Got my 110 a month ago. So far have cleaned and degreased everything in the engine bay, carpeted the rear, painted the rear door sill, re-soldered the interior light, added some lights in the back, repaired the dodgy heater controls, cleaned and rustpainted the battery compartment, added some silicone to stop water from the roof running down and through the door seals and added a folding step to the passenger side.
This weekend have removed the seats and sanded/hammerited the frames, added a working light to the rear, cleaned and rustproofed the underseat on the passenger side, replaced the rear lock.
During this week I will be cleaning the underside thoroughly, patching some holes under the seats and changing the front door lock barrels so I can have just the one key.
 
Replaced the glow plugs and sorted the wiring to them, the 2.5 N/A engine has been taking longer to start the colder it gets.
 
Just measuring spacing for outriggers. Got a rangie chassis, and outriggers, x member for series 3, and a series 3! Going to build the hybrid over this winter if all goes well, and measuring and marking starts it all off today!!
 
Started stripping the head off (again) and then its off to Foxwood in Chesterfield for a skim and test.

Anyone used them before?

Better work this time lol, i need warm blowers for winter!
 
Took my starter motor off, stripped it down and cleaned all the terminals. Then bolted it back on and it still wouldn't work.
Get a turn out of it then it just free-spins. :(
Stupid thing, dunno whats wrong with it.
 
Took it to the garage to see why I have a leisure centre developing in my footwell, swimming pool/ ice rink combi. Thought I had sorted it already as well but it's swimming again.

:mad:
 
Just felt like having a moan, you know when a simple easy job just goes wrong......

Did the front bearings not too long ago and noticed the tab washers were a bit on the naff side, and one of them wasn't even the right one so at the Oxford show recently I bought new tab washers and this weekend set about each corner in turn to regrease and adjust each set of bearings put a new tab washer in.

I started at the back and went around round each of the hubs on the Disco on Sunday to check/adjust and fitted one of those new tab washers to each, all seemed good, got to the last one, the front passenger side and when putting it back together one of the 5 17mm bolts that holds the cover over the adjusting nuts/shaft snapped, I wasn't even doing it up tight, then the old solid brake pipe that goes in to the caliper cracked..

All sorted now though, the breadknife went and got a new bolt and brake pipe yesterday, so bent the pipe into shape and then took nearly an hour just getting the two bolts at either end screwed in, they just would not go in to the thread and then as if by magic (after lots of swearing and spanner throwing) they just went in?!?!?

Had to drill into the bolt that had snapped off and get it with a reverse thread... I'm getting good at this, but I suppose NOT snapping bolts is the better way to go.

; )

Anyway, all good to go now.

Winge over
 
Bought some fresh antifreeze for mine. Just gotta get around to bunging it in.:eek:
 
Fitted a replacement starter motor as mine would engage for more than half a turn after taking it off roading.
Seems to have fixed the problem, however battery is nearly flat so couldn't get it to turn over enough times to start it. :(
 
Sold me LT85 and both prop shafts, money started coming in at last and commited now to scrapping the 110.
