hello all ,
as some of you may know , i'm building the "eurover 110" , one question i can't solve at the moment is do i go with a 3bolt steering box , or is a 4 bolt really a beter option .
i have the (used) original 3 bolt from a french LHD 110 (probebly around 1984) , and i have a 4 bolt from a salvage yard , (should be from a discovery 2) both need rebuilding , but wich is the better/stronger option.
i know the main difference is a brass bush in the 3 bolt , vs a bearing in a 4 bolt.
what about the hosses , the engine is a 200tdi (defender spec) , do hoses exist for a 200tdi pump to a 3 bolt ? or do i need to get a custom hose made (or swap to a older steering pump).
so , i need some advice 🙂

The first time you get bogged because you forgot to engage them when leaving the road you'll realise why so many people don't like them.
There are benefits for people who use their 4x4 on tarmac only, but the benefits for vehicles that work regularly are outweighed by the negatives.
the Belgian army had a really good solution if you only drive on tarmac , remove the whole front axle and drive shaft, put a rigid beam axle in place and fit a limited slip rear diff .....👀

and don't forget the huge sill panels ... ( look's a bit strange to me ...)

on these older caravan's the relay's tend to get dirty/corroded , you can clean up the contact's with a small piece of sandpaper . (but do turn the power of )

new tanks only have a very thin layer of primer/paint

Do I need to start another thread ?
i don't think you have to , as far as the vehicle goes , it would not be my first choice , since it's a converted serie's , who knows wat parts are used (and it's up to you to find them if you have to do some maintenance ....)
(don't know the rules in ireland , but in the Netherlands this is no longer a classic vehicle (you can only change 1 part of either chassis-engine-body ).

your looking for a 200/300tdi defender , and want us to have a opinion on a v8 serie's ....(or wat's left of it )

Lots of new hgv now have disc brakes as do new semi trailers, yes the are still air operated, well the air pressure keeps the brakes off, so reducing the air puts the brakes on, a air braked vehicle with no pressure in the system/tanks will not release brakes until sufficient pressure is built up.
not quit right , hgv and trailers use airbrakes (most use disc , but on some applications drums are still used) , the system is split in 2 sections , 1 is for parking and emergency braking (as in een air hose ruptered or a compressor failure) this system uses air to keep the brake off (normally around 8 bar , but newer trucks use higher pressure's) , in the emergency/parking brake cilinder is a huge spring, this put's the brake on if there is no airpressure.
second system is the normal brake , this uses a cilinder witch uses air pressure to put the brake's on , the 2 cilinders are put together in 1 unit for ease of fitting/space
not all axle's use the dual cilinder , only enough axle's to get a sufficient parking brake force (so the vehicle will stay on it's place when loaded with 40 ton on a incline with no airpressure.

hello all ,
i looked here : http://new.lrcat.com/#!/1228/7048 but i think my old eyes play up , i can't find the LT230 on it ... if i look at the gearbox section i only find the normal gearboxe's ....
i'm looking for the parts manual for a LT230 for a TD5 gearbox (i think it's a 43D box)

bringing up a old thread , is there anything new in this market ?
it's been 3 years ....since last replay

i would try the following:
56 - feed for your headlight system
56a - to your dim headlight system (relay or direct to lights)
56b - to your hig beam system (relay or direct to lights)
30 - feed from ignition to power the relay (or if you want to use the high/low beam option use a direct 12v from battery)
s - to your push button (to ground)

I have been driving my '88 110 for many years. However, one of my bugbears was various bits and pieces of my dashboard breaking off with the constant shuddering over rough terrain. After you replace parts often enough you start getting irritated. I looked around for options on overcoming my problem. Raptor products were reasonably priced by they did not go far enough and I felt they were just patchwork for a fundamentally flawed product. I then found a company called : www.slk4x4custom.com. Their complete replacement dashboard was completely different and innovative. I have since bought and installed one and am very happy with the result.
that must be the worst looking dashboard i have seen in years ....
