This is a most useful thread, I have been 'peeing' about with my TIg welder for the betterpart of a day trying to get some settings to help repair my Series 3 bodywork, so far Ive learned from my own mistakes that cleanliness is key and its real easy to get a big hole very quick !... oh and...

Finally found a photo showing the csw 109" bulk head to look pretty similar to my 110 - so am confident I can resolve the leg room. then look at a turret hole for my head ! thanks folks for the information.

Hi Col I’ve been reading your posts , I’m 6’2” and 16 stone. I do have a rather long thigh though. Am I correct in assuming the seat box to bulkhead behind the seat arrangement are pretty much the same in a 109” as a 110” that is to say once the seat rail is lifted up to clear the bulkhead in...

Looking for a replacement landrover - had a look around a s3 88" last week and to be blunt could barely get in behind the steering wheel - it had by the looks of it been a short cab / pick up rear and had a hard top fitted. Behind the front seats was a 4"+ high bulk head full width. The 'seller'...

Stolen from outside my home last night - its a 110 TD5 2002 reg CV02HHC. from SK237Er Whaley Bridge High Peak Derbyshire Base spec' no significant enhancements to speek of, door hinges black - rear boot door fitted with a gas strut, no off side rear door card fitted as the doors shot with rust...

what sort of millage you getting out of the half shafts ? Ive no idea if mine are original (suspect so) at 149Kmiles they may well need looking at in the foreseeable.

I read that thread .. just wasnt 100% by the end of it if yours was td5 or if they were the same shafts / axels. Mines currently fitted with plastic push on caps. Not filling me with confidence.

Blimey - I cant imagine a machine tool drive shaft being left like that. Thanks for letting me know guys. Off for a good drive tomorrow, first time out more than 5 miles from home since lockdown - see how all the homeshop works have changed (dare not say improved) the drive. mat

Slightly surprised to see about 1/2" of end float on the half shafts of the rear axel of my 2002 TD5 110 when I took it in for a pair of new tyres. A quick google search and ive confused myself as to if a TD5 should or shouldnt have such float and if spacers are used or not etc etc. Any TD5...

Once I get a dimension I will make up a shoulder bolt. But everytime I tried an adjustment the bolt bent and rubbing ensued. PITA. Thanks for the reply. Feeling slightly less insane. Mat

Im running 265/75/R16 - Ive checked the head of the sheared bolt after rooting about in the bin 8.8 grade pretty standard. Im wondering If I should make up a spacer to stiffen things up a bit - cant see it would hurt as long as It stays put.

Having a bit of nightmare having decided to sort out the rather crap left and full lock - it being about 20% larger turning circle than turning right. The M12 hex bolt and locking nut were bent but effectively stopping the left turn (by stopping the RHOS wheel travel. So I removed the bolt...

Cheers for the info' I shall have a look - with regard the alternator - not got that far yet - but so far nothing ive started has gone smoothly ! So I suspect you are spot on. Still running in my new Remanufactured TD5 engine - the REV counter was a temperary measure to aid in the running in...

I have a few cables I want to take from the engine bay through into the dash to connect up, not done it before so looking for a some advice. Its my only motor and its a long trip to get additional parts so it would be nice to not run into problems once I start and I really dont want to without a...

Im 6'1" 15 stone - not quite a second row rugby player but no athelete either. Yes the 110 csw is cramped in standard form. Mine was already fitted with a momo ? steering wheel which sits on a 4" high boss. Its smaller dia and raised position help. I just fitted exmoor trim seat rails to gain...

I’ve never used them, which is daft as I’ve been here twenty years and landrovers for most of that time. I used to use HighPeak4x4 until I got fed up with Winston and then they shut up shop overnight. For the last ten years I’ve been using Karl woods garage in Chapel but then Karl sold up and my...

I have the same turning circle issue on my TD5 (2002) but as its away have surgery, Ive not been able to check to see how the stop bolts are set with respect clearance . It is shocking at how much space it requires to turn.

Im aiming for a 'Re- manufactured unit' so effectively a new engine - then I know what Ive got and can look after it. Ive spent a lot of time looking through the options and concluded this to be the best option for me providing I keep hold of the motor long term. My reason for going this route...

the 110 was £9 k. I’ve put a further £1k in it with rear springs shockers, mid crossmember, front swivel, full set door hinges and security mods. At the minute a new remanufactured unit is running at £7 k installed. Which blows my budget I had earmarked for the interior and general funeral...

By way of an update. I’ve decided to cut my loses and replace the engine. Hell of a financial hit as I want to know it’s replacement is going to be 100% reliable for at least a few years. Any views on what else to do while swapping the units ? Have committed to a new clutch and slave cylinder...
