1984 110 2.5 n/a engine. A few weeks ago my landy started cutting out. You would have to wait a few minutes then you could start again, go another 1/2 - 3 miles then cut out again... and so on. Trying to get back home, nothing obvious, drained water off etc, changed fuel filter, bled...

Live in Northumberland - I don't even have to bother locking my Landy doors at night!

A friend of mine (no, really) is starting up a sort of tour business (I can't give too much away about just what until he's up and running as he does have some competition). A Landy is the perfect vehicle for what he is going to do, but he is getting conflicting advice from the local council...

Have 3 Peugeot / Cit engines running on diesel/VO mixes - we increase the VO percentage in summer, decrease in winter - from 20 - 85% dependent on ambient temp. As said here, they work well in these engines (the excellent XUD enignes anyway) due to them having a heated fuel filter. We've...

The irony I find is that outside my childs school, in the hot sunny weather there are a good few parents sitting in thier spotless BMW, Toyota (and sad to say, a metallic silver immaculate 90 with road tyres) and other pretend off road vehicles, with all the windows closed tight and the engine...

Doh! That would make perfect sense! Also not an expensive fix- my favourite sort. My thanks to you both. :)

I've had mixed results - I've had some really cheap and good quality parts delivered very next day from it - but I've also tried to buy a fuel pump, had my card details taken and when it did not turn up a week later, rang and was promised it had just been sent. When another week went by and...

Tried both and now been with Britannia for several years and several vehicles. - When their agent turns up, you invariably find that they are also agents for AA & RAC, so you actually get the same folks (unless you get one of the ever-diminishing actual RAC or AA ones of course - but the years...

The last few times I've used a nearby ford (which is nicely sited to allow you to miss out the rush hour traffic if you've got a proper 4x4 ). However, I've noticed that from about halfway across the steering suddenly becomes very stiff, and this continues after going up the opposite bank for a...

noit quite - £30 for my Citroen!

If I've questions like this on eBay I look for previous buyers and mail them - I did so for these winches and got surprisingly good comments!

Thought I'd add to this subject as the postings here saved me a lot of time and money. I had the exact same symptoms as Geoff on my 1984 CSW 110. As it happened, I had a 2" lift kit ready to install, so did that anyway, meaning to deal with the wobble next - and to my surprise the problem seemed...

Succinct & precise as ever. Just the advice I was looking for on that thread. Thanks!

On the same subject, following the same advice from elsewhere and not wanting to fit new bushes, raius arms etc etc I've just fitted a 2" lift kit (just Britpart springs & shockers)... but it now looks a helluva lot more than 2" to me though (my wife says I've always had a tendency to...

I am thinking about taking advantage of an offer I've seen for a compressor and basic air tools kit. Question is, what CFM should I be looking for? I'm not going to want it for spray painting as I don't have a garage,(nor am I that fussed about my paint work!) But, I'd like to use it for tyre...

er, might be simpler to buy a diesel and make your own - a hell of a lot safer too. Thats not being flippant, but if you are serious about making your own fuel it would probably be easier in the long run (we've been running diesels on various veg oil blends for years and years - putting the...

I too was thinking of upgrading my rear brakes (1984 110), but I have 2 considerations - firstly, my tyres are off road types, so as has been mentioned, very effective brakes would probably increase the likelihood of skids induced by overbraking (they're not wildly effective tyres on the road...

"which of these size of tyres will fit a 110 landy? which is best for 100% road?" I agree with muddy above - I've never quite understood the point of a 100% road Landrover except to use the maximum fuel to least effect for whatever reason (maybe to make the summers warmer?) - if it's for...

This is interesting as last time I spoke to DVLA, the woman told me that the exemption no longer exists! But from posts here it plainly does. Another thing to watch is that (I work in law) I used to often see exempt vehicles getting fixed penalty notices for failing to display excise licence -...

This happened to me too - .....on brand new brand name tyres! Nowadays I'm more than happy to use remoulds (though not all, just certain brands) on my Landy - though for my car I still get brand tyres.
