Hi All, As part of my resurrected build: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/posts/5248373/ I've reached a bit of a stop when trying to move on to the clutch system. The slave cyl was fitted a long time ago when I got to the rolling chassis stage, so I now need to move on to plumbing between master &...

Hi All, firstly, I should say that my requirement is not overlanding... just short holiday stuff. So, I picked up a set of original D1 cross-bars for my Disco - the type with 2 pins at each end. Whilst these look nice and smart, especially when compared to adding another 4 inches of height...

Hi All, Apologies for my absence of late - we've moved house! Anyway, I have this wonderous D1 manual v8, which has only had 1 issue so far - the alternator was on the blink. I happened to have a "spare" 2nd hand 100 amp alternator in the garage which came with my donor engine for the v8...

Hi all, another part number question.... I ordered a new bearmach brake drum for the handbrake, along with new shoes and the spring kit. What I don't seem to have is a new drive flange with my new brake drum. Is the drive flange only held on by the single grub screw? can anyone tell me the...

Hi All, Could anyone please tell me the thread size & pitch of the wheel-arch fuel filter on a D1 V8? Part number is ESR4065M - (M for Mahle). KL158 is the Mahle part number. I need to buy some fuel line adapters to screw into this filter and provide me with a standard 8mm male shaft for the...

Hi All, I'm trying to make sure I've planned the fuel lines out correctly for my v8 defender build. As it's basically a disco 1 / RRC from a fueling PoV, I've been using the D1 parts manual. I've found the following item: ESR4065 - fuel filter The above seems to be a fairly standard in-line...

Hi All, I've been wondering about the Lambda sensor positioning for my rebuilt v8. The loom and ECU is all circa 14CUX 1994 3.9 disco v8. The problem comes with the introduction of a new manifold - I've bought some hedman headers, and obviously they're quite long, and are 4-1 configuration. I...

Hi All, A little review for anyone doing their own self build (or upgrades) and wanting to get some shiny bits from Allisport.... don't bother! I first engaged them (via email) on Feb 19th this year. This is after several failed attempts to get them on the phone. I was told that they were very...

Hi folks, I win top numpty prize... I totally forgot the chassis loom was still inside the chassis when I started cutting up my old 300tdi 110 chassis!!! numpty.... anyway, I want to buy a brand spanking new one, so that I can be the first to butcher it. I have tried autosparks, but I gather...

Hi all. As suggested on a previous thread, I'm going to keep a thread on my progress spraying synthetic coach enamel on my landy project. If any of this goes well, then I'll edit it into a how-to. Today I managed to get my first of coat of paint - acid etch primer - on a proper body panel. I'm...

Hi all, This sodding gearbox is testing my patience now... After weeks of delay for missing parts and supplier delays, I finally came to fit it last night. After working out a method using the engine crane, I managed to get the box lined up, dowels engaged, but can never get closer than a 5mm...

Hi All, I thought I'd lump all 3 of these things into one thread to save everyone's sanity. as part of my 110 rebuild, I need a new bumper, some side step (3 door), and some sort of protection for the rear corners. bumperettes: I've seen a few around and the ones made from 2 tubes seem to be...

Hi All, not sure if this sort of info is generally useful, but I've discovered that the push rod for the slave cyl for a v8 manual R380 box is now no longer made. part number: FTC3913 there's a couple on the shelf somewhere which famousfour managed to get hold of for me (I've ordered 2)...

Not the most exciting title, I grant you, but I've never done this job before and it seems too simple a question to be on the internet.. People mention using "moly grease" or "molybdenum disulphide grease".... so, my question is, where does it go? The inner plastic tube that slides up and down...

Hi All, I can only apologise. I know this is one of those subjects where the info exist in a million forms on the web already, but there's also a whole load of differing opinions, and my god it make tedious reading! I've got my compressor, my 6" DA air sander, some primer, thinners, and top...

I see both of those part numbers listed as the "non-ac" belt for a 3.9 efi engine, but I can't work out what the difference is between them. does anyone know? I confess I don't even know the correct age of the 3.9 donor engine to reference chassis numbers. I do know that the alternator is an...

Hi All, I recently bought that Dinitrol "large car" kit off amazon. It comes with all the bottles, a gun for use with the compressor, and a short length of tube with a brass end. My question it - shouldn't there be some fancy "fan pattern" spray nozzle on the end of this tube to enable the...

I though I should post a note up to say what a good service I just received from Paddocks. I ordered a genuine adwest steering box from them on feb 5th (£390!), and paid for the saturday delivery option. There were a few other things on the order too, and the stuff arrived as expected on the...

Hi all, I have had a look at the non-uk parts catalogue online, and one of the slightly russian ones. The russian one gives quantitities, but the yank one doesn't, and I can't marry the 2 up. for the purposed of this thread, I have a 3.9 v8 efi from a disco, and an r380 box. Does anyone know...

So I came to a final torque up on my rear shocks before finally getting the wheels on the chassis. 75nm according to haynes... Didn't get there before the nut started getting easier to spin. Obviously I'd stripped the nut, but it seems it's so badly stripped that I can't undo it either. It's the...
