New loom arrived from Paul in NZ. Top seller who does as he says. Loom looks top class. Would buy again from Paul .

it is a time scale issue for me, once the old chassis and bulkhead removed, there will be less than a week to get it all back together and road fit. I have never made even a simple loom, let alon a complicated one. Well for me it will be complicated to do and collect all the correct fittings in time. So a quick fit with all new parts is the ticket for me.

Message sent.

Thank you i will call them.......... ok called and spoke to wayne but they do not have on their system. they do have the engine harness but not full loom.

Good afternoon all. I wish to buy a new full wiring loom for my defender 110 hardtop 1990. I have been looking for weeks on the web (and searched here) but cannot find a supplier of full and complete looms. I am ordering a new bulkhead and intend to also work on the chassis once body is stripped and removed. So the right time to replace all wiring. Can any one here let me know who makes/ sells them and if possible post up a link. Thanks in advance. Lawrence owner of Barny.

I like the terminology.... Yes, I somewhat rather doubt, that there will be a hung jury on this point

Very true Hurbie. The issue is when stood (and it does for extended periods) the expander corrodes and binds the pistons. one reason why the xeng handbrake was fitted to the disco was fault free use.

Hi and thanks for reply.

Thanks for reply. the rear drums are the main issue for me, looking for simple fix. Very nice work.

Hi and thanks for reply, I have information that that a longer propshaft will be required, are they available?

Hi and thanks for reply. will the disco master cylinder and chamber fit or is a rear disked defender one that is the preferable choice?

Hi, some of you may know me from 4x4Goods that i used to run, it has been many years since i posted. why now? well I have a landrover 110 with salsbury axle. I would like to install disk brakes to the rear. Are there bolt on kits to do this and if so, do you have a link for me? Alternative, I still have my disco 1 tray back that ibuilt in 2007. it has an uprated 300tdi (149bhp fitted by gigglepin) this is fitted with an ashcroft stage 1 auto box and the transfer/B goes to axles with ARB fornt and rear the front is fitted with ashcroft hardened shafts and cv's. The trayback has stood since 2015 for personal reasons that mean i will never use it again. Question is should i swop the drive train or parts of it to the defender? there might be too many issues for that. ? So I am wondering what advantage would swopping just the axles for better brakes/strenght, as am fed up with constant rear brake part need. I dont think swopping the enging and box would aid me as i will only use the 110 on road except when accessing good locations for my photography hobby. (I may do the scottish 500 in it) Your thought/advice/suggestions all welcome as retired with time to read. thank you all Lawrence Horne.

if you can get fedima sirocco 285/75 r16 that stand at 35.5'' Rolling Diameter then they would sell all day every day............ they dont. they do stand at 33.5'' and the 35/10.5r16 stand at 36'' measured today.

The truck is a little changed now from when I first traybacked her (WeeGen) My Album

Wheel bearing does this, the noise goes when turning due to reducing the play(on the rolling surface). Sometimes you can cure the noise by adjusting the hub nut to give the correct amount of play for the wheel bearing, however when they start to rumble it is best to replace them. In addition it is best to replace both bearings (inner and outer) on both sides of truck as they would have most likely done the same work

http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=12075 This might give a few ideas as it also includes one made by OG

checked the other links :devon 4x4, frogs island, Arbil, main importers and seems price is ott. i'm looking for a brush set foe a M26626 motor at a realistic price for what they are. looks cheeper to buy a motor. any pointers welcome.

How annoying ...just gone through two days without broad band (I was 1 of many 1000’s) and no explanation from onetel.....but at least I have it back now. When is the next boxgrove day and do you have a post code for it? never been there what is the site like? is it similar to Slindon? re the fairlead, I was thinking something with a large radius to for the very reasons you mentioned but made from 316 marine grade stainless for longevity. Something with a 30+ mm radius like in this pic (32mm rad) Did you manage to get a float yet? are they all the same size? I dont know much about Su's

tony have you got a pic of it ? and how easy is it to install?

Thanks For the order Simon; you seem to have made good time from your place. Didn’t realise you were going to have a go at fitting them your self. Hat off to you.! Had you said; I have got a walk round set up you could have had as I don’t use it. Four hours; would like to have been there sound like entertainment When are you taking it out for a good try out? Let me know as I would like to see it in use. Are you going to put a winch on it? Cos I know where you can get a real good fairlead for it Lawrence

Well someone has to ask; so I will. Going to a "car boot" sale with a trailer, say with an engine, axles, doors, hubs and various other weighty bits of metal in order to get some extra pocket money. Total weight of your LR + trailer + parts = 3.5t or more. Seems that you (by law) must have a taco. What should the LR community do to stay within the law? if they have to get a taco, where and what are the costs? What is the up keep? What are the insurance implications? What are the MOT implications? For Car booting it may be better to get a Van, OR is it? When dose it cease to be a hobby and become a business? I.E. Trade shows. For me there is no question, but for many others it seems a vital question.

What off roading have you done? Only ask this, as my belt shredded and turned out it was full of impregnated stone/grit flakes that cut into the belt.

I have the X-springs ... am totaly pleased, as i am with the X-brake. Have to say that product and service is second to None.
