Trendkill110

Just taken delivery of a 2012 110 Utility. Oil has been topped up, only needed 1.5 litres or so. The tank is a fairly decent size located under the drivers seat. So, question is - How do I get it going? I've had a look underneath the truck and there is a pump on the LT230 that essential runs to a valve block under the passenger wing and there is also another pump located where the PAS box would be on a LHD vehicle. This pump has a small shaft going under the radiator grille to the winch. There are a couple of button switches on the dash. One says PTO RAM, the other LIFT / DRAG. There is a lever that pulls in and out located by the handbrake. A lever inside by passengers knee. Also controls on the passenger wing. Start the vehicle. Put the handbrake on. Pull the lever by handbrake out. Flick the PTO RAM switch on the dashboard then I've tried it in Neutral on the Hi / Lo and engaging in 1st gear. Neither the lever by passengers knee nor the levers on the wing are operating the winch however they move freely. Pretty sure I'm missing something simple! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance 👍🏻😁

Ped - Thanks 👍🏻

Just taken delivery of a 2012 110 Utility and wondering what oil to flush / top up the Superwinch H14W PRO tank with please. Thanks in advance folks 👍🏻

Hello folks, been a while! Has anyone done turbos on a 2019 D5 yet? Got a friend who wants his doing. Figured it'll be a case of dropping front subframe down but thought I'd ask about first. Thanks in advance! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Cheers guys. Concrete was poured around 4 weeks ago and I won't be painting it for another 2 weeks. I've had a few units over the years, will 100% be painting it before I move in. Currently on with the toilet block, some wiring etc.... Blanco - Do you have a link to the polyurethane you used? Landroveersforever - I've just seen this stuff in Screwfix catalogue, shall certainly keep it in mind. The plan is to wet the floor, sweep it off and allow to dry for a couple of days then I'll do the edges and 12" up the walls all round and use a couple of sweeping brushes to paint. Thoughts? Thanks again

Hello folks. After a long wait due to the pandemic I move into my new workshop in 2 weeks! It's just had a new concrete floor poured. It's not power floated. After a decent floor paint / coating to put down before the big move. What do folks recommend? Floor space is roughly 20ft x 60ft. Cheers! 😁

Cheers buddy! Any particular supplier?

Cheeky bump 😁

How is the heating element currently fitted to my XS seats? Is it a careful rip off and glue to new foam job? Cheers 😁

Hello.I have just bought a 2008 110 XS Double Cab.The drivers seat back has collapsed at some point so going to strip the seat and replace the foam.Am I correct in thinking this will do the job? TIA 👍🏻

All the above is really helpful - Thank you for taking the time to type it all up. Food for thought! I shall be making some phone calls / sending some emails this week to get a better grasp of things. Cheers dude 👍🏻

What are you guys using for diagnostics at home? NANOCOM / GAP IID ETC? I have a 2008 110 XS Double Cab. TIA 👍🏻

Will take a look at this tomorrow - Cheers 👍🏻

Si - Already spoken to Bowler regarding the arches and they still supply them so waiting now on a price. With this build I'm not bothered about articulation so was thinking of a decent +2" lift with +2" packers under the springs and keeping the anti roll bars / extending the bump stops, brake lines, wide angle props and corrected radius and trailing arms. Out of curiosity with the above setup mentioned, do you have any suggestions? How would you be going about it if you were to take on a project with this desired outcome? Regards Bob 👍🏻

Guys - Consider myself properly welcomed to the forum. Happy for the humour!!! 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻

Hello guys. Just picked the new truck up and going through a few niggles. Having an issue with the wipers on full speed. Figured a quick video might be the best idea (See YouTube video as too large to upload). Any ideas? TIA 👍🏻

They do look bloody lovely! Wonder if anyone ever parts with them 2nd hand?

https://www.4x4fabrication.co.uk I beg to differ, massively 😏

They do look nice after having a quick google!

Ideally after something a little quicker than 9 months and doesn't cost the earth. The XS interior will be up for sale at some point so it's just to protect it for a few months 👍🏻

I've not seen one up close. To be honest I've never had a 110 before, always 90s and a Tomcat. Hoping it'll look a beast! 🤞🏻

That'll be something for the winter months. Still need to source loads of bits for that conversion. I have a complete engine, Harrop H122 charger & tremec T56 manual box I removed from a VXR8 a year or two back... Only 90% on sticking it in the 110. Always fancied putting it in the 90 which is very much still in project state 😆

Hello folks. Picking up my new to me 2008 XS double cab on Saturday. It has the heated half leather seats and I'm wondering what people recommend to help protect them? Mainly as my German shepard will be jumping in to come to work with me, he's a hairy mutt 😆 Ideally looking to buy some tomorrow so they're here in time. Many thanks!

I've done some rough costs but not knowing where to source some parts as of yet is making it more difficult. Plus, going down the LS2 route once I've got the above done. Got engine and box sat on a pallet from another project. Not massively worried about costs!

Thanks buddy. Photos of donor vehicle will be added soon 😁
