Has anyone fitted a fuel pickup (in tank) filter to their diesel Landy? I’m replacing the fuel line soon and can see this being a worthy upgrade. Just wondering what others have used, if they have.

Other than a seizes bearing, is there anything else on the alternator that can fail and cause the pulley to lock-up? I’ve been trying to track down an intermittent engine issue (felt like engine braking + heavy steering) and finally think I’ve found the culprit. The alternator is about 5 years...

I’ve dropped the fuel tank to do some chassis repairs and I’ll be needing to replace the two captive bolts that hold the rear of the tank/cradle up. Is this possible without major cut-and-shut surgery? Trying to plan ahead for tomorrow, couldn’t work it out today! Cheers

Trying to get the old rot-box back in the road and I’m going to need to replace a few of the brake lines (front half I replaced with cupro-nickel a few years ago). Have you got any recommendations for an effective flaring tool which won’t brake (ba dum tss) the bank? I’m thinking along the lines...

Mine’s rotten, not worth repairing when a new cross member costs £240. Has any done this to their Landy (110 specifically)? It looks like there’s no need for the body to come off? Any tips more than welcome!

Sitting in the garage and they’re trying to tell me the hole in the passenger footwell is a fail as it’s structural. Never been a problem before! I had to explain the difference between a ladder frame chassis and a monocoque construction as they didn’t know the difference! I thing I’m going to...

Any recommendations for a reasonably priced (sub £150 ideally) DAB single DIN head unit for the old bus? Will I need a special aerial, or does the standard one work? I need to choose a Christmas present and my current unit is playing up, so a new one will be good. I only specify DAB as I used to...

…has certainly gone up. Yeah, yeah, this was built for the RAF to carry missiles, supposedly, but why on earth would you want this : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-defender-127-/124992540463?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 the seller does say “it’s...

A friend of mine, who is even more mechanically inept than I, has asked if I can give him a hand changing the front prop after he was quoted £925 by a garage! Is there anything I need to be aware of with this repair, before I begin? I’ve done ujs on my OneTen before, can’t imagine it’s much...

I’m fed up with guessing what the temperature is and after the HG change I want to be sure all the time! The current gauge has always read hot as it and the Disco sender are mis-matched. If I bought a Durite (or VDO) gauge, how do I know if I’d need an adapter? Just buy it and try I guess? I was...

F*ck sake! Don’t need this at the moment. The 200tdi has developed a chuffing noise and gases pulsing from rear of block at HG level, so I’m guessing the gasket has failed between cylinder four and rear of engine? Supposedly a fairly common area. I obviously need to get this sorted ASAP, but...

The check strap on the driver’s has decided to pop out of the runner/rail. It’s still attached to the door with the little lynch pin and r clip. I can pop the roller back onto the runner when the door is shut, but next time the door shuts it just drops out again. I can’t see what’s changed! It’s...

This may not suit everyone or every vehicle, but I swapped the orientation of the lower air vents so now they blow the air up towards your body rather than blasting your feet! I much prefer the warming effect during the colder months and mornings. Simply unscrew the two screws and rotate 180 and...

A friend is wanting to buy a used Brownchurch roof rack for his ‘83 OneTen. I know the roof gutters changed from steel to ally around “86. Did this affect the fitting of roof racks? I.e I know the Brownchurch would fit my ‘87, but would it fit his ‘83 the same? Thanks!

This looks like a nice one! Bargain for someone looking for one, it should cost a lot more than they want for it. o_O https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-109-Brownchurch-galvanised-roof-rack-/284214570831?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

Edit... if anybody read my previous comment about AF doubling my premium, ignore it! My apologies, I misread the documents this morning. (Still increased by £50ish though).

Land Rover Defender: 'It's the best ever - we just can't afford it' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-55008763 How much!!?? Say it was £150,000 I might be interested, but £200k!

I know this has been done before, but can’t seem to find the right info. Would anyone happen to know the code or colour code for TD5 110 SW front springs, normal duty. Thanks!

Anyone thinking of going this year? The date has moved from the 4th Oct to the 18th Oct, tickets bought online in advance.

Never noticed this one before! Beside the reverse light switch there is a fill/level plug. Is this for oil in the selector housing? If so, is it ordinary ATF? Thanks
