Fumbling & Filters The 110 Posted by Nicky Smith Mon, October 17, 2016 19:18:53 My new approach is definitely "Do a bit when you can" where the 110 is concerned. There is still so much to do on it that the only way I do not get fed up with it all ending up selling the damned thing is to look at...

Its like you have met my dog lol

Slowly Slowy... The 110 Posted by Nicky Smith Sun, October 16, 2016 11:23:06 Wouldn't it be great to have a tail. I was sat last night with my family enjoying a tipple when I got around to watching the dog. She seems to be able to express all of her emotions just using her tail! I just said her...

I got used to my Series 3 being on the bonnet pretty quickly as well. Love the look of it too ;)

That's the most probable choice and yes keeping one on the bonnet. The old series three had it there as well and it was ok to drive.

Decision Made. The 110 Posted by Nicky Smith Mon, October 10, 2016 18:18:32 After a great deal of pondering about what type of wheels I want to go with on the 110 I decided to go with the 16x7 Black modulars. Two bought with my birthday money and three to go as and when I have the cash...

I think they should give me shares in the place with the amount I spend in there!

You are not wrong there!

Just sat here writing the next big list of parts I will be getting from paddocks in the morning. Thats my birthday money gone! but it should be most of thebits for the engine sourced.

Oh my word that sounds just like my sort of luck! I have literally just stood over the 110 looking and deciding what to do next. Its mostly little bits that can be pottered on with from now onwards so despite being a miserable bugger I find a little enthusiasm creeping back in again ;)

Thanks for the feedback folks it is appreciated! A bit if delay 8n responding as I am on nightshift at the moment. You are all right that it should start feeling a bit better now with each step a foot forward. I was chatting to Wifey about it who just said "leave it where it is and get back to...

Pick Ups & Put Downs. The 110 Posted by Nicky Smith Tue, October 04, 2016 14:58:52 There were great big heavy lumps of metal everywhere underneath the 110. In fact there was no large metal lumps left at all in the 110 and this left me a little miffed with what lay ahead. But as with all...

It's not waffle chap I enjoy the feedback! Seriously though it really gets on your pip sometimes doesn't it! I have a mate coming up tomorrow who loves working on gearboxes so hopefully we will get the transfer box swapped over and teh gearbox back into place on new mounts ;)

Films & Fumbling. The 110 Posted by Nicky Smith Thu, September 29, 2016 16:14:27 As I sit here writing this I have popped the TV on for a change, I fancied some background noise for a change. The programme I managed to find is an old 1950's B movie about a Plasticine monster from Venus that is...

Not Much Left In. The 110Posted by Nicky Smith Mon, September 26, 2016 14:18:30 Honestly I have been crazy busy with life of late. Family have been coming and going, in fact I have had more family along with friends visit lately than ever before so with all of that good company along with trying...

I am fitting a 200tdi in it not a 300 :) The engine will be left standard not tweaked in any way because it is going to be a camper/overlander conversion. I am after more of a decent cruising speed.

Well while the engine is out I may as well sort the lot out eh ;)

And I thank you :)

Yep the 1:6 will be going up for sale chap but I am aware they are worth a pretty penny so will get back to you when it is out. I think a friend has done what I am thinking here and a box has come up at the right money about an hour away so I may just have a punt on it. Thanks for the reply :)

Afternoon folks. Would a transfer box from a 300tdi Discovery fit my 110 Defender LT77 gearbox without modification? I am looking to swap out the military 1:6 ratio that's fitted for a better cruising speed when touring :)
