Hadn't even managed to get the screen to refresh whilst android and windows battled it out over a usb cable, sorry but pic is now attached to above post, thanks for looking.

Sorry guys, just noticed picture failed to load, appears to be a problem dragging it off my phone, I'll post again when I manage to get it off!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Anyone tell me what this light means, can't see it in the manual, whilst sorting the failed sidelight telltale I discovered that the lampholder is wired but no lamp in the holder. Is this just a case of the loom being standard? I'm not even sure what it does - oil temp, transmission oil...

Well, I've just moved. Got a 300Tdi Defender 110 to replace a 300Tdi Disco1 (which is rotting away from the underside up). The Defender really is great and the extra boot space is a big bonus but it is true that for comfy ride and a few creature comforts many of us have become suseptable to...

Yes, that would do it - oh and really oddly the link didn't show up in the post but does as text when I quote in the reply. - note you have now sorted.

OK, that makes sense, I obviously missread something else earlier as I'd got it into my head that the FDR value was the total ratio Engine output: wheels. Whilst on gthe subject is it right that 90s and 110s have diferent transfer box ratios?

Pics (not taken by me) of the new motor as requested (although I can't recall which thread I was asked on, sorry)

--EDIT - Title should read "Final Drive Ratio" (dont know where the n came from) -- Earlier I was reading a few posts on here about using R380 boxes out of a Disco on a Defender. It reminded me that it is the Transfer box that has different ratios in the vehicles. However Landrover...

Defender now purchased. Details to follow when I have more time to post and sort ome pics.

I must be honest I just ignored this post completely as "missplaced" or slightly spam like. Anyway, i may be sorted if I can resolve the HPI check that sugests the manual 96 110 I'm looking at had a secret life as a 7 speed automatic box!?! (see...

I am in the process of trying to buy a 300Tdi Station Wagon and having provisionally agreed a few things I have just HPI checked it and a strange thing has shown up - I can assure you that what is there is a standard manual box, yet acording to the people at HPI the vehicle has a 7 speed...

Hi. Well I (sorry that should be WE) am tentatively looking at replacing my Disco 300Tdi with a 110. It needs to be the 5 door for easy child transport and be in a reasonably tidy condition. I have a local specialist who can carry out some work if needed but at the end of the day the budget...

The repairs charged my insurers for labour removing "rusted bolts" to change the front indicator when my front corner was getting sorted a couple of years ago. They then charged them for new bolts to put it back in!

Sound ssensible, I've just picked up a sample of the signs and fortunately they hppen to be very good size match for the side windows in the boot :D and wont loose me to much vision so plan A - dab some tape in each corner and stick them inside the window. The picture I'd seen previously made...

OK, About to be provided with a pair of magnetic door signs IDing me as an "official vehicle" for an event. The signs are newly introduced this year. As the same callsigns are used every year but often asigned to different people the signs have to be magnetic so they will transfer between...

That sounds good, I'll PM you now.

Following a recent bonnet catch failure on Thelwall Viaduct (main catch failed, the wind ripped the secondary catch straight through the bodywork and planted the bonnet on the windscreen at 70!) I'm in the market for a replaceent for my 300Tdi Disco. Since looking around I've discovered some...

An unfightable argument I supose.

and theres me thinkin I may get people on my side on here! :D
