1996 110 Defender 300Tdi. 167k miles. In use 7 days a week. Any thoughts on this? The coolant kept needing topped up roughly about every 3 weeks, but I couldn't find a leak. Added some leak sealer in the end as simply could not discover where it was leaking from (based on the logic that when...

Saw this today near my house. Apparently he had his wife, 2 children and 2 dogs in it and attempted to cross the ford in full flood (it's actually gone down a bit now). Had to be rescued by Fire brigade (see HERE for full story and video showing the rescue ) eventually. From the bank you can see...

I wonder what people think is the best approach to take here. Having done an engine swap and been off road for a while, I took my 110 to be MOT'd at one of the big tyre and exhaust group type places (which I normaly avoid, but needed it done today) - I knew there were some things needed doing...

Anyone used these people? I placed an enquiry for a part at one website (which name I forget, but it was not that one) then got a call from a foreign accented gentleman who said if I could get the part number and enter it on that site, I'd get the price. He said it was in the UK, but I'm pretty...

Rang for my renewel with Sureterm today, only to be told they don't do old landrovers anymore! - Well, the guy told me that they cannot get any company to insure them any more out of the 40 plus they use! He says this was due to having lots of claims last year! Now mine is 25 years old and in my...

Land Rover / Rover CEO gives his view on the future of the company through the recession (still the biggest seller in Russia and Brazil apparently) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7808926.stm Mind you, he avoids explaining this ! :D...

Seen today on eBay: Land Rover Scented Candle on eBay, also, Land Rover, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 23-Jan-09 11:34:08 GMT) ... I think they've kind of missed the point. Anyway, if its a landy scented candle then presumably it smells of oil, diesel, a strange burning smell...

Has anyone had a go at the Wii Landrover game? I've laid heavy hints with my family for Christmas (along the lines of "I'd like that as one of my Christmas presents" - so subtle you know?) after spotting it in Woolies. It says it comes with several Land Rover and (snigger) Ford off-road...

1984 110 2.5 n/a engine. A few weeks ago my landy started cutting out. You would have to wait a few minutes then you could start again, go another 1/2 - 3 miles then cut out again... and so on. Trying to get back home, nothing obvious, drained water off etc, changed fuel filter, bled...

The last few times I've used a nearby ford (which is nicely sited to allow you to miss out the rush hour traffic if you've got a proper 4x4 ). However, I've noticed that from about halfway across the steering suddenly becomes very stiff, and this continues after going up the opposite bank for a...

I am thinking about taking advantage of an offer I've seen for a compressor and basic air tools kit. Question is, what CFM should I be looking for? I'm not going to want it for spray painting as I don't have a garage,(nor am I that fussed about my paint work!) But, I'd like to use it for tyre...

The tyres on my "new" 110 say: " 7.50-16 LT 8 P.R " - this matches no size format I've come across before. Is this 750 R16 in normal speak ? If so, what is 750 as opposed to say 205/235/265 etc - I mean, theres a huge difference from those figures to 750,.... or is one metric & the other...

Hello, just to introduce myself to the forum. I've come back to Land Rovers after a break of about 15 years, having always promised myself another one. I used to have a series IIA (2.25 diesel) which I used for off-roading - great fun! Taught me all about welding! This time I have an A reg...
