    90 or 110

    Intersting question - I've got a 110 and what I'd really like is a Disco and a 90. Two phrases spring to mind, one to do with being a 'Jack of all trades' and the other has something to do with eggs and baskets...

    For Export Only

    I too have been wondering this as one of said adverts is advertising delivery mileage RHD TD4 Freelander 2 for £18,000. This would contradict the thoughts about being over 25 years old... Was going to telephone company concerned as the wife quite fancies one, but haven't got round to it yet...

    Tyre Choice

    There seems to be lost of good reports on the General Grabber AT2's, but has any body tried the New AT's. Am getting a new set for my 110 H/T and am unsure of which to get? Anybody got any thoughts having tried or experienced both? Thanks, Tony

    110 re-chassis project

    Unfortunately it's resembling a patchwork quilt somewhat. It's only a 1994 but spent some years before I got it in service on the salt flats in Liverpool, and has therefore suffered prematurely with rust - The work I've done got it through the MOT with only an advisory for cracks in the tyres...

    110 re-chassis project

    Ideal, thank you for your advice. Like so many things Land Rover I guess it comes down to the old addage - You get what you pay for... I'll have a look at Marsland and compare to Richards. There's not alot in the price and if Marsland was good enough for Fred Dibnah then it's....

    110 re-chassis project

    Over the past eighteen months I have rebuilt first one end and then the other end of my 110 Hard Top Defender 300Tdi. I'm kind of wishing I'd have bitten the bullet at the beginning and invested in a galvanised chassis - but my hind sight, as most peoples is excellent... I was planning to buy...

    How reliable/unreliable has your defender been?

    mechanical = fantastic. electrical = problematic... left it sat in the garden for three years, put the key in the ignition one day, turned key and landy started straight away - but none of the lights worked. Spent some time tidying things up and passed MOT no advisories. best vehicle I ever...

    Defender with overdrive

    The crunch between 1st and 2nd is likely the syncromesh. My 300Tdi Defender has been doing it since I got it twelve years age (46k miles at the time). It's now done just on 100k miles. The reason mine went early I believe is because it had been used as a parks ranger vehicle and had obviously...

    Electric Fan

    Thank you all very much for your comments. As soon as the rain stops I'll get myself out there with a tape measure. I'm working the weekend, so a job for Monday - unless the weekend is quiet in which case ebay may bekon...

    Electric Fan

    I am currently using my 300Tdi 110 H/T as a daily driver. No offroading and no towing - not what it was bought for but sometimes needs must... I am considering an electric fan, allowing the engine to heat up faster, the screen blower to be a bit more effective and hopefully reduce the fuel...

    Swivel seal leaking

    Surely fix the problem, and then use the one shot grease = long term answer and saves wasting a pack of one shot grease when you have to re-fill it after the first lot has leaked all over your drive and then you've had to replace the seal anyway... from memory when I replaced my seals a couple...

    "Like-for-like"

    Phone um up and ask if you can borrow a land rover to drag it out of the field - tell um it up to it's axle's in **** with a horse box on the back... incidentally, if the accident wasn't your fault why not hire a land rover and send the invoice to the third parties insurance company.

    Galvanised chassis

    You are best off painting it, but you need to consider your primer... there are a number of different kinds and the type that etches itself into the metal is reckoned to be good. I recently read an article about it which was really good but can't remember where - it was either on here on the...

    brake discs

    I had hoped that would be the reply, thank you for the information. It's just annoying that I've been charged more for the rears than the fronts and they're exactly the same... still, not a mistake I'll make again.

    brake discs

    I have a 1994 'L' 300Tdi 110 Defender. I am currently in the process of overhauling the brakes amongst other things. I ordered replacement discs, two front and two rear. I received four fronts (was charged for what I ordered...). I queried this with the supplier and they told me that the...

    215k on a Defender 300tdi 90

    It's a defender - milage is largely irrelevant. I once looked at an ex-coastguard 90 with only 38k on the clock. needless to say it needed a new chassis as it had spent it's life in and out of the sea. If it's a well cared for 90 with 215k on the clock then it may be that the only part that...

    Disc Mud Shields

    If they are so far gone, why would you want to run without them? For the sake of a few quid each all that **** that has rotted them would have ended up in your breaks... I have just baoght a set for my 1994 300 Tdi 110; part numbers were: FNS = LR017961 FOS = LR017960 Sorry about delay...
