I was tempted to go have a trip there myself! He really has showcased the islands well - it looks beautiful. Yeah, I think he had the same Landy last time. It was his face that said it all when he broke down. He looked like he knew he'd done something wrong and then said, "I think it's a...

Anyone been watching his Hebridean venture? He's got a red crewcab 110 that promptly broke down on the first episode before it even got of the boat :D Then last week, his transmission blew up. Have a sneaking suspicion he was driving around with the diff lock on. Great advert for Landrover ;)

I'd be just a bit miffed that the rozzers came and took my car away. Surely they can only take it from you if they can prove it's not legally yours? If you have the bill of sale, it's yours innit? 9/10th of the law and all that.... Surely they can't waltz around the country swiping vehicles...

Check for heavy, lead sled?

WD40 And you get that sexy smell. mmmm

That's a bit harsh. Nice car.... do you have any problems sourcing parts? I'm in Mexico, and it's a bit of a pain in the ass.

Aha! Cheers. Yeah, the ear thing's ok, but as she gets hotter or you put her under load, she gets remarkably lumpy. Maybe the HT leads, maybe the coil, I've also had the Dizzy apart, so maybe the air gap. Need to get one constant going for now, so if I can start with the timing... Thanks for...

Says 6 in my book. Dwell Angle Light? What's one of them?

Hi I'm trying to get the engine timed and have the following marks on the crank: Before 1|2 | | | TDC | | | 1|2 After Where's 6 degrees on this? What are the | increments? :confused:

I have twin Kenlowes fitted to my 92 V8 110. They are fused by 2 seperate 30 amp fuses. Every so ofter, the fuses will melt and fail. Now I assume that the Kenlowes are on their way out and drawing too much current which in turn is melting the fuses. Am I right in thinking this? If...

Mexico Oct 09.

Maybe bearing.... Sounds like when my bearing went. Although the pulling was that great and wasn't to one ... although it was my rear bearing. The bearing was seizing against the outer race and the squealing was the race rotating inside the hub.

Cheers! Went and bought the parts and it was fitted today... we're now back on the road.

You are an honest-to-god hero! Thank you! That's for the 1992 110 yeah? VIN: JA

That's an option I may have to take up if they can't find the part here. There's a masssive Timken supplier here, it's just in their book they have Defender 110 1993-1997 Mine's a 1992 110 V8.

Cheers. That helps. :rolleyes:

Hi... I'm in a spot of bother. The rear hub bearing seems to have gone... started squeeking then crunching, now sounds like metal on metal... I've had the Landy up and rotated the wheel and it deffo sounds like it's buggered. Problem is, I'm half way through Mexico! I've managed to get the...

Hmmm.... doubt if they'll have them here... may have a look when we get to the next big town. The local mechanicos put some heavy duty rubber spacers in for now to stop the axle smacking the chasic every time I go over a speed bump. If you've ever been to Mexico you'll know they have a fair few...

I'm in the middle of Mexico at the min and have a sagging rear end :o We've got a bit of stuff in there... maybe 150kgs + 3 people.... it sits low when it's empty. I'm going to see if I can get stronger springs\shocks over here, but don't know owt about springs! Are springs springs? Do I need...

Sorted. Thanks for the link.
