Seems easy enough, I'm wanting to change it as at the moment my intercooler not plumbed in and I'm finding it difficult to do so with all the angles and lengths being different to a standard defender 200Tdi setup, I figured that if I changed to a Disco manifold then I could use the same array of hoses and pipes that several people I know have used when converting their defenders to disco 200Tdi's.

Hey All,
I have a 1989 110 with a Disco 200Tdi fitted by the previous owner who fitted it with a defender inlet manifold as can be seen here by the fact that my turbo is right at the top.
I would like to change this to the proper discovery inlet manifold so that the turbo sits lower down in the proper discovery position as can be seen here.
It is simply a case of sourcing a Disco 200Tdi inlet manifold then moving the turbo and swapping it all over?
Also what changes (if any) are likely to be made to the exhaust down pipe?
Any comments / advice welcome,
Thanks,
Gavin

I had this problem a while ago.
In the end I try the brute force method and it worked. I slackened off the nut holding the wheel on but DID NOT REMOVE IT, then hit each of the four spoke (I assume you got the same wheel) from the outside, after a few hit I tried wiggleig the wheel off and it soon came off, not problem.
Leaving the nut on means that the wheel doesn't smack you in the face!

What about a rev counter that doesn't go to 8000rpm, some how I think that amount of revs is a little optimistic for my 200tdi?
I've found a Durite one, are they any good?

...put an M6 bolt in the fuse holder of the 13A plug
Last time I saw a plug wired like that it had melted into the plastic of the wall socket and very nearly caused a fire. But other than that, that method works.

Hey All,
Just flicking through Devon 4x4s website at work and found this:
http://www.devon4x4.com/products_a/p1249c2...-sun-visor.html
It says for series 2 and 3, but is there really that much difference in the windscreen frames to make this not fit a 1989 110?
Any info / advice welcome,
Thanks,
Gavin

I've also gone with the 2x2 jet idea, one of the best things I've ever done.

...adjust the steering box, but no more that 1/4 of a turn at a time...
Not wanting to hi-jack but does adjusting it any more than that in one go damage the steering box? I ask as mines had play for a while now and it seems every time to resolved by tightening the steering box. It'll be tight today but after three or four days use will be slack again. I've recently polybushed but will still double check for excess play and movement in them.

Having thought about it, and given that he actually want more like £250 I'm gonna leave it, save me pennies for another day. Thanks everyone for the advice

Hey All,
I've been offered a superwinch EPi 9.0 and was wondering what you guys think of them, they any good.
It'll mainly be used for light self recovery and dragging the 110 up and down the drive when it a no goer.
It's going for around £200, does this sound about right?
Any thoughts / suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Gavin

The V5 for my 110CSW has nothing stated for the amount of seats, I have removed the rear 6 and when I get around to it I'll be updating it to say 5.
-
Looks a whole lot better, how did you go about spraying it, did it your self or get it done professionally?
-
I'm planning this same job for later this year. I'm going to use a pair of Series II 88" hard top panels, they're the same size as the 110 station wagon panels.
-
Not on the heritage run but do have a club stand there this year, what you driving in the run i'll look out for you.

LMAO
What so funny Ozzie?
I removed my rear view mirror as I find it obstructs my view to the front / front left. It sat right at eye level meaning I'd have to duck to look out the left hand side of the windscreen. Also the fact that it had was magnified meant that with all the wobble and vibration you get in a Land Rover I couldn't see enough detail in it to make it useful.
I will be fitting a LCD screen wired to reversing camera when funds permit.

My land rover has got through two MOTs without a rear view mirror.

From this and a chat with a few a friends, it appears that there is a greater number of drivable beaches in Wales compared to else where in the country. I think the other half is thinking of making Wales one of out places to go, will have to see where we end up.
As for the sea salt issue. I wasn't thinking of going anywhere near the sea itself, not only because of the effects of the sea salt but also the increased risk of getting stuck. Also tbh I not that fond of water.

Hey All,
I'm starting to think about my hols for later this year and was wondering if anyone knew anything about driving on beaches?
I ask as I seem to recall my Dad (many years ago when I was young) driving on a beach with several other cars in Wales but can't find any information to suggest anything other than that it's illegal. Another thing that triggered me to look into this was the '20 Top Green Lanes' booklet issued with last months LROi magazine, one of the lanes featured was on a beach, are there any others?
Any advice/thoughts welcome,
Thanks in advanced,
Gavin

Nice!
I intend to have my resprayed red some time, when the main lot of work's done and funds permit.

Hey All,
For a while now (well since I bought it nearly two years ago) the front N/S wheel gets covered in grease leaking from the hub in the centre of the wheel.
Firstly what is likely to have caused this and how would I go about stopping it and preventing it happening again?
Thanks in advanced,
Gavin

What about using a 110 High Cap and rear chassis.
Cut the main chassis rails under the seats, bend then together to form an a-frame, rear axle can be used in place as suspension linkage would still hold. Then use a sankey hitch to link up the brakes.
It is an idea I want to try some time, just need the money and space.
-
If you got one or more cars it really is worth trying Admiral, I'm 21 with three cars and three drivers (all under 25) across them and pay £60/month.
-
It depends if he intends to use all 12 seats.
My 110 had 11 seats when I bought it but now has only 5, and I have updated the V5 to match so that I can drive it legally.

The back seats.

Thanks for the replies.
I see your point of view that I'll be making the plumbing more difficult, so I'll not only save my money by not buying a disco inlet manifold but I'll also save my time by not changing it.
Thanks,
Gavin
