It is not an 89 truck. Many features mark it as noted above as a 300tdi. If Vin and V5 say so very likely it's a ringer.

Welcome :) Don’t take a sellers word there is no “serious” rust. Don’t be taken in cos it looks “pretty “ on top. As above mentioned numbers need to match car and V5, not just the plate but the stamped chassis number, And taking somebody who...

I reckon it's a 300tdi We shall see if the chassis number exists with no welding in that area. Maybe the OP can provide a photo of the chassis number stamped on the chassis.

Thats either had a lot of work done to it or there’s a lot of 300tdi parts on it. Check vin & number on chassis

I went for a satin finish. Quite chuffed with it. I’ll refit the black checker plate I had and I think it will look ok.

I think it looks quite nice. I think I'd prefer it if mine was that colour rather than your typical army/nato green. Speaking of mine... day 3 of doing things, I dug into the misfire, played about with things, got it running better... nearly...

Thoughts on my colour choice ???

It looks nice in the picture. However, look beyond the paintwork, alloys and steps. Make sure it’s not just tarted up. The engine is not original. It’s most likely from a disco 1. What does the seller consider a nasty repair? If the chassis and...

Painting the 90 over the last couple of days. It’s going from white to a kind of olive green. I’ve got the roof, rear roof side panels and doors off and painting them all while they are off, but the bodywork was so hot yesterday I’ve ended up...

And the answer is...simple. At the foremost inlet port there is a small circular peg: Push the piston in a little to take the spring pressure off it and remove it. Relax the pressure on the piston and it pops out: And its now apart...

Hi and welcome! Lots of help and advice here. Any pics of the landies???

The PAS tank and pipes were removed today. The return line was in two peices, with jubilee clips either side of the join. This is what I found when I pulled em apart: A male-male union of as yet unmeasured size but likely 3/8 BSP. Might come in...

I think std series exhaust might be to small a diameter? Nice pipe, but 234 quid kin hell! I made my own. I had to go up because of pto shaft, early diesel also took their exhaust out the nearside inner wing.

At it again for a second day in a row... finishing off the wheel bearing, which was easier said than done, having made a bit of a mistake yesterday! I got there in the end though, swivel housing refilled and went out for a drive. Still got a...

A while back I posted a question about what 2-pack body adhesives folks were using. Someone suggested Optima from Ebay so I sourced one. Yesterday I broke the seal and started bonding in various patches and repair strips. Its quite a thick...

Busy few days, finished off fitting the galv capping on the tub, re aligned the tub to chassis and bolted down, fitted the heater fan box, fitted a one piece BRT motorsport braided clutch pipe, painted the vent flap fly screens black and re...

So today since I was off work I thought I'd make the very sensible decision and do some work on the 110... got a gas strut fitted on the rear door, refitted the chequer plate panel on the door and put one of those folding table things on it...

Hi and welcome! Lots of good help and advice on here. There’s good write up in the members projects section of a disco 2 V8 project too which might give you some inspiration.

Bloody things ... My 1994 has the long thin ones, you need to pull them away from the wing and then twist the bulb and holder out... The orginal ones were stuck on with double sided tape. Not right IMO. So after a friend of a friend pulled one of...

Well maybe you're right, then. I should forget about a respray and just get it jet-washed, T-cut and waxed for 500 quid or whatever they charge these days. The interior is actually quite good, just rather grubby but that too would certainly clean up.

It’ll clean up nicely. This was in the same state prior to a cut and polish.

I had almost this exact same issue not so long ago, exacerbated when towing. I replaced my drop arm ball joint, which impoved it, but was still getting a strange feeling through the steering going into corners hard or towing, I checked...

Buy new Lemforder and replace the crap ones.

Gywn lewis do new covers. Much higher quality

Very specific!

Hi and welcome! Much safer than a motorbike for a mid-life crisis!

Hi everyone, just got my 1st (and likely last lol) 110 ht defender and joined here to pick brains as i already need help but will leave that for the proper page. Yes, 1st defender in my late 50's..gotta start sometime :) Pic of my 110, ex uk...

You’ve built a monster truck! That’s what my lad said when he stuck his head into the garage, and to be honest he isn’t far wrong. Tyres fitted to the new rims, rear extended arches fitted, new power steering pipes in, fuel pipes fitted to the...

A galvanised chassis and originality will make this desirable. £8k sounds achievable. A new set of galvanised body cappings and a polish up of the bodywork would work wonders.

I would agree with the 8k maybe a bit more depending on condition of other things. Although I am not looking for a V8 so these prices will be lower I paid £2250 18months ago for an ‘89 110 station wagon with no v5 (exported but never left) and...
