Hi Wolf - 300tdi

Hi All My 95 110 starts fine most of the time.......However, if I have left it for a few days and it is cold weather (like now!) then it turns over really slowly and struggles to fire. As it has new heater plugs I am guessing the battery is either knackered or too weak and feeble to turn a...

Hi there. My 1996 110 needs a good old service and MOT. Probably needs a few bits doing to it as well. I don't have the time at the moment to sort it myself, so was just wondering if anyone could recommend a good specialist near Leeds, York or Harrogate? How mush does a service generally cost?

I've got a standard 300tdi - well apart from the metal and silicone hoses and and a bigger intercooler. It runs fine and pulls well. Only problem is that the turbo is pretty noisy, especially under hard acceleration and when cruising at motorway speed. The plus point is that it so loud I...

I've got a 95 110 300tdi. It has got more checker plate and other **** bolted to it than is strictly necessary. As a result I measure gallons to the mile. If I tried really hard not to thrash it everywhere and took off all the extraneous crap I'd be happy to get 25-28 mpg

When it's cold mine sounds like a bag of spanners and runs slower than an asthmatic ant carrying heavy shopping. The joys of DERV

Day spent wire brushing and cleaning the underside of the 110. Got carried away and wire brushed all the grot from the axles, springs, roll bars and stuff. Just wondering what to repaint them with - underseal just didn't seem right! Any suggestions on what pain tis best to use for these bits...

Situation update: 1. Sender unit removed 2. New one arriving Moday 3. Chassis ready for waxoyling 4. Cups of tea drank = 8 5. Bacon sandwiches eating = 3 6. Oil on wife's new hallway carpet 7. Swearing = f**kin' loads 8. Chance of action bedroom action = Nil. Oh well at least the landy is...

its a 96 110 CSW

Erm nope, not unless it's blown over in the wind. But as the sender is on the side of the tank and there is 60quids worth of diesel in there I thought it might be over the level of the sender???

So when /i screw it up perhaps a second cup of tea will be needed! I'lll give it a go tomorrow and let you know. Guess I will have to drain the fuel tank though.

Thanks storm - short a simple answer! Being a bit of a mechanical numpty - how difficult is it to remove the sender unit?

Ah. Just realised that it is the diesel sender unit that I have screwed up! Broken the stub pipe on the sender. So the question is do I have to remove the tank to replace the sender? Thanks in advance for any help

So I decided to start preparing the chassis for waxoyling and made the mistake of trying to move the diesel return pipe (I think that's what it is!). The pipe broke off at the fuel tank leaving a piece of pipe sticking out. I have tried to remove the broken bit of pipe from the tank but it wont...

Daughter named our 110 Sandy the Landy.

By the way Bluehaze - did you get your truck fixed????

Cheers. That was my thought. As this is my first Landy I am still trying to get my head around what is to be expected and what should send me running for the hills!

So, the 110 that I bought a couple of months ago passed it's test - new shocks, drop links and bits and pieces but nothing too bad. I have now started to clean up the chassis and have noticed a few things that concern me. So I am looking for either reassurance or confirmation of my...

I have just bought a 300tdi defender 110csw which I have just had serviced. Took it out for a drive today and found that the top speed was about 75mph and that at this speed there seemed to be a lot of "turbo" whine???? Appreciate that 110s aren't the fastest or quietest of things, but does...

Well good news my 110 passed it's MOT with only minor faults (shocks, track rod end etc) but had to remove the two forward facing rear seats as they don't have proper seat belts. So I am thinking that I might reinstate rear bench seats to give more room and give the family somewhere to sit out...
