Morning all, Finally getting around to a major overhaul of the 110s brakes. New discs, caliper strip, paint, new SS pistons etc. Mine has ABS and I'm not sure how the hub is split from the disc as the pulsar ring covers up the bolts, see pic below. Trying to make sure I have all...

Hi all, Putting my gearbox and transfer box back together after seal replacements and new clutch etc. Spun the transfer box in high and low all seems ok. Now I have the boxes mated together the transfer box seems locked in high or low but not neutral. Diff lock seems to make no...

Morning all, Sorting out an MOT fail leaking steering pump I have noticed that the FPR is leaking again. This will be my third in 105K miles, They are quite expensive and I'm quite tight. Is this the sort of lifespan for this component that I should expect? How long have you had out of...

Morning, I have noticed over the last few years that when towing or driving 'fast' when heavily loaded the temperature reading on my nanocom gradually climbs to the point where the screen goes red and warns me of imminent death and that. The temp guage on the dash remains in the middle...

I have to confess that I really do enjoy reading a good "my engine/gearbox/diff/etc" just exploded thread.:bowl: Is it just me with the morbid fascination? Commiserations to all those suffering......I've had my share:D

Got a Mantec snorkle for Christmas for my TD5 110. I didn't like the look of the standard ducting in the engine bay so I have replaced it with a single length of 80mm id heavy plastic flexi. Should I be thinking out refitting the restrictive leaky dump valve? What have the snorkle owning...

Hi all, Just blew £282.23 on a new power steering pump for me fender. I know, I know e-blag, pads crads etc. But as the original lasted 11 years and 90,000 miles thought I'd go for OEM. £70 of the total is a surcharge to encourage me to return the leaky item. Looking at the bill I have...

Bank holiday project completed, well nearly. The plan was to chop down the read door wheel carrier and bolt it to the bonnet such that the tyre was in contact with the bonnet when bolted down, spreading the load to as large an area as possible. Top tip, sort out your heavy duty bonnet prop...

;) More of a tyre answer really. Missus said she would treat me to a new set of tyres for Christmas. Since I had an advisary for cracked tyres at my last MOT (they were 10 year old 85,000 miles general grabber TRs still with 4mm tread left!) I have now had an early Christmas. One of the posts...

Evening all, Finally got around to replacing the broken plastic seat bases (too many fat scouts :rolleyes:) in the back of my lovely 110. Resisted the temptation to replace with ally chequer plate and instead went for painted ally 3mm plate. As you can tell I'm quite pleased with...

Evening all, I have removed the injectors for inspection as part of my efforts to cure my smoky TD5 110. They are partly covered in crispy black ****e, and although I didn't expect them to come out gleaming I'm not sure if what I've got is normal or terminal. Anyone out there with...

Hello, My 2003 TD5 Deepender is now smoking like a Bastard when idling and pulling away. Had a squint in the intercooler hoses and there is a thin coat of fresh oil and it is beginning to pool at low points. Having searched...I'm thinking turbo oil seals, and thinking just how close I am...
