The Quiet Site near Ulswater is not too bad, got a good pub on site too.

x-CEPTIONAL

Richards Chassis are one possibility

I spent bloody weeks and numerous trips to flamin A&E trying to sort out a similar problem. Turned out the tank itself had a baffle in the wrong place and the float was jamming against it..... Pattern tanks, be wary....

Can't understand why folks have problems with these overdrives, the one on my V8 has put up with 40k + miles of abuse and never had a problem. The one on my 200Tdi had over 150K of abuse (never packed up, just rebuilding the vehicle).....

My recent experiences with PU adhesives (Tigerseal in this case) has taught me one thing, that stuff, once cured is completely and utterly impossible to remove from anything. Stuck the rear floor down on my 110 with it then realsied that I'd left a ratchet and some other odds n sods in the crossmembers. The nice sheet of ali looked VERY second hand after I finally got it off....

How do you remove rear quarter panels from a Discovery 1? Feel the need to have 3 partially dismantled landovers in the garden....

I had a similar console fitted to my previous 110 (wasn't the Terrafirma one, but bloody similar!). It was a doddle to fit, wiring it up was idiot proof and it did what it said on the tin. Only quibble I had about quality was the plastic trim strip that went around the roof/console join not being glued down properly. Tube of superglue took care of that. Other comments - take care as it becomes another repository for junk useful stuff....

Well, children, just bought an old Disco as a runaround. Where can I find a parts book and, a wiring diagram (1993 200Tdi, poverty spec)? Veery tatty round the edges, plenty of chicken sh*t welding, but overall sound with a reasonably good motor- oil leak on an injector and needs a timing belt, but everything works (with the exception of the headlamp washers)! Think I may live to regret this, but I've started, so I'll finish... I do wonder how much damage it is gonna do to me physically and financialy, but what the hell it was cheap and had best part of 9 months tax and test.....

YUP!!!

How you managing without nicotine? I tried the chewing gum (jaw got very tired, wrecked a couple of fillings...) then moved on to patches, for Gods sake I looked like I was wearing a bubblewrap suit. Went back on fags when fingers broke last year...

Thats how I ended up with a few lumps rather than a lot of lumps! Actually, this may give me the incentive to splash out on a heated screen

got some jewellers rouge that I might try, oh well, best made plans of mice and men etc

Finally restarted work on the 110 yesterday and needed to shorten some bolts, so I set about them with an angle grinder, unfortunately I was using the bonnet as a work bench anf peppared the windscreen with biths of molten M8. I managed to remove most of the metallic rash, but there are still quite a few "lumps" on the windscreen. Anyone got a method of repairing this? I really cannot face replacing a 6 month old screen.....

Simon, I like the simplicity! However, having too many kids means the footwells of the 110 are so permanently full of carp useful stuff it would get lost! by the way, I've got relatives in Roffey, not too far from Horsham, used to drink in a pub down there called the CherryTree, wonder if it's still there...

If indeed you can't fit it, look on the bright side, the way fuel prices are rising you wouldn't be able to afford to fill it....

"Now where can I get heated side windows ? LOL ", you laugh, but a few years ago I approached Pilkington on just such a subject! Evidently it wouldn't be too difficult to do as the windows are just flat glass, the problem would be in the wiring, I thought about using "telephone" style telescopic stuff, but couldn't find any of a sutable rating.

Preferred Alvin Smiths "Strangerover"- TR7 on aRange Rover chassis if my memory serves me...

reminds me of a friends TR7. He had some work done on it at a garage in Reading, they also MOT'd it. He popped round to show me his fully "restored" car. It was p*ssing petrol from a corroded fuel line, brake fluid was dripping from a corroded brake line, it had no lights and the nearside front caliper was held on by one bolt. We got Trading Standards involved and the "garage" was threatened (!!!!) with prosecution. What a waste of space...

Thats what I thought, will leave it as a nice idea that has more cons than pros...

As my 110 is still in more pieces than I would like (fingers healing nicely, just wish the nails would finish dropping off...), I was wondering about filling the floor crossmembers with expanding foam to prevent carp filling them and rotting the aluminium again. Is it worth it and will it work? Cheers me dears

Now you are all making me feel bloody old.... I can remember buying loads os those mags in the 70's along with others suchas Cars and Cars Conversion, who, incindently had a series on building your own workshop kit, things like belt linishers made from washing machine motors. Them was the days......

Ah, the top nut! I used two 3/8 extension bars and removed it from the front of the vehicle. With a bit of fiddling about over the front axle. Mind you I did find that one of the bolts was hex head, whilst the others were socket heads...

Had a similar prob with the axle on my 110, turned out to be pad chatter. Evidently the pads had worn a slight groove in the caliper, the noise was only evident after putting new pads in and cleaning the crud out of the caliper. Noise went away after pads half worn and crud had filled the groove in! Seee if you can wiggle the pads up and down.
