Hi all. My 1983 110 total rebuild is done and I'm wrangling with the agreed value for the insurance (FJ) It's on a Richards chassis which has been painted in black poly and has an galv ashtree bulkhead, The axle cases trailing arms. A frame and radius arms also blasted and painted in black...

Climbed a big hill yesterday with the new chassis etc in the trailer. Pulled OK, turbo has always been whistly. Stopped at the top for a pee, left it ticking over, and all the way home it made no boost. No smoke of any kind. Ideas anyone?

I picked this up the other day, wanted a 110 for ages, but all the ones for sale which I can afford are firmly in the 'will need work in a few years'/category, so when Mrs L (Yes, I have her blessing) found this on Scumtree, just a few miles away I thought AHA! Now I can do all the work now and...

No. Not the bashed dented chassis, or the rust. The round plug type thing. Is it for towbar electrics? Can you get a multi plug thing that just goes straight on? Cheers Nixk4

dont work. The main beam works when you push the arm away, but not when you pull towards. All the fuses are OK. Relays or switch? Ta

Took the floor out today to change the fuel tank, and I found... well, fresh air. Is this needing immediate attention or can I put the floor back down and pretend its all fine. There will be a chassis swap coming up later this year or early next.

Anyone know where I can get 909 and 811 (alaskan white and vesuvius orange) in more than touch up pens or rattle cans?

Has anyone fitted seats off a Saab into a 90? I used to have a saab, and the seats were seriously good. My landys seats are seriously adequate, and I'm thinking about doing a swap. £20 a pair for the 'new' seats from a scrapyard, so there's not too much to lose.

All of them, From the tank, all round the engine bay, to the injector pump. Looked on the 'addocks, but can't seem to locate the required. Don't fancy going into LR main agent with my special bunning trousers on. Any ideas? Anyone breaking one? Cheers.

As my defender started life as a 200 TDi, and then inexplicably gained a petrol engine, should it still have the diesel loom? And should I be able to simply transplant the glow plug relay and wiring across from the donor disco if I can get hold of a defender glow plug wiring kit that connects to...

Can I fit 'em both into a diesel 90? If I can, should I get:- a) the special shiny central das thingywotsit or b) a tragic max power dash pod? Can you tell which one I'm keener on? Is it actually worth having these things in a defender, surely if it gets noisy, you change up, quieter, you...

The disco 200 tdi is now in the engine bay of my previously petrol powered defender. POI for anyone thinking of putting a disco lump in their defender, a 10mm tap is useful. If you tap all the blank holes in the disco flywheel housing, then most, possibly all of the bolt holes from the...

With gearbox attached, separating on the floor / bench, or splitting them in situ, and taking the engine out by itself? I do intend to remove the g/ box and trans. box from mine, as it's as rotten as british politics.

My bodgathon continues, (Or should I say my rectification of someone elses bodgeathon) continues. My old front bumper was held together with chequer plate, and held on with 3 bolts. Has anyone got a spare defender bumper mounting bolt? Also, On removing the panel on the left wing to fit the...

Hi Does anyone know the part numbers of the rubber bungs that fit into the holes at the front of a 90's chassis rails please? Also, sump plugs washers etc. Should I replace them if i'm changing the fluids, or do they usually get reused. I can see where and how to top up the swivel hubs, but...

I'm having a few problems. The landy was originally a TDi, but now has a 2.5 NA petrol in it (Don't know why they've put that boat anchor in it, but there you go.) I work as an Air Traffic Controller, and my place of work is airside at the airport. The landy's a second vehicle, and as such...

The diff lock / hi and low range linkages were real stiff, so they got doused in WD40. They then weren't real stiff, but the difflock wouldn't engage. So I dismantled the transmission tunnel, and found that the difflock linkage was worn so a full movement at the lever didn't translate into a...

It belongs to a mate of mine, and he just doesn't use it anymore, it's been offered to me for a <very> reasonable price. He bought it recon from Liveridge 4X4 about 6 years ago, all the oily bits and bodywork reconed about 6 years ago, and since then dry garaged, waxoyled last year. It's a...

Hi Wannabe 90 owner here, (Hopefully soon not to be a wannabe) If you've got one to sell, I'll consider a 200TDi, as late as possible, up to about 3K Ta Nick
