Great! Thanks so much!

Hi. No, what is that? I saw RAVE mentioned elsewhere but I don't know what it is. Pardon my ignorance, I've only had the Disco a fortnight. Oh I see! It's a workshop manual! Great. I'll download it.

Does anyone have a .pdf of the owner's manual/handbook for a 1997 300tdi they'd be willing to share? I've come from a 1983 110 to all these switches and buttons, plus a central locking system which seems to be possessed by the devil, and I don't have a clue what a lot of it does or how to use...

I'm toying with the idea of fitting an ignition switch without a steering lock, seeing as thieves seem to have no trouble breaking the standard column lock. Would that be problematic?

Some worthless toe-rag tried to nick my 110 on Friday night/Sat morning. For some reason they abandoned the attempt. They forced all three door locks but left the ignition lock undamaged. However, they did start to remove the plastic cowling from behind the steering wheel, presumably to hotwire...

My '83 110 recently developed a noisy exhaust. When I checked it out I found that the downpipe had rusted through just before the flanged joint where it meets the second section. The top joint where it meets the manifold assembly is also flanged, so I thought "Easy, just undo six bolts and whip...

Not sure if I should post this on here or not, but there is currently a brand new waterproof, breathable cover for a 110 on ebay at 99p with a day to go. And no, it's not me selling it! LANDROVER DEFENDER 110 WATERPROOF BREATHABLE PROTECTION COVER XXL2 TARP CLIPS | eBay

Update: This problem was fixed by the repairers after the vehicle got nicked in January and had to have a new steering column fitted. I still don't know what was causing it but I suspect the sensor switch rather than the brakes themselves. Anyway, they sorted it as part of the insurance job.

"Real head turner" or stomach...?

Cheers guys.

Bugger. Just realised I posted a similar thread yesterday! How do i delete? My memory must be going.

Having just had my 110 stolen and recovered, I want to prevent it happening again. Obviously I can fit a physical anti-theft device like a pedal lock or disklok, but is there a simple way to immobilise the engine or render it non-starting? I used to pull out the coil lead on my old Hillman Imp...

Just rang the garage. They haven't examined it properly as the police forensic team need to go over it. However, they said the only obvious damage was to the steering column and ignition assembly. Of course, the numpties might have driven it with the difflock on and buggered it up, or thrashed...

Just heard from the police that they've found him! About a mile from here as the crow flies. It's been recovered to a secure garage. I don't know any more than that. I can sleep soundly now though! :clap2:

The tyre tracks soon got lost amidst the tracks of other cars. There were two sets of prints but the snow made it impossible to tell what sort of footwear. First thing I did, after swearing a lot.

It's just so battered and to be honest, I can't see the professional thieves thinking: "Whoa! We'll have that!" There's a much better nick 110 just down the road, similar age.

having just had my 1993 110 stolen from outside our house in Sheffield, I'm thinking that if I get it back or get another, I should buy some sort of anti-theft device. Thing is, are any of them any good? Does anyone have any recommendations for simple to fit anti-theft devices to fit...

No I didn't have anything on it. I always thought it being so old and battered would make it unattractive to thieves. Only had it 5 months. :( It's funny it going missing when there's heavy snow. makes me wonder if someone just fancied a snowy joyride. I could see the footprints leading in...

Stolen this morning between midnight and 6am, from Norton Lees, Sheffield S8. Land Rover 110 A676EEF Blue-green with cream roof Unmodified externally LH headlamp not working Just woke up and it was gone, stolen off the street. No broken glass, though the snow might be covering it up...

No there's no wires. Just the reservoir. No electrical connections anywhere. The light comes on as soon as I turn the ignition and stays on.
