Thanks 'flat'. Any simple fixes for either of those two problems? According to the engine oil dipstick... there's a touch too much engine oil. Would that cause the 'running on its own sump oil via the turbo' issue? If so, I guess I need to drain some of the engine oil.

Trying to recommision my neglected Defender after a good many years sitting idle (the Defender... not me... well, not much). It now starts... but it seems to want to rev to the max (and I'm not awfully keen on that - as I suspect the old timing belt may object). Had a quick look under the...

Many thanks for all the advice... you lovely people. Spent an entertaining Christmas afternoon... fitting new battery... unsticking the bonnet... checking oil and water... removing rocker cover and pouring a bit of oil over the top of the engine.. and finally starting it. Took a good few turns...

Many thanks for all the advice. Removed the grille... and released the bonnet. Thanks.

Thanks again. :-)

Thanks. I'll give that a try. When you say 'spray grease'... what sort of product (any recommendations of brand / type etc?)? Is WD40 suitable... or is it too thin? Thanks.

My poor neglected 110 (1994 vintage... and hasn't been used for many years) doesn't seem to want me to open its bonnet. The bonnet release pull in the cab won't move... seems to be stuck solid (rust??). I've tried spraying WD40 on the metal stem that I assume attaches to the cable... but still...

Thanks Mick.

Thanks for the info. Is there any easy way to unstick the clutch?

Why would that be? Clutch issues?

I've got an old LR 110 300TDI that hasn't been used or even started for over 10 years. Any advice on precautions or stuff I should do to it before trying to fire it up? New battery will be installed. I assume diesel fuel doesn't 'go off' like unleaded petrol does. (???) Is it likely that the...

An Oil Wrestling Club??? You have seen through my cunning plan. Land Rover? What Land ROver?

That's just under £2 per toe.... bargain!

Thanks for the help.... cheap stuff it is - for 5 mins - then decent stuff. Thanks

Many thanks for the advice... looks like Clarks and Halfords. thanks

I'm gearing up to do some regular maintenance on my 300tdi, 110 Defender and I need to find a source of a decent jack and axle stands. Any recommendations on size, type, weight capacity, max height etc for a jack and stands? Thanks

Hi, I've got a Defender 110 300tdi that has missed its regular oil change with regard to elapsed time. Generally, I'd aim to change oil at least once a year, regardless of mileage. This vehicle has hardly been used in recent years and has probably only done 1,000 since its last oil and filter...

Hi, just joined the forum tonight... because I'm eager to learn more about Land Rovers and how to get the best out of my old Defender 110. Look forward to conversing with you guys.
