Cheers Brian, I'll check them out. I only ask as even the most basic electrical problems have me vexed, so a little understanding of the whats and whys would be beneficial. It's all very well having a meter, but I wouldn't really know how to use it or what to do with the info it gave me and I...

Right, my 90 has been sitting on my drive out of action for over two years - mainly due to complacency on my part. By 'mainly' read 'totally'.... Anyway, the problem was the transfer box which I've recently had repaired and refitted. My Optima batteries were gubbed having sat for so long, so I...

Of the many things that it has become apparent that I lack knowledge in when attempting to fix my 90, car electrics is one of the biggees. :confused: I bought this 90 with a Supawinch fitted, more lights than a particularly well-lit Christmas tree and a split charging system. There are cables...

Pardon the stupidity, but what do you mean by 'generic' charger?

This is maybe not the right place to post this as it's generic issue, but since it's on a 90, here goes! I'm getting closer to getting said 90 back on the road. It has a split charging system (that baffles me) and after charging up both the red and yellow top with a Clarke CC120 charger, the...

I have finally been able to fanangle the lt230 transfer box onto the captive bolt, but it's been so long since I had it off (ooh err) that I can't remember where the short bolt goes. I currently have it as the lowest one near the gearbox drain plug, but am not sure if it should be in the little...

Ok, I managed to get the bugger out by myself, but am having a bit of an issue getting the damn thing back in. In the interrim, it went off to a local transmissions specialist and at present, I have it hoisted to within an inch or two of locating on the captive bolt. But for reasons I'm hoping...

A while back, I had bit of bother with my 90 who is still, sadly parked on the drive, but after the worlds worst/best act of procrastination, I once again have oil on my hands. The problem was, I think, related to either the transfer or main gear box - LT77/LT230. After hearing a quick 'brrrr'...

Hi guys, A while back whilst driving along, there was a short 2-3 second 'brrr' from down below and at the time, the car drove ok but I noticed the hi/lo lever was slack. It engaged, but whilst engaged, was free to move back and forth. The main gearbox selected ok. Then, a bit later, as I came...

After a joyous day off-roading with the missus, I was removing the copious amounts of grass and weeds and mud from the various sticky-out parts underneath when I noticed that the innocent little hole in the front outrigger was not so innocent anymore, the hole having extended now as far as...

Thanks sypher, I had another gander and all my linkages are present and correct and doing what they are supposed to. As I mentioned, the gears - both high and low, do engage, again with the usual 'clunk' and the car appears to drive fine in both, it's just that the lever is not retained in...

Hi everyone! Haven't been around for a bit, but got meself a new baby (of the Green Oval variety) and am looking forward to getting back into it (or under as is often the case!) Anyway, recently I was driving along and heard a 1 - 2 second 'brrrrr' from the transmission and noticed the...

Never was or will be! The guy who I bought it from was and still is! Besides, I couldn't fit 'Daniel O'Donnell' on it anyway. ;)

This is, or rather was mine. I say was as she is now all green and that bloody AC/DC thing is vamoosh! She used to be a soft top, hence the self coloured h/t, but you can get a general feel for the paint scheme. Hope this helps!

Hello all and welcome to yet another 'damn newbie/blatantly obvious ' question.... After my first off-roading experience yesterday, I noticed this morning a trickle of brown fluid coming from the rear hub's dust cap which had been dislodged slightly. Enough to leave a small puddle on the road -...

She's a 12V. Nice and simple.... like me! I see you're a member of EMLRA (as was the chappy I pried her away from), know where I can get my hands on the army-type wing-top raised air intake pipe? I just bought a snorkel (supposedly for a n/a !) and it has a side entry connection, so I'm gonna...

Thank your lucky stars it was way in the back! I just bought an ex-army 110 from a very nice man in Birmingham and had to drive it all the way up to Fife. Now I'm from Scotland, so I know rain, but the shower we passed through on that long journey home was almost like a driving underwater! Of...

Hi there. My name's Gary and I live in Tayport in Fife, which is basically a suburb of Dundee. I just bought my first Land Rover, a 1985 ex-mod 110 h/t that brings a big cheesy smile to my face everytime I drive it and/or just look at it. I'm trying to de-militarise it a little in that I...
