Symptom: When I change down (say from 4th to 3rd) and the engine is still revving high, I notice a grinding noise coming from somewhere in the tunnel beneath the gear stick, and it's getting worse. It sounds like a piece of metal spinning and grinding on something. Tonight, I just made it home...

Partner left me, so selling business and off travelling. All details can be found here: Land Rover Defender 110, Hardtop - Home

My 1kg dry powder fire extinguisher has been unmounted and bouncing around like a time bomb in the 110 for over 6 months now, so I'm finally gonna secure the fecker. Just spend 10 minutes trying to decide where to mount it, float positioning and tilting head like a royal gaylanding artist at a...

Does anyone know which way round the copper washer for the coolant drain plug on the engine block goes? As per usual, the Haynes manual doesn't specify. I can provide a pic if need be. Thanks

Told my local mechanic recently that my 110 200Tdi (1992) tends to push out some black smoke from the exhaust when accelerating after changing gear or going uphill. He said that this is just normal Landy behaviour, but I wanted to be sure. Does anyone else experience this with their Landy of a...

Anyone happen to know the part number for the door barrels plastic retaining sleeve, as seen here (No. 7)?

About to tackle a complete drain and flush of the coolant system on my 200Tdi, but am a little worried about something. Does anyone know if the drain plug (on the right hand side of the engine) has a washer or not? If so, does anyone have the part number handy? Thanks and apologies for the...

In the process of transforming the back of my old 110 to a utility/camper, and am about to start of the storage drawers above the arches. Many different ways of approaching this, but am keen to see other owners attempts. As they say, a pic is worth a thousand words, so if anyone has some pics...

The safari door on my 110 is now refurbished (lock barrel replaced, window refitted and sealed to prevent leaks, wiper and washer fault diagnosed and repaired, striker adjusted, metal treated, etc) but the door keeps swinging shut in the wind or the Landy is tilting the wrong way, which is made...

To top up the coolant, should I use: anti-freeze diluted with water just water something else Now going to the mirror to call myself a **** before anyone else does.

My local mechanic showed me the new LED lights he'd installed in his amazingly customised 90 the other day. I asked if he'd run new wiring with an inline fuse from the main battery to power the lights, but he said that there was a permanent 12V supply (without the ignition being on) going to the...

Looking for rear/safari door vinyl card/cover with plastic trims for my Landy 110, 200Tdi 1992, just like this: Will pay handsomely.

Hi all, Landy: 110, 200Tdi, 1992 Spent 6 hours yesterday taking apart, de-seizing, greasing and reassembling my rear wiper motor yesterday. Before installation I tested the motor on a separate 12V battery and it worked fine (to my surprise), but when I installed it back onto the rear door and...

Have just removed the rear window on my 110, cleaned and painted the window metal, and am about to refit the window with a new rubber seal. The seal has no adhesive, so how would you neatly secure it in place? Thanks

Just got the Landy back from the garage, along with the bill. Labour: £150 Parts: £185.45 Sub total: £335.45 20% VAT: £67.09 Total: £402.54 Should I really be paying the VAT on parts ordered? I assume the garage already pays VAT, which is included in my parts cost, so why am I being charged...

Having trouble finding any suppliers that stock a replacement spring latch for a winch hook. Any ideas, y'all?

There's plenty of products on the market, so I was wondering what specific make and model anyone here had successfully fitted to their rear door? For example: Stoplock HG 199-00 Stoplock Van Lock | eBay

I'm about to begin constructing two custom storage units that'll sit on top of each wheel arch in the back of my 110. Only problem is, I'm not sure how to create the templates for the contours of the each tub side (starting from the flat of the wheel arch, travelling up to the hard top slit...

I know about changing the oil and filters as part of general maintenance, but I've never owned a vehicle that required greasing via those lovely protruding nipples before. Plus, there may be other Landy things to routinely check that I'm not yet aware of. So, does anyone know of a decent...

The brake lights on my Landy work fine, but my trailer brake lights don't light at all (the tail lights on the trailer are OK though). The trailer and spare trailer board I'm using for testing work perfectly, so I reckon the problem must be between the trailer socket on the cross member and the...
