Thanks. This is the 3rd engine, as far as the previous owner knows. It's a 200 Tdi. Older son is 14 and for his D of E bronze skill is learning to dismantle + rebuild an Austin 7 engine so he will soon be significantly more qualified than me to work on it himself. I'm quite good at taking...

Hello. Why am I here? When I got home from work the other day my son said "we should buy a Land Rover". I'm not entirely sure why I agreed with him, but it seemed like a good idea, and we now have a 1986 110 CSW on the drive. It's happened rather more quickly than I expected but based on my...

I had a look inside. On the right there was a rod with a threaded end dangling down inside the door. I fished it out and poked it through the fabric and screwed the Cortina button on and now it works. So I can lock and unlock the right door. On the left I wasn’t so lucky. The dangling rod...

Yes, here’s a pic. Maybe if I buy a Cortina it will come with the Defender door lock parts?

Thanks. They probably looked like that in 1986 but I think quite a bit has been changed since then. At the moment there is nothing there -- just a blank area of the door card with the covering material stretched over it. It feels like there's a hole for a button instead of a big plastic slider...

1986

I've rummaged in the box of parts and found these metal rods. But all of them are different. I think the one on the right is part 24 from this diagram. The other two look like they're supposed to have a lock button screwed onto the end. But if that's the case then I'd expect them to be a...

Yep. There's already a hidden kill switch and a basic steering wheel lock. So that's a start. I've got a motorbike anchor on the front of my house but if I chain it to that I will probably forget and pull the wall down!

That's great -- thank you. I spent ages searching for diagrams but didn't find that site.

Brilliant, thanks. The whole area where the buttons are supposed to come out has been covered over with leather/vinyl so I will have to poke something through and see what's inside. I take your point about not removing the door card if possible but I have a hunch taking them off might be easier...

Hi, everyone. This is my first post as the new owner of a 110 CSW. I realised after getting home last night that there's no way to lock the rear side doors. The button (or whatever you call the thing you push/pull to engage the lock) is missing. The box of bits that came with the car apparently...
