    Electrical - starting fault/issue (seeking help/advice) - 1996 Defender 110 300TDI

    They can also do a real frustrating thing where they do open, but then, if there's other stuff going on, they can close again when it's cranking.... And then open again when you stop cranking.

    Electrical - starting fault/issue (seeking help/advice) - 1996 Defender 110 300TDI

    Have someone sit in the car, and turn the key - not to cranking, but just before. Whilst they do this, put your ear close to the injection pump. Do you hear a click from the back of the injection pump as they turn the key? If the engine cranks, it's a fuel or air issue (or lack of...

    Wolf style rim retrofit to 1983 110

    I'm casually looking for a set, and I'm relaxed enough on time scales that I may as well get genuine. What are the indicators as to "authenticity" when I'm browsing face book market place in the middle of the night? I'm in no rush and am happy to chuck some sand / not sand in my clemco, so...

    What’s it worth?

    It's funny how their rep went that way. Were they ever good or was it just a copy of the "lanoguard" advertising campaign?

    Half shaft oil seal removal ?

    I have had a bit of a go. Plenty of mentions but not a lot of (or any, but I'm sure someone will now search better than me and make me look a fool!) of people actually saying "I run like this and it's fine"

    Half shaft oil seal removal ?

    I dont have the direct link to hand but Ashcroft certainly mention removing the half shafts oil seal if you're fitting flanges with screw on caps. I assume someone here has done just that? Any feedback on the results? The reason I ask is that I went to replace the half shafts today and one...

    Difference between hard top and station wagon roof

    They really are not anything special. If your local hardware place sells overpriced alloy extrusion they may even have some you can attach. Painted in to the same colour as the roof and noone would ever spot them even if they were looking.

    Difference between hard top and station wagon roof

    this is a 2nd row door - Starts just after the b post. I can see no fasteners other than the odd pressed indents - The strip, unlike at the b post, goes under the c post edge - If you bent up some strip and pop riveted it on, there would be no conflicts, so far as i can see.

    Its dark now, but, if you let me know exactly what you want to see, ill point the camera at it some time tomorrow.

    Difference between hard top and station wagon roof

    ...are they the old b posts under it? Did the old / original ones have the rivet on door seals?

    Difference between hard top and station wagon roof

    Unrelated, but you have odd sides on yours. They're like s3 88 sides. They have a vertical, umm, bar / plate externally at the c pillar position. Later builds just have a fold there. I'm thinking about how the seal is held on my 110. I don't remember a lip, but I guess it must have one. I...

    300tdi ticking

    The (probable mug) who mentioned "new engine" - What did they say was wrong with it? So many things can create a ticking on the 300. Most are external to the block itself and can easily be changed or adjusted.

    Thinking of moving to the world of landy and getting a Defender 110

    You need to be one of two groups of people to own a 110 - Either - A) rich, or B) mechanically able You can be from both groups. But if you are in neither, you will run into troubles.

    Seat belt bolt/fitting kit

    Ive had some tube things (which are probably the spacers in your photo) knocking about here for ages, wondering what they were (they're part of my 110 300tdi station wagon, but I couldn't work out what) They must be somthing to do with the c post high level mount, as the lower belts are still...

    Rattling 300tdi engine

    Im assuming you mean longitudinal play, rather than rotational play, as it will be keyed away. Does the manual lever on the fuel lift pump still feel like it should do? I have a (real life) friend whos lift pump managed to shed its internal arm into the sump somewhere. Although manipulating...
