Hello all Another problem. I recently fitted a 2006 rear axle into my 1987 110csw. Really just for the rear disc brakes. A coup le of weeks after fitting the bearing seals went so I changed the bearings and seals and thought that was it. I've just discovered that was not the case. The recovery vehicle has just dropped us and the landy off at home as both seals went on the way home from a day out. Bearings started to make a terrible noise and I pulled over to find both brake discs and inner wheels covered in grease and nastiness I'm about to order replacement bearings but there's something else wrong obviously. Anybody any idea what it might be? Thanks

It's 2002 and its def a td4. Might it be an aircon belt? I didn't think of that. It's directly behind the aux belt I changed. I'll have another look tomorrow and see if I can make sense of it. Thanks all

Hello lads I drive a defender but I recently bought a freelander1 td4 for my wife. Great wee thing. The alternator belt shredded and so I replaced it. When I was down there I saw another belt behind it that doesn't look too hot either. What is this belt? I thought this engine ran on a chain?? Is it something I can pull off and replace myself? Can't find much information on it anywhere. Thanks in advance Connor

Hell western. Thanks for the response. I did buy them but they were second hand from ebay. The stud says u176 on the head

Hello all This may not be the right place for this question but not sure where else to put it. I almost lost a wheel last week and in doing so I've damaged the captive studs on one of my 30mm wheel spacers. Anyone any idea where I might be able to get some new ones? They tapped out easily enough. Can't seem to find a good source for them Thanks in advance Connor

Thanks all. I'll try to get it sorted for the weekend. -3℃ with us the night before last. High time it was working again.

Does anyone know where it's possible to buy the resistor and harness for the heater matrix? I know the one I have is shot. The rest of the system seems fine so I don't want to buy the whole unit if I don't have to. Thanks in advance Connor

That's brilliant western. I see where it goes on your pic. It was the lower down slightly darker purple wire I need to connect to. Thanks I'll try in the morning

Hello all. Not been on for a while as everything's been running smoothly.I had to change the ignition switch and now my horns not working. I've a black wire im assuming is the problem as only one end is connected.it's connected with a purple wire and I can't fine where the other end should be. Anyone any ideas? 1987 110 csw if that makes any difference. Thanks and I hope someone can help. Connor

Hello Everyone I've not been on in a while as everythings been running smoothly on my 110. I'm busy working from home and so not using it everyday. I hoped in yesterday and found to drive to the shops and noticed it was hard to engage gears. Got it home and thought today I should have a look to see what the problem might be. Jumped in,started up and no gear can be selected unless the engine is switched off. There have been no bangs or other noises like those I've felt when work van clutches have failed and I'm really hoping at this time of the year its not a new clutch needed. Has anyone any advice on what to check for. I feel the pedal is a bit softer and longer than before so I'm really hoping its a slave or something bleeding issue. It's a 1987 110 county with a 300tdi fitted onto lt77 and a 1:22 transfer box on there aswell if this helps narrow the problem down. Thanks in advance guys Connor

Hello all. Wondering if anyone has any info or experience of exporting to the USA. I have a 1987 110 csw and was thinking of getting something a bit fresher. I heard they want early 90's and 110's out there but its probably loads of hassle. Any info or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks Connor

thats great lads Thanks again for the advice i'll get it sorted with that advice Connor

hello everybody Another question about my 300tdi Since the engine was put it in there has been a squeling noise from it. I thought it was the tensioner bearing which was shot so i replaced it ( thanks to les henson for the thread on this) but it wasnt that as the bearing i took out was sound and afterwards it still made the same noise. A couple of days ago i met the guy i bought the landy from and he said put talcum powder on the belt.I laughed at him. I couldnt believe it worked. but it doesnt last. Does anyone know of a better solution or even why it does this? Its hard to listen to all the time. Thanks again Connor

Absolutely amazing!! Dick Turpin on the internet

Ok thanks for that. Seems like sound advice. I'll go work on it Thanks Chris Connor

Hello again all Now this may be a silly question seeing as i am in N. Ireland but i was wondering if anyone had an idea as to where the best place is to buy tyres? they are 235 85 16s and if i could get a set at the right price i'd even pay the shipping. Anyone any ideas? Thanks again Connor

I am amazed that someone could ask £151 for such a thing though. Theres not that much to one of them or is there something i'm missing? Connor

I know mate just joking Thanks again for the info

sounds good nick if i dont get one on ebay can i get back to you? theres a couple on there that i've put bids on at the minute. Thanks Connor

£151???? Is that forreal?? Am I back living in Norway again? Maybe i didnt read it right...... Yes i did. Is there somewhere to buy one at a sensible price? I'd be lookin a set of tyres threw in for that money Thanks Western for the advice again though

Hello again All I have another question maybe someone can help me with. Since I've put the 300tdi engine in my csw (there was a 2.5 petrol in there before) the temperature gugae has been giving a reading that the engine is boiling. But it isn't At the start it was scaring me and then I got used to it. Thought i should put it right so i got a new sensor that goes in the engine thinking this would solve the problem, but it stayed the same. Will putting a new temp guage in make any difference or is there some other way to sort it? Any info on this would be gratly appreciated again gauys. Thanks again Connor

Can we find two Austin Allegros, fit one with a 200 and the other with a 300 and see which lasts the longest?? That might sort the argument here!!

Holy Sheeeeeet What a difference. Shes driving how she should at last. Thanks guys for all the support and help. Its like a new landy for me now. 1.22 all the way Thanks again Connor

Hello again everybody Just took the old transfer box out and replaced it with the 1.22 from a disco. Cant wait to get a go in it tomorrow. Took the old transfer box out to discover it is a 1.667 ratio. Does anyone need one of these? Thanks for all the help. Connor

went under the bonnet a while ago to discover that the turbo pipes were quite loose. Took thenm out checked them for holes , of which there were none. Pushed the whole lot tighter together which straightrened the pipes out a bit and tightened the whole lot up. Then took it for a run out to the closest big hill. Pulled up it at 35mph no problem and seems to be a good bit quieter. Once again thank u guys. I'm learning every day. Just to get this transfer box sorted now and everything will hopefully be hunky dory.
