Thank you for the image. I hooked up a multimeter to it. The o/s is showing 10v, but the d/s shows 2v. I believe it's the red wire with orange stripe that the sidelights plug into, correct? The rear light seems to have no issues. Also, I checked that red/ orange wire and it doesn't seem to be...

The driver's front sidelight on my '88 110 started going out intermittently. To sort it out when that happened, I took off the lens, and tightened the grounding screw. Now, it won't come on at all. I changed the bulb and fuse, and checked the wiring. There seems to be no power going to the...

A bit too pricey for me to get a LHD Defender at US import age. They tend to run on average about £20,000, which for me is about $33,000. But, definitely thinking of just selling the Santana any ways, biting the bullet, and buying a RHD.

No, it's actually in very good shape. But, I'd like to eventually have the suspension lifted, which would need coil springs. Also, I'd like more options for the suspension in general. And, in the near future I'd like to put SVX wheels on it, which with SIII axles would mean I need to purchase...

So, working on my truck today with the intent of added the final touches on a 200tdi conversion, I came to realize something about the LR Santana 2500DL. It effing has a Series III chassis. Why would they put such an old chassis on it? Is there any particular benefit to keeping such dated axles...

Thanks for the response Mal. I'll give it a shot.

I've been searching around for the make of the wheels on this Penman, with no luck. Any have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Ahhh, thanks for the help. I'll give it another go today.

Swapped from 2.5na to a Disco 200TDi and we're having some issues with the flywheel housing studs. They all seem to line up just fine, but the engine nor transmission seem to be able to move together with enough thread on the studs to tighten things. We're thinking this could be a problem with...

Hello, Not sure if my truck fits here or in the 110 section. So, thought I'd try here first. I have a 1988 Santana 2500DL. I've been wanting to fit boost-style alloys to it, and it just so happens Craddocks has a deal going right now. Now, in order to use said alloys, will I need both...

Thanks again for advice, Storm! I'll give some calls today to local yards. If I do end up doing the gasket replacement, what do I need? Is it fairly straightforward? Other than turning the bolts that is. I understand they need to be done in increments.

It most certainly could have gone dry in the day I started to have issues. The overflow was full, but upon searching around the overflow hose had a nice sized hole in it. Replaced the hose, and cleaned out the overflow. But those issues certainly could have been the cause of the hgf. I was...

So, I just recently replaced the instrument surround, and the fuel gauge. I must have done something wrong as the temperature gauge no longer works and the fuel gauge still does not. Anyways, the same day the I did the job and the gauge stopped working, my truck started driving pretty rough...

Also, I know that KBX has something similar. But, I'm going for the exact Defender style on Land Rover's website. Which, I'm also unsure of how I'm going to do, but I'd rather order parts before they're unavailable. ;) Such as pictured here;

I'm looking to order the newer headlight pack (VPLDV0003) and moulding kit (LR008361) for my 88 110. Does anyone know if these would fit? Cheers
