Hi, I have a 110 which came with mostly G90 7.5 x 16's fitted to standard steel rims (not Wolf type). They are older and cracking on the side walls although with plenty of tread. Today I found one of the fronts was completely flat (I'm in between homes right now and it's stored about half an...

I had my 110 MOT'd last week and they noticed the passenger footwell panel above the outrigger has corroded through. I wasn't aware that they were double skinned as the footwells from inside are fine. When I was looking to buy my Landy I saw quite a few that had rusted footwells (from inside)...

Hi, I bought a couple of 'new' Wolf door tops for my 110 and as I had a free evening thought I'd pop them on. I had already squirted penetrating oil on the old studs a number of times and two nuts came off but two snapped. No problem I have good ones on the new tops. Drivers side went on fine...

This is real. A Lego model of the new Defender has been posted up on the Smyths Toys website - not yet in stock anywhere...... Someone is going to be in a lot of trouble on Monday morning...

Hi, A while ago I found a site/list of lots of green laning events around the country but can I find it now?........ I might take the Landy down to my sister's at Xmas (near Guildford) and wondered if there were any events happening on Boxing Day? Just a thought for a run out to clear the heads.

Hi, My ex RAF 110 has the 'slab' type seats (the separate backs and seats) and apart from one of the backs they're a bit tired looking. I found some cheap backs on ebay and have ordered a pair. I can get new bases from Exmoor trim but there's two types, 'adjustable' and normal. Does the...

Hi, As a recent Landy owner I think it could be helpful to learn some basic welding techniques for down the line when I try to tackle some minor repairs to door frames or the bulkhead. I must admit I'm pretty clueless about whether MIG or TIG 'best' to learn or how to go about it. I've done...

Hi, my 110 is a FFR spec but the 24v electrics have been removed. It has the oil cooler fitted which I understand was only fitted to the FFR to help with cooling when the vehicle would be stationary for long periods of time with the engine running to power to comms kit. Is it possible to remove...

Hi all, Buying my first Landy, a 110. I’ve spent about a year on n off looking! The one I’m buying is MOT’d and all solid apart from crusty corners on the bulkhead (small rust holes). The seller can sort this for me fitting the repair panels for £500 which sounds reasonable, or I could live...

Seen this one on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ex-MOD-110-Land-Rover-1986/222700141378?hash=item33d9f67b42:g:P6EAAOSwonBZ-EPN Bit concerned about the crankcase pressure issue, also the wiring sounds an odd problem. Any advice welcome.

I've been to see a 110 Defender n/a diesel. New MOT with no advisories. Bodywork was fairly straight with a few dings - crossmember bent in a little from a ding at the back. Also a small split in one of the lower side panels, about 3 inches. Seller said it was running a bit hot and he's about...

Hi, I've been keeping an eye out for a Landy 109 or 110 ideally ex military and also ideally petrol engined as I live in S London. I've seen one recently which is a 110 fitted with hard top which has side windows. In the LEZ checker it comes up as exempt from the charge and having checked...

As above, does anyone know of a good mechanic/repair shop for Landy's in the Chichester area? Ideally an independent/sole trader type of place which I much prefer to the franchised dealers. Thanks

It's really hard to find a half decent Landy it seems to me! This one (way over my budget but anyway) is said to be a 'solid car in good order' but look at that bulkhead...

Hi all, I viewed another Landy today and am tempted but there are some issues and wondered if I could get some feedback/advice from knowledgeable owners. It's a 110 2.5 petrol hard top. Perfect for me (no LEZ issues). It's got an MOT but the owner bought it a few months ago and says he's...

Hi, I went to look at an ex Army 110 which I was very interested in, until I checked the TFL website and found that it would not meet the low emission zone exemption criteria. I checked some other random ex Army models (just looked some up on various websites and input the reg numbers) and...

Hi, I'm going to look at this Landy tomorrow hopefully. It's a S3 fitted at some point with a Daihatsu 2.8 Diesel (not sure at the moment if its the normal or turbo engine). I've had advice from some not to touch it with a bargepole (because of the engine) and someone else has said the...

I know there's probably much info I need on here if i spend time searching and reading through old threads, but I'm really pushed for time this week and I have a chance to view a Series lll LWB station wagon next weekend and would really appreciate any key pointers/advice for someone who's...

Hi, Just joined the forum, I've had a quick look and search but thought I'd ask for advice as well. I don't know very much at all about Land Rovers, all the variants and engines etc. I've always fancied buying an ex army soft top one as a second car and summer convertible! Not bothered if...
