Hi. I’m trying to identify the wires that go to the reverse light in my 1993 110. Is it the black wire(s) going through the hole I’ve arrowed in this picture please? (I’m assuming there’s a standard hole for it to go through but if not I would be glad to know! I’m trying to find the right wire...

Hi. I’ve just bought one of the Optimill reversing cameras with a clip-on rear view mirror monitor. Fitting the camera should be pretty easy but I’m not sure about powering the monitor. Any advice about the easiest route to get from the mirror location to a switched live? Ideally I’d rather not...

Hi, everyone. As far as I can tell a previous owner of our 110 (1986) was an avid collector of short lengths of wire in random colours, mostly red. They also had a large supply of fuses, connection blocks and insulation tape. At some point they decided to remove all the original wiring from the...

My 110 came with a sporty Momo steering wheel. I know most people do this the other way around but I want to replace it with an original Land Rover steering wheel. The centre part of the Momo wheel is completely solidly wedged on the splines. There’s no movement. I bought a small two-arm puller...

Hi, everyone. My 1986 110 (200TDi) has failed its MoT due to “emissions unable to be completed (excessive smoke)”. The garage that did the test said it could be anything from a diesel injector to a turbo problem to needing a new engine. They think it’s diesel smoke rather than oil. They’ve...

My 1986 110 has lots of noises but there is a new one that sounds worrying. I’d call it knocking but some people might say clonking. I’m pretty sure it’s NOT the engine. I can’t figure out where it’s coming from but it’s linked to road speed not engine speed. At 30mph with the clutch in, it’s...

Hi. My rear/end door doesn't lock. It latches OK but the little sliding 'snib' thing that should stop the handle moving doesn't do its job. If you apply enough force to the handle then you can still open it even when it's supposed to be locked. This is on a 1986 110. I ordered what I thought...

Checking the oil on my 110 (1986) today, I noticed that the dipstick outer tube is moving up and down when I pull/push the dipstick. I don’t think it’s supposed to do that! There’s shiny metal visible on the outside where it used to be inside the engine. Now I don’t know whether the oil level...

Hello. Why am I here? When I got home from work the other day my son said "we should buy a Land Rover". I'm not entirely sure why I agreed with him, but it seemed like a good idea, and we now have a 1986 110 CSW on the drive. It's happened rather more quickly than I expected but based on my...

Hi, everyone. This is my first post as the new owner of a 110 CSW. I realised after getting home last night that there's no way to lock the rear side doors. The button (or whatever you call the thing you push/pull to engage the lock) is missing. The box of bits that came with the car apparently...
