    Bitcoin

    How does the average investor buy Bitcoin? I've got what I'd call a healthy understanding of finance and investing, but admittedly, know very little about crypto-currency. I tend to diversify asset classes, and when it comes to the stock market, I generally stick to mutual funds. I have limited...

    Power Bleeders

    Have a leaky master brake cylinder and either need to replace the rubber grommets or the whole thing, and then bleed the system. Any recommendations on a power bleeder?

    Early 110 Frame Horns Question

    Do they all look like this? Specifically, the 'tabs' that bow out slightly over the opening in the photo (about 1:00 in relationship to the recovery ring). Wondering if they will get in the way of an aftermarket bumper like an ARB.

    And here we go - Billowing White Smoke

    And here we go - Billowing White-ish Smoke Well, it ain't no banjo bolt this time. 200Tdi. Driving two of the girls home tonight, and we were all saying to each other that something smelled. Similar to the smell of rubber that's burning, and a bit like the smell associated with the normal...

    Transmission Leak?

    #%^*!# 200Tdi, R380-stumpy, LHD So, driving home today and noticed a new smell, quite different than the usual aroma of diesel...Land Rover communication. Checked under the truck and had a nice reddish-clear puddle (though I'm colorblind :) ) on the ground. Wiped it all down and let the truck...

    110 SW Mid Crossmember (Front Tub Support) Replacement

    Anyone ever done this in-situ? With the YRM replacement (https://yrmit.co.uk/product/110-mid-crossmember-hdg-pre-2007-lr-defender/) , seems it can be done without lifting the body up or off. Thinking something along the lines of: - Remove middle row floor - Cut and remove old crossmember...

    Interior Door Trim (Part Duex)

    Also looking for this piece or part number. It is the plastic piece that sits atop the door card next to the window. In the picture of the rear door, the small pane of glass that doesn't roll down (on the right in the photo) has it in place. The longer section for the window that does roll...

    200Tdi Oil Filter - Wrench

    In case you ever need to know the measurements of a 200Tdi oil filter, and you don't have one handy...say, while you're at the auto parts store, and you're curious if the shiny new oil filter wrench that's on sale will fit your Land Rover, completely ignoring thoughts about any other vehicles...

    ROW Steering Wheel - Cover

    For those who like the old school feel of the giant early ROW steering wheels, (or don't have power steering :D), but want to update with a cover or wrap, such as those from wheelskins.com, the measurements are: Diameter: roughly 42.5cm (~16.73 inches) Circumference of the outer ring: roughly...

    Good stuff (again) - Zack at Rovers North

    He's received many a shout-out before, including from me, but here's another one for excellent customer service - again. Learned today that the washer for the drain plug on the oil sump is not the same across all 11L 200tdi's. Saved me potential drip and/or leak on a $1 part. Thumbs up. So...

    Window Tint

    Not for the truck, but the wife's car...tint shop told her that if she has bluetooth and/or navigation (she does), that she should get ceramic-based tint as opposed to metallic-based tint. The logic is that the metallica-based tint can interfere with the bluetooth/navigation. Of course, the...

    Headliner

    Anyone recover, repair or otherwise refresh their headliner in black? Thoughts? Regrets? Pics? Did it turn your truck into a claustrophobic dark cave? Would like to eventually recover mine and was thinking to do it in black, but when I mentioned it, one of my daughters looked at me like this...

    1.2 vs 1.4 vs 1.6

    Anyone know where to find the math on LT230 gearing differences? Hate to take a perfectly good 1.6 out of my ROW 110, but I'm considering a 1.4 or 1.2 replacement, primarily for a little more top end speed. Living down south around sea level, mountain passes are not a concern at the moment :)...
