    (swap) My ex mod tithonus 110 300tdi for good v8 p38+cash

    Well I've finally decided I don't need my 110, havnt driven it since the start of the year. This one, lists most things done. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-rover-defender-110-tithonus-300tdi-/224553483445?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 I do not want...

    Recovery 4x4 / BSB autoparts

    They're right by me, have used them loads, nice people to deal with. Defenders off the road at the moment but the last time I bought something during the pandemic, I just called, told them what I wanted and picked it up straight away, shopfront was closed so you couldn't just turn up.

    300tdi auto conversion from lt77

    I'll stick with the 1.6 and see how it goes, I do seem to be doing some longer distances recently but I don't really like going much above 60 in a defender anyway.. Ive got my head round the how it all goes together, I'll put the gearbox in the first then hook the engine on and weld the new...

    300tdi auto conversion from lt77

    The one thing is my transfer box is a 1.6,so I'm not sure how that's going to go.. I can currently pull off quite quickly but top out at around 60,70 is screaming.

    300tdi auto conversion from lt77

    Well it looks like it comes with pretty much everything I need other than the oil cooler, kick down bracket and I'll need a crossmember. Inhibitor switch, dip stick, high low bracket all present Not sure how it all goes together yet but I don't think I need to measure the spacer because it'll...

    300tdi auto conversion from lt77

    So I've got an Lt77 with a 300tdi in the NA position in my '86 110, Always wanted an auto though, and abit of a kit popped up on ebay from a disco 1 and it didn't go for a whole lot of money, I'll probably get more back for the lt77.. Now for the questions, looking at the picture is there...

    Defender LT77 box problem

    I can't go from 3rd to second on mine, but I've never needed to so it doesn't really matter

    Are these MOT failures?

    One of the brake pipes on the jag I'm rebuilding looked really good, until I removed it and where it had slightly been rubbing on the inner wheel arch after someone had done some welding , it was like tin foil , scary :eek:

    Are these MOT failures?

    What I did with my brake line was put abit of rubber tubing over the top first before cable tieing. I don't think I'd want my brake line rubbing on steel

    Military Side Lights and Indicators...how much?!!

    I've also been buying them as they've come up on ebay, Got sent a box full for free off a Facebook group member when I crashed mine and needed a clear one, that was a pleasant surprise.

    Steering vibration.. Tyre balance?

    Found a garage (well a recovery company) right by my house with some land rovers outside.. They had the correct center cone for them, I dunno what it means but one came up with 100 and the other 120,aparantly that was ridiculously out, got it to 0 within a few mins. No more vibration

    Steering vibration.. Tyre balance?

    Well I've been to a specialist tracking place (only place that knows how to check/adjust the tracking on these things!) and they said it would be pointless, you won't ever get rid of the vibration. Surely that's not correct?:rolleyes: Place I'm about to get my MOT done, a commercial vehicle...

    Steering vibration.. Tyre balance?

    I've been to kwik fit when I had some insa turbos on the disco and they said they couldn't do them, I think i actually went to all the local tyre places I knew when I had those,all said couldn't do it. They're 235/85 R16 on genuine wolf wheels

    Steering vibration.. Tyre balance?

    Just changed my aging g90s as they were feeling quite iffy in the wet, Had some Cooper Discoverer STT fitted, garage couldn't balance them on their machine. It tracks bang on I can let go of the steering wheel and it'll carry on straight, no play in any joints ect I've even put my spare...

    Headlights and sidelights not working

    Turned out to be the front left wiring to the side light, didn't blow the fuse initially but then started to blow everytime I flicked them on, connection was loose. (the side I crashed so probably me not putting them back tightly) I'm not sure how this would effect the headlights though, they...
