I have thought of that. I am quite scientifically minded too, so it is a possibility. The main problem I have is getting hold of used oil! All potential sources so far investigated already give/sell theirs to someone already. If I did, wouldn't the same problem still arise? I still need to...

My local biodiesel bloke does bio for £1 a litre, but down to 90p if I buy 500litres! I have found a 1000 litre IBC on fleabay but was wondering how I should get the bio out of the IBC and into the tank! I'm wanting to do this on the cheap, in order to make it pay for itself, so I was...

Cool. As I had hoped. Might even give it a bit more of a bang!:D Vulch

Right, I am an ar$e. Full of the joys of pouring 83p/l vegetable oil into my 200Tdi 110, I managed to drop the cap from the 6th 3 litre bottle into the fuel tank. C0ck.:mad: I am fairly new to landies, but I imagine there is a fuel filter in line somewhere? If it even gets that far? Will...

Well, the bonnet came off really easily after a bit of a wiggle of one of the nylon bush inserts. The spraying didn't go quite so well - I didn't get the coverage I had been told I would. 150ml of spray paint doesn't go very far:D ! As Rover Russet Brown is not a colour oft used these days, I...

Yup, got one of those rubber sleeve jobbys - just the answer I was looking for! I'll have a go! Thanks fella! Vulch

Bonnet doesn't match the rest of it, so needs to be painted! How do I remove the bonnet? Is it really as simple as it looks? I've undone the 'folding bonnet prop thing' and pushed it right up parallel with the windscreen. If I lift it, the nearside comes free, but the offside doesn't. Does...

Anyone got any idea where I might get hold of some door cards for a 1983-84 110? Both front doors. It's got slidy windows and lifty door handles - like Beneagles - above. Failing that, any one got any idea what they are supposed to look like? Might help me make something up... Vulch

Had a similar problem with my reversing light. Checked bulb - fine. Checked earth for bulb - fine. Located reversing switch on top of gearbox and it was not connected. Found the relevant wires dangling somewhere and connected them. Now we have 12V at the bulb! But whenever we actually connect...

Hmm. Seems my messaging thing isn't working. My email address is shj "at" bryanston'dot'co'dot'uk Some piccies would be great! Cheers, Simon

Yup, it was the clutch fork. Worn through its pivot. It took two of us three hours to do the lot. Me: fairly basic mechanical skills, Him: seemingly endless experience of working on Landrovers! How fantastically straightforward! (or that might just be me not really having a clue what was going...

Cool - piccies would be good - I'll pm you my email address.

Thanks fella. Hoping for a push rod still accessible from the slave cylinder hole then. What is the retainer you mentioned? I can see a clip on the diagram I have (AXETWISTER4X4_Defender_FastMovingParts.pdf) - is this the same thing? Cheers, Simon PS. if it has dropped down into the bell...

Right, I'm quite new on here - thanks for all your help so far! This is the first actual "ceasing to progress" problem I have had! 110 200TDi. Got it last week. 196K on it. Got home last night and whilst parking up, clutch pedal went hard when in reverse with pedal depressed. Turned engine...

Must confess that I am not as sophisticated as you guys and have been using my toolbox ;)

I'm in deepest darkest Dorset, so quite a way from sunny Dolgelleau! Got any piccies? How much do you want for them? Might even be worth the postage!

Cool. Both Paddock and mm4x4 have some. Slightly worried about fitting to my 110 as it doesn't seem quite standard:rolleyes:. 1984ish body on a 1993 chassis. Photo attached.Where do the bolts go? Will I have the right holes? Or will I be OK due to the everything fits everything landy...

Quote:"Main give-away re age might be the engine that is in it - post 1990 should be the 200tdi (or pos 300tdi)" It is a 200Tdi - documents say it's a 1993 and the guy I bought it off said that the back had been added on to turn a Water board truck into a SW. I was just rather worried that the...

Nice one :) So at least now I know what it is! I think I need to go and have a chat with the bloke I bought it off! Is it your 84 110? What does 4C stand for? Guessing SW is Station Wagon and D is Diesel... Looks quite a lot better than mine! Does someone still stock new parts for...

I have just bought what I thought was a 1993 110, but it appears that the body is from something else. I was thinking perhaps a series 2 or 3, although I may well be wrong. Photo attached. I might have some comeback if someone can give me an accurate date for the body. Cheers, Vulch
