Pedal pumping? You should never ever pump the pedal to start a 300tdi up..... I just turn the key and depending on the weather and if the glow plugs are needed fire her up. extra fuel for cold starting is automatically supplied by the injector pump. You will always get a puff of black smoke...

I have a top of the range VW a real stunner and yet my 110 gets all the admiring glances. Its an ICON .... how much is a 1997 Icon? Around 3k more than a Disco. Uncomfortable, noisey, crap mpg....but hey :)

I can only show how mine fitted...at the front of the chassis legs. As mentioned, take the lashing eyes off and bolt the guard on? Couple of bolts at the back of course

That sounds like a poss solution :)... looking through Haynes now to see if pedal switch in the cab or the engine bay!... I kid you not :). The switch for the reversing lamp... thinking back I had a similar problem with my last 90... I still have the switch so it may come in handy. Will try...

I wasn't even going to try but my Auto Electrician is away.... had a search but nothing specific on this fault. The 110 passed its MOT a few weeks ago... I had a minor issue with the reversing light that wasn't working, then it decided it would work so left it well alone. Last week I noticed...

Trying to fit the new one and getting your nuts tight is far from easy if you have fingers like a fistful of dicks :) While you have it off, take of the reflector and indicator off and give the paint a little T cut or clean... makes a nice job but one you start.......next thing you will be...

Me thinks 110woman may want matching curtains.... you could emulsion it for a day then rinse it off :)

Pictures would be a great help....if you compare the doors on the vehicle with the replacements wont you see a difference? No part numbers on doors.

My alloys are held on by studs...... my old 90 had steels and they had nuts Thats all I know other than I am quite sure you dont try and put alloys on with wheel nuts. I read that on here... so it must be true :)

BT Grey...... no fooking option but I would like it smartening up. I like it it stands out from the crowd

Not found it yet?...

How would anyone know you had broken down?

The parts are in a sticky at the top... you will find it under body and chasis at the very bottom

My ex missus....... 14081952 to old cow :)

:welcome2: You can spend a small fortune trying to increase speed but the bottom line is torque and getting to know how to get the best out of what you have. Save your money for now and concentrate on the basic stuff,,,,,you may get 5 or 10 mph for £1000. First thing I would do is change your...

I would get a 3 year old Citroen Diesel van that will do 50+mpg and flog the Defender thats 5k off your fuel bill. Guessing you cant do that?

Green Flag is cheaper?

Are you sure its a 110 you really want? Maybe a Discovery would be better suited for families? They are also about 40% cheaper than a 110. Look for a 1994 to 1998 300tdi, 110 or Disco...they will be in your budget. Drive both before you choose and load em up with the kids and the missus.

Try rust killer first.... tart up and paint. If in danger of catastophic failure you can repair..... 015 door repair section Ebay turns up the odd reasonable doors.... most will be worse than what you have :)

One of these?...... if I remember correctly one long and tight bolt to ease out on the drivers side at the back... the rest is straight forward
