Nice one Les

I saw the same being done by a chap called les I believe, who contributes to this forum a lot. His website explains the full story. well worth reading.That'll be Les Brock then
IIRC the thread is readable on the place we left behind

LT77/R380 gearboxes have an internal oil pump, I personally wouldn't add any other fluids to the ATF or MTF
When did you last change the gearbox fluid ?,
if not recently, it maybe a good move, use the later MTF fluid LR recommend

Bi-Fi
that's the thing I was refering to in my earlier reply, cheers I couldn't remember the name

There used to be a signal amplifier or similar around a few years ago, I used one om my car and it worked fairly well, IIRC the 2nd generation RR's use a similar item on the right rear side window.
Found this in EPC radio antenna amplfier AM/FM part number AMR3323 & lead XUD100570 other than a main dealer, I'm not sure where you'd get these from.
have a look on Maplin site, they may have something similar

Ralph,thanks for the BM info. not quite what i am after but some good stuff there anyway.

I won't be fitting those then, -
OOPS, double post

£30 for a light lense
what light have you got on the back? must be gold plated for that price -
Connect the switch to give the driver a electric shock when he backs into something

Excuse the stupidity but WTF is it ?mo
a slide plate to prevent the truck getting hung up on the rear radius arm chassis mounts
-
I'll 2nd that

One for the Tech Archive I think

I've never seen a NATO 76mm trailer ring that doesn't swivel, unless it is seized up!Some of the early ones like mine don't swivel, it has a lockout pin for the overun brakes, I'll stuff a pic up shortly
here we go one fixed NATO 76mm ring hitch MH35 type

Any other ideas ????bout time you learn't where the rear of the 90 is
A LGV truck/trailer parts supplier should be able to sort a set of the big rubber buffers
just like those Dave has found above

Thought I'd add this to the Tech Archive-----------
some time back I fitted a front wash/wipe intermittent system to my '89 110, all the info is below, in edited form
Done this using the geniune parts, you need harness PRC8295 and relay AMR2341, remove the fuse box cover, pull the mat away from the sides of the fuse box, take out one screw each side,disconnect the wiper connector, plug in the new harness, plug the new relay into the new section of harness, refit all the removed screws and covers, switch on and play with the wipers to check it all works, should now have intermittent wipe when switch is down, slow and fast speeds when switch is up, push wash and should get wash with 4 wipes. the parts are quite reasonably priced as well, as I say done this on my '89 110 all works fine, a good mod for all 90\110 which don't have intermittent wash\wipe.
on checking the cable routing on my 110, with the relay and it's socket behind the fuse box, the 2 legs of the harness go up the tunnel, where all the other cables go, (may need a 'fishing rod' or string to pull them up through here) to the back of the radio\rear wiper switch, from here they travel along to the front wiper stalk inside the steering column cover,remove this cover for access, inside here disconnect the front wiper stalk connectors, reconnect these 2 to the new harness, make sure everything is safe, switch on the ignition and test the new system, if all OK, refit the previously removed covers\ fusebox. it's not quite as simple as it appears in my original paragraph above.
on the new harness at the wiper switch end connector there are 6 wires which matches the switch connector wires and colours. A quick look at wiring diagram in my workshop manual shows connector with 5 wires going to wiper motor, connector with 6 wires going to wash\wipe switch on steering column
Checked parts cat. If you have this wash\wipe switch fitted PRC3900 upto VIN FA455595, reckon you need this later one PRC7370 switch wash\wipe delay from VIN FA455596, the early one is most likely to be unavailable, probably superseeded by the later number.
Additional info ------------ also relay PRC6864 from early Discovery & Range Rover will work, it was superseded by AMR2341.
if anyone wants to make a homemade harness, you''ll need to know the relay pin idents

When towing on road with nato hitch should it be left to swivel or locked cheers guysDepends on the trailers coupling head ----------
if it's fixed [unable to rotate horizontally] the [vehicle hitch]pintle must be able to swivel [even on road] [or the trailer if it flips my take the towing vehicle with it] all normal ball coupling heads are able to rotate while the vehicle part remains fixed.
if the trailer hitch can swivel then the pintle must be locked at all times,
my trailer has a fixed NATO ring so my pintle is set to rotate whenever the trailer is connected, never had any problems
-
They didn't change the gearstick, they changed the gearbox tunnel insteadbut it's still in the same posistion in the vehicle as every other 90/110
whereas on a R380 Discovery the gearchange housing is completely different to a Defender -
There's no brown paint on mine at all... (See foto)Obviously newer than my EPC & Microcat parts catologues then JIm
-
Will, EPC & Microcat tells me that part number RKB101111 are colour coded brown/purple for 110 non levelled, doesn't give any ratings though
-
In the same location Nick, the bellhousing is longer which moves the 300Tdi engine further forward, therefore new engine mounting position
if the gearbox was located differently then the gearlever mechanism would be different as well to make it fit in the same place as a 200Tdi vehicle

Additional Fuse Box Install
in International Forum
Posted · Edited by western
You could, but the cable run from the battery +ve terminal to the fusebox will be unproteced
better to protect as much wiring as possible, I must add an additional fusebox to my 110 for my ham radios.
