Hi all, I've posted before about my sluggish 110 before but I can't find my post now so will start afresh. When it's running right, it pulls hard and strong with no hesitation at all but when it's in slug mode, it drives like it's running on one cylinder! I have tried the following with...

Please PM me too, I'm starting to get a bit twitchy with all these thefts :eek:

Hope you get it sorted, as I'm having the same problem. It's 50/50 whether it starts running right or running like a dog on start up, the only difference is mine fires up immediately with no hassle at all...

Ok thanks. The plate is still in situ but it looks like the nut has come off it as the other 5 nuts are fine...

Great, thanks for the info' :)

Is the crossmember open at the back then? I was looking at removing the fuel tank but not sure if it would help or not...

None that I can find, was thinking of removing the ally strip just inside the back door but I'm not hopeful of finding anything underneath it to be honest...

Ah yes, 2005 Defender 110 Hard top...

I was swapping a wheel earlier today and wondered whether a linkage or something similar is missing. What do you reckon?

I'm not sure I like the white lettering on my new tyres, as I was called a Chav yesterday! Before & after photos below...

I like this phrase: "If it aint broke don't fix it" However, I tend to **** about with things that should be left well alone. I was painting the rear cross member and decided to drop the towbar assembly out of the way to make things easier but one of the captive nuts fell away inside the...

Ordered the right nuts for Defender alloys but they sent the wrong ones! The wheel studs are far too wide for the ones they sent...

That's the best 5 replies I've seen in a forum :D

5 shiny new wheels, check 5 chunky new tyres, check 5 locking wheel nuts, check 20 wheel nuts bought online and delivered today, check 1 trip to the local tyre depot fella, check "Sorry mate, these wheel nuts won't fit!" :confused:

Haha, sorry :D It was only £10

I like the exhaust idea, did you make that yourself or is it something off the shelf?

I ordered 5 Nexen Roadian MT tyres today, got them for £102 each with valves, balancing and fitting and including Vat. Not sure if they are any good or not but they were £45 cheaper than the BF Goodrich tyres I was looking at... ROADIAN MT

Fair play :D I ordered 20 (genuine?) off eBay for £50, which works out at £2.50 each so that will do nicely...

I nipped in to our local Land Rover dealership this morning for a price: x20 wheel nuts = £217.60 x5 locking nuts = £88.47 I thought they might be expensive but frigging hell!

Thanks for the photos, they look bloody good value too!
