    110 Steel to Alloy Wheels -- general advice please

    I've recently bought a 110 CSW 200tdi. It has mud terrain tyres on modular steel wheels, which really look the part, but above 50mph you can no longer hear the engine, and I'm sure they are not improving the fuel economy either! I want to fit BF Goodrich ATs, as the majority of my driving will...

    Door Lock Change -- Help please with glass guide rail

    My passenger door lock has stopped working properly (not the cylinder, the actual lock/catch mechanism). I have a replacement, and I am most of the way through removing the old one, but have got a bit stuck... Two problems: (i) Exterior door handle screws are knackered. Removing it will...

    Heated Rear Window not working

    Heated rear window in my 93 200TDi 110 is not working. Long story short, so far I have found two reasons:(a) Some toe-rag has removed the HRW relay from its socket :eek: (b) There is no +volts at the Voltage Sensitive Switch. (According to wiring diagram it should be a permanent live.) So, four...

    How to Remove Corroded Sidelight, Indicator Units? (LED replacements?)

    My 1993 200Tdi has a halogen headlight conversion. One bulb has blown, but the screws holding the sidelight and indicator are all knackered -- heads have corroded away -- so I can't remove the panel to get at the headlight. How do I proceed? I tried drilling out the remains of the screw heads...

    Battery Warning Light vs old battery

    This is more of an FYI really. A faulty (old) battery can cause the charging warning light to stay on, even if it is then re-charged enough (off the vehicle) to start the engine multiple times. Presumably there was something inside the battery that stopped it receiving charge from the...

    Landy-friendly garages in New Forest?

    Hi All Off camping in the New Forest tomorrow, but 110 is nursing an intermittent charging fault (described elsewhere...) Can anyone tell me the whereabouts of suitably Landy-friendly garages around the New Forest area (we're staying at Brockenhurst, right in the middle) in case I need to call...

    Alternator Pulley Removal (Help!)

    OK, the background to this is in another thread, but time has caught up with me -- have a new alternator to fit, as I'm assuming the old one is dodgy -- and need the truck working tomorrow. I would have no problem fitting my new alternator, except that I can't get the pulley/fan off the old...

    Ignition light on (and off)

    My ignition light is staying on most of the time, but can be made to go off... The light behaves as it should to start with: on with the ignition, then on starting, light stays on briefly but then goes out (when alternator exceeds its minimum speed).... Trouble is that light comes on again...

    Heated rear screeen not working

    '93 110 CSW: heated rear window / screen hasn't worked since I bought the car last year.* Checked fuse OK, switch OK (I think - surprised to find 3 terminals, but it changes resistance enough when switched...) element appears to be OK (continuity good). I then had a look at the Haynes wiring...

    110 CSW rear seat retrofitting - legal?

    Would it be legal to fit bench or side-facing seats in the back of a 110 CSW? At present the top of the wheel-arches is plywood (!), presumably using the original fixing holes; and just to complicate matters, the outer middle seats are high-backed (so, presumably, 3-person benches won't fit?)...

    Mudflaps - 90 vs 110

    My 110's rear mudflaps have started to split near the top (looks like an obvious weak point) and I want to buy replacements before they fall off. A seller on fleabay is advertising a (used) set of four for "90 or 110". I thought that the 90 flaps fitted straight to the rear crossmember, and...

    Exhaust fitting tips?

    Need to replace the exhaust on my 110 (standard 3-part for a 200tdi). I know it's a pretty straightforward job, but I've not done one before. There are several clamped joints. Do they need gaskets, or some kind of sealant, or what? Any other tips?

    Alternator upgrade?

    Got to replace my A127 alternator on my 110. Existing unit is 45A rating. Any problems about fitting a 65A unit instead? Same connectors used? Anything else need upgrading to suit? (I'm currently shopping around for a price - how can there be so many different part numbers for the...

    Voltage regulator for 200Tdi alternator?

    I managed to flatten the battery on my 1996 110 by using the worklights for too long with the engine off (silly me!). One jump start and a 30min drive later and I thought all would be well. (Ignition light was going off, correctly.) Next day, it wouldn't start! As I was on holiday I had no...

    New tyres front or rear?

    Hi all Annoyed to find slow puncture in NSF tyre (plenty of tread left).:mad: When I replace it, was going to get the (new) spare swapped with one of the others so the new tyres are fitted as a pair. (Spare doesn't match - same tyre but different rim) Should the new tyres be fitted to...

    Tyre Pressures -- 110 CSW

    Sorry, it's this old chestnut again. I did search for previous posts on here and just ended up more confused than I started :confused: . OK, I have a recently-purchased 110 CSW 200tdi on shiny steel rims shod with General GrabberAT2 - LT 265/75 R 16 tyres. There's a note scribbled in the front...

    Greetings from Guildford

    Hi all Recently shelled-out on a 1992 Defender 110 CSW (200Tdi) and am occasionally wondering whether I've done the right thing (I keep seeing rusty bits that I'm sure 'weren't there before'). It's my first 'proper' Landy, after a number of years of owning a Freelander (which is now...
