Cheer mate. Next look see is to check the power supply to the pump. I think I’m on 2 jets and a single pump. So simple enough to put ammeter across it. Rgds

Hi all. After a frustrating few weeks with the steering box dropping all the fluid between Morrisons and home finally fixed (without need for a new box) and a new upgraded alternator fitted, went out today and washers not working. Wipers work fine. Washer bottle has fluid in it. No pump noise...

Cheers - Just emailed www.thexmod.com Showing out of stock. Looked at general trailer locking pins - as you say loads of them and sword pins. Need to get to trailer and check the size of the one fitted. Thanks again. The chase goes on. :)

Thanks all. Checking out the links. Thanks dag019 - saw that pin on eBay. Pic shows that it looks somewhat shorter than the Sankey pin. Also my mate a Landy restorer is going to the Peterborough auto jumble and he's agreed to keep an eye open for one. Failing all else it's make one. I'll keep...

Hi all. I'm looking for a new spring loaded locking pin - the one for locking the steady legs down/up - see pic . currently locked in up position by a nut and bolt. Safe enough but a pain in the proverbial when it comes to dropping the leg down. I've trawled good old www (eBay, LR Spares etc)...

Thanks for the replies guys, Job done. fell back on experiences working on classic minis. It's a bit tight in there in places. Rgds

Hi all, just to clarify - it's an ex-military defender so it had an NA engine during service - should have been clearer when I first posted - dooh! Here are 2 shots of the filter canister. You can just see the nearside wing in pic1 with air pipe going to the near side wing intake position...

OK, bit of an odd set up. 1994 110 Defender with 300tdi engine. Engine is a replacement for the original NA. Air filter cannister and intake is the one from the NA - sits on near side just behind the headlight.. Seems to work fine, engine runs a little rich I think. Before I go blundering in -...

Cheers guys. So far in cab I've done the passenger side floor tunnel and front of the seat box with the 10mm closed cell foam. Have to work outside so am limited by weather on how much I can get done. Have pieced the tunnel since the panel sizes are small and inherently stiff due to their shape...

Whoops - always read before posting - should have made it clear - real load space has the 10mm foam on the floor with the 5mm ply on top.

The closed cell foam (10mm thick) is sound proof as well as thermal. I've used it before on another LR that already had LR original rubber mats in front (so they just fitted over the foam) and it works well. TBH was looking for something less expensive than the Exmoor trim - do a lot of Scout...

Hi. Just doing some much needed sound insulation in my ex-military 110 hard top with LT77 g'box. Fitted close cell foam to rear load space doing the front now. Looking for some carpet or mats to put over the top of foam. It is well used so I'm not looking to make it show room std nor to pay...

Just waiting delivery of new filler cap. Daren't let the paint work get stained - friendly landy garage mate painted it just before I bought it and he's -'reht chuffed with it'. Must admit it is a good job. As for wellies - farmers I know wear wellies so covered in mud and brown smelly sticky...

Cheers all. Apologies for late reply. Your help much appreciated. Rgds

Hi, recently had fuel leak/spill out through the filler cap. It happened after going up a narrow winding steep hill, doing about 15mph - daren't go any faster, blind bends and numpties on wrong side of white line. Had to do a sudden pull in to LHS because a concrete delivery lorry coming other...
