    Help with part numbers, please

    Hiya - back here after an 18 month lay-off and about to get my knuckles skinned again - oh the joy. Anyway, my 110 Defender is a bit of a hybrid, with bits sourced from all ages which the PO didn't keep any records of. I need to replace the rear brake discs but he swapped the Salisbury axle for...

    Rear wiper motor - testing?

    I've eventually got around to installing/replacing the rear wash/wipe system on my 1995 Defender. I've used a Carling switch as I couldn't find an OEM switch at a reasonable price. This is now wired in and passes power to the remains of the loom at the back door. Trouble is, the new motor won't...

    Wild Camping in Portugal

    We had a plan to go to Portugal next year and do a North-to-South offroad route we've heard about. We intended to wild camp but expert opinion suggests that this won't be possible as it's a. illegal throughout the country and b. especially so in National Parks, which have variable rules on all...

    Defender tip-up rear seat

    Wanted - and with the brown "Landrover" logo and trim like Exmoor used to do if possible. To fit a 1995 Defender. Will consider other finishes if condition is good since I could re-cover.

    300tdi - cruise control or "hands off" throttle control.

    I'd like to set up a mechanical control that'll let me set a fixed throttle for the winch and also for motorway cruising. This needs to be possible to set from a Bowden cable - for the winch - but an immediate disconnect if I press the gas pedal or brake. I'm experimenting with levers and...

    Which way do you point your snorkel intake, and why?

    I see both forward and backward. Mine is backward since the idea, as I understand it, is to avoid drawing water and/or dust into the engine. From my experience of driving behind people in dust and sand, and splashing through rivers, the obvious answer is "backwards". Any views on this?

    Morocco - and contacting my insurer

    Apologies in advance in case you've already read it, but this has appeared on another forum but with almost no response, and I'm still looking for a solution: During our last trip (April/May) we had a minor traffic accident - broken mirror, dented wing, no injuries. The damage was to the other...

    Repainting a 110 fuel tank.

    Just dropped the tank from my 110 (1995) to fix a leak and decided to repaint it. Having jetwashed all the crud- and most of the black paint - from it, I find that having scraped the rest off that: 1. the original metal is still bright and 2. the metal was never primed but 2. there's no sign of...

The holes seem to be M10, at least they can be run through...

    Just arrived....

    ...on this forum officially, but I've been watching it for years. I bought a Defender 110 5 years ago to cope with the first of our really snowy winters, and it's become a hobby/passion/excuse for getting out and travelling to "different" places. We've converted it into a home-from-home. Last...
