8 standard wheels with inflated tyres. Tyres probably more suited to off road. Take all 8 for free. South Lincs. Gone now…….

I have a new LR seal here if you are interested. Bought in error.

I heard that the military reduced the duty on all of their LRs fitted with aftermarket swivels.

Thx for the reply and offer. I have access to an anti roll bar locally.

I finally managed to sort this…..I had used Britpart shoes. Now fitted OEM quality. The pedal is now at the top and no longer spongy.

Would there be any noticeable benefit in fitting a rear axle roll bar to a 110 commercial van. The brackets are on the chassis and axle. I assume that only 5 door station wagons were fitted with one as standard.

Thx, now edited. So how is the master cylinder pushrod adjustable? When I started this I was told that the 19j had really bad press. My engine had a bent conrod and cracks all over the combustion chambers. Some or all of this may be due to the engine racing away due to a split boost diaphragm...

I have just about finished the rebuild on my 110 TD. New chassis, brakes, engine rebuild, new body panels…etc,etc,etc. The project grew like Topsy, the usual excuse was….well I’ve got this far so I might as well!!!! The only issue I have is that the brake pedal is a bit long…..not overly so, but...

I heard that there is a team that communicates via mobile phones. One stays near your vehicle. Another follows you about, to alert if the owner returns. The one near the vehicle then guides the breakdown truck in to the correct location. Vehicle gone…. The motto here is……if you keep seeing a...

I have fitted new Road springs to my 1989 110 commercial. The drivers side is 35mm higher than the passenger side. I know that the springs are different and that the drivers side is supposed to be higher, but is 35mm excessive? When I sit in it the suspension drops by around 15mm. Perhaps the...

Sorted now.....after a bit of jiggling. I had to slot the bonnet hinge hole to get the bonnet further back towards the bulkhead by around 4mm. Interestingly the bonnet is not fitted on the centerline of the vehicle due to the hinge bracket offset on the bulkhead. I will measure other Land...

I am trying to fit the bonnet on my 1989 110. The hooks that the hinges fit into are not evenly disposed around the center line of the vehicle. The bulkhead is original and as the hooks are welded to it, they could not have moved. The offset is around 8mm towards the nearside. I wonder if...

4 x 90 wheels and tyres.....tyres got good tread but some age cracking. Hold air. 4 x 110 wheels and tyres...tyres shot but hold air. Free free free but you have to take all eight.

Used to soak the copper/asbestos ones in hot water for an hour....it made the asbestos swell. Never had one fail.

Wanted. What ever it is to mount a spare wheel on a Defender bonnet.
