Hi All - I have a Def 110 curently fitted with a beautiful Isuzu 2.8 TD, fitted with the original LR V8 Rad and an Allisport intercooler + a LT85 & LT230 Disco Boxes. It does approx 125 KMH max - I am thinking of replacing the engine with a TDV6 - readinga round I hear that is becoming something...

To whoever mey be interested, this is to confirm that I was able to fit (my specialist) a massive Allisport intercooler to my 1987 Defender 110 fitted with an Isuzu 2.8. And what a difference this makes to performance! The work has been done in italy by a friend who prepares GT track BMWs for...

I already have an Isuzu 2.8TD heavy duty (cam gear instead of belt drive) - but I suspect it is on its last legs, of course it may be all 100% ok if gasket etc can be redone, but i have started putting together the intellingence required to plan another transplant - I am after a heavy duty...

I have been looking at a number of options - has any of you coe across the GM Chevy 6.5 Diesel big engine (same as Hummer1)?

Hi All - As I am running my Def 110 on motorways a lot I had replaced my LT230 standard transfer box with a Disco 1.1:222, which helped a lot in noise / speed / economy. I am now planning to add a GKN overdrive. I understand that the GKN unit is a straight fit for a Defender LT230 box with 26...

Yes - I think a) the pics show both items front / back. the first is therefore the engine undertray (thanks all for quick input), the 2nd item I suspect will be the undertray that fits under the gear / Transfer box.

Dear all - I am using my Def 110 a lot on motorways. I have seen on ebay a set of 2 items that is being described as a gearbox soundproofing panel, but in fact I think it is an engine undertray, which also acts as soundproofing barrier. I have attached the pics - could you tell me if any of...

Hi Folks - I am looking for a local specialist that would be able to do a top bulkhead panel replacement. This involves taking front end off, cutting bulkhead top away, align new panel, weld new panel, reassembling front end. I can't find anyone that may be able - or willing - to do this. Can...

Ha ha - thanks for trusting my DIY capabilities - I think on that one I'll require some more professional support! ;)

Yes - about 45 mins ago - For the first time o eBay I took a bot of a risk but in fairness that was installed on a very similar engine bay to mine, so hoefully either my local Specialist in surrey will be able to do it (he's absolutely great) or possibly Allisport even!

Dear All - I am planning to fit an Allisport Intercooler that I bought 2nd hand on eBay from a chap that had it installed on his 110 2.5TD, fitted in front of the Rad - the unit is in very good condition and was sold as the vehicle was dismantled I am planning to do the same (fitting the...

Hi all just a further question re.tyres. My def 110 is now currently fitted with 4 x BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO LT265/75 R16 120 / 116S on Steel Wheels. Do you think I can replace my BFs with the standard Land Rover issued General Grabber 235/86R16 and keep the same wheels or will I need...

Hi Dimitri - very good question as I want to do the same - I think there wa a series of articles on LRM or LR international, but the vehicle was built from the ground up using a tubular chassis and - yes the angle grinder was also used a lot to modify the bulkhead to allow the gear / tranfer box...

Good afternoon all - Would anyone know how difficult if possible at all would be to transplant a TDV6 engine into an old Def 110 fitted with a heavy duty LT85? I have read a feature on a magazine, but unsure as to which specialist would be able to do this Thanks for any information GG

HI All - do you know what type of clutch replacement goes into a Defender / Isuzu 2.8 conversion (LT85 gearbox) and who can do this? Is that a Landie CLutch? Is that an Isuzu clutch? Is that bits from both? Any help would be very welcome! Thanks G
