Thinking of selling my 110 but it's not easy working out its value as its fairly unique. Anyone care to give a rough estimate? 1996 300tdi 110 140k miles Galv chassis Galv bulkhead One previous keeper from new All in good order, runs really well, some usual patches of body corrosion where...

Instead of the original single spray jet, I've tapped into the windscreen washer pipe behind the dash, and now have two pipes with one going to each wiper arm which sprays water as each arm wipes. Originally attached to wiper spray arms from a Peugeot, but now the pipes are just cable tied to...

Here They are expensive now. You also need the hose that screws onto the plug. The plug replaces your standard drain plug, and has a protective cap. If buying, check the size of your existing drain plug as there are two sizes available. Despite being expensive, every time I drain the oil from...

I replaced the sump plug with a drain plug, basically a valve that you thread a pipe onto to drain the oil, this opens the valve and lets the oil drain out through the pipe into a container. No more gushes of oil down the arm.

Is that supposed to help it pass, or just neglect on the owners part?

Yep, look like I missed that off my list above, I'll edit it now.

It scored 2.8, against a pass mark of 3.0 I shall keep it in more regular use, for its been mostly sat on the drive for the last few months. I took it from that state straight to the MOT station which is 2 mins from my house, so no wonder it failed.

It passed. All hail the mighty LeadFarmer and his trusty 110 :D Thanks for everyones advice, much appreciated.

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind next time.

Well thankfully it's running fine

Changed the fuel filter on my 1996 Defender 300tdi today. All went well, filled the new filter with diesel and smeared oil onto the rubber seal, and engine runs fine. However, when loosening the bleed nut and priming the fuel through with the lift lever, I didn't get any diesel coming out of...

Well the re-test is tomorrow morning and I will give it another hard drive before hand. So far I have done the following.. 1) Added Millers Ecomax injector cleaner to a tank of BP Ultimate diesel. 2) Changed the oil and filter 3) Changed the fuel filter 4) Changed the air filter 5) Given it...

Not so much now, only when initially flooring the accelerator pedal. Changed the oil & filter today. I’ll do the fuel filter on Monday when I’m back from my wet caravanning weekend in Harrogate, then take it for drive and give it some wellie.

Thanks for the info, any chance of a photo of the parts that need adjusting please? Searched YouTube but didn’t find it. I’ll try some more.

My 1996 Defeder 300tdi 110 doors don't close properly, but enough to stop them flying open. Suddenly for this years MOT they picked up on this. I've pulled the rubber seals off ready for the re-test, and will put them back on afterwards. I've kept meaning to sort it out, but never got around to...

I had the fuel pump tweaked years ago to give a bit better performance, maybe as its been stood a while I need to return it to its original setting for the MOT. They guy who did it showed me how it was done, but as it was years ago I have forgotten. I recall removing a cap and then doing minor...

I've no idea, Im trying the easy stuff first, injector cleaning fluid, oil & filters change, accelerator adjustment etc and will see how the free re-test goes. If still a fail, what might be the likely remedy? Fuel pump tweak?

Would the adjuster normally be allowed to be unthreaded right back, once new shoes are fitted?

I'm quite sure there will probably be other leaks.

Yep. Unfortunately so.
