Hi folks, I'm planning on rebuilding my 1989 110 hard top/van and considering rebuilding as a 130 DCPU or at the very least a 130 single cab. I am not buying a 130 chassis old or new as I need to keep the current vehicle chassis number for vintage reasons. I had intended just rebuilding as a...

Help please. My rear brakes are squealing quite loudly. They are drum brakes and no matter if I have the shoes tight or loose they squeal. I've chamfered the edges of the brake material, sanded the drum and shoes lightly and ensured the leading shoes to the front. They are on a year and have...

Hi folks, My speedo is currently out showing 70mph when actually traveling at 60mph on the GPS. Thats 17% over reading. Its been like this for a good while and I had simply marked the speedo with tipex on the speed limits. I had looked into this problem and thought I might have the wrong speedo...

First things first I am selling this item from Ireland I'm selling a aluminum fuel tank that i had hoped to use in my Defender but won't need now. The tank (from my best google search and this forum) is for a Range Rover Classic and Mk. 1 Discovery and was intended as a smaller petrol tank...

Hi folks firstly i have searched but not found much to help me. I've finally got my hands on a decent 200tdi out of a defender along with inter cooler, rad, hoses and air filter housing. I'm missing the down pipe for the 200tdi and the hoses for the oil cooler. Will the down pipe and oil cooler...

Does anybody recognize this fuel tank below? Someone local is selling it but dosen't have any info on it other than he says its from under the front wing so should fit either 90 or 110. I cant seem to see where it would fit on a defender? I won't be able to view it until the weekend and don't...

Hi folks, Picked up a 200tdi disco engine for decent money recently and i'm starting to gather the parts to complete the conversion. I didn't get the radiator or intercooler with it and I'm trying to figure out what to do. Should I just look for a discovery rad with inter cooler then get the...

In a mental snow storm this morning I had the wipers going flat out and all of a sudden they went all the way to the right further than normal and got stuck. I turned the wipers off immediately, then got out and had to move them back. Now the wipers will only move to the right and won't return...

Hi folks. Start my 2.5td up last night drove about 400 m then I could hear this awful rattling/whirling noise. I stopped and then realized that it was the starter running. I turned off the ignition and still it was turning over I had to disconnect the battery. Any idea's? Is it the solenoid or...

Hi folks Firstly I have done a search and can't seem to find an answer. :D I've been offered a pto winch off a series (not sure which series) According to the current owner he took it off his series due to the weight and had never used it or seen it working. From what he says its not hydraulic...

Hi found someone local selling sheets of 3mm steel chequer plating quite cheap and I will eventually need some to patch up my 110 and to protect the wing tops etc. Most chequer plating on offer for defenders seems to be aluminum. Will steel be better or no difference ? I know that steel will...

Currently have a 19j in my 89 110 and actually considering putting a 2.5n/a into it instead of the usual 200/300tdi/ isuzu or fourtrak conversions. It has 212k miles on it and although its seems to be going fine at the minute I'm afraid that it could give up the ghost and i want to have a...

Hi folks, My 110 has a hole in the bulkhead on either side from rust and I won't be changing the bulkhead but will use those weld in sections later, so what would be the best way to tidy it up and stop it from getting worse for the moment. Was thinking of some sort of rust killer paint and...

So I've been lurking on here and stalking Donedeal for quite a while now and I have finally got my first Defender. :biggrin1: The Honey Badger (as it will now be called) is a 1989 110 Van with the original 2.5TD engine and genuine lumps and bumps. The bulkhead is in great condition as is the...

Hi folks, I am looking at picking up an 1986 110 Landrover with the 2.5n/a engine. It is advertised as having an injector problem and when I spoke to the owner he said that he bought it with this problem and it would start and idle but wouldnt drive. He also said that he tried towing it and that...
