Thanks, I will contact them! A member from one of the Dutch LR forums had allready seen the new auction and informed me. I've sent an email with a warning to the buyer. He must have gotten scared that he sold the car for this little money now, the engine, box and axles were OK, even a defender engine instead of a disco one, and an extra brandnew bulkhead. This car must have been stolen, only the bulkhead is worth this money...

Hi, I won an ebay auction: Land Rover 110 SW 200TDI on Ebay I buy a lot of 110's in the UK and I import them to the Netherlands, because the Dutch DVLA is very strict about numbers I always ask the folowing questions before I bid on an item: Does the VIN number stamped into the chassis (not the ID-tag!) and the engine number match the numbers on the V5, and are they READABLE? I also asked these questions to the seller of this item, he has checked it and everything was ok he said. When I arrived at his address I noticed that there was a lot of waxoil where the chassisnumber should be. I said:"you said you checked the number?" Then he said he only checked the ID-tag, because that was the only thing that was important. I insisted that he scraped the waxoyl off and he got a little angry. A chassisnumber came up, "there it is" he said and hoped I didn't check it. When I wanted to compare it to the number on the ID-tag he got a little more angry. The numbers didn't match, the number on the chassis leg was many years newer than the number on the tag, I couldn't check the V5 because he had left it at his work he said. He said, he thought the car had it's chassis replaced at some time, but that would not be a problem. I did not want to buy the car anymore and he got very angry and abusive so I left. Here in Holland the chassis is the main part of identification, you can't just swap a chassis (a new one is no problem ofcourse) if you can't prove where the replacement came from. And I have asked him before I bid on it. The Dutch DVLA would have never given me a registration so I would have had no other option than to break it. So I think I did the right thing didn't I? I've emailed the story about seller "pasturesfarm" to Ebay and emailed his and the cars details to the dodford police..

I've used 30mm spacers from paddocks, everything fits, studs are long enough.

Hi, Does anybody know if these propshafts have the same dimensions, can I use V8 (LT95) props on my 200 tdi with lt77 box? It's a 110 stationwagon. thanks.

I really hate it that almost every ad is pulled again on Ebay nowadays! I buy a lot of cars on Ebay, and I live in the netherlands so I'm not in a position to come and view first. I try to place a bid at the end of the auction (if it's not cancelled). Ebay is an auction site, not a cheap way to advertise your car. An auction should run it's course! This way a lot of people will loose interest in buying on ebay, and selling will become harder too!

Yes, I duplicate the layer first. Then select the background and copy that to another layer, then I blur that layer a little. (In photoshop by the way...)

sorry for my off topic reply, I do this trick to most of my pictures, see some examples of my cars: If you like the pictures, you can have a look at my website: www.One-Ten.nl

or you buy some wheel spacers to solve the problem. I've had mine for ages, and they haven't caused any problems with wheelbearings....(lots of people warned me for this)

My '00 disco td5 has 200000 miles on the clock, almost every mile with a very big trailer. Only thing I've ever replaced is the starter. Even on it's original clutch (which is now getting a noisy bearing). It still doesn't use a single drop of oil. I do have a spare 10000 mile TD5 engine ready, in case my old one dies suddenly, this Disco must keep running..

My H14's free spool mechanism doesn't work, does anybody now how to operate this, do I have to pull or turn the mushroom shaped knob? What can be wrong with it? Does anybody know where I can download a manual, I don't think Superwinch will send one to the Netherlands..

If I do this conversion; do I also have a speed pulse for my satnav afterwards?

OK, Thanks, I'll try that!

OK thanks, do you know where I can get a manual for it?

Hi, I've bought a land rover with a PTO driven winch on it, it is a superwinch. I know nothing about winches...Does anyone now wich type it is? How can I wind down the cable, there is a big control on one side, do I have to turn this of pull it or something? Do I have to put oil in the wich somewhere? Thanks, Paul

Thanks, I'll try that!

doesn't the car have to get back to the uk for that, the dvla won't have a look at the conversion? And when I bought the car, the middle right slip of the V5 was sent away, so the DVLA nows it's permantly exported, can the V5 still be changed after it is marked as exported?

Hi, I'm new here and I have a few problems... I've bought a Land Rover 110 Station Wagon V8 1983 in the UK and took it to the Netherlands. The former owner has taken out the V8 and replaced it with a reconditioned 2.5 TD engine. To get a Dutch registration and number plates I have to go to the RDW (Dutch DVLA) with the car and the V5 documents. The RDW will not register it in the Netherlands now because the V5 says it's a petrol but the car is a diesel..... According to the RDW the only way to get it registered is to convert it back to petrol V8 again and that's not what I want. So now the only way I can think of to get it registered is to buy a wrecked 110 diesel and use it's V5 on my car. It will just become very expensive that way as I only need the V5 and possibly the part of the chassis with the VIN (or I just put it in myself) and the VIN-ID plate. I asume in the UK there are lot of people who are about to break their old 110 Stawag diesel from a very early year (82, 83, 84) but how can I find them? Should I just email a breaker, or do you think they won't sell me just a V5? Any input appreciated! Thanks, Paul
