    Front Roof Vent Scoop

    It's mainly for a trip to Morocco, the front vent flaps work well but was thinking, something higher up on your face would be good. Thinking of a retrofit safari roof as well.

    Front Roof Vent Scoop

    Being inspired by 'Tom Sheppards Expedition Guide', I'm thinking about fitting a front 'rally type' roof vent scoop to my 110. Plenty are available on ebay, and I believe you use Austin Mini round dash vents on the inside. Question is has anybody done this? & how do you keep the water out?

    Towing with adjustable height towbar

    I've got a double pin slider on mine and it still rattles, just not as bad! Get used to it. I have! Oh and when I've got my sankey on the Nato hitch it's mental :D

    centre box or not

    Had the same scenario last year on my 110 200Tdi, removed the centre box and replaced it with a stainless bypass pipe (available from Britpart dealer), it was good quality (for a change) and replaced the rear section with a genuine parts one with the small can. It accelerates better and does...

    Mud flap options...

    On the rears put a small hole on the bottom middle of the rubber and loop around a cable tie on each. Next time you go off-road tie them both up with a bungee rope on to the bodywork- simple ;)

    Lot of Bad paint to remove - Help!

    Painted a ex-MOD 110 hardtop a last month, it took me two weeks sanding with an electric DA, used 60grit pads followed by 180grit, for a nice finish. It's the only way of doing it properly. Invest in a good rubber dust mask, that infra-reflective nato paint sounds nasty stuff!

    Best place to advertise??

    Advertised mine last week in Gumtree, ebay and Autotrader. Autotrader was expensive but sold it, in fact I could have sold it three times! :)

    Headlamp full beam blowing fuse

    Hi all, seeking some advice, on my 1992 110 200tdi, headlamp side, dip all work normally but as soon as the full beam is on for a few minutes it blows the LH full -beam fuse. I upgraded the headlamps to clear ones with nitebreaker lamps after this fault and cleaned all connections and checked...

    110 Ex-MOD Camper, a few questions

    If you're going to the trouble of removing the hardtop, take the cappings off and get them galvanised. On early models this has already been done. I saved a lot of money and fitted a VSR (voltage sensitive relay) and a pair of Numax batteries, I've got a cheap to buy volt meter from a boating...

    Bulbs

    fit H4 Osram nightbreakers, they turn night into day. If you have sealed beams replace them with 'crystal clear' headlamp units 'E4' marked off ebay, they are not much more expensive and not only work better but give a much more modern look. Worth cleaning up the earth connections as well :D

    Defender temperature gauge problems :(

    Temperature gauge on the landy works very simply, a regulated 10v positive to the gauge and then the other connection goes to the sensor which is earth (variable resistance, depending on how hot it is) Unscrew the instrument binnacle and check the voltage also run a bypass wire direct from the...

    Noisekiller bellhousing blanket

    I've picked up a unused lead-lined LT77 bellhousing blanket. It is made to wrap around in a cone shape and attach on to the other end by stitched on velcro. Question is what is the best way to fit it, do I need to remove the panels inside the cab and put it through there? Looked at engine bay...

    loss of power

    when was the fuel filter change? Worth checking the fuel lift pump (take outlet house off and turn it over or manually pump it, to check fuel is coming out), I've replaced one on every landy I've owned!

    LED Bulbs for VDO Gauges?

    thanks, like you say they're smaller than the Landy ones. Will just have to try around, like you say. If all else fails, I will try the dealer:eek:

    LED Bulbs for VDO Gauges?

    I've got a set of 1980's VDO gauges for oil press/temp, Air temp and coolant temp I'm going to fit in the 110. These are fitted to Audi 80 and MK1 Golfs and readily available on Ebay. Question is were do you get the bulb holders and LED bulbs, if they are even available? Want to do this to match...

    Stainless exhaust 110 200Tdi

    surely the main restriction is the middle box, that's why there are upgrade straight pipe replacements? If I leave the small back box on it wouldn't be loud then? Checked with Rimmer Bros and my model is no longer available, but by heck they are expensive for the other models in stock:eek:

    Stainless exhaust 110 200Tdi

    The Allisport intercooler comes with long pipes attached, so you can use your existing pipework, It sits in front of your rad and fills the whole space, you have to do away with the 2 slam panel supports, I fitted military bonnet catches and did away with the crap bonnet cable pull catch.
