Sounds like the windings breaking down under load, hence why it worked perfectly on the bench

Well as I make my first journey in the land rover down to bordon on Wednesday, I had a look over the land rover and found a fan belt with no teeth! Amazingly the ignition light has been on and has been charging fine! I also planned to find out why my wiper blades didn't park, I had to hold...

I will do but I travel home at the weekends, will be keeping an eye out though!

Most byways well marked with signposts on the ground, if there is an area that is in danger of anything explosive, will be well patrolled and marked.

Hi I am being posted to bordon next week, are you guys still going to be doing after work greenlaning? If so if love to come! I've got a defender 110 sw on xzl's. I also have quite a lot of off roading experience through the army Adam

Now delayed due to me picking up the stomach bug that has worked its way through the kids! I would like to try and organise maybe a Saturday morning green laning trip, my wife works on Saturday nights, if anyone is interested?

I am taking advantage of my eldest being off school tomorrow and me having a bit of leave before posting to get my defender out on a few Greenlanes. Was wondering if anyone was free and interested in joining me? I am based in Warminster and have an up to date military map of the plain. Adam

I managed to find a 200tdi defender 110 station wagon on a galvanised chassis for £1200, needed a fair bit of work but it is now mot'd and on the road as a running repair for less than £2000

I know deep down it would be a bad idea but I keep telling myself about the amount of work I put into it, and that I pretty much know all of the problems that are going to show themselves in the next few years, it will need a chassis and the bulkhead will need some work soon, it would be an...

A friend of mine was searching eBay the other day when he alerted me to my old land rover series 3 for sale Item number 181245721626 It's amazing how much I miss it, even though the defender I have now is so much better suited to my needs, I would buy him back in an instant! Adam

I have a brand new, never fitted drivers side seat base/runners etc you can have, Will swap for anything useful for my 110 sw particularly interior and dash bits! Also have a second, used drivers seat complete with runners if you can make them work on passenger side? I am in Warminster...

The way I have wired them up in the past is Battery--fuse--switch--positive side of beacon--negative side of beacon--any handy metal bit of land rover Hope that makes sense and helps

Certainly be a bit quieter!

I don't use any military parts on my rover, not worth the hassle to save a couple of quid,my wolf wheels were bought off a friend who bought a 90 unseen from withams and found a spare set of wheels in the back! Plus as I work in a tank workshop not very much would fit anyway! Might be fun to...

I'm in warminster in Wiltshire Well it went for its mot this morning and failed on a few points, mainly the handbrake lever coming too far back and lacking performance but also for the the fog light, tester couldn't find switch, and no seatbelt sockets in back, again becaus he couldn't find...

Damn stupid land rovers why do we even bother! Mot is booked for tomorrow morning so I arranged to drop it over tonight as I am working tomorrow, so I went to take it over there, first thing is after a couple of open and closes drivers door won't open, have a look and the bar to the door...

Managed to spend another full day on the land rover on Monday and it is now outside my house for the first time since I bought it! The mot is booked for Monday and 99% of jobs are now complete! I decided to have a look at the glow plugs first and discovered that the wires had been hacked off...

Brilliant thanks very much, my land rover is in my workshop which is just over a mile and a very unhelpful gate guard away!

I was wondering if anyone is close to a 300tdi turbo and could measure the turbo inlet for me so I can order some flexi pipe to make up an air intake! It's the one that takes air from the air filter into the turbo Many thanks Adam

A quick update as I spent a couple of hours on the Land Rover yesterday but phone was dead so no pictures. Went to repack the other rear hub but one of the caliper bolts was so tight nothing I did would loosen it! I even managed to bend a bend a spanner trying to get a bit of extra leverage...
