    Power steering diagnosis help

    Hi all. The power steering on the 110 has gone very stiff, but not being familiar with these, I’m not sure where to look to decide what’s at fault. It worked ok after the rebuild but I hadn’t touched any of it except replace the front hoses. Now it’s very stiff to turn the wheel and gets...

    VDO oil pressure sender. Which one?

    Hi all. I’ve just fitted some VDO gauges to my 12J 110. The oil pressure gauge has no sender as yet. Few questions relating to this: Where is the best place to fit the sender to the oil system? What thread should/would it have (I’m guessing the 1/8 NPT as I only see metric otherwise?). What...

    Occasional high idle

    Hi all. My 110 had been in the road for about 6 months now, and occasionally I get a high idle. Blipping or lifting the throttle pedal doesn’t seem to help. Next junction and it goes back to normal. Any ideas what could be causing this? Stock 12J 1987. Cheers, Jim

    Tracker recommendation

    I’m thinking of fitting a tracker/alarm/immobiliser to my 1987 110. Obviously immobilising a simply 2.5NA is very simple but then very easy to defeat. Does anyone have any good ideas in this area? I think a concealed GPS and a loud alarm is what I’m after. Thoughts?

    Bonnet spare mount

    Hi all. I have a bonnet mounted spare but the fixing doesn’t seem correct to me. If I mount it hub up, the bolts will stretch the bonnet up and I cannot get the split pin in. If I mount it hub down, the bolts cannot do up to capture the wheel. The second way looks more correct but like there’s...

    Slight gearbox noise - worrying.

    Driving home from a successful MOT and I noticed a slight screech coming from I think a gearbox but only when off load. Just done a full rebuild but the boxes only had an oil change - it’s been standing since 2008. It sounds like it could be a bush spinning. Any ideas where I should start...

    Agreed value? Agreed by who…

    Hi all. Just completing my 110 restoration and want to get agreed value insurance. At the moment I’m just telling the insurers £10k to get some quotes, but what’s it really worth? I know everyone is always asking what’s it worth cos they want to sell it, but I don’t, I just need a proper...

    Door card nut inserts

    Does anyone know the part number or spec of the nut inserts on the bottom of the door frames for the door cards? It’s a 1986 110 and I cannot find them listed anywhere. Cheers

    Sliding window screws.

    For information, the small screws holding the channels together on the factory sliding windows are 6-32 x 1/4” UNC. Took me a while to work them out but they’re freely available on eBay. Might be useful to someone.

    Hi all just about to renovate my side sliding windows of a 110. Some of the screws in the frames are missing and I’m trying to identify the dimensions. I *think* they’re 6-32 x 1/4” UNC but can anyone confirm? Cheers, Jim

    Does anyone ever go to Munich??

    Hi all - big ask but I might as well put it out there. I’ve got a small lathe in bits on a pallet in Munich, but it’s going to cost me £££s to get it shipped. Does anyone ever go that way in a van or similar? Cheers.

    Cat Flap - let’s see.

    So today I bought a rear door with the intention of converting it into a cat-flap for my ex-pickup. This could be a long running thread so don’t hold your collective breaths…

    Floor refitting.

    Hi all. Can someone tell me, what goes on first? The rear trans tunnel cover or the floor panel? Looks like the centre hole is for a captive square but so I think the floor is first but can someone confirm please. Cheers, Jim

    DDS Metal Services - anyone used them?

    Hi all. Has anyone used door skins from DDS Metal Services? They list the skins I need by they only sell to the trade so cannot get a price. I’m rebuilding my early 110 doors and stripped the skins of paint today. They’re very pitted and I’m looking for options, which are limited as they are...

    Where this bolt to then?

    This is a metal clip on the handbrake cable. Anyone care to suggest where it bolts to? I just can’t work out a good place for it. Cheers, Jim

    Wiring wipac woes.

    Been wiring up the rear lights today and it’s not gone great. The all new Wipac lights re pretty low quality and one tail/stop light won’t even hold the bulb, plus the connector plate inside revolves so the contacts don’t line up. Those Lucas connectors are really c**p - what’s the go to...

    A couple of bits I can’t remember…

    Morning all. Couple of problem areas in my restoration that I didn’t take photos of. Can someone tell me where the front wing stays on a 110 pickup bolt to on the chassis? The ones just forward of the rear wheel, at the front of the tub. Second, there’s a metal P-clip on the transmission...
