Hello all, I've got an ex-commando 110 that was kitted out as a wader by the military and also had the cold weather equipment. It came my way as an orphan about 12 years ago. The engine & gearbox/transbox went onto another military 110, but the wader has been in my barn in Normandy (the chickens...

I'd like to shorten the hardtop-not the body- on my 110 ex Military. This is to fit an Ifor Williams roof which is for a 90. I can then have a pick-up rear end or fit the IW roof when needed. Has anyone done this, or knows a site for designs & hints? Thanks for any help, tips, sensible...

Can anyone list the differences between a left hand drive and right hand drive 300 Tdi Defender 90 chassis? I've found a good chassis and would like to know how much work (if any) is involved. Thanks

I changed the dash perspex and, daft enough, unplugged the plugs to the instruments to make access easier. Now the mileage is flashing and although I can live with it, annoys the Boss. Does anyone know if Lynx Diagnostics will rectify this & how to do it? I got into BCU, but found the 'odometer...

I've just bought a Series 3 LWB that is good in the body and really sound chassis. It's got the original 2.25 diesel but with bits of the engine dismantled and in the vehicle. I don't know what the gearbox is like as I can't tell without pulling it apart or getting the engine running. I've got a...

I know this has been covered several times, but can someone verify bridging the ACE ECU pins 28 to 36 when disabling the amber warning light on the dash? Sierra ferry in particular had a good write up, but I'm being a bit thick as to whether the wires stay in place to the ECU, or the females at...

My gearbox in ex-MOD 110 V8 has developed some really nasty noises and difficult to engage 5th to 4th & 3rd to 2nd. The transfer box doesn't sound too good either. Do any of you clever folk know which alternative gearbox & transfer box will fit? Or is it a rebuild on the existing boxes?

Need some advice with my 2a. I've taken out the original gearbox which had the mechanical clutch rod to put in my Series 1. The spare gearbox has the hydraulic slave cyl & clutch fork which I'm trying to fit to the 2.25 petrol engine. The hydraulics won't be a problem, but the slave cyl looks...

Hoping for some guidance with a problem with the engine management flagging up the turbo boost lamp and code. I've just replaced the engine and although I took lots of 'photos, I've managed to confuse the vacuum & pressure hoses at the front of the engine. These are the small-bore hoses with the...

Should you be on your way to Spain/Perpignan, I'd be pleased to see any 'Zoners. I've got a small workshop with a smattering of spares & just treated myself to a car trailer for local recovery. Usually have the coffee on, and know some decent 'green lanes'. I've a pile of stuff taken off old...

I've a problem as in, the 3.0 V6 is seized and not sure where or how to undo the flywheel to torque converter bolts? So the crank doesn't turn and be grateful for any help or links.

This is to thank everyone on the Forum for their kind information in trying to solve the limp mode problem on the Td4. This was back in 6/7th Jan. I tried all the less expensive routes - senders, repair looms etc. Put the the Lynx on another Td4 to compare turbo & HP pump pressures and, although...

I've got a D3 on air suspension that sounds as though the right hand front air suspension is 'exhausting' or making a rubbing/graunching noise when taking a left hand bend. The amber 'yaw' light comes on briefly but immediately goes out when straight ahead. The car comes up from access height...

Can anyone point me in the right direction with an engine management light coming on at 1800 rpm and the car going into limp mode. I've changed turbo hoses, fuel rail sender & loom, tightened every pin & connection I can find, checked turbo linkage, vacuum hoses, changed HP pump sender/valve...

Have my 2004 td4 with p1190 constantly causing problems and any pointers would save a hot bath & razor blade! I've been reading most of the faults found and must say that the folks on here are brilliant-just one more glimpse of cleverness and we can fix this. The car revs freely out of gear up...

Hope you can help, my Discovery Td5 changes down with a terrible chunk instead of a smooth change. When I replaced the engine, I had to relax the bellhousing fasteners to allow the flexiplate to line up with the torque converter-could that have caused this fault? Would appreciate any...

After replacing the engine on my Td 5 I found that the flexiplate was very tight against the three torque converter fixing holes. The only way to align the bolt holes was by undoing all the bellhousing bolts a few turns, which relaxed the flexiplate against the torque converter allowing...

Trying to replace all heater plugs in "99 Freelander & no.2 plug is stuck in the cyl head with the top part just turning in the socket! Its the easiest of the four to get to but is there any way of removing without having to take off cyl head for machining etc??:confused: Would appreciate any...

Why do TD5's have such a dislike for humans? Can someone help with a prob? 2002 Disco TD5 had a missfire @ 2800-3000rpm, changed air filt, & fuel filter, purged system, now non-start!!! Tried all sorts, found heater plugs all dead-wait 3 days for new @ 20€ each! Thought prob found, fit plugs...
