hear this morning, that Defender production has stopped, something to do with a cooling problem with the transit engine,, and 40k transit are to be recalled ??

Les,, that sounds like the "cardboard" thing i was on about,, According to the drawings, it goes between the seal/bush etc on the mainshaft, and the brake drum, In my case, if you fit it, the mainsahft does not push fully back in, for the lock plate to located in the gear-case top !!

What you on Jim ??? ( thanks Mod ) Mm, 30 or 80/90 , got gallons of that, even fully synthetic 85/90, Les, yep, new bush and seal, will try the loctite

Guys, only quick one, Books says sae 30 oil, is this what everyone else is using ??? and 6 oz of it ! how full should it be ? A quick search through the archives does not reveal a answer !! Also, should the mainshaft oil seal pop out the casing as easily as mine, or 1 do you seal them in ? 2 or have i not got mine in far enough ? Also, in the Gen brake kit, their is a "cardboard" ring, which goes between the casing and the brake drum, if this the bit that keeps the oil seal in ?? if so, its too wide, ?? TIA

Must be the name,, Jim, James. all the same Sorry Pugwash, could not resist

Ahh, so not just me , thought i had missed a few !!!

Not good news Ian,, sorry to hear of the demise of the old V8, Hey-ho,, damage is done now !!!

Well, the 90 HT 07 model i road tested was in stornaway, and parked next to a 06 110 in Bonatti, The bonnet bulge may have made it look lighter !!

Dew Stornaway is so close to Bonatti, as make no difference, very slighter lighter !!

That would figure, even though his 110 is in Rimini

Come on them,, own up,, who voted white ???

Thanks Iain, found it, Yep, the program is GPS Gate, used that on the old XDA 11, works most of the time, but still wants a soft reset now and again !!

Chris,,the only non metallic colour would be white,, err, no, do not think so !! kiss of death, come resale time !! Too much used to the little extras now, to get a standard version,,

Vandal

If it was a job i had to do, no contest !! Mod the TD5 one to fit, unless you are working for below the min wage !!

Tell me about it, as you know the "the Les B mid life crisis" thing is Balsalt black !!

In a word Ralph,, Yes,, ?? where it went, gawd knows, hence the double thread ! D'oh

If you had a choice of colour for a new 110 XS Defender, what would it be ?? Input required please

Steve, or buy a new 07 model 110,, Jumped from old to new type, definitely improved seats

The Ltd editions were only for the 03 event, i tend to agred with kev it not the But this is !!

As Mo says Les,, I have a set of BFG's on rims, you can borrow for the trip

A few thing's that do not add up ,, with that so called G4 7 seats !! ,,,(head pads still fitted, as far as i know, all were 5 seats, so retro fitted ?? wrong wheels,,, Reg number is wrong, so must have been brought back into the UK, and had a age related plate put on A lot of the 03 event cars were US or south african spec, so no cats, etc, and the wrong ecu's so iffy to get a MOT A load of the original ones were sold to Gott, on the understanding, were for export sale only A lot of the cars had the bits removed !! this one has no winch, all the door/wing plates gone, alloy G4 plaques,

Sorry David,, that's made my day

So glad to hear you were no underneath it !!!
