    Windscreen woes

    Hi folks got a problem with fitting a windscreen (Defender 110); took the old one out, one cut with the stanley knife and peeled the rest out it was so perished. Got a decent genuine LR seal and a nice warm day, followed all the info, string, lube, and so on and in it all goes. Except it doesnt...

    Imobilised and flat battery

    Isn't it in the back of the sounder somewhere? it must have one in there somwhere or you could just take the battery out with out having the alarm go off if you dont do the ignition on - off - disconnect within 15sec bit

    Imobilised and flat battery

    how d'ya do that then? Neither of them do anything at the mo. Im guessing the alarm has lost the plot when the battery died, it didnt even make a sound when i opend the door, I thought the alarm had its own reserve battery?

    Imobilised and flat battery

    Evening All Went to start the landy this morning - dead as a dead thing. Got home, tried the spare battery brings it all back to life but wont start, imobiliser light flashes but everything else ok. Its been sitting for about a week, battery is less than 6months old, keyfob batteries less than...

    How does the diff lock switch work?

    thanks guys - so what your saying is Im being over entusiastic with the diff lock and even though I may have taken it back off, I've not done it soon enough so theres some wind up in the transmission and only when that wind up has been released does the switch move and the light go off...

    How does the diff lock switch work?

    Hi All I have searched but not quite found the answer. The diff lock seems to work OK all the linkages are nicely cleaned and greased but the dash light stays on after the diff lock is off, sometimes for a minute or two sometimes hours. A couple of hundred yards in reverse always clears it...

    Clutch: master or slave?

    been so cold and wet and dark by the time Ive got home this week I ordered the whole lot, master, salve pipes, fexi, gaskets the whole shooting match. All fitted and back up and running even though it never made it above zero all day. Got all the bits on the bench, its the flexi thats gone...

    Clutch: master or slave?

    Hi all bit of a clutch problem, first thing in the morning theres no clutch, its stuck in gear. Pumping the pedal helps then I drive away. A sharp dab on the clutch is ok but holding it down, at the lights say, it'll slowly start to creep forwards as the clutch drops back in. That would...

    Footwell Heater Vents

    Excellent pics, just a question; how far should the footwell flaps move? Mine just seem to move from being tight shut to not quite shut, I can push them back to give a decent gap by hand but not from the dash lever. (or while driving:))

    HD Rear Cross Member from Pressbrake

    Got mine late last year, couldnt get the Landy to Clive, or do that much welding myself. Took the whole lot to our local guys who were no end impressed with the whole thing said it was easy to fit and probably the best they'd seen. Dont know about stopping off school perhaps put in detention...

    Indicator Canelling

    Check the earths to each bulb, take them out one at a time and see what happens that may narrow the area to seach in then clear all the crap out of the trailer socket (if you have one) and try re-seating the relay or swap that out. Some relays (citreon for example) only flash at the right speed...

    Indicator Canelling

    Hi All the prongs on mine are a spring clip that nips tight onto the back of the wheel so unclips and moves so it could be any where in relation to the wheel angle. Never use the steering lock either -yet but as it looks like its going to get tested .... anyone know if its a requirement to...

    Indicator Canelling

    Cheers Richard, sorry for the late reply some old biddy was having some sort of party last weekend and with all the "excitement" never got back on. Got mine all horizontal but it still flicks off far to early turning right. As an aside, where does your steering lock come on. Mine locks the...

    Indicator Canelling

    Hi All Does anyone know how the indicator canceling should be set up. On the rear of the wheel is a two pronged clip that links to the blue collar on the shaft. If the wheels are set straight ahead should this be vetical or horizontal, or somewhere between and does it matter which way the...

    Steering Lock

    Hi All Just a question about the steering lock... All the steering is setup right, caster, camber tracking and so one, even the wheel is on staight but to get the steering lock to engage the wheel needs to be about 160 degrees to the right. Then it locks fine. In "normal" cars this is...

    Light problem

    On my 110 theres a diode in the loom that runs through the right hand side rear wheel arch. Its moulded in to the loom with tape and a sod to find about the size of a large fuse, but that would give those symptoms I think. It could well have been damaged\destroyed if a dodgy trailer has been...

    Dim Dip -can I bin it

    My 2000 (W plate) 110 CSW has all the wiring for dim dip lighting, as it was only required for a few years can I remove the whole lot and go for what was and is now normal. Looks like the relay\resistor is a bit dodgy as it only works intermittently. Removing it all is a better and cheaper...

    Rear Cross members for Defender and Series

    Great photo's, very helpful, so you get the x-member plus 4 shaped "extension" plates and 4 flats to join it all to the rear end? I guess its two straight cuts through the chassis level with the end of the existing x-member to get the old one off, looking like a the best idea yet! Just had a...

    Rear Cross members for Defender and Series

    Mine needs doing, but its a loooong way to Essex, so I'll be looking at someone local to weld it all up (Landy is on a sorn anyway till this is done) on the picks from Moorlo it looks like there are short extensions -just how long are these, or is literally just the back C section x-member? The...
