Hi all. It's been a while, finished my Africa trip and imported my 300tdi 110 into Canada. For some reason it didn't occur to me to change the coolant until this morning, and I went out to find it frozen. There was coolant (frozen) that had expanded out of the upper rad hose and some...

Hello all. Sorry I've not been active for a while, I was on the road. I just finished up my year long trek through Africa, and now have the daunting task of trying to import the car into Canada. :) I got my landy through customs OK (after $3000 for 'decontamination' on a clean car, letters...

Hi, Its been a while since I posted, but i need some advice. I was heading to the Ceuta ferry when my power steering died. The fluid was on the low side so i topped it up, but no help... i think the pump is gone. symptoms: hard to steer, especially when going slow. happend...

I'm wanting to go on a 2-3 week expedition to Morocco around May 2011. The group I was hoping to go with has fallen through, and I'd rather not pay for a company tour, and internet searches didn't come up with anything promising, so now I'm going to start posting on various forums looking for...

Hi all, I started thinking about how there should really be a wiki somewhere, with a lot of the great information from sites such as this organized with common questions answered, basic information, part #'s, how-to guides (or links to them). I figured it would exist, but after a quick...

I was under the car today trying (and failing) to get a few things done and noticed the upper part of the passenger side rear spring wasn't in it's seat, but bent towards (but thank god not touching!) the tyre. Here is a few from above. From what I've read, I should just be able to jack up...

... finally! Been driving without a front propshaft for a couple weeks now. :( Was quite surprised to see it came with the UJ's already fitted, I'd ordered two with it and thought I had to assemble it myself! Was kind of looking forward to it, actually. No worries, some spare UJ's will come...

That was the sound my front propshaft just made on my way home from work today as the universal joint attaching it to the front diff failed and it flew around under the car hitting stuff. I’m actually pretty happy (if kinda greasy) right now. A few reasons: I had been wondering if “that...

Hi all, I have a 300tdi 110, and after reading the many past threads here, I still cannot get my bloody fan off. I have the wrench to grip the nut, and I know I'm trying to undo it in the correct direction (standing in front of the car facing the engine, moving the wrench clockwise, the top...

Hi all, Living in Belgium, I'm having a hard time sourcing some things locally. On Friday morning I will be driving from Dover to pick up an ebay'd Engels fridge on in London (Abbey Wood) then continuing up to Hull for around 6-7pm. I was hoping I could stop in to 1-2 places and pick up the...

Hi, I was trying to replace a front wheel bearing today, and got stuck embarassingly soon. I couldn't figure out which bolts I had to remove to get the damn things off! My guess was the top two bolts where the brake line is secured, the same ones buster is showing in the fourth picture...

I went under my 110 this afternoon to replace the steering damper, and froze when I saw this.... Being new, I got really worried, did some searches, and then figured out it was the wading plug and so it's not that I've been driving with an dry gearbox.... that was a relief. My question...

Hi, My apologies for such a total newb question... but I'm still new to this. :) Somebody pointed at my axel hubs and said that they'd been upgraded, can solmebody tell me what it is they saw and what the upgrade was? Now to write another post for another stupid question... - Andrew

Heading to the Bush Mechanics course on May 22nd. I'll be driving from Brugge via the Calais->Dover ferry then up to York on Friday the 21st, might be trying to find some green-laning (never done it before!) on the 23rd, and then back on the 24th. Since I'm not sure what I'm up to on the...

Not totally sure if this is allowed (posting about other sites) but I just saw some interesting pics of landy's having a hard time on another site... this one just made my shudder: More pics at Lessons Learnt with Land Rovers (the hard way) ! if you're interested. - Andrew

Hi all, The reason I bought a landy (and so joined this fine site) is because I'm heading down to Africa for a year or so starting around november 2011. I'm still looking for a travel buddy, and would also be interesting in hearing about anybody heading down during the same time...

Hi, '97 Defender 110 300tdi - I tried to find the engine number and think I found it but it starts with 25L (or maybe 2SL) but it doesn't seem to match any of the codes I've seen on the web. Does that number make sense? - Andrew

Hi, I've been reading here and saw many references to opening the doors with a coin, etc... but only tried it myself the other day the first time and dammit... it works. It seems every single key on my key-ring opens that dammed door. On my drivers side door anyway. I asked somebody else...

Hi, I'm new to Land Rover's and have noticed something, and I'm trying to decide if I need to be worried or not. When I'm travelling at highway speeds, in the 100-120km/hr range, there is a very lound vibration/humming kind of sound with a period of around 1 hz. Is this a normal kind of...
