Hi all, keen to take advantage of the knowledge of you guys! I`ve got a 1987 110 200 TDI conversion and want to know whats currently limiting my articulation (I want as much as possible while still being able to use it as a daily drive= no rose jointed bushes haha). Front axle: OME +2 shocks...

Getting paid some money in about a month or two. Think I should invest in a compressor so I can waxoyl the chassis each summer (to save on the £500-£600 of having it done professionally) and give the outside a bit of a respray with genuine Nato Green. Just a general inquiry really, how many...

Hi, basically checked the oil on my defender and the oil in the front axle really needs a change-it was black and grimey. I can get the fill plugs out of both diffs easily. Also want to change the rear oil as I have no idea when it was last changed. I have removed all the accumulated grime...

Hi all, definitely getting into the whole landrover thing! Took my 110 camping this weekend and did a bit of light off roading, loved it as always! Have a few queries/questions... 1) What is the difference between drum and disk breaks(looked already but just got confused)? What will my 110...

Recently replaced all 4 bolts holding on the military bumper on my 110 as they were rusted (looked deeper than just surface rust). Was wondering if anyone knew what the bumper with the standard towing pin is rated to? Just curious really! Cheers :) Also what is the rear nato towing pintle...

Hi all, I have an ex-mod 110 with a 200tdi as my landy(made 1986), love her to bits but she is soo noisy, tried to reduce this a bit with front and rear acoustic matting. Spent the weekend being driven around in a 2/3year old 110 with a tdci and couldn`t get over how different it was :( -it was...

Hi, I have only just realised when looking at my landrover that it`s axles were different (stupid I know!). It has a salisbury rear axle and normal front axle, however the salisbury rear axle clearly reduces ground clearance by about 1-2 inches. Have done some research and it says the salisbury...

Hi all, I have been looking for ages for either a wing-top snorkel kit ready to buy, or the piece which allows the snorkel to exit through the top of the wing rather than the side. I can`t for the life of me find one anywhere, but I have definitely seen them fitted to some landrovers! Also I...

Thought this would be straightforward but it`s not...I have an ex-mod 110. Bought a T bar type wheel brace and it fits onto all the wheel nuts on the 4 rims. But when I try to get it round the two nuts holding the spare onto the bonnet it doesn't fit as the nuts are too big. I`m confused

Hi bit of a random question really as I`m trying to figure out how far I can stretch my set of tires without buying new ones. -How many more miles will I get out of these tires? -Do they get a lot worse off road when they have less tread? Just been out and measured them-in the middle where...

Hi all, basically I originally insured my landy for £3750 but since then It has changed quite a lot, I am trying to figure out what it is actually worth for the insurance, in the worst case scenario it were to be stolen (have two anti theft bits to try to prevent this). So the spec: 1986 ex-mod...

Hi all, still very new to the landrover world and wanting to learn more. Basically I want to learn more about landrover engines, and thinking of stripping one down and rebuilding it, is this a good idea? Should I just buy any engine, however prices start at £300 ish on fleabay.

Pretty much as it says in the title really, I am wondering what toolbox you use to put in the side lockers? Have looked but can`t find anything that fits well, as I think this would be a pretty good place for a toolbox. I was thinking having two, spares in one and tools in the other

Hi all, basically I have done a bit of research and decided I want to teach myself how to weld :) Is this a good welder to start off on MIG WELDER 130 AMP PRICE INCLUDES VAT GASLESS MIG WELDER | eBay ? What else would I need to start welding other than some scrap metal to practice on...

Hi I recently took my ex-mod 110 to a landrover garage that came recommended to me, and they wrote up a list of stuff to do to it. Could you please tell me if the list seems reasonable, and give me some more information of what actually needs doing (In simple terms, I am not very good at...
