Nice one. Looks the same.

Its been re-sprayed so not on the vin. Can you post a picture of yours so I can compare?

So my 1988 110 has been resprayed at some point in its life. Its a metalic blue which I think might be 'monte carlo blue' Trouble is I am not 100% sure! What do people think?

OK I had a look at the steering stops to see if they could be screwed in any more. There looks to be some extra room to the radius arm on full lock. But the bolts are screwed in as far as they will go. The thing is they are not threaded right to the end...... They look a bit like this one with a shoulder to the bolt: http://www.shop4autoparts.net/Defender/Axle-and-Suspension/Drive-Shafts,Hubs-&-Swivels/BOLT_STG._STOP.html Rather than this one: https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/index.php/lambysettings/index/view/id/1144/ So what is the story - do you think I can swap to the other bolt and get a few extra turns? This is on a 1989 110 CSW.

Thanks for the info guys - keep it coming. One thing I still cannot get my head around regarding offset. Does offset change the turning circle itself or does it just alter how much the lock can be adjusted. So if the lock was kept the same would a 22ET wolf wheel turn better than a 0ET modular or vise-versa?

I am about to replace they tyres and rim on my 110 and want to improve the turning circle. I currently have 31X10.5X15 wheels on 8 spoke modular rims. I think the current rims have an offset of 0. So if I fit a narrower tyre I get a better turning circle right? My plan is to fit 235/85xR16. But what about the rims and the offset. Two choices: 16 x 6.5 Wolf rims with an offset of 22mm or 16 x 7 modular with an offset of 0mm. Now my understanding is the modular rims will sit wider due to the smaller offset. But does this help or hinder the turning circle? If the modular rims sit wider then I can adjust the lock stops more to give a better turning circle? Is that right?

Thanks for help guys. I think the latest part numbers are MTC1714 and MTC1715. I see what you mean about the prices! http://www.lrdirect.com/MTC1714-Support-Seat/ http://www.lrdirect.com/MTC1715-Support-Seat/

Ok - this might be the information I am missing. I was looking for a frame like on the outer seats that fits the centre seat. So the centre seat just has two non adjustable runners? Has someone got a link or part number?

I have an ex-MOD 1990 110 V8 As I understand it the MOD land rovers have late style series seats fitted. I have two seats fitted in the cab but want to fit the middle seat. I can find the seat backs and bases: http://www.famousfour.co.uk/new_parts/ff_part?part=775 But not the frame that the middle seat fits on. Does anyone know the part number for the middle seat frame?

Thanks guys - does anyone have link / part number for the middle row seat frame? I want to stick with the MOD / series seats rather than upgrading.

So I have just acquired a 1990 110 V8. I want to replace the seat backs / bases in the cab as they are split / worn. It currently has two seats in the cab the drivers is adjustable, the passenger seat is attached to the bulkhead. The frames are fine it is just the backs / bases I need. Am I right in thinking I need series seat back / base like these one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-SERIES-2-3-STANDARD-BLACK-VINYL-SEAT-BACK-/370530886379?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item56455ca2eb http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-SERIES-2-3-STANDARD-BLACK-VINYL-SEAT-BASE-/220778607044?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item33676e31c4 I also want to fit a matching middle seat. Does anyone know what is required and which parts I need?

Hmm. I guess that will teach me for believing what I read on the internet.

Ok done a bit of research into 5 Airborne. They were based in the UK but could be deployed anywhere as a rapid reaction force. Apparently all their vehicles (land rover, scimitar, motor bikes) ran on petrol as they were airlifted in by hercules and then could refuel from the hercules wing tanks. Makes a lot of sense!

Hi Paul That is very interesting - I wonder what role / theatre would required petrol? Hopefully if you can find the Parts Catalogue it might have some detail. Also hoping to close the deal on the 110 next week so should be able to supply photos / reg numbers etc.

Thanks for the info. I will get some pictures / more info up once I have completed the deal. From my research there seems to be a batch of ex-mod 110's V8 from either 1989 or 1990. I wonder if the mod got a job lot from land rover!
