Posting on behalf of my dad, he's looking at getting a Freelander but is unsure whether to go for an auto or manual. It'll be the TD4, aside from the auto being slightly heavier on fuel what are the advantages/disadvantages of both?

My Landy has been many colours in it's life mostly due to the army changing it's colour scheme every now and then and being hand painted since. I can't afford to get the body bead blasted so was wondering what's the best way to remove as much of the old paint as I can to give me a good base to...

Toying with the idea of selling my tilt as I've just bought a truck cab back for my 90. There's been a spate of vandalism on cars recently and as all the little scrotes seem to carry knives these day the 90 will make an ideal target for them. So what would you expect to pay for a full tilt for...

My 90 will soon be ready for painting and my co owner wants it to be done in desert colours. I'm fine with this, it is an ex military radio vehicle after all, I just wanted to get an idea of what it will look like. See plenty with the green and black but very rare to see a desert coloured one...

I had a pair of Corbeau Forza Sports in my MK1 Golf and found them very comfortable while holding you firmly in place, I was hoping to put a pair in my 90 but I'm not sure how to go about fitting them, I ordered a pair of subframes for the Golf but they don't do any for the Landy. Anyone got...

I'm currently breaking a 110, it's a truck/van bodied one? Looks a bit like this! What I want to know is would there be a market for the hard top/track back bit whatever it's know as i.e. someone wanting to convert their soft top or something? I don't want to mess about taking it off if no...

Just to get one wing loose on my 110! and it's still held in place by one bolt at the bottom that is so rusted I'm going to have to grind it off. I've got 3 more off these to do then the job of refitting 2 of them. I was all happy too, I did the bonnets first and it was a breeze to swap them...

I need to buy a trolley jack, it needs to be able to lift a 110. Am I safer going for a 3 tonne one? Anyone know any good places to buy, prices seem to vary quite a lot?

Is there a guide anywhere? I want to swap them over in as short a time a possible.

Or should I just weight it in with the rest of the 110 when it's been robbed of bits?

I bought a 110 last week, well I bought a gearbox and the rest came with it! It's a 3 door, umm, solid back? Sorry I don't know the correct name. I'm swapping the wings onto mine as they are better. The bonnet is nearly new, I'm told it's bulkhead is very good (dunno why that's important) it has...

I found a gearbox for my Defender and it's come with a surprisingly tidy 110 attached! I was wondering what the differences are between the two types of dash and whether I can swap them. I know mine has the large central switch for convoy lights etc but are there any other differences?

Had an email from the garage doing the conversion today, I'm not clear what they need as I'm not up on my Land Rover stuff, I thought the Discovery gearbox would be ok? Help please! "tried to get a bit of work done on the defender today, thought i might get the gearbox sorted and mated to...

I'm after an idea of how long it will take to paint my 90 inside and out. I put the MOD bit in the title as I know they get colour changes fairly frequently in service so people might have experience. This is her now: MR2008.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Sorry, whenever...

Can anyone tell me any places I can do this? New to the Land Rover scene but keen to get off road.

Don't be scared, she's not pretty at the moment but she will be! MR2007.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting MR2008.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting MR2009.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting MR2010.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image...

Just wondering, will it be possible to make the power steering system from the donor Disco 200 TDi fit my 90?

Sadly this one's not for keeping. Picked up a Discovery 200TDi last week for £400, 12 months MOT, loads of tax and best of all only 80k on a recon engine. It's already at the garage where my 90 is waiting to have the engine and box transplanted so my 90 will live again!

Can be seen in this thread, offroaders rantpage and landrover site they were bought to go on the 3.5 V8 in the pictures, my mate who I bought the car off can't remember what make they are but he's pretty sure they are Zeniths. They have not been used as the engine hasn't run since it's...

The reason I ask is I had one on a previous fuel injected car and it lunched the engine. What I was told by various LPG fitters was that higher mileage engines couldn't take the extra heat generated by the LPG systems. I understand the LPG systems for engines like mine 3.5 V8 on twin carbs are...
