    2.5 petrol to v8

    Worth it for the sound alone, not to mention caning the b0llox off it, in in low-box 3rd in deep mud.

    2.5 petrol to v8

    The easiest way would be to find a rotten V8 Discovery 1 and use the whole engine, transmission, gearbox crossmember, front prop, front section of exhaust, etc. The front half of the Discovery 1 chassis is virtually identical to the 90/110 chassis other than the engine mounts, ideally to put the...

    Help with brakes please

    Are you certain it is pulling? If the trailing arm bushes at the chassis are badly worn the rear axle can steer when you lift off the power. You seem to have checked everything else. Do you get a good flow of fluid when you bleed the brakes? Wondering if there is an internal blockage.

    Q? Twin Rear Fog Lights

    I have just fitted a NAS reversing light to my 110. I fitted it between the driver's side indicator and the fog lamp. The wiring for a reversing light is present behind the cover in the rear corner of the load bed and the wires from the lamp will reach the loom. You need to fit a switch for the...

    Help with brakes please

    Have you managed to crush a metal brake pipe? This would restrict flow.

    To do or not to do ... the old axle change chestnut

    Fit the disc brake rear axle, drums are a faf. You may have to swap the pressure limiting valve to match the discs as well.

    Is it the thrust bearing on the clutch?

    help needed to register ex MOD Wolf 90 LR

    When I filled out my V55/5 most of the boxes were left blank. I did not fill in any of the emissions or environmental details. As long as the application includes the military release form you should be OK. My top tip would be to register it as an estate car rather than a commercial vehicle...

    Fuse box

    I know where to get them and what to use, but you were so arsey with my response to your oil pressure post, you are on your own with this one,

    Stuck in 4WD!?

    Before you faff about too much, just jack one wheel off the ground briefly and see if the diff lock releases. It won't come out of diff lock while the transmission is wound up.

    110 Back end swing

    I used to have a trials motor based on a 1980 Range Rover and could only get aftermarket bushes for the trailing arms. I found that the quality was appalling, I could destroy a pair in one event.

    removing rear bench seats on 1996 Defender 90 300tdi

    From memory, the flaps on the seat backs slot into gaps in the body capping. (Military inward facing seats.) Assuming that yours are the same design, removal was just a case of removing the bolts through the seat base, four bolts per seat.

    110 Back end swing

    Check the big bushes where the rear trailing arms mount on the chassis.

    Will this fit a 2000 TD5 90?

    The roll bar in your link looks just like the standard 1980's military roll bar, there are probably loads of second hand ones knocking about for far less than £546. They are not massively strong and will only give minimal roll over protection, I would say the minimum that you need in a soft top...

    Heated windscreen and night vision

    I have no experience with Land Rover heated screens, but I have found the ones fitted to Fords irritating in the dark, I definitely noticed them.

    Seat belt fitting

    I don't know the answer to your main question, but static belts are not the answer. You may find it impossible to reach the handbrake and they need constant adjustment for each driver / passenger. If you are old enough to remember vehicles fitted with static belts, you may recall that they spent...

    Project Wolf - 300tdi stuck injector help!!

    Can't see that taking the head off will help, you will just make the job harder as the head will move around when you swing on the injector. All the stuff sticking the injector in the head will be soot and gunge that has blown by the injector seal and is sitting on the outside of the head any...
