Hi all - long time no post! ;-) I recently lent my 1992 Defender 110 200tdi to a 'friend' whilst his van was off the road - all been fine up till yesterday when it broke down on the way back from a long run down to Eastbourne. I've not seen the vehicle personally yet, and he isn't very...

Hi all I've been forced to put my Landy on the market - it's been a project for me for the last year and a bit - I've done loads to it and I was wondering what everyone here thinks it would be worth putting it up for. It's a 1992 Defender 200tdi with about 150k on the clock. Here's a list...

Hi all I'm in the process of overhauling the front axle (new swivel balls, bearings, seals, the lot) following one of the technical guides I found online. I had a question regarding the upper swivel pin pre-loading. I've tightened the bottom pin to the torque settings stated, and put a...

Hi all I have a fairly severe leak on my rear diff (110 Defender 200tdi) from the prop shaft end. I'm guessing there is an oil seal here, but anyone have any experience changing these? Can it be done from the prop end, or does it mean stripping down the diff itself? Also, can the main...

Hi all After my recent MoT failure on my 1992 110 200Tdi Defender I had to do some repairs. The MoT failures were just radial arm bushes and steering damper, which I've changed without any problems. However, I had MoT warnings about wheel bearings and I also have noticed some noise when...

Hi I know there are loads of existing threads on this, and I have been reading them but nothing really helped diagnose my problem. My brake pedal travels quite far (about 3/4 of the way to the floor) before any noticable braking occurs. But when you pump the pedal, the pressure comes back...

Hi all Just read Trewy's photo guide on changing the front shocks as my nearside one has been rattling like mad for a while, and just found out whilst having all my tyres changed that the front two shocks are mismatched anyway - one is an uprated spax type whilst the rattling one is the...

Hi I have two broken heat shields on my 200tdi Deepender 110... One around the turbo which is a fibreglass type, and another on the exhaust just after the drop from the engine, right underneath below the starter motor. The turbo shield has snapped off at the top fixing - any idea how...

Hi - I'll try and keep this as short as possible... WHen I bought my 110 Deepender, the fuel gauge only read down to half a tank, so I assumed the sender was knackered. Went to Bearmachs and they gave me one that was completely different than what was already in there - I had a zinc'd metal...

Hi all - I urgently need a replacement RH drivers door for my 110 landy - the existing one had taken a bash before I bought it and the door has split just below the window line - as a result the top of the door bounces on the seals and lets water in badly. Does anyone know of somewhere I can...

Hi all I've just finished spraying my 110 Defender Matt Black with cans (yeah, I know now don't I!!). It looks mainly great, except for slight blotching on the larger panels due to the use of cans, but I'm not worried about that. What I am worried about is the durability of the paint - it...

Ok, I've ask this before I know but I'm not getting anywhere with my investigations... At low speeds (up to 35mph) no noise at all. At faster speeds (35/40mph+) no noise on acceleration, no noise on braking, but when you coast with the throttle slightly depressed to maintain speed you have...

Hi I've just picked up a 1992 Defender 110 2.5 200TDi - it's tatty and mileage a bit high but then I only paid £2000 for it so I wasn't expecting perfection. During the test drive it was all fine, but driving home (about 70 miles on a lot of Motorway) I found a noise at higher speeds...
