    Bloody dvla!!!

    Sometimes I could throttle them (anyone of them would do really :lol: ). So I apply for a V5 in my name saying to change it over to diesel from petrol too. A nice letter saying I'm a time served engineer and doing it myself and using a disco engine that I already own and have the V5 for the...

    right to left conversion

    Hi, The main reason LHD ones cost more is because of the big boom in importing them to USA. If you convert a RHD one it's not eligible to export to the US.

    Schutz gun cleaning and general wax tips.

    For cleaning my gun I wipe it down with petrol then fill a clean can with petrol and spray it till it runs clean and normally leave it soaking in a bucket filled enough to cover it with thinners or petrol.

    disco rear body Xmember

    How's it spam??? I've got it in the for sale section and I've got over 50 posts!!!! Surely if he needs road worthy bits cheap that helpful. Plus we're local to each other (once I'm back from my holiday) so we don't have to arrange £80 pallet charges for bits south of the border etc.

    disco rear body Xmember

    I'm in Aberdeenshire and breaking a Disco 1 with MoT. I put new track rod ends on it about 400 miles before I binned it on the ice. Basically most the bits are available from it......the only problem is if you're in a rush I'm in Egypt till the 30th Pm me for more details :) Paddy

    When did the ribbed roof stop on Defenders?

    My pre Defender 110 still has the 3 ribbed roof on it but I was wondering when they stopped. Was it in '91 when they actually started marketing them as Defenders?

    200Tdi Disco Conversion

    Follow the Glencoyne guide and it'll be a piece of **** (engine mount debarkels not included). I've been reading on and off for a year now and now I'm doing it it's all slotting into place (even bits that made no sense just reading about it). All prep works done now, loom sorted, turbo...

    200Tdi Disco Conversion

    It would appear after seeing a different pic of a 200Tdi conversion on here I've been a total tool!!!!! The engine mount would fit far better if I tried to fit it on the correct way and not upside down DOH!!!! Silly twunt! Lol

    200Tdi Disco Conversion

    I'm just in the final throws of getting my 110 finished but have just had a wee hitch. I'm following the Glencoyne how to so am reusing my 2.5 petrol engine mounts and new oem rubbers. I've refitted the LHS engine mount and went to refit the right side but it catches on a wee blanking flange...

    What do you use your defender for ?

    Mine when done will be used for a bit of towing, getting about in (especially once winter arrives), ferrying the hounds around and for lamping from once I get my lamp fitted. All I need to do now is actually fit, plumb in and MoT it and I should be laughing.......

    Can You Fit Central Locking To A 110?

    As the title.... Is there a cost effective way to fir central locking to an '87 110? I have a scrap Disco too so could recycle bits from there if possible. Cheers, Paddy

    Which Oil Seal Manufacturer?

    Well today I received an EER2532G seal and a few other bits from Barry 4x4 (great service as usual :) ). It's an Allmakes one but has the all important G suffix so all should be good (I hope!!) Cheers for your input guys

    Fuel Line Non Return Valve

    I am I was just thinking of adding it while I was in about the guts of the fuel system. :)

    Fuel Line Non Return Valve

    Surely if the rest of the fuel lines are 8mm that'll give the correct flow rate? Do they actually need one?

    Fuel Line Non Return Valve

    I'm thinking of installing a non return valve on my soon to be 200Tdi 110 (2.5 petrol ATM) as the fuel lines are kippered. The ones I've been looking at say Petrol or low pressure fuel system. I'll be fitting it as close to the tank as possible and running new 8mm copper lines from the tank on...
