Hi all, Parked up the 110 last night, with no noticeable problems. Went to get in it this morning and the engine is rattling horribly on acceleration, and there's no power. Upon trying to accelerate it feels as though its missing badly and barely accelerates, I was struggling to pass 30mph...

Little update, Had a call from the garage today, they've got the box out and said that all of the rivets in the clutch friction disc have either sheared or torn out of the liner - so well predicted James! ;) New LUK DMF and clutch kit was fitted this afternoon so I should be able to...

Ah right I know what you mean now. I'm having a new DMF fitted, hopefully that will come with a new bush.. if not I'm sure the mechanic will fit one. :)

That sounds like an expensive weekend.. it never rains but it pours eh? :D I agree it's very reasonable! Seems like an excellent chap as well, he does mainly Landies and has his own monster Rangie classic on 38 inch tyres... Will do... pilot bearing.. release bearing? Same thing? Cheers :p

Yeah I had the same thing with my old 110, layshaft **** itself and I managed to drive home using 4th low and 4th high :rolleyes: The Td5 is now in a local garage who have quoted me £600 for a new genuine clutch, release bearing and dual mass flywheel, fitted. Can't complain at that, so...

Should probably have mentioned that I've had it remapped recently to stage 1 (nothing extreme) by JE Engineering, which probably won't have helped things... haha

Very interesting, was the clutch slipping at all before this happened? That's what surprised me about mine, there weren't any real warning signs!

I wasn't changing gear when it happened, and the gears still feel fine like they're engaging as usual, so I'd be surprised if it was that. Nope It's definitely going into hi/low. Not sure if diff lock works or not but neither front or rear propshaft are turning. Think it's something...

Hi all.. not been on in a while, and unfortunately my return does not bring good news... :( My Td5 110 which I've had for 6 months now has covered nearly 130k and has been relatively trouble free until now... On the way back from the gym tonight, just as I was pulling into my street, I was...

You can bolt the gearbox mounts from the LT77 straight onto the R380 and fit it right back in where the 77 was. No need to bolt it to an R380 x-member. The R380 is longer, and your engine will end up smack bang in the middle of the engine bay (pretty much exactly the position of a factory...

Awesome thread Ayresy... a v. entertaining read! :D

Yep you can. Got 285/75/R16 on my 110 :)

Got these listed on eBay; Early 110 Lift Up Rear Door & card (drivers side) Early 110 Lift Up Rear Door card (passenger side) Cheers then! :D

Sweet! No I didn't, I was intending to bid but missed the end of the auction haha. You should put some pictures up and start a thread, especially if you're planning on doing lots of work to it. Would be good to consolidate all of your queries... and besides, it'd make a good thread! :p

Sorry can't help with your vacuum line problem but was the 110 by any chance the 'Y' registered one on eBay recently? If so... jammy bastid, I wanted it! :D

7.50s are a 1-to-1 tyre. Which means they have an aspect ratio of 100%. Metric equivalent size (not actually made) would be 205/100/R16 A standard 90 is fitted with 205/80/R16, but imho 235/85 or 265/75 look far more proportional to the vehicle.

Rims and arches are sold now :) Bumper and axle still available... get yer bids in people! :D:hippie:
