    Carb V8 hesitant, holding back, cutting out, difficult to start but then runs

    This should be simple for the gurus here. I am wondering if its simply fuel filter, pump or is it HT electrics / distributor cap. Driving along today it hesitated on acceleration, but after changing to a lower gear at high revs it pulls ok: The idle sounds a bit off, sometimes stopping...

    Thermostat change to fix running cool

    Hopefully this is just a funny story I can tell people in the future. I recently got my Defender 110 back on the road, and noticed the temp gauge sits stable about a third of the way, and the heater blows warmish but not enough on these cold mornings. So I changed the thermostat this morning...

    Safari Snorkel 200TDI - return to standard

    I have the above on my 110 CSW I really don't think it looks right on the old girl so I would like to return to standard intake. I do not wade in deep water, and let's face it, the 110 is not the best off road tool. It looks like the base of the snorkel fits over and replaces the regular...

    200 tdi defender runs cool

    Just got my 1992 110 County back on the road, just as the cold weather hits. The temp gauge doesn't go above about a ¼ and the heater is much less warm than my V8 110 heater. I have read that the 200TDI can run a little cool, with some accepting it and others with various ideas like fitting a...

    Retrofit Diesel Particulate Filter?

    Some companies are providing a filter system to replace the silencer box, I wondered if anyone has investigated the cost. I've spent 2 years and too much money getting my 1992 200tdi 110 CSW back on the road, I am a little concerned at the recent annoucement that diesel drivers will start to...

    Refurbed Defender doors

    Got my blue Defender 110 with doors in a sorry state. I was looking on ebay and some second hand doors are basically price of new; occasionally you see a bargain in the £150 region but they all have rust. Then I saw an ad for Donor Defender UK they refurb the doors and rebuild them and I...

    Is LandyZone a Club?

    I had an insurance quote for my lightly modified V8 110 and they offered 10% off if I was in a club. So I plan to join a club, but really LandyZone does everything I need I was wondering if it constitutes a club already (mutual support, meet-ups, advice, etc) and if not what would it take to...

    What amperage cables?

    Going to be correcting some bodged electrics behind the dash on my CSW, replacing scotch connectors and so on with single strand wires and perhaps spade connectors where I want to be able to separate easily. I plan to get a variety of wires "for stock". What is a good selection to get in...

    Quick release battery terminals

    I need to change a terminal on my battery (D110). Has anyone fitted these to a car? They seem to be advertised for leisure batteries only, motorhomes, caravans etc., but they seem like a good idea for landrovers requiring frequent tinkering. Am I just being lazy?

    What version is this dash?

    I have a 200tdi 110 station wagon, but it seems to have no glowplug light but instead has what I recognise as a choke light. I am wondering if perhaps someone fitted a new dash, perhaps a 2.5 petrol or V8 dash by mistake. If so, might this explain why the fuel and temp gauges read maximum...

    What is that thing you always forget to order

    Just doing an online parts order (oil filter etc) and always remember too late to add that other thing I was going to buy. What is it that you always forget to include?

    1992 110 csw

    I bought this beauty off a forum member as I lost patience waiting for my other project which is in for a chassis change. I might only keep it until that is ready, but I am happy to document faults here so as not to deceive potential buyers. It needs a few improvements so I will track them...

    6ft 2" how do you get in?

    There has to be a technique to this. My 110 on 750x16s is bit too high to just launch onto the driver's seat from the ground, but if I put my right foot on the flip down step my head is well above the roofline. So I have been stepping up then hunching while grabbing the steering wheel and...

    Nr side rear side door fixed glass

    I want to walk in somewhere and get a new glass for the side rear passenger door on my CSW 110. The fixed pane is missing. Anyone got the part number? I have been searching and coming up with channels but not glass.

    What S/W would you buy for £3000, 109 or 110?

    Tempted by a couple of local land rovers and trying to weigh up the pros and cons. It's not a main vehicle so need not be fully practical, but I do like the genuine station wagons. Option 1 is a nice original 109 safari. I have owned a series 2a in the past so I know the limitations and ride...

    air conditioning from other vehicle

    We have a 10 year old Mazda Tribute 3 litre which is "fully loaded" with extras including the best air con I have had in any car. Quite a lot of work is anticipated for the MOT, and Japanese cars being what they are (well it was also sold as a Ford) the unique parts are expensive and we are...

    timc1967's 110 slow project

    Since I tried and failed to do a chassis swap on my dear old Series IIa way back in the 90s, I commissioned a tame ex-mil mechanic to do the chassis swap on the 110 wot I purchased last November. I was happy to see some progress today. I hope the pic is of interest. Its a V8 conversion...

    110 Rear tub comparison CSW verses HT

    I have a 110 Hard Top getting a new chassis shortly. I want to explore the idea of grafting in a CSW rear floor to give a footwell for some forward-facing rear seats where the long wheel boxes currently sit. I am imagining cutting the HT wheelboxes ahead of the rear wheels and getting a...
