Right so. Fresh head. Fresh day.

Nipped up every nut/union on the clutch.

Bled another 500ml through.

No change.

Adjusted the pedal so the nyloc is only about half on (now secured with loctite). Success! Easy gear changes and i can drive.

Seems bizzar that for what ever reason I need that extra bit of pull to disengage without any other changes.

Now to sort headlight aim.

Not only that its developed some kind of very unsettling wobbling when driving. Akin to when you get a high wind over a bridge, but its calm and im doing 40 on the road with no wind. Its very disconcerting

Panard rod bush for the wobble?
You using poly bush or OEM bush?

check panard arm… I had super pro in that & change to oem. All other pro bushes were fine. (Easy way,stand outside motor with engine running and twitch the steering left/right. See if the body work moves)

And check drop arm nut…same as above it will jump if ball joint has gone. (Have you done the disco drop arm conversion?)
 
Not to hijack mate but I’ve a similar thing on my D1. It’s like you have to keep hold of wheel at all times. It’ll do it worse when you come out of a dip or pothole. Like you say, feels like it gets blown by gust of wind and makes my arse cheeks clench 😂

Ahh ok, ill check that.

Did the disco drop arm conversation, tightened to correct torque, driven for 3 weeks and retorqued. It could be ill check again.
 
Thought id fixed the clutch issues but no.

Test drive friday no problems at all.

Drove home last night absolutely spot on, best its ever been.

Drove to work today only just got to work, its at the point now if its in gear with the pedal down it moves on its own!

Ordered a new master slave and copper washers. This will be the third of both this year!
 
Took some time today to strip the master and slave off.

I always forget how easy it is to remove the pedal box....

Found a couple issues

Washer on the master is slightly deformed but its very minor

The nyloc on the master was also touching the pedal box which doesnt seem right to me

Last one, took the slave off and the piston basically fell out. Never had that before!

Dont know which has failed as they both appear fine just some minor issues.

Also got new copper washers for the clutching union bits.

New parts going in tomorrow, hopefully fixed...

Parents have sold their house and with it my garage/workshop goes as well 😔

Alas im moving soon and a garage to build! Hopefully the 110 behaves itself and stays together till its done 😂

I now have to dispose of 220L of waste oil 🤣 6 years of car servicing here!

You missed bonfire night….

So a trip to the local tip. If you go in the landy you may need a special permit but gives better acsess to the waste oil station.
I get rid of all sorts at mine,
 
When we looked at 1 house to buy,the seller said come round the back & through the garage.

Well all I saw was a rally car still on the trailer attached to a high top transit and the space in the garage….

But as the house was small mrs said no.

So moved to where we are now . Planning refused for a large garage. So put up a car port(no planning needed) free standing roller door. Fits 3 motors & drive right through to the rest of the garden.

Good luck with the build
 
😫😫😫

Got the health check back from Gigglepin...

The issue i have with the clutch is likely down to the clutch itself or something within the bellhousing.

Its barely drivable as it is and I don't want to risk it completely letting go leaving me stranded. So made the very painful choice to leave it with them... at £114 p/h i may have to sell some organs
 
Don’t blame you mate! Feel free to let your creative side flow and make me some custom light guards for my d1 or even something different to go on the rear door chequer to recoup the costs 😂.
What’s next on the jobs once the issue is out the way? Did the Landy write you a Christmas list?
My mrs asked what I’d like for Christmas. Apparently ratchet spanner’s is a boring gift?! I thought it was a great idea!

🤣🤣 If I had a D1 to hand id happily make you some bits!

Ratchet spanners is a brilliant gift! I love the gearless ones from Halfords for time saving and tricky situations. Standard ones for some abuse but also collecting the Wera ones now too!

Ended up shipping the 110 to Empire for the work, just better for me...

Gigglepin came back with this list -

Exhaust Manifold blowing - Got a mate with a mill whos going to flatten the CJM Manifold but need the 110 in the winter so that can wait.

Front cam cap leaking - Just needs a reseal

Oil pipe for vacuum pump weeping at block end - Remove, clean bit of hylomar and sorted

Both Rear & O/S/F bump stops missing -
Just need to actually buy them, not sure why im putting it off 🤣

Seat box crossmember (AKA Mid Crossmember) corroded & holed -

Not looking forward to this in the slightest. I know YRM do a slide in one but problem remains its not exactly easy to take my second row floor out. Cage off, headliner out (that is a NIGHTMARE to remove and install). So need to look into if it can br removed and refitted without removing the floor.

Steering box starting to weep from bottom seal -
I noticed this a while back and changed the outerseal, must be the inner seal thats weeping.

A-Frame crossmember in poor condition -
Hopefully just a clean and paint

Transfer box intermediate shaft leaking from both ends & nut loose -
Empire sorting while the gearbox is off. However worried the TX box is on its last legs casing wise. I changed the outer seal last August and its leaking again, so that would indicate the bearings are worn or the casing is. Or that I just did a bad job the first time 🤣

The nut being loose must have worked loose due to oil egress. Im 150% certain that was torqued to spec.

Rear brake pads 90% worn, brake discs rusty around edges - Got new discs and pads for £60, so ill get to that soon.

Drivers door difficult to shut - I need new hinges, reluctant to buy any because im designing some with a mate so want to use my own 😜

Speeedi sleeve on the leaking tfer box output flange and another new seal.
 
Bit of an update from Empire...

Turns out everything in the bellhousing im managed to **** 🤣

Ive destroyed the nylon bush and worn the pivot in the meantime

Main issue was the pressure plate, that failed, unsure how, but no pics.

Rear crank seal is leaking too, so sump off do all of that 😑

Oh and crank wiring is damaged so I need to replace that as well, luckily i have an overlay harness from empire so just my time to sort.
 
Got my 110 back from Empire today!

So nice to have it back! They did a brilliant job of sorting out the clutch issue along with a lot of other issues that cropped up.

LOFs new updated VNT Extreme clutch is better as well, considerably lighter on the pedal compared to the older version so an added bonus!

Also the strange wobbling sensation is gone, it was a completely knackered trailing arm.bush. Utterly non existent.
