No, not much of a friend and unfortunately I didn't know he was thrashing it till I saw him doing it, and not had a chance to give him a slap about it.

Hi all - long time no post! ;-) I recently lent my 1992 Defender 110 200tdi to a 'friend' whilst his van was off the road - all been fine up till yesterday when it broke down on the way back from a long run down to Eastbourne. I've not seen the vehicle personally yet, and he isn't very...

Oh cock! :frusty: :)

That's fair enough - I guess I'd be happy with £3000

Hi all I've been forced to put my Landy on the market - it's been a project for me for the last year and a bit - I've done loads to it and I was wondering what everyone here thinks it would be worth putting it up for. It's a 1992 Defender 200tdi with about 150k on the clock. Here's a list...

Yeah, I have the railko type. However, luckily I've set them to about 10lbs (which was stated in my Haynes manual), and rave asks for 8 - 10lbs, so I'm in the clear! Thankfully as I've just finished the reassembling!! ;-) One point to note tho, the rave manual said to lubricate the railko...

So you just hook the scales on the ball joint arm of the assembly and pull it, and it should pull with 12 - 14lbs worth of effort, yes? Ok, next question - where can I get a set of scales?? ;-) EDIT : s'ok - found a set at my local DIY Hardware store 2 minutes from me doorstep! Those...

Hi all I'm in the process of overhauling the front axle (new swivel balls, bearings, seals, the lot) following one of the technical guides I found online. I had a question regarding the upper swivel pin pre-loading. I've tightened the bottom pin to the torque settings stated, and put a...

Hi all I have a fairly severe leak on my rear diff (110 Defender 200tdi) from the prop shaft end. I'm guessing there is an oil seal here, but anyone have any experience changing these? Can it be done from the prop end, or does it mean stripping down the diff itself? Also, can the main...

Hi all After my recent MoT failure on my 1992 110 200Tdi Defender I had to do some repairs. The MoT failures were just radial arm bushes and steering damper, which I've changed without any problems. However, I had MoT warnings about wheel bearings and I also have noticed some noise when...

Ok, I've changed out the Master Cylinder and the Servo unit, and also changed the rear cylinder with the slight leak. Pumped new fluid through the whole system as the old reservoir had quite a bit of junk in it - did notice that in one leg of the pipework the fluid was white and milky, like it...

LOL - yeah, I see how that could be frustrating! Well, the brakes have been fine up till recently, and both sides were assembled in exactly the same way, and I have copied the assembly when I put it all back together. One end of the shoe bracket had a slightly longer piece that had a slight...

The pedal goes quite far and soft whilst the engine is running, but pumping it a few times brings it back to normal feel. I've adjusted the rear drums a couple of times now - tightened the adjuster up completely and then slackened it off by one notch. I've followed the Haynes manual for...

Hey woods - did you manage to fix ur brakes in the end? I've got exactly the same problem with my Def 110. I've changed all pads and shoes but still no joy. Has been suggested to try changing the master cylinder, and was wondering if that's what you had to do in the end or did bleeding the...
