Hi,
Has anybody got some detailed photos of a 10j in an early 110, I'm doing a full rebuild and need to confirm everything is correct
thanks

Not much help but I'm doubtful there will be. The 2.25 diesel only just managed to pull an 88 series and it's not really powerful enough to do that. If someone did have one I'd assume it was long replaced. The weight of a 110 and higher probably made it quicker to take out the floor and go in Fred flintsone style
 
Its a very early 110, with the 2.25, I am rebuilding one for USA export so has to be original, half of the engine is missing, so I need a reference photo. With these exports its pretty important its all correct, I suspect that retro fitting a 12J would look completely different?

You might do better asking on the series forum
 
I have a 2.25 diesel from a series however I don't know if the early 110 would have engine mounts in a similar place to a series or engine mounts changed on the engine.

I believe everything is the same with the engine. The fly wheel housing studs may be in a slightly different place. I'm not sure if they have a mechanical vacuum pump for servo brakes like the 2.5 and onward vehicles or if they kept the butterfly valve on the intake.
It would be a 5 main bearing engine with cc output of 2.3. It would fit in similar to the 2.25 petrol in a 110 of which there are more pictures.
 
It might be worth having a look at the parts book. It might give you a few pointers on general layout from the diagrams

if you've got half the engine then just build it up as a 2.25 using late series 3 parts - pretty much everything ought to be correct..............................
 
I can take specific pictures of the 2.5 N/A if you need, but there are loads on the forum for that engine. Parts books are all on line, worth comparing the part numbers for series and 110 engine mounts.
 
See if you can read any road tests of the "New 110" online, and look for original brochures/magazines with road tests on eBay - you could include them with the sale of the finished car.

As I recall, back then no decent road test was ever published without pictures of the engine and bay.
 
Can anyone shed more light about 110s fitted with 10J engines. I came across such a vehicle some 15 years ago and thought it was a retrofitted 2.3. The mechanic who was working on it at the time told me that some very early 110s were fitted with 10Js and they could be recognised from Series III 10Js because they had an electrically operated shut-off solenoid rather than cable operated. Would anyone know how many vehicles were fitted with it or the reason why? I was of the impression that one of the main "upgrades" when the 110 was launched was the introduction of the 2.5 litre N/A diesel with the 2.5 petrol following suit a year or so later.
 
One Tens were introduced in 83 with the same 2.25 engine as the S3 or the V8.

The 12j 2.5 was fitted to the Ninety which was launched a year later in 84 after which they were fitted to both models.

The petrol wasn't upgraded until 85 when the V8 also became an option in the Ninety.

So allowing for some typical LR fitting what was lying around the only coil sprung 10js are One Tens built in 83-early 84 before the launch of the Ninety.

It's worth remembering that the 12j and 19j aren't really different engines from the 10j but ongoing development.

During the Series period in 81 the change was made from 3 to 5 bearing cranks in preparation for the longer stroke 12j
 
You also initially had a choice between permanent and part-time four wheel drive with the initial 110's.
