Ah I see. The problem is, I've had a lot of interest from people wanting my Landy to export to the USA and I think they need to have the chassis stamped with a number but not entirely sure.

There are hand held pin dot peen machines that can scribe the number into the chassis but finding someone with one is near impossible. I've seen them working at a seminar I went to once but in reality, not many people have them knocking about, as they are quite a specialised bit of kit.

Thought not

On the inside of the windscreen? On 1988 110?....i haven't seen one, where about?

Hi, everyone. Does anyone know where I can have my chassis stamped in the South East of England, on a replacement galvanised chassis, Defender 110? I can't for the life of me find a number anywhere and the plate in the engine bay matches the v5 but no number on the chassis. I don't want a...

Hi all, I was just wondering about chassis swapping. I have a 1988 110 and has been rebuilt by someone else on a galvanised chassis. The problem is, there is no number stamped on the new chassis. There is a plate in the engine bay with the chassis number on it and it matches the v5 but I can't...

Thanks a million, that's a relief lol

Oh thank god... Phew hahaha Is it meant to be like that? As it has thread and seems as though something is meant to be in there. Thanks for that

Was under my Landy today, sorting out the earth cable and saw this.... Please don't tell me that, that hole is the drain plug hole for my gearbox oil??? Please. Because if it is, I have no idea how long it's been missing.

Yeah I've read that and was also wondering if I have a bit of air in the fuel line. I tried bleeding it by undoing the screw on the fuel filter and then used the lift pump.... It was my first time and yes, I did get a face full of diesel hahaha but at least I know it works lol

If anyone was interested to know or just keep it in the back of your mind, incase anyone has the same issue. I got in it this morning after cleaning the earth and adding another, it started on the button from cold for the first time. Still a big puff of smoke but first turn of the key. Thanks...

Thank you one and all. The earth from Battery to chassis was very old and has most probably never been off or cleaned, so took it off and cleaned all surfaces down to metal again.... It was pretty rusted and full of gunk. The earth from the engine to the chassis was the same but as hard as I...

Hello again, I have another quick question and as always, will appreciate and welcome any and all advice. My 300, 1988 110 struggles in the morning. It sounds like, when your battery is on the way out, very slow and laboured, just about turning over but then then suddenly it bursts into life in...

Top tip, thanks Mate, will do.

Thought you might be interested Mate. After hours of fault finding with my trusted multi meter, it wasn't a faulty relay at all. Tested it "properly" this time and the relay is actually fine. For some reason, there was a connector with four wires going in, just before the relay and a 10cm...

Yeah I think there are. The thick brown one is the main power and the thick yellow one seems is the feed to the glow plugs.... I assume the white one is from the ignition and the other thi ner one is a earth. I have ordered a 4 pin 30 amp, fused relay and some new connectors and will give it a...

Thanks Tottot, I have tried to check everything and it does seem like the relay has gone. Do you know if I'd have to get the same relay or can I change it for a simpler one? Also, this one cost 35 quid, where a four pin 30amp relay is about 8 quid and if it keeps blowing, then it could work out...

Hi everyone, me Again.... Sorry. I have sorted quite a few bits out and the next job is, the glow plug relay. I find it (300tdi) struggles to start when it's cold but fine thereafter. It's a 1988 110,so don't have the glow plug light but have a choke light, which does not illuminate when I...

That does sound easier than I thought, so will defo give it a go on the weekend Mate, thanks a million for the help. I will let you know what I find as soon as I do it.

Sounds easy lol. I do have a meter and it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out how it works.... Can't I just remove one of the glow plugs and see if it glows when I hold the ignition on the sprung stage? Just trying to negate trying to figure out which part of the relay to test or which wire...
