Hi, I need some input. I was driving my 110 today, it has the 19j 2.5TD engine. All was well when suddenly it went down on power, running rough and lots of black smoke!!!. When I came to a junction etc it cut out, would`nt idle or very erratic. It would start again but still lots of black smoke...

I have been offered a 3.5 v8 out of a mid 80`s Classic Range Rover. It has a 4 speed auto box currently fitted to it . How easy is it to fit V8 into 2.5TD 110. Could I use my LT77 5 speed box. Would new engine mounts/brackets be needed. What fuel pump would I need. Any answers welcome p.s...

Hi, Has anyone ever used this oil additive in their Landrover . Having read write up on it and it is endorsed by Quentin Wilson, I was wondering if the stuff is as good as they say. I would like some feedback before I decide to shell out 20-30 quid and find out it dos`nt work!! Or if there...

2 lots of seals were bought from Paddocks, the last lot were Britpart packed from local 4x4 spares dealer. Where do you suggest i get them from?

I have the old 2.5td 19j engine in my 110. The problem i have is the valve seals keep coming off hence oil down stems and smoke on start up. I have done thiis job three times, new seals each time, the last time a tried sticking them them on, but that hasn`t worked either. Has anyone got any...

The reason i`m thinking of the change is it`s quieter, petrol is cheaper than diesel and i`m more of a petrol fan than i am of diesels. I suppose it`s easier to tune up for a bit more poke.

Hi, I have a 1989 110 2.5td with the 19j engine. I have seen a 2.5 petrol engine from a Defender 90 for sale and am considering buying it. Can any tell me if it`s a straight swap, ie engine mounts in same place, same rad etc. I know i`ll have to drop and clean fuel tank, but what about fuel...

Hi, Anyone know of anybody that has put an early 1990`s 4 litre jeep engine into a landy. There seems to be no end of engine possibilities that can go in. I`ve seen, hummer engines, bmw m5 engines so wondering if this is possible. It`s a basic engine, no fancy electronics, good power and torque...

I`m with sureterm, they are good. Cover greenlaning etc, european cover.

Hi, I painted mine back last year. Graphics have since been removed and modular wheels fitted. I used Black Gloss Coach Enamel and put it on with gloss roller. Very durable, always has a shine, just wash, no need to polish. Quite a few few people say it looks nice in black. Mine was green when I...

I have a 110 csw and a 1989 5 series Bmw insured with Adrian Flux on multi car policy, about £350 for both full comp.

I did say it was a crazy idea

Hi, As the title say`s, this might be a crazy question, but here goes. I have a 1989 110 2.5td , i also have a 1989 Bmw 525i, with a 2.5 petrol engine. I have been trying to sell car for weeks with no success. Then the other day a seed was planted in my head, would it be possible to put the 2.5...

Hi, I need to buy some parts for my 110 which is a 1989. Having looked on a few parts sites, they quote numbers like KA930455 or LA930456 or HA701009. Can anyone tell me which one mine would come under, I presume their something to do with year of manufactor, I`ve looked on log book but these...

I have a 110 2.5td 19j with the LT77 5 speed box. Over the past couple of weeks there seems to be a rattling noise from gearbox/transferbox area. The gearbox works as sweet as nut, no problems changing gears, no notchy feeling even in cold weather. But there is this rattle, i`ve looked...

HI, I have the chance of a 3.5 V8 engine out of a 110. I currently have a 1989 110 fitted with the 19j 2.5 td engine fitted to the LT77 5 speed gearbox and transferbox. Is it possible to use my Lt77 or is it not strong enough, it`s a good box, nice and smooth. If not what would I need ? Would...

I`m toying with the idea of putting a V8 into my diesel 19j 110. Can anyone suggest a good engine, carb or inj ? What gearbox/transferbox would be needed. Would a new fuel tank and fuel lines be needed? Would the current discs on front, drums on back be sufficient. Any ideas/thoughts welcome...

Hi, Has anyone fitted the Daihatsu 2.8td engine into a 90/110 Defender. My 19j 2.5 TD is slowly giving up the ghost, ave considered 200 and 300 tdi but have decided not to go that way due to knowing people who have trouble with those engine`s, i, have even considered putting V8 in. If anyone has...

Hi Mate, I totally agree with Discomania, the Difflock Evolution 1 oil is excellent. I have the LT77 5 speed box in my 1989 110. When i had the landy, 2nd gear was always tricky first thing and i took my time going through the gears. Then I saw the Difflock oil and put that in instead of the...
