘96 model will be using the same key. Both are the 300tdi model years.

I have not used them for a rear door but SP panels were very good for the front series style doors that I ordered as part of my rebuild. I will also be interested in other recommendations for a rear door as I will need one shortly and sp offer...

last time I needed keys cut I just went to my local cobblers. Have had Timpsons do them in the past as well. They ahould Not be uncommon or difficult I am surpised you are struggling.

An unfortunate trick of the light ...

Depends what engine you have. Last time I did mine (tdi) I just sprayed it down with screwfix degreaser and hit it with the pressure washer. I am about to do mine again having blown an oil cooler hose! If you aren’t too worried about the...

You should be able to take an auxiliary ignition feed direct from the back of the ignition switch. Although I would not bother as personally dislike halo lights and think they are little tacky.

If you are referring to the ones on the rear crossmember I replaced them with standard bolts on mine and some large washers. Although a bit of a fiddle there is enough space to get a ring spanner onto them in the crossmember even for large ham...

Now purchased.

just re-drill the mudflaps and or bracket to fit? I have defender mudflap brackets on my series 3 which are a different angle to the series III ones, and then have series mudflaps fitted.

No such thing as not enough drop, someone just hasn't looked hard enough. Regardless of how ridiculously "giant" your tyres are you can get a drop plate to tow. although if they are that giant and you want to tow with it I would advocate for...

The rim diameter 16 inches is the important measurement to make sure you get a tyre that is also for a 16 inch rim. the next important measurement is then the rim width. If they are stander land rover rims the rim width will be 6 inches you will...

It is only that shiny because it is less than 12 months old after having rebuilt it after an engine fire: LINK It is the later model late 300/td5 steering rack. It may be but I have ordered the overprice steve parker kit as I cannot have the...

I repeat we need more information and photos of your vehicle, setup, and currernt towbar and also of the trailer you are trying to tow because it is so variable. As above needed a drop plate for his car trailer whereas I have a 110 hardtop with...

It’s indeed the rubber that has worn through. I was going to a mini could get it repaired at the local hydraulic place so I at least ah e a spare for the future.

I will order some of that. You can see in the engine bay photos whether was a risk of it contacting the inner arch I did put some old radiator hose around it. But didn’t cover the whole length and typically wore through where it wasn’t covered!

Unsurprisingly, for me at least, the MIL and wife did not expect it, the series fired straight up, didn’t even need a jump and other than the transfer box didn’t need any fluids. So I call that a result having been sat since before son was born...

That may be the case but you won’t be able to convert the engine without modifying the engine mounts on the chassis. Therefore altering the chassis and making it different from the v5. Unless you can make up some very intricate engine mounts to...

That would work if I was at home but the mother in laws tools consist of a single battered screwdriver that has been used as a chisel and the free Allen keys you get with flatpack! So trying to find anything useful here is a bit of a non Starter...

Other than replacement is there anything that is likely to repair an hole in an oil cooler pipe temporarily enough to be able to get me home (about 20miles). Or am I leaving it at the mother in laws and seeing if I can get the series to raise...

That was not the case with this Unfortunatly. Took 7l to get it back to full on the dipstick. So it had just pumped all its oil out. .

Give that man a cookie. It was the oil cooler pipe. Despite being new for the rebuild last year one of them had been rubbing on the steering column and had worn through! A new set ordered (at great expense) and I will do more this time to make...

I am in the process of rebuilding a station wagon body to fit to my hardtop that is on a glav chassis. That option would get you a cheaper vehicle to base things off but there are very few 110 around for sale that are on a galv chassis. You would...

When I needed a clutch pipe I treated it like brake pipes and bought the fittings (from Memory I think I had to reuse one end as it was more obscure) an and come cunifer pipe and made my own.

Having thought about it overnight the oil cooler pipes are now the o-ring style that I have not had before. So although the pipes are new (doesn’t mean they cannot fail) I guess it could just as easily be one of the o-rings that has let go in the...

I will check. But wrong side of the engine surely? @lynall best me to it.

Nope. Only the standard warning light switch.

I will check the filter. That was my first thought. Oil cooler hoses are not even 12 months old but will check them as well. Pressure switch I had not thought of. Will check that as well. I assume the best plan is to fill it up and run it to...

On the v5 tax exemption issue that is calculated on a point basis. If you alter the chassis you loose the most points and basically have to keep everything else standard. Someone with more knowledge will be along shortly but I think if you change...

Did oil and filters on the 200tdi on Wednesday. Done about 800miles since. This evening when coming through the village to the mother in laws the oil pressure warning light came on (on properly not a flicker). Went off again momentarily but came...

Although the above is also not the correct stub axle it is for a Salisbury rear axle and does not seem to show a oil seal or bush in the back of the stub axle? As I am fitting to the rear, as the early 110's used FTC3132 as their rear stub axle...
