I am almost finished improving my 1997 110 and I am almost certainly going to sell it. I have a set of 4 LED spot lamps to attach to the Front Runner roof rack and a Raptor Dash with a new radio, CB radio switches and 3 gauges plus some new LED interior lights. I bought it 18 months ago but...

I have had a look at old threads but can't see the answer.... Rear door has now decided not to lock.....The key turns and the little lever on the inside of the lock can be seen to move up and down but it is now not locking. I have never felt any click or resistance when turning the key to...

I am only using my Defender 110 County once or twice a month and it is now damp, condensation and mold is about... I know the real solution is to use it more but I am looking for a cost effective and safe way just to try and keep it dry on the inside. I have spotted a electric tube heater and...

I picked up 5ltr of 15/40 diesel mineral oil suitable for the older engines like my 1997 300tdi for just £10 saving at least £6 from my local Asda. Not sure if its a nationwide offer.

I was caught out twice last winter (no snow or on holiday) when I have left my Landy for a few weeks and my imobiliser has sucked the battery flat. I am looking at getting a solar panel to attach to the battery by a 'live' cig/12v socket I will have fitted to my 110. I know the winter months...

I did a quick search on here and couldn't spot it... this may be of use to people with iphones... I am happy with me 5yr old Nokia.... YouTube - LROTV iPhone Apps for your Land Rover

My 110 came with a tow bar and ball... I have had light trailers on but nothing heavy. I have been offered the use of a nice caravan so I needed to replace the old tow ball with a AL-KO tow ball and just swapped them. I was at my independant Landy mans today and he looked at my tow set up and...

I wasn't even going to try but my Auto Electrician is away.... had a search but nothing specific on this fault. The 110 passed its MOT a few weeks ago... I had a minor issue with the reversing light that wasn't working, then it decided it would work so left it well alone. Last week I noticed...

I have no idea about in car speakers but I know the front speakers in my Defender 110 under the dash are pretty crap..... the ones behind the second row of seats are fitted into plywood covered in carpet and one of these does not work. The radio is a JVC, it has a flip top, takes a CD and you...

I treated myself to a Raptor dash.... Landrover Dash Console from Raptor Engineering | Dashboard Accessories | Landrover Accessories at the indoor show in Stafordshire yesterday. Was havin a think today about the 3 main gauges to buy and fit.... Volt meter and 2 others... not sure which yet...

I got a genuine brand new Land Rover Defender Heavy Duty Battery (up to TD5) for a good price of £50.... part No STC 8271. The only downer is that it is a dry battery and it needed 6 litres of acid plus a 24 hour charge once it cooled down.... works perfectly as you would expect. If you have a...

Took me a while but I managed to get a good self leveling unit for my 110. Mine dont work so its almost time to replace it..... reading Haynes it seems a fairly straight forward job.....if you've done one before its a doddle :) I aint:confused: I never get a straight job! While I have it...

My 110 has two batteries linked together... no idea why thats the way it is... one bigger than the other. Not used Landy for 6 weeks and returned from holiday yesterday, batteries completely dead. I guess the alarm has drained it flat. I am guessing I need to charge the batteries rather than...

I have no snorkel on my 110 but looking at getting one. I did fit a Mantec plastic jobby on my last Defender but at around £150 its not worth the money. Spotted this one for £57.... looks very good for the money and its military spec. Anyone bought one and do they look okay? STC50265 MILITARY...

I bought this 1997 110 last year... its an ex BT special vehicle, just 6 seats. The alloys and the 265/75 r16 already fitted. Anyone know if these would have been the original alloys? If not, what was likely to have been fitted? Pic would be nice... cheers. I know the tyres are bigger than standard.

No doubt a repeat but for those who haven't seen it on Sky Discovery channel Wheeler Dealer numpteys are 'upgrading' a nice 90... you can see it at 11pm on channel 521 + 1hr. Any comments on how they abuse a 90?

I have 5 almost new Enduro Runway A/T tyres on alloys 265/75 r16. I am fairly happy with them but they are not the best tyres, they are just okay. They are 'snow' rated but they are not half as good as the standard size General Grabber TRs I had on my old 90. I am thinking of replacing them...

I have been using my 110 300tdi during the cold spell... temps have been as low as -15c. No problem starting and driving at low speeds but when asked to accelerate hard she wouldn't have it..... once I put the pedal past about a 1/4 no increase in power. I guessed that my diesel was waxing and...

I am looking for a self leveling unit for my 1996 110 CSW. I have recently replaced shocks/springs with genuine standard stuff. Obviously must work and be in good nick if possible.. I want one I can just fit without a fuss. Not after anything for free.... just a reasonable price. In the next...

With winter getting closer we all dread that moment when you turn the key in the Landy at 7am.... nothing! Or worse still leaving the girlfriends house.... I mean... you cant really call the missus ;) Jump leads are cheap and normally effective but unless you have 2 cars your screwed for an...
