    Speedo Error

    There are 5 different "cogs" from which one can be chosen to match the wheel / differential combination. With a bit of research you might find one to match your combination. https://www.land-rover-blog.co.uk/how-to-replace-the-speedo-drive-gear-on-a-land-rover/

    Electric 110 Project

    I wonder why they put the batteries in the rear load space when there is a large area where the fuel tank used to be.

    Use of standard diff lock explanation for ignorant newbie?

    I've got an LSD on the back, this has worked a few times, in snow and hauling up boats up slipways onto a gravel carpark. Because of this I've only needed the diff lock a couple of times, driving across a field in over a foot of snow and up a slope in snow. Even chunky tyres can get clogged...

    Anyone else still use there defender td5 for work?

    Not for work, but until I retired I was driving my 1984 110 with 200tdi to work every day that's 25 miles each way. Plus I use it for launching and recovering boats of up to 3/4 ton.

    Led bulbs for standard td5 headlights

    A HID or LED, headlamp must have self leveling and wipers. Without that you're illegal If your headlamp was designed for halogen, somewhere it should have an H marked on it, so having LEDs in it is also illegal. There are no legal LED bulbs to convert a halogen headlamp.

    All Electric Defender available 2026 (300 mile range). Thoughts?

    300mile range, in the summer with no load. Make it winter so you need lights, wipers and heating plus add a decent load. You'll not get 100 miles

    A road full of cattle at least they don't damage the front of the landy.

    What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

    Was going to fix the wiper mechanism today but it's darn frosty, and from yesterday I never have to go to work again. So the work has been postponed till Monday when the seaweed inspectors promise a huge 10C.

    Defender heater improvement

    Because they're not old enough to remember / use other 1950s designs. I've built a partition between driver and van body on my 110, fixed behind the driver, removable behind the passenger. The body and cab were given the big rubber floor mat, flashing tape, eva foam routine to cut noise, but it...

    Fuel Tank Options

    Me thinks with the power you have you should be running a disco transfer box, you'll loose some acceleration, but with your power it'll still be better than any normal Landrover. You will gain a much better fuel consumption...

    How tall are you driving a defender?

    Heredity plays a part, my dad's back has been failing for many years he can only go a few yards with a walker now and so is my back is failing, at almost 65 I'm nearly 2 inches shorter. I never had a problem driving the landy 110 at 6ft but do now at 5ft 10in because added to this is duff knees...

    Possible alternative to a snorkel

    I doubt it will allow enough volume of air at full suck. Look at the diameter of the air feed pipe to the engine, that might give you a clue.

    HRH Queen Elizabeth

    Technically, she was HM, not HRH, HRH is for the lesser royals.. The current king has just moved up from HRH to HM. But otherwise I agree with your statements.
