I advanced the timing by feel, since it takes slightly longer for the pump to build the pressure required to fire higher sprung injectors. Gets up and goes much faster. Basically put the timing pin in, hold the adjustment nut with a wrench, remove pin and advance by a few mms until you get a...

I had this exact same problem on my D110 300tdi. It was infuriating as I had replaced the T-stat, radiator, and all the lines. I even had replaced the heater core until I realized there was a very small leak from the P gasket that would only make itself known when the engine was running real hot...

Sounds like you clogged up an injector! Doesn't take much to jam up those tiny holes in the injector nozzle especially if your fuel pickup grabbed some debris/sludge/flakes from the bottom of the tank. It is possible to pull them apart yourself at get at the nozzles, but at that point you might...

Got a late model '95 soft dash RRC in white that's got a irrecoverably large dent in the front right exterior wing panel. Anyone have one that's in decent shape? Color doesn't matter. Located in Denver, willing to drive or pay for shipping.

My daily Disco has the control box simply hose clamped to the winch body itself. Has worked just fine for over a decade and no one has tried to steal it yet! Did the previous owner have the fueling cranked way up, or was there some sort of leakage causing over fueling?

Good to hear, been most excited about that so I can drop EGT. I70 is brutal on these 300tdis (I'm sure you know that!). Nice! I just finished a front end rebuild with Koni RAID shocks and new D110 HD coils. What a difference. Just accomplished a timing belt change too. I'm also looking at...

Finally got around to starting on the mystery squeak coming from somewhere in the serpentine on my 97 110 300tdi. My diagnosis led me to the water pump as it'd quiet down significantly if I sprayed PB Blaster behind the pulley. Pulled the front end apart and started working the water pump bolts...

Replaced the door check on the driver's side, the previous owner seemingly lost it and never ended up replacing it. The unfortunate consequence of neglecting replacement was a dented bulkhead from the door hitting it.

Thanks for this t-case, it allowed me to make a 4000 mile journey with my 110. I appreciate it!

Still available?

Looking for a Defender 110 I can throw a 4BT into. Can be beat and in bad shape as long as it has a title and axles. Don't need an engine nor transmission but willing to pay more if those are included. You can reach me via this thread or via email: [email protected]

I'm interested, willing to ship it?
