That would certainly sort the problem. Still want to know why it's happening though! Thanks for that.

Thanks Gmacz. No power to the plugs when the light is on, and it's manual, unlike 300tdi that has relay Kwakerman, are you suggesting that I change the wiring to include a relay/timer as in the td5?

I have a 1985 land rover 110 to which I fitted a 300tdi engine in place of the n/a engine. Needless to say, greatly improved performance. The glo plugs were heated in the same way as original, by turning the ign on, and then turning a little further against the spring loading, when the glo plug...

Thanks Kwakerman and James. ''Probably' ok' isn't worth the risk, so I think I'll have to replace for peace of mind. Speed of reply appreciated, Gerry.

Hi, Iv'e rebuilt my 300tdi engine after having block re-bored and fitted a new 3 hole elring head gasket. Iv'e just taken the glo plugs out to check their o.k. and the probe on one of them stayed in the hole, so I need to remove the head to sort it. Can I use the same gasket, or will I have...

Hi, I have a 1985 110 csw in 'blue', and I'm trying to find out which shade it is so I can get some for touch up. If anyone has a copy of the 2.0 edition (still current, I believe) of the Rimmer Bros 90-110 Defender parts and accessories catalogue, the B reg 90 csw on the front cover is the...

Thanks for that. I have to change the output shaft anyway, so full strip anyway.

Can I see the end float and dog teeth just by taking the top cover off, or are they further down?

Thanks James. Short and to the point. Can you tell me what's causing the jumping out of gear?

Thanks,James. Short

I have a 1985 110 csw to which I fitted a 300tdi engine. I want to fit a disco1transfer box to lower the ratio for a higher motorway speed and more mpg. (Mine is 1.667 – Disco is 1.22/1) I’ve had the engine out for rebore and pistons and rebuilt it, so now would be the perfect time to do the...

£15 to £20 sounds good to me. Once I've determined whether it's the unit or not, that's the road I'll go down. Thanks for that, Steve. Yes, 'Redhand' I kept the lt77, so it's mechanical. Thanks.

It has the standard wheels and tyres as fitted new, Steve. When you say 'pick up a new one' is that a magnet (to do a repair) or a new speedo. Speedos quite pricey I would think! Mine is a 1985 110 csw. I had a n/a engine in when I bought it, but fitted a 300tdi (retaining original gearbox and...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll have a look at the flange first. If that's not it, then I'll try the cable greasing. Will keep you informed! The bouncing either side of the speed I'm actually doing is what is happening until it settles down to around half my actual speed.

What do you mean by the 'sender'. Is that something electronic? I thought it was just a cable. If it's a gear in the unit itself is it repairable?

Hi. I have a 1985 110 csw with a speedometer problem. It started a quite a few months ago while I was driving. The needle started fluctuating violently above the speed I was driving, then settled down below my actual speed after a few miles. Over the months it has become progressively worse so...

Hi, I have a 1985 110 csw with a disco 300tdi engine(1995). I've just put a new cylinder head on after a pressure test revealed a crack in the old one. When I first had the conversion done by my local garage,one issue I had was the green ring sensor/sender unit that was in the 300tdi head gave a...

Hi, Reverse gear usually won't engage on my LT77 gearbox. On the odd occasion it does, I have to be very light on the clutch and not put too much power through or it won't stay in. This has been getting progressively worse (Isuppose it was never going to go away!) I even have to park now so that...

I'm trying to open the nicksjungle website for info on putting a 300 disco engine into my 1985 110 but the site isn't available. does anyone know why? Thanks
