    Yellow knob

    Series III 109 1984 ex-military. The yellow knob to engage 4wd in high range doesn't seem to work. I'm hoping it's something very simple, if I can get at it when the weather's a bit more clement. I have a big garage/workshop but the door lintel is only just about 6 foot, so I can't get the car...

    What colour should a 5-bearing petrol engine be?

    I have a cracking 1984 ex-military 109 canvas top which someone retro-fitted with a 3-bearing diesel. I am changing the old lady back to petrol and have found a correct 5-bearing engine in apparently (fingers crossed!) good condition. Going to get it converted to unleaded and while we're at it I...

    Engine from Carlisle to Wrexham

    I have just bought a two and a quarter, five bearing petrol engine for my 1984 109". My wife is not well enough to be left while I fetch it, so is anyone going that way, please?

    Series 3 fuel gauge

    1984 ex-army 109 canvas top. The fuel gauge reads full on both tanks as soon as the ignition is turned on. I was advised to get new fuel tank sender units but that made no difference. So I had the senders checked and they work okay according to the electrical resistance thingy they tested them...

    Series 3 Anyone know of a good petrol engine, please?

    I have been very lucky to buy a 1984 ex-military 109 in first class condition, including fully working convoy lights. It began life with a 2.25 5-bearing petrol engine, of course, and I would like to return it to original, if anyone knows where I might find a suitable engine. The 2.25 5-bearing...

    P38 rear light clusters

    My 2001 P38 4.0 V8 HSE keeps insisting that either the indicator bulb or the brake light bulb has failed in one or other of the rear light clusters. The bulbs are fine and if I pull off the connector and clean it all up, it usually works again. For an hour or two, or even a day or two. Anyone...

    Is supermarket diesel really cheaper?l

    Having heard rumours about the quality of supermarket diesel I conducted some tests with my 1997 Discovery 300 Tdi by driving around 1000 miles on each of Shell V-Power , Shell and Esso bog-standard diesel and supermarket stuff from Sainsbury and Tesco. Results were as follows:- V-Power cost...

    ES 300 Tdi front seat removal

    I know all you guys out there can rebuild a Disco with your eyes shut and one hand behind your back, so please bear with an old fart who has just bought his first metric spanners and fancies a bit of tinkering in retirement. I need to remove the driver's seat for rebuilding. I have found a local...

    Early 110 Hi Cap

    There is one for sale. It is Y-reg, so presumably from the first month of production. I have known the vehicle for about ten years and driven it a few times but when it got too expensive - for the 'careful' owner! - to repair, it was just parked up behind the workshop here on the Estate and a...
