This isn't the same as yours I know but given they share similar heritage, there may be a few shared design cues (unless it was all made up with whatever was in the shop). My Tithonus TUM FFR (Defender 110) came with a 200TDi Disco engine (which also sits further back) with a short R380...

Check all your earths first and magic might happen!

Wild idea and no idea if it's doable, could you get a replacement 3D printed?

Have you any pics of you in action with this setup? The setup I am contemplating was to avoid the stories of flying shackles but you sound like you've got it sussed but with shackles intact.

Yes I've plenty of rope and could splice something suitable but wanted something I felt comfortably rated for the job and had that bit of stretch to take up the load. As I've said elsewhere, I believe the spec is up to the job.

The Height Adjuster has a 3,500kg rated capacity, the tow ball and pin are 3,500kg rated capacity and E11 rated (D Value = 17Kn). Mounted with m16 h/t bolts with appropriately graded plates, back plate and bracers to the jate ring points on a sound chassis. As versatile as your setup is I...

Really interesting thanks (and apologies from me too for hijacking -10°C last night, plenty of snow / ice still about). I was contemplating soft shackles with a kinetic recovery rope, something like one of these in the link but there are other combos. GODIAG 1"×20ft Kinetic Recovery Rope...

What do you use to tow folks out and how do you strap things together. I'm pretty good on the slippery stuff (rally driving years ago) but not very experienced at pulling vehicles. It's probably something I should apply myself too as my '94 200TDi/R380 Tith has a 1.6 transfer box giving a fair...

Basking in the lovely blue sky in the far North of Scotland 😂 Plenty of snow about but not enough to warrent the big coat yet.

There was a comment on the strut (on your link) about bending when fully opened. Is that something you find or might it have been an installation issue?

I've not used them yet but as they're dated 1996 (it also says 97 MODEL Year on some pages) I assumed they're as stated on the file name as a 300TDi so would be good for my 1994 300TDi. I believe it's replacement the TD5 didn't come in till 1998. I'll stand corrected as I'm far from expert...

Diags posted up here recently... Post in thread 'Fuse blowing - fuel gauge, temp gauge, indicators (not hazards) full beam (not flashing)' https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/fuse-blowing-fuel-gauge-temp-gauge-indicators-not-hazards-full-beam-not-flashing.396154/post-5780659

That's brilliant, just the job for my '94 300TDi 90 thanks.

Ex MOD / Land Rover Military Vehicle Pioneer Tools Pick Axe head and Shovel Pick Axe head and Spade (e-Bay sale - surplus to requirements) Military Pioneer Tool to fit Land Rover Defender and I think Land Rover Series 3, Land Rover Wolf, 101 Forward Control & Land Rover 1/2 Ton Light Weight...

You need a sturdy pipe as it might bend at the ends.

I've put a bigger battery in so I cut a quarter out of a length of pipe (ended up with a C shape in cross-section) I had that was longer than the angle iron used as a diagonal clamp on the smaller battery.

I was at the other end of that, I used to be a rally navigator in the 70s and we stripped / rebuilt our engine and I gas flowed it by eye (½ and fully round files, getting everything smoother by loading the file with chalk for a finer cut on a smooth file). When noise rules came in we had to...

What intercooler did you fit @D1Nut ?

A possible blunder by me, I've popped three things surplus to requirements on e-bay (Nato Hitch, SA80 Gun Stand, Beacon) off my 1994 Tithonus 110 FFR. I can't see the rules for posting stuff such as this. They're here...

You're half a day too late 😂 I had to replace my battery for the same reason in my '94 ex-MOD 110, didn't get that deal or that grunty a battery. Ended up with a Yuasa 95ah 720 which was considerably better than the previous battery (about the same price) and I'll look out for something like...
