Hi all, keen to take advantage of the knowledge of you guys! I`ve got a 1987 110 200 TDI conversion and want to know whats currently limiting my articulation (I want as much as possible while still being able to use it as a daily drive= no rose jointed bushes haha). Front axle: OME +2 shocks...

Getting paid some money in about a month or two. Think I should invest in a compressor so I can waxoyl the chassis each summer (to save on the £500-£600 of having it done professionally) and give the outside a bit of a respray with genuine Nato Green. Just a general inquiry really, how many...

Thanks for all the suggestions, the breaker bar arrived which made it much easier to remover the drain plugs. Very glad I did the front diff as the oil that came out of it was black! I even took out both plugs and sprayed the inside with lots of WD40 to remove a bit more of the black oil...

Thanks for all the suggestions! I am currently waiting on a 75cm breaker bar to be delivered from ebay, so will try that directly into drain plug. Will try using the jack trick, and if it still doesn`t work I will try the EP90/acetone mix . I will keep you updated :)

Brilliant, that should make things so much easier! I am currently using something similar to this Laser Tools | 1578 | Drain Plug Key - 8/13mm Sq. so will buy a 8mm to 1/2 inch socket adapter to go with the breaker bar. Cheers!

Hi, basically checked the oil on my defender and the oil in the front axle really needs a change-it was black and grimey. I can get the fill plugs out of both diffs easily. Also want to change the rear oil as I have no idea when it was last changed. I have removed all the accumulated grime...

That`s all fair enough :) going to be an axle swap years in the future then! I`m going to ask santa for a mig welder if I`ve been a good boy. thanks again for the advice

I have wolf rims atm and plan on reusing them due to their strength, been told they will fit is that true? Is there any other way of increasing ground clearance other than an axle swap and fitting larger tyres? :) cheers!

I`m running some very worn 235`s (trying to make them last as long as possible before buying the new set), have money set aside for some BFG mud 285/75/r16 to get a bit more clearance :) , hoping these will be fine with the heavy duty shocks and springs! What are top jates? never heard of them

I want to try and use cut-down jate rings as recovery points, and weld them much higher up and further forward than they normally sit. Attached is a photo with bull bars the same as mine, I want to have the recovery points welded to the right and left of the eyes in the photo...

Thank you Marmaduke! I will start looking for a 90/110 disc-breaked rear axle then, I am hoping that the money I make off selling the salisbury will be similar to the cost of the other rear axle. Thanks flying Pete another mystery solved, for me at least haha :)...

Hi all, definitely getting into the whole landrover thing! Took my 110 camping this weekend and did a bit of light off roading, loved it as always! Have a few queries/questions... 1) What is the difference between drum and disk breaks(looked already but just got confused)? What will my 110...

Thanks for the replies :) I did use high tensile bolts to replace the rusted ones so hope those should hold! I may need to fit a new bumper then if it`s not safe for recovery?

Recently replaced all 4 bolts holding on the military bumper on my 110 as they were rusted (looked deeper than just surface rust). Was wondering if anyone knew what the bumper with the standard towing pin is rated to? Just curious really! Cheers :) Also what is the rear nato towing pintle...

I will let everyone know after a few tanks :) worst case scenario don`t think it would do any damage to my 200tdi, not in that amount anyway
