Ok people, I've found a new intermittent leak from behind the dash in the 110 that I'm reasonably sure is responsible for the rotten floor on the passengers side. It's not coming from the screen hinge bolts but working it's way in from behind the dash somewhere - I'm guessing it's screen /...

Looking for the plastic trim that goes either side of the safari door in a 110 (and presumably 90) station wagon - the bits that go round the little quarterlight windows, NOT the big opening / side windows. Has anybody got any kicking around in the shed they don't want? Happy to pay and arrange...

Not as creative as the other suggestions but easier in a hurry - Exmoor do ready-fit kits for the Station Wagons in 2 levels of trim. I've got the standard black set in mine (came with them) and I'm very happy with them...

So the good news is that, 4 months after she was stolen, the Police have found and returned my military 110 and amazingly she's still basically in one piece albeit on false plates and looking like she's been parked in a swamp. Obviously the ignition barrel / switch is long gone (my packet of...

Think I'll come back to the TD5 option as plan B - I'm going to have a go at the Spyda kit and see if it really is just a couple of blobs of solder or if I set fire to the fuel gauge in the process. I'll report back here once I'm done...

I like the look of the TD5 solution but a quick look round suggests the bits hold their price well! Not sure I can run to that just yet but I found this instead https://www.spiyda.com/magento/index.php/miniature-low-fuel-warning-light-module.html# It says it's for resistive senders, would that...

Aye gse1986, I will when I get back from the weekend away but it's definitely not there, I miss the familiar orange glow that I'm used to in the V8! Not uncommon in 300TDIs I don't think, looking round the forum it seems I'm not alone - although why they didn't bother fitting one is beyond me...

I don't even have a light... Gauge is ok but there isn't even an unused warning light! Even my 89 V8 had one - although it was always on...

So the most modern Landy I've ever had (1997 300TDI) is also the first to have no fuel warning light. Personally I can read the gauge but my other half assumed it has fuel until the light comes on... I once fitted an aftermarket warning kit to an old Jag that just triggered a light from the...

Finally! Combination of a bare wire on the light feed and a mess of PO wiring off the back of the ignition. Ran a new feed to the ignition and took the 15A fuse off the starter signal and it's all good. Thanks for your help Kwakerman, couldn't have done it without your help!

It didn't come with the seats and I don't want them anyway! For a start the missus can't drive it if it has more than 8 seats, but I need the space in the back as a load carrier. I kept the last one for 17 years and I'd still have it if it hadn't been nicked so I'm not looking for resell value!

* 'as I don't have enough hands'! Phone fun.

PS Earths all seem to be ok as far as I can tell Flat, although I've struggled to test what happens when I turn the key sometimes as I Leo t have enough hands!

Thanks Kwakerman. Er, what does it look like? I was hoping to become a bit more familiar with dirty diesels before having to fix stuff, I still don't know where the coil and distributor have gone...

Fuse only pops in the 'start' position - and the lights were fine until the Green Flag bloke had a poke aroundand got sparks out of it... I'm hoping that problem is the light switch as it seems odd that all side and headlight functions have disappeared from the switch in one go! What's down...

Thanks Kwakerman, will PM shortly - and you might be onto something Flat... I had a good rummage last night and have narrowed down the problem if not the solution. There is a wire that runs directly from battery to the ignition switch via a 15A fuse (rather inconveniently located behind the...

Thanks Kwakerman - they all look ok but it must be worth getting a multimeter onto the input pin if I can work out which it is. Is absence of a spider enough to rule out the associated immobiliser relays do you think? Would they have to be completely bypassed if the control unit was removed?

So I've had the 300TDi 110 for about a week now, and aside from a few minor issues (still can't get the window up, still not sure what;s hiding under the amateur waxoyl, still a little nervous about the bodged bulkhead repair) it's started instantly every time and has good road manners. Until...

Really, those black tubular bits? Cheers chaps, I just thought they were the things the seats sat on, I'll get those out and onto fleabay! Thanks! Just spent the last hour taking the door apart to get the window back up... Already missing sliding windows!

Afternoon all. I've just picked up my brand-new, 18 year old, 300 Tdi 110SW to replace my stolen ex-mod 110V8. It's quite different to what I'm used to - it even has carpet. Feels all wrong. Anyway, I'm looking forward to finding all the things that don't work (courtesy lights! It has...
