    Home made fridge?

    I bought mine in another currency and didn't really do the conversion until I got home. Pricey! But WORTH EVERY PENNY. we went on a 2 week drive in the empty quarter in oman, and we had ice cream, cold drinks, ice, etc while our other friends were trying to just use a cool box. This was in May...

    Home made fridge?

    I have a Waeco fridge. It was expensive. I would spend the money again without hesitation. The trouble with three way fridges is the gas burner has to be level, so you need to park level or you will loose efficiency. I wouldn't know anything about building a fridge from parts by the Waeco one I...

    Bulkhead Repair

    https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/bulkhead-here-goes.345540/ thats the thread I did on it - I learnt by doing, didn't really know before hand. Also check out these... There is a good bunch of videos and you can get a really good idea of how to approach it.

    Bulkhead Repair

    I couldn't imagine a better time to be doing this kind of repair. I did mine last summer. Thought it was take 2 weeks, took 2 months. Wish I had taken a bit longer. I ended up doing both bulkhead side posts, the vent areas, and the footwells. Very proud now though.

    Ticking noise and james martin.

    No loss of power (but can you really ever tell?) everything good. Ticking started after a little bit of driving, not at the start.

    Ticking noise and james martin.

    I had this - fitted a new lift pump and it cleared. But then it came back. I changed the fuel filter, and it went away again. I believe mine was fuel starvation for the injector, the lift pump (fresh one) being enough to pull the fuel through an old filter for a while, but then it too weakened...

    Interior Cargo Netting for Ninety Roof

    I did someting like this on my roof for my 110 in the back. I used a bunch of netting bags sold as pram bags (they hang off the handles and you stuff jackets, etc into them). I opened up the netting bag so it was just a sheet of netting and attached two together to give me the right size. Then I...

    Anti Boredom Suggestions

    Best thing I ever did was download the RAVE manual and walk through the maintenance items in the first few pages. lovely easy jobs, that make a massive difference.

    Dreaded no sound from speakers!

    Try moving through the volume fadder (FWD Left, FWD Right, REAR Left, REAR Right) and see if any speakers come on as you use them isolated from the others. I had something similar and a shorted speaker wire round the back of the wiper motor (defender 110) took them all down. if you can find...

    A day in the life of Defender electrics

    I had some weird ones with lights not working, and then when those ones came on, other ones went off. Couldn't get all the idicators, lights, brakes, etc working all the time. Did a deep clean of the fuses. All out. Clean, spray and cleaned the connectors (glass type). Has banished the...

    10 minute job they said !!!!!!!

    I always laugh in the magazines / forums when people say "20 minute job". It takes me AT LEAST 20 minutes to dig out all my tools from the shed, and another 20 to get the car jacked up. 1hr minimum.

    Replacing lift up handles...

    I rebuild my doors as I couldn't find a new one and I wanted to keep the lift up handle and tab system. It seemed to me that all the companys that did new door frames or skins did not do this type as it was not very common

    Replacing lift up handles...

    Indicators

    I hate to say it, but it might be in a few places. A google search says it's behind the fuse panel (near the gear lever), you need to take the cover off and then unscrew the panel it's self. It should be on the back. Depending on what has been done to your 110 over the years it might be...

    Indicators

    just to make it clear, when you say 'cabin lights' do you mean the light on the dash telling you the indicators are on, or do you mean your interior light???
