Ok I have a 300 TDI 110 ute, really cant cope with the asthmatic performance anymore. So 3 main options are: 1 - Fit a upgraded intercooler & turbo / fueling tweak. Obviously the cheapest option.. how much difference does it really make? 2 - Fit a TD5. I used to own a TD5 110 station...

Hi guys Im sitting around at the moment with a broken heel, so consequently have a lot of time to think! Anyway what with all the spate of LR thefts in the UK, I have a possible idea for a cheap DIY vehicle tracker. I live in Australia nowadays so LR thefts isnt really anything of a concern...

Iv been hanging around some Norwegian girls recently ;), and they made me watch this film, The Troll Hunter. I slept through a fair part of it so can't comment on whether it is actually any good, but its worth watching simply for the awesome Defender that has a starring role!! Check it out...

Hi, I'm watching on ebay a TD5 130, looks cheap however it has done 290 000km (180 000 miles). I was just wondering what is considered to be a high mileage for these engines? I know a TDI is meant to be good for at least 250 000 miles... not so sure about TD5s though? LANDROVER DEFENDER 130...

hi, so coupled with the problem described in this thread here http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/90-rrc-power-steering-problem-117901.html I now have had a look underneath and a think about my range rover. and i noticed 1 - an oil leak out the back of the front diff where it meets the prop...

Hi people, My steering has been getting intermittently heavier for at least a couple of months now, sometimes it feels heavy in a bend then il yank the steering wheel a bit and it sort of 'frees up' if you know what I mean. Anyway as of yesterday it has got permanently heavy. Plenty of...

As above. When I come home to the UK from Oz, Il be looking to buy another V8 to rebuild and put into my 110. The engine in that is ok, but perhaps a little tired. So which is the best, I guess a 3.5 on carbs is the most reliable, and obv being a straight swap would be the easiest to fit...

Hi guys, already posted this in general chat but I figured it is more suited to this section. 6 - 8 week trip Melb - Perth, up the West Coast - Darwin & back! - Melbourne travel partners - Gumtree Melbourne Free Classifieds Planning the trip above, probably for two months. Its not set in...

ok I realise this is a bit sad.. but Im bored (plus i think I might win!) So work out how many landies you have had.. 100 points for past 200 points for current. So in my case, 3 past (1989 disco, 1991 disco, 1995 disco) and 3 present (1987 90, 1988 110, 1990 range rover) comes to 900. Divide...

Hi all, This afternoon I fitted a secondary battery to my Classic. Well I bought it and put it in, opp where the main battery lives. This involved moving some little round vacuum resevoir thing (not sure what this is for?), taking the "trumpet" of the front of the air filter, so it is just...

Hi, as some of you may have seen I bought a classic a month or so ago. it had four inch speakers in the front doors, and also in the headlining above the boot. All of which were blown! The rear speakers were an easy fix, I bought some replacement ( I think 6.5 inch) speakers, cut the hole a...

Hi everyone, picked the new rangie up today. Seems to run ok and everything, main issues I noticed are: gearbox seems a bit noisey when pulling off, theres a few funny noises but seems better when at cruising speed. Is there anything I can do about this ? Or is it just general wear? We did a...

Apparantly the RRC, or at least some of them, have got a viscous coupling instead of a manually locking centre diff. How reliable is this, and how well does it match up off road to a manual diff lock? The on I am getting has this set up, along with a 4 speed autobox. Do they tend to have any...

When I click on my profile and then about me, it has a little label next to each box of info to edit it. Except for the signature. So how do I change it? Need to add my 110 to it! Ps going to the Melbourne F1 GP tomorrow, well excited!

Hi, went and looked at this today, LAND ROVER DISCOVERY V8i (4x4) - Trading Post all in all looked quite tidy, has had a lift put on it which made it a bit top heavy to drive but not too bad. has 310 000 km on the clock, which seems like a lot to me , is this a lot for a v8 engine and auto...

Hi Everyone, I moved to Australia back in December, only temporary really on a working holiday visa so I might be here for a year or two. Possibly longer if I like it and emigrate but that is too far away to think about! So I went up the east coast from Sydney to Cairns.. from Sydney to...
