Does anybody know if there is a difference between the v8 petrol fuel sender and the diesel 110 sender. My 110 is an 84 model and i can't see an exact listing for it, however the diesel version looks body wise identical ( all metal, coming in from the left side of the tank etc) I need to order...

Is there any rear major differences between the s111 and 110/90 upper rear cab section? I notice the s11 and s111 have another plate that sits under the rear section to extend it passed the seat bulkhead. Is this required on the defender as they appear to look different depths? I guess bolt...

What sought of oil are most you guys running in your older 3.5? Do you run an extra cylinder head lube with the oil? I have been reading that a lot of the current oils seem to be bad for the engine as they don't contain the same zinc levels as they use to. Apparently the zinc use to prevent...

Just a question for those in the know. Why is there an option of a fibre gasket for the valley on the 3.5? are the tin ones prone to leaking? Also has anyone used the Payen gasket seat and know if it comes with valve stem seals? I am currently looking at putting an order in to get these...

Anyone have a home made way of attaching panels that previosly been spot welded on? The item in question is the right rear panel that has these spot welds to join to the tub wheel arch? Do you have to convert to rivets?

I know it sounds a bit like a stupid question but anyway. Anyone know of a supplier out the that sells parts for the front doors on early 90 110 doors. The type with the sliding windows. S111 are different so the parts i am after are not going to work. Trying to track down window lock and even...

Anyone got any advice on how to get the dark coloured corrosion of the surface of the cooper wiring in the vehicles loom. I decided to clean up the loom in the rear of the vehicle but solder will not stick to dirty cooper. I have ended up trimming it back down the wire until i reach the clean...

Anyone know if the 4.6 p38 inlet and plenum manifold is a bolt up to the 3.5 engine? I am rather interested in what options you can use. The engine is a 3.5 carb but currently looking into the options of injecting it and running megasquirt. In the country i live the 3.9 and p38 engines are in...

I thought this would be a good chance to share dodgy repair work you have come across on your Landy. This has come about as i keep finding little surprises all over my 110 as i work on it and come across previous home repairs. Normally you find the issues around wiring that people have hacked...

how do these mount to a 110. It seems a long distance between the rear cross member and the end of the body work for it to be un-supported at the rear. Anybody have a photo of how they are mounted. I am rather keen to build my own. I take it the 110 van chassis no different to the 5 door version.

Was looking at some videos lately of the earthquake we had here in NZ at the start of the year. All the cameras seem focused around the disco. Interesting to see how much it moves in the earthquake. New CCTV Footage Of Christchurch Earthquake - YouTube

The roof on my 110 is made out of fiberglass and has a number of cracks in the gel-coat. I am about to start tidying it up so i can paint it. I only have limited knowledge with fiberglass. What is required to be done to prevent the paint from cracking. Do you have to sand the cracks down to the...

Where do most of you start when refitting your panels onto the chassis? do you start with rear tub then firewall. What do you use to aid in getting all panels to line up with nice small panel gaps between the doors. Now that my vehicle is going back together starting to notice things like the...

I have the seat base and floor out of my 110 at the moment and just trying to resolve some oil leaks. It currently has a major oil leak from the gear selector seal. The one that currently is on there is made of a felt like substance and had enough play you could lift the gear lever up maybe 3mm...

Might be a nice idea to see items owners have made on here for their Land Rover rather than the off the shelf bought items. There been some photos of nice cubby boxes and the like in different posts, why not bring them all together to give other members some ideas ie: the new bull bar you...

We use this at work a lot for servicing other makes outside ours. It maybe of some of the people always wondering what oil to use in their vehicles. Covers all oils from engine to power steer. Castrol Australia - NetLube

Does anybody know the best way to paints the spats so the paint does not crack. I am spraying with basecoat clear coat PPG paint and almost at the point of painting these items. With the spats being made of flexi material i don't want to paint them only to find the paint cracks as soon as they...

I was wondering if the seat box bulkhead and window section from a series 3 would be a straight bolt up to a 110. I am thinking of converting mine from a wagon to a ute/pick up. Parts for defenders here are like hens teeth however there are many parts around for series land Rover.

I thought I would do a photo log on my 110 rebuild. A little about the vehicle, it is a 1984 LR 110 v8 3.5 South Africa built vehicle, so has some small differences it from the UK built (not major though) I purchased it the week before Easter and spent the weekend getting back driving a real...
