Hi, Set off to go mountain biking this morning and problems with Landy - hard to describe - very occasional jerking, like something locking up - some sounds like grating metal. Whirring sound which gets louder with increased speed. No difference in different gears. Still got the whirring in...

Hi All, My starter motor is stuck on my 1985 2.5 N/A 110 and I'd like to try and fix this myself if possible. I am a complete beginner and would welcome any advice on best manual/CD, or whatever to follow instructions - I have the Haynes already but seems a bit vague, or is that me just not...

I plan to convert my Ex MOD 110 Truck cab to a camper van with a soft top. My initial thoughts are to have a local joiner build in 6mm marine ply - two sleeping platforms one down each side about 28" wide, boxed in underneath and hinged lids so there's easy access to the storage space...

Just picked up my EX MOD 1985 12J 110 PU - where would people advise I shop for things like headlamp surrounds, front grille, canvas tilt and galvanised frame, rubber matting for cab, and other things it's likely to need? Thanks.

Hi All, Just bought one - I'm first registered owner other than MOD - don't pick it up till Friday. Any advice/observations at all very welcome as I've little knowledge of these ex MOD vehicles. Especially the n/a 2.5 diesel - seems noisy but doesn't smoke and pulls OK. Thanks. :o

Hi all, Does anyone know of an insurance company that will insure my ordinary car - don't laugh, it's a Skoda - and my 90 CSW on the same policy? So I don't have to have two separate policies.

Hi all, I find the Haynes and Lindsy Porter manuals a bit difficult to follow. I seem to recall some threads about an original Land Rover manual - any ideas? any ideas generally for a complete beginner most welcome.

Hi all, What's ball park cost of 1 year comprehensive insurance for a 200tdi 90? Male, age 48, 5 years' NCB, no points.

Thanks for advice from those who replied. Duly inspired, I read the manual and dived in - then the bleed nipple sheared off in the socket spanner. So, I guess it's now a master and a slave cylinder needed.

My clutch has gone. Master cylinder empty except for a grey sludge in the bottom. Fluid on clutch pedal - what kind of a job is this? Suitable for complete beginner? If not, any ideas on what the garage would charge to fix it?

Hi all, what are opinions on mounting the spare wheel on a 90? I'm thinking of changing from the rear door to the bonnet for the following reasons: 1. Open and shut the back door many times a day, whilst only lift the bonnet once a month to check oil & water. Back door is heavy for young kids...

I really like my 90 CSW but it has one big drawback in that you can't sleep in it and cook and do the things you need to do on regular weekend trips to the lakes. It occured to me you could in a 110 hard top - possibly a sleeping platform down one side and cooker, sink, etc. on the other. Any...

Just had a quote of £1500 for a respray of my 1991 CSW 90. Saw something somewhere on here about hand painting - either brush or roller. Anyone any experience of these things? My wife reckons a hand job would take £1000 off the value!:eek:

Thanks for replies on smartening up eyebrows - lots of ideas, it seems as if a lot of different things will work. So, I've a new tin of smooth black hammerite in the garage and I've decided to use that. Just wanted to check in case it's a big no-no for some reason unknown to me.

The eyebrow mudguards on my 1991 Defender 90 are looking a bit grey and sad - any ideas on how to smarten them up? I tried 'Back to black' which was no good. Waxoyle, perhaps - or would it be sticky? Black Hammerite? or would it crack? Cheers.
