Bit the bullet today and opened up the transfer box, everything looked in order. So after a liberal squirt of GT85 and some wiggling all seems to be fine, I’ve finally managed to select the lower range and lock the diffs. Very happy with myself even though I don’t really think I actually did...

The Bible has arrived at last. I didn’t realise hunting for parts could be so easy!

Following with interest as I’ve just started on my ‘85 110. Here’s a +1 for the 200TDi (although mine was fitted by the previous owner)

Cheers @Stanleysteamer Me being relatively new to mucking about with Landrovers I guess I was over thinking it.

So I’m with the family lying by the pool, Sun’s out, kids are having fun, wife’s reading her third book of the hols, all is at peace in our little world. Then I make an involuntary squeak and can barely control my excitement. Too late, she’s noticed and is now suspicious. What? She’s says, is it...

Lying here in France, drinking wine, eating cheese & catching some rays, my mind has wandered off to Landy land. Something I do need to sort is my stuck transfer box. It’s only ever been in high for a very long time (certainly longer than I’ve owned it) so of course it’s seized and won’t move...

Yeah she loves it and has named her/it “Vera” :rolleyes: And yes the V8’s do sound great, but this has had the inline 4 cylinder 2.5L 200TDi from a Disco fitted. It sounds equally cool imo when the turbo winds up! :cool:

Cheers, yes she’s reasonably tidy but just about everything needs something doing. The front passenger door in this photo is a prime example, the outer skin looks fine, but that’s all that’s holding the door together! And yes good spot, that’s a TR7, long gone I’m afraid.

@dag019 Yeah I have seen plenty bolted to the outside of the wheel, I was thinking that can’t be good. And a bit pointless too if you can’t actually use the door anyway? One I have liked the look of is the MaxxRaxx it bolts onto the tow ball and can clear a spare wheel...

Do any of you lot have any experience of, or recommendations for any rear mounted bike racks? The spare wheel mounted ones look tidy and easy to gain access to the back but does the extra weight damage the door hinges? Is it a safer bet to use a tow ball mounted version?

Cheers. I’ll try that on my PC when I get home as it doesn’t seem to work on my mobile (currently on holiday, bored, when I should be working on my one-ten) edit… sorted now, cheers

Cheers @Knappster yes I think visually she’s pretty original and yes I want to keep it that way. The previous owner had fitted the 200 TDi and loads of spot lights (2 fogs on the front, an a movable lamping spot mounted to the drivers side windscreen hinge and one off of the rear roof, plus a...

I’ve just said hi on your project thread before I saw this one. But it’s a nice original looking Landy. Just ripe for a sympathetic restoration. Cheers. Yes, I’ve started a build/restoration thread here...

Ok, so I guess I need to start somewhere & I’ve been pointed to this forum, so here goes! Three years ago my Mrs persuaded me it might be a good idea to make an offer on a neighbours Land Rover. The owner had recently passed away after a long term illness and the widow was torn between selling...

Hello, I’ve just joined this forum as I’m hoping I might get a bit of encouragement and advice along the way whilst restoring our family 1985 110 County. I’m relatively new to Land Rover ownership but not to restoration vehicles, although to be honest my strengths are more towards paint/body &...
