hi folks i have just got new tyres and could do with advice '06 110 station wagon previously running boost alloys with general grabber 235/85/16 using 33f 49r on road and wear is ok and grippy enough on road, lower pressures for muddy fields i now have 265/75/16 cooper discoverer stt tyres...

many thanks for the response i'm glad it's not just me that is confused. i'm ok with the current pressures on road based on traction and ttyre wear. i do find the front wheels a bit hard when hitting significant speed bumps or pot holes at more than 15-20mph and i have felt the front...

I know this has been discused before but I remain confused! I have an 06 110 SW with boost alloys and general grabber 235/85/R16 tyres. Everything is standard . According to the owner manual the recommended tyre pressures refers to "freestyle choice " on the 110 SW. Isn't that the older...

the beauty of the LR bottle jacks is the curved saddle which fits the axles perfectly. most standard bottle jacks just have a button which would be hard to line up with an appropriate axle jacking point on a LR. Also make sure your jack goes up high enough to get the wheel off the ground to...

thanks one and all, i feel a bit less of a wuss now!!! i've got a huge trolley jack, a hydraulic bottle jack and the normal land rover pillar jack but i was interested to see what the hilift could do. i'd nearly always use the trolley jack at home but then i can't get the axle stands in...

very many thanks redhand, i followed your instructions and it worked fine. it lowered slowly as it should under load. however, i know i'm a novice but these jacks are seriously dangerous , i can imagine what would happen if you did let go of the handle underload, i presume it would smash...

i have just got a genuine hi lift jack, the "extreme" model, been practising before using it in anger. got a 110 , jacking with the proper adapter through rear cross member holes. going up is fine, handle in up position, change the catch to down position and pull handle down then back up...

many thanks ratty that explains why i couldn't find it! why no fuse? i'm no electrician but if lights and horn etc need a fuse why not a winch which has greater potential to be damaged/cause damage by overheating, short circuiting, etc. thanks mrdsgs

I have a main dealer fitted warn winch, about 3 years old. In my stupidity yesterday i managed to slice through most of the 5 core remote control cable when the winch cable rubbed across it. Anyway, my daft mistake, spliced cable together and all is working fine. However, i would have...

thanks guys my intention was to mount the lights on the front of a roof rack but the problem is the same as mounting them anywhere else. these lights do not have a bolt on the top/bottom or anything else to mount them. there is a plastic foot which is open at the top/bottom with a...

Here's a challenge for the experts. I recently received a brand new pair of lights for my 110. They are large driving lights with chrome surround and an integral black horizontal grill in front of the lense. The lights are designed to hang down from the underside of the padded A bar...

i got one of these off ebay but postage was a lot less than £20. they do the job perfectly and the saddle fits the axle well. most shop bottle jacks just have a round flat stud on the top which does not suit LR axles LAND ROVER JACK BRAND NEW (GENUINE) FITS MOST MODELS on eBay, also...

i usually jack my 110 up in the usual places just inside the wheels but with a big trolley jack this then prevents use of axle stands. is there any reason why i cannot jack up under the diff, both front and rear, obviously raising both front or rear wheels and then sliding in axle stands...

basic question folks. i am looking at getting some basic car ramps to enable me to get underneath my 110 more easily. all the ones i've seen at places like halfords and on-line seem similar and not really wide enough. the halfords ones clearly state 15 x 185 max tyre size. i have general...

you can make the removal tool with a couple of nuts and bolts and a bit of wood or metal but i bought one on ebay for about £10

thanks one and all, i am now relieved and reassured that that stamped swl on the shackle is the issue, rather than pin colour thanks mike

novice question i know, but what is the significance of blue, yellow or gren pin colour on bow shackles. I naively thought it was linked to the diameter of the pin or breaking strain but i have blue pins in different sizes and strengths of shackle. thanks in adance mrdsgs

thanks guys, the responses are very helpful and reassurring, the halfords ones i was looking at say 185mm max on them, my general grabbers are 235, hence the concern. has anyone evr seen wider ramps? thanks again mike

Can anyone recommend a good set of ramps wide enough and strong enough for a TD5 110 with General Grabbers or all terrain tyres, up to 265 or 285mm All the ones i've seen advertised don't seem wide enough Over to the experts! thanks in advance mrdsgs

that's most encouraging, very many thanks mrdsgs
