Never had a Landy with "good" wipers. All have been sloppy, wipe what ever area is good for them on the day, and never strong enough to push snow away so the area wiped gets smaller and smaller on snowy days. But it does sound like you also have a dodgy park switch. Check for wear throughout...

So the fronts are fully interchangeable, excellent, and the disco has the same ratio diff?

Want to upgrade the non vented disks / rear drums on my 1991 200tdi 90 to something a little better. My previous TD5 110 had amazing brakes, so am looking for similar. What options are there that dont cost the earth? Disco axles seem to be available at sensible money, are they a direct fit, and...

Interesting option, will look into it but it may be a bit costly for me. Deffo worth considering if my flywheel is shot

Thanks Guys The only annoying bit is mine is an aircon model, so will end up paying for a recharge :(

Ok, my clutch is just about to expire, its started slipping when Mr Turbo gets in the zone. Its a 1999 110 TD5 with 119000, miles on the clock. Questions:- Valeo or Britpart? Is the dual mass flywheel likely to be ok? Replace fork? Engine out or gearbox out? its being done on my driveway. Any...

Pleasant surprise, with 118k on the clock, the engine was so clean inside, and the honing marks still on the bores. Head was flat so didn't need skimming. All back together now, fingers crossed my problems don't come back :)

Nice one guys, thanks. Traditional tightening pattern then, just wanted to be sure. Lets see what surprises await me when it comes apart this weekend. Yep, using genuine parts only and a propper angle gauge.

About to do my head gasket, but need to know 2 things please:- A) what size torx socket do I need for the head bolts B) what is the correct tightening order for the head bolts, I cant seem to find that bit in the LR manual. Thanks in advance :)

Thanks Guys All I wanted to do was try to reduce the roll a little and sharpen up the steering, but you guys recon stick to rubber, Any other thoughts?

Need to re bush my 2000 TD5 110CSW, which are the best bushes to go for. Have seen different makes at different prices. Also, any special tools needed, am I going to find problems along the way? Landy is mainly for road use, well loaded down regularly, which type of bush would you recomend

Ok, going to wire up a pair of 100w spots tomorrow, will use a 40 amp relay and main beam supply to switch. My question is, where is the best place to pick up the main positive feed from. I could go direct to the battery but would prefer to use a different point if Land Rover have been good...

Hi peeps My TD5 110 holds back, misses when accelerating hard, you would never know the problem was there with usual gentle driving, but hit a big hill, or overtake and its there. Doesnt feel like a fuel starvation issue as the engine continues on ok and revs still rise. Had a recent new...

Best I have seen out of my 110 TD5 is 30 mpg, that was on a run, taking it easy, but well loaded with kit and people, but it did include running around the welsh mountains a bit so I was well chuffed. Just fitting a 1.2:1 transfer box, then off to Wales again this weekend. Will see if it gets...

Errr, yes please, and thanks :-)
