Got an original V8 (now on lpg) in my 110. Can't fault it. That sound and the grunt .... !

Yep - the lot. It's all one piece & non-serviceable except for the lock barrel. Try Rimmers, Craddocks or Paddocks. Bolt on, bolt off job.

I think you may have mega probs if you can't get the key in ! May have to replace the whole lock :eek:

I got a new lock barrel from Rimmers - seems OK. I've only replaced my rear door lock barrel (anyway all my other ones - on an '83 110 SW - will be different from yours). It was dead easy - exactly as described in the Haynes Manual. Remove the lock assembly from the door (4 screws/bolts...

Had a look at an LPG converted 110 V8 CSW that they had last year. Friendly enough, but they wanted seriously silly money for it & wouldn't bargain - so I walked away.

Already done.

Problem solved. If you look here Lucas - TVS - Products - 12V Alternator you can see that it is the optional terminal for a warning light. As my warning light works perfectly well using the thin wire in the 3-wire multi-connection block, I have disconnected the 'mystery' wire - with no ill...

I'm trying to identify a rogue wire connected to the back of the alternator fitted to my '83 110 V8 - see picture below. The alternator is a Lucas A115-45 (LR Part No: PRC2677) with following numbers on it: 24028D A115-45 178312V1. It is, I think, original - but has been reconditioned at...

Had my '83 110 V8 converted for 5 months now & generally very pleased with it. Insurance was no problem so long as you sent them a compliance cert from LPGA installer. Sailed through the MOT (emissions done on gas only). Doesn't like starting on gas when very cold (lot of backfires) so I...

Problem identified (but not yet solved - waiting for parts); blocked fuel tap on the petrol solenoid of the LPG system.

Thanks all - good advice. Timing should be OK - had a 6,000 mile service & MOT 2 weeks ago. I run on petrol at least once a week to try to avert some of the problems with prolonged dry running that Charles mentioned. Looks like the floats & needle valves need checking. Ho hum -...

Having a seriously weird fuel (?) problem on my '83 110 V8. She starts & runs fine on LPG, but - when started on petrol started with difficulty, ran roughly for about 30 seconds then cut out - repeatedly. Pumping the accelerator prolonged this to about 45 seconds. That was yesterday - today she...

If you've replaced the blown overdrive - don't suppose you would want to get rid of the linkage ? I've been after one for ages ?

Anybody know where I could get hold of the correct Landrover overdrive linkage to allow me to fit my Fairey Overdrive to my '83 110 V8 ? I've got a Range Rover linkage with the unit, but they are very different. The bit I'm after is the cranked actuating arm, with pivot, pivot bolt & pivot block...

Hi, New to this forum (but not others). Currently driving an 83 110 V8, but have driven all sort of Landrovers at work (serving soldier since 1979).
