    URGENT: Scapping Disco 300Tdi (engine and gearbox in good condition)

    I / my father had started breaking a Disco 1 with 300Tdi engine in it. Due to me having a trailer available this weekend we'd like to scrap the rest of the vehicle to clear up some space. Basically the reason for breaking / scrapping it is the chassis is completely shot to pieces. The engine...

    Gun cabinet / pull out drawer system

    No longer required Gun Cabinet (conforms to same specs as house based gun cabinets), dimensions 90cm deep (+25mm for lip / drawer handle), 80cm wide and 20cm tall. Fits perfectly into the back of a 110, I've moved the mounting brackets to the back and they've been set up so they can be...

    Whoops...

    Fitted standard van back springs to the 110 (it's a CSW so has a dysfunctional self-levelling unit) a few weeks ago. They were fitted because of the dysfunctional unit but also I'm carrying a fair amount of weight in the back usually so with a gun cabinet permanently installed there now thought...

    HD Springs

    Just curious if anyone has them fitted and whether there's a noticeable difference in handling / comfort on the road? Reason I'm asking is after driving our rifle teams up to Cambridge this weekend (9 people in the 110 plus 10 rifles and usual stuff like hi-lift etc) the suspension was pretty...

    Trike Height?

    Does anybody know what the trike height measurement on the inside of the windscreen is? It's about 2ft taller than the vehicle?

    "Like-for-like"

    After the nice little shunt I had on the A3 a few weeks ago the "like-for-like" courtesy car arrived today before the 110 goes in tomorrow to fix the minor damage to it. The vehicle it's replacing: And the replacement: The Official Website for Volkswagen UK : Volkswagen UK Oh well...

    It's going

    It's with a little regret that I've decided it's not worthwhile keeping my Series III, nor fair on it since it just sits there day in day out just getting s*** on by the swallows in the barn. I've put it off for a while but basically I just don't have the time to use it and as a result it's...

    "Empty 110" - M4 Corridor

    Since I came across quite a few people who were after the LandyZone courier service thought I'd drop my weekend trip in... Will be going down the M4 corridor (Guildford through Bisley up to Readingish and then off at Swindon to Gloucester - Monmouth - Neath to Pembrokeshire). Leaving...

    Near London based servicing

    I know, I know - do it yourself but a) I don't have the time b) the 110's been well looked after and I intend to keep it that way... c) I don't have the time :rolleyes: Anybody have any recommendations on where to go for a routine service? I'm based in Chelsea but travel in and out of London...

    Wheel Spacers?

    Having just bought a new toy - County 330Tdi 110 - we wanted to keep the set of BFG A/T we had from the 90 which we're selling. The BFGs are on a set of (I think) standard Land Rover alloys. The problem is that on full lock the tyres are rubbing the trailing arms on the front - other than...

    How much do you think she's worth?

    While going to the bank in the local town someone asked me if I was interested in selling my SIII. I've had similar thoughts on and off for a few months basically with the idea of swapping it for something more practical what with my shooting and climbing (possibly a 110). Anyway, I know how...

    Only by Invitation

    It's a long story that started just before Christmas when I had a phone call from some people representing that I'd expressed an interest in test driving a Land Rover. The only place I can think where they might have got this information was when a group of friends and I went to MPH in Earls...

    Defender - front prop = ?

    I just thought I'd see whether there's any catches to the following: Basically the UJ on the front prop on the gearbox side has gone (quite spectacularly). Currently it's in London but due to circumstances out of my control to be fixed it's going to have to head back home to West Wales. If...

    What diff have I got?

    I've just been looking at my '83 88" to fix the last few things before going for an MOT and one of the things that's being done is to fix a leaky rear diff. It's obviously the seal, however which one do I have? Rover, ENV or Salisbury? Preferably without having to dismantle the diff just to...

    Ol' Smokey

    Right, I've finished rebuilding my Series III and now getting down to getting it through the MOT. Couple of known things left (if you're interested) a brake light has stopped working again (simple fix) and new tyres are required (some Mud Terrains on order). The only thing I'm not too sure...

    Td5 Immobilised...

    I've got a bit of a problem with an S-reg Td5 90. I took it to a clay pigeon shoot over the weekend and it ended up getting immobilised through the following: Battery voltage dropped (assuming) Engine management stopped engine from starting (warning light came on) Tried to bump start it and it...

    Brake Pipes bonanza

    I'm just wondering if anyone can provide me with a list of all the part numbers (or at least descriptions) for the pipes on a 1983 88" (standard, no modifications apart from new chassis :rolleyes:). I just started bleeding the brake system after the rebuild and the front-driver-side pipe from...

    Accelerator Linkage

    Can anybody provide me with a piccy of the following part of the accelerator linkage? I'd taken it off for some bulkhead repairs and not 100% sure I've set it up correctly again. It's a 2.25 Diesel from 1983 (Series III) so only relevant vehicles (unless it's common). The bit I'm interested...

    Bulkhead bits

    Does anyone have any photos of the following parts: LR20AR Galvanised Corner Post RH LR20AL Galvanised Corner Post LH They're the corner posts I think for the engine bulkhead. The footwell area, especially the corners, are so rusted up I'm trying to find out what these parts actually cover...
