I orderd a few bits to convert the windscreen washers on to the wiper arms, then realised I don't have just have a single nozzle but two separate ones on each side of the screen and they work fine. Is it standard to have 2 seperate ones on the earlier 110s?

I finished installing it today, Id say you get about 50% more flow with the bilge fan, Def worth doing IMO. It is a fair bit louder though, but it's not really a problem with the engine running.

I'm going to put a seperate switch in for the bilge fan, it'll work abit quicker to demist the screen with the diesel heater running, Once it's up to temp the normal heater and fan are fine :)

I'll find some foam to fill it and tape it. Orderd a bilge pump to shove in the air intake and 'supercharge' it. I don't like being cold :oops:

Would it be a bad idea to spray a little bit of expanding foam around the heater pipes to seal that area? I did put strips of foam around the matrix when I replaced it but clearly didn't do a very good job around the pipes:rolleyes:

Yep, I have noticed that Its also blowing a fair bit out of the hole that the heater matrix pipes exit so I think I'm loosing a fair bit of air through there. Adjusting the top cable correctly has given me a hell of a lot of heat now though, Its unbearable after about 15 mins on full now.

Cables are both off now, I had the fan speed cable attached to the top of the heater box which was wrong, and now it moves through all the settings, but only works on number 2. I can live with it though, I only ever had it on full or off anyway :) I should get more heat now the hot/cold is...

Ive had a look and now Im even more confused as i think I had them the wrong way. I might be imagining this, but Im sure on 'number 2' the fan was blowing alot more than it currently is. Edit - I get nothing until the lever is at 2, the rest of the positions do nothing Its too much of a pain...

My ex mod 110 which is obviously a van is an estate on the logbook. I didn't do the initial registration, but it's just a case of what you choose isnt it? Edit - yeah I'm exempt

I'm not sure about the zf boxes on the NA/later 'R' ones, but the Merc boxes on the older xjrs need a special (expensive) controller to get them to work. Currently 'refurbing' the one on the right, lovely smooth engines :D

I thought about putting the old supercharged v8 engine I have spare in mine, until I realised just how ridiculous it is, 400 hp in a defender is mental.

1986 110, I either damaged my cables when changing the engine or when I changed the heater matrix but Im only just getting around to sorting it. Could someone tell me what the cable on the top on the heater box and the one down the side does please?:D Currently I can change where the air...

One thing I've noticed is that my steering now feels more responsive and tight going straight ahead, so I have a feeling it has swollen the bushes slightly, not sure if this is good or bad, time will tell but it definitely feels better at the moment.

I thought it was for a hand throttle

Is it a drying underseal product? I think the prep work needs to be perfect or it does more harm then good, I'm always wary it's not been done properly so I've never had anything like that done. This is kinda like when you have an oil leak and it stops it rusting, prep work is minimal.

The earlier Jag v8s had tensioner issues because they were plastic and cracked, mine has got a receipt for over a grand to have metal ones put in.

Just Google mls 300tdi headgasket if you really must

£320 for the full treatment on a defender, I got 10% off though as I had my jag done too. Bit expensive I know but I only need to top it up every 2 years. Its In Tipton, west midlands.
