HI All - a couple of technical questions as I am preparing the old 110 to go to South Europe for the nth time 
1. Overdrive
What is better - GKN electrically controlled or or the manual RoverDrive. By better I mean which is more reliable - I do '000 miles on motorways followed by mountain roads and green lanes. I have read horror stories of reliability issues - Is there an accepted view?
2. Exhaust - Custom / Hybrid
my 110 is fitted with a heavy duty Isuzu 2.8 pick up engine (with cam gears, no cam belt) - after 15 years the exhaust will soon disintegrate - can anyone recommed a specialist that can fix or can do custom LR exhausts, ideally in Surrely or berkshire - and at an honest price?
3. Rear axle
I want to replace my rear salisbury drum axle with a disc brake one - I understand this is a fairly straight forward job, but the trainer arms need replacement too - is that correct?
4. Chassis guard
Does anyone have a def 110 underbody transmission plate / guard for sale? that is the large square-ish one typically marketed by terrafirma
5. Eberspacher
Does anyone know any reliable specialist in Surrey / south berkshire that can do a custom installation of an Eberspacher system heater as well as a simple but heavy duty twin battery system?
Cheers everybody!
