Hi Guys, At least the clocks changed before my sudden lighting challenge. '98 300tdi 110. Both sides the same. Ignition off: Full beam flash works Ignition on: Side lights don't work Dipped doesn't work Full beam doesn't work Full beam flash works Fuses all appear...

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has fitted any rear facing bench seats to the back of a defender 110 (utility in my case). Not side facing!! I can find plenty of double bench seats removed from van conversions that would do the job but most have leg designs that are too much to modify. I'd...

Hi guys, I'm sure I've moaned about it but couldn't find the thread.. so I'll start another thread to moan on. 110 with salisbury axle and the diff is not making healthy noises, nothing unusual there but it's beginning to get to me - at least enough to start another thread. I can't find...

Hi There, So it's definitely a bike but it's my brothers and not really mine to sell. I've just serviced it for him and know he'd prefer to get a gravel bike so I'm wondering if it would be worth more to anyone on here who wants another G4 challenge item rather than him trying to flog it by...

Hi all, anyone had success fitting one of these type things: I've just lost perhaps 3 liters of oil while picking up the shopping. Tesco's probably weren't best pleased with the mess I made, oops. Engine bay is rust proofed again for a while. I'll have to take a look at the weekend to find...

Hey guys, Has anyone tried putting the 3rd row bench seat out of a Caddy maxi into the back of a defender? (e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Caddy-Maxi-Rear-Seats-3rd-Row-Double-Bench-Seat-New-condition/283956674220?hash=item421d22feac:g:kcIAAOSwRl1eMVmA) I can't find any dimensions of the...

A few posts to follow with how over the last couple of weeks I've spent all the fuel money I've not used on too many wrong sized bits of kit and how I eventually got everything connected.

The local roads have started to take their toll on my front steering components after refurbishing the hubs, wheel bearings etc 5 1/2 years ago. Passengers wheel has a very slight feel of movement top to bottom. Drivers side definitely top/bottom rock to it. Side to side everything is fine...

Hi Gents, I thought it may be useful to post a couple of photo's and comments of me replacing the original turbo on my defender 300tdi with a VNT turbo. Getting the inlet manifold off wasn't too much of a problem. The turbo etc was a bit more tricky as the nuts connecting the exhaust were...

HI Guys, I'm looking to swap my salisbury axle for something I can get an ATB diff into. Anyone tried the Britpart axles: https://www.britpart.com/all-parts/da1707 I'm always wary of "HD" "Extreme" "Strong" descriptions. Is this birtpart one actually going to be tougher than a reinforced...

HI Guys, Hopefully an easy one for you all. LT230 transfer box, all nice and shiny from Ashcrofts 5 months back. I can get it lock but it means me getting underneath and assisting it moving over with a bit of wood. It looks to me like the linkage is worn maybe as it doesn't change position...

Hi Guys, My lovely shiny roll cage is getting in the way of installing my original snorkel. Not only do snorkels look cool and will give me a nice place to route my light bar wires back into the car I also hear they can occasionally stop water getting in the engine. Since the usual side mount...

Hi guys, Before I started to pester the likes of Allisport or Motor&Diesel I wanted to get some opinions on if I'm even allowed to upgrade my intercooler now. The chap I get my MOT with was right fussy about my EGR at least looking like it was plugged in and working correctly. My understanding...

HI Guys, As I've had the last set of TOYO open country ATs on my 110 for the last 9 years it's finally time to get some new replacements. Wheels are looking a bit dodgy so I'm thinking of getting a package deal again. 90% of my driving is on road but I still want to look forward to getting off...

Hi folks, So eventually I'm going to have to stop stalling and refit the dash to my 300tdi 110. I've got a raptor dash all lined up with radio, a bunch of switches for extra lights, and USB sockets. I've also got some holes ready to be filled with dials once I get other extras fitted. So far...

A new unidentified knocking on my 110. This time somewhere in the rear drive train. Fast moving no problem. Under power, no problem. Slow moving in traffic then quite a loud thudding. It's easier to make it happen if driving with the clutch down going slowly. I've only just had an MOT and...

Hi all, So my 110 failed its MOT (one of the reasons) because the tester wasn't happy with the beam pattern from my LED headlights - yes they are E marked etc.... The dipped does give a huge blob of white light to the center of the road and there should probably be a more significant difference...

Hi folks, A couple of weekends ago I fitted a full size intercooler and boost pin. All went well, power is up, bit more smoke than I'd like and I'm yet to see the fuel economy but so far so good. This weekend I put in a couple of hundred miles (including dropping in on the LRO show and...

Hi, I'm intending to get a roll cage with the distant dream of persuading the wife to be interested in some driving adventures. I've downloaded the ARC and MSA blue book and had a good read - yes something to this spec would be completely over the top but having looked at how the likes of...

Hi, Just upgrading the lights to LED. main lights fine. drivers side fine. Rear indicator and brake lights not so fine. Eventually worked out that the polarity is wrong. indicator was an easy fix as i just swapped the two wires around at the connector end. The brake light is a bit more messy...
