My alternator seems to have failed. My rev counter is no longer retreating the dash battery warning light is permanently lit. However my volt metre (just the standard Land Rover so not an irate) show increased voltage when the engine is running. Engine off: Engine running: With the...

My fuel pump has decided it does want to have fuel on the inside any more. I appear to be pumping fuel out of the cover circled below. Is this something that I can repair myself or is this a terminal failure and I need to send it off for rebuild.

The mother in law has just bought a disco 5 to replace her early disco 4 and is now worried about security on it as several land rover have been stolen form her village recently in car key burglaries. I know this will have been asked before but I am looking for security recommendations to give...

My disc handbrake conversion is becoming troublesome, I do not know if it needs stripping and cleaning or if it’s not set up correctly. But it only Seems to keep Adjustment for a few weeks and then stops working again. As such I am looking at the options to revert back to a drum brake setup...

First question is about bleed nipples. what is the best material for them to be made from, I can find brass, mild steel and stainless steel versions. Which one is best for long term usage? Second question is more specific. I am not new to rebuilding calipers, and have done it several times...

I have been toying with the idea of fitting the military style front bumperette to my series for a long time. I came across this picture on Facebook market place which is the same colour as mine and it has reignited the question, if I did fit I would be looking at the bare galv finish the same...

Feel free to say this is a foolish idea, I am spitballing here before comiting to anything. I have a discovery 200tdi with a 100amp alternator, unlike the defender 200tdi, the alternator sits on a sperate belt, the setup works very well but I need to tension the belt every 3 months ish. I have...

I have just noticed the rear door hinges on my 110 are not the same. They function and work correctly with no issues. But I am hoping to get a pair at Malver next week to rebuild and paint so I can continue using the vehicle. Are the hinges supposed to be different? Does it matter which style I...

Can anyone help with how to align the door top on split doors. I am happy with how to align the door as a whole, an although in the pictures below the alignment of the hwole door is not perfect that is not the issue. I have same issue with all doors but the one pictured is the worst. The door...

I will just keep updating this post with new parts as I get around d to photographing them. Most are good used that have been removed from donor vehicles or my vehicle when upgrading, some parts are new these will be clearly specified. Collection preferred from Warwick. But am happy to post at...

Are the rear door check straps interchangeable or does it depend on the rear door you have? I currently have the early style manual release latch check strap on my rear door Can this be swapped for the later style torsion spring check strap or do I need to swap the door over for it to fit in...

Defender truck cab roof only, medium sized dent in one corner, but not as bad as most. Collection from Warwick. Price: £30

Probably as expected having disturbed the fuel filler hose (NTC2337) to sap the tub the joint between the hose and the tank is now leaking. I have retightened the jubilee clip to no difference. so now have a couple of questions before I buy a new one: Firstly only because I am at work and it is...

Anybody know where I can get a six light roof light bar? The one I currently have on the 110 is an RDX one but they do not look to be available anymore. Want one for the project and am looking to get it now as I have a pile of stuff to get blasted and hot dip galved where there is a minimum...

A pair of B-pillars removed from my ‘88 station wagon. Replace with a galv YRM section. The sill and c-pillar were virtually non existent but the b-pillar is still solid. Free to collect from Warwick if of any use to anyone. If not will be going for scrap next weekend.

On the door that came with my station wagon the rear wiper (fancy I know) has an arm with a wiper fitting I have no seen before. Rather than the arm being hooked to slide work as plastic clip into the end of the arm has a pin that clips to the wiper. Is this normal or has a different arm been...

Sent to me by supplier in error instead of the seatbelt I ordered. Told me to dispose of it rather than send it back. Free to collect for any one interested. Can post at your cost. If no interest it will get thrown away.

I am in the market for a new rear door. I have already replaced all of my other doors (split door) with galv framed versions from SP panels. I am now looking for what the best option is for a rear door. First question is later style one piece door or older style two piece, I have only ever had...

Quick favour to ask someone with a 110 station wagon please. Having just converted mine I am now out the country so cannot measure my own, but I want to get some stable matting ordered so it is here when I get home to put in. The footwell and the rear tub. Could someone please measure the...

Posted on my station wagon thread as well. I am converting my hard top to a station wagon and have now fitted the rear body to my chassis. The rear door gap on the station wagon tub appears to have splayed outwards. Yesterday when just resting on the chassis the rear door catch was about 20mm...
