It's time for a new exhaust set up. Mine has been rattling from the center muffler separating. Since I'm replacing it, now would be the time to upgrade. I currently have a 200tdi 110 with the center & rear mufflers. I'm reading about upsizing the exhaust &/or removing the mufflers for lower...

Started leaking diesel while driving. I could smell it, but coincidentally I had just filled a couple cans in the back of my 110 & thought the smell was from them. It wasn't until I stopped & noticed the trail of fuel behind me that I knew I had a problem. It only leaked when the engine was...

Replaced my upper & lower shroud on my steering column recently. The steering wheel would rub the new shroud assembly in turns, so I took it all apart to see if it can be adjusted & found the plastic tab that tightens the "switches base" has broke off. I can't find a part # to order. I'm...

Recently replaced my wiper switch with new, but the new switch does not get my wipers to work. When the old switch fell apart upon removal I thought that was the problem for sure, but no such luck. Here's where I am so far... Harness plug to the wiper motor (with key turned on) has power to the...

First drive in the rain this season & wouldn't you know it - wipers won't come on. Removing the steering column shroud revealed the problem, as the wiper switch fell apart as soon as the screws were removed. Time to order a new one & since they are the same age, I'm thinking of replacing the...

1986 110 originally came with a three (3) part rear door seal - 333203 protective strip (NLA), 332564 seal & 332756 seal retainer. I had my metal parts powder coated & ordered what I thought was the superseded seal. Instead I got the new updated seal for the later Defender that has two (2)...

Thought I would just clean up & seal the rear crossmember, but it didn't make sense with the extent of the rust holes, thinning & flaking metal separation. I'm not ready for the commitment of going "ALL IN" on a complete chassis yet. Here is my existing crossmember: New galvanized...

Have to share some pics of this awning & tell you that it is easy to install & unbelievably fast to set up (open) & put away! No exaggeration - like 60 seconds! I commented one day that it looked like a cool awning idea & my wife remembered, contacted Theo at Rugged Bound Supply & surprised me...

New fuse box cover P# YQH101080 I don't need it & it's just going to gather dust on the shelf or get broken unless someone can use it. Lists online from 10 pounds sterling ($12.70 - today's rate) plus shipping, on up to $68.00, but you get free shipping at that price! I can do better than...

I'm posting this to make it easy to search in the future. - My turn signals started flashing all four lights when I would signal left or right. - Common problem with LED's, but I have had LED lights & flasher relay in place for a year with no issues. - Recently replaced my lower dash with no...

Time to replace the swivel ball fluids. I have had some seeping from the swivel balls & expected low levels. I'm guessing a half a cup of "oil" slowly drained out (I let it drain in with the old differential fluid), but the level hole was plugged with grease instead (One Shot?). Now that I've...

Since I'm not putting speakers in the dash & the PO cut holes for Webasto controls, I had a choice to either patch & cover the existing dash or put in new. Either way, the dash had to be removed so I could sort the wiring. It's the first time for me with everything I do on this, so the order of...

Removed the old bonnet insulation. As with everything on a 1986, insulation style is NLA - P#MUC9850 superseded to P#AWR4147. Cleaned the underside & carefully spread the gap between the framework & the skin, so an adhesive caulking (Vulkem) can be applied between. B-Quiet Ultimate to the panels...

Glass fuse to blade fuse conversion. 1986 ROW 110 W/2.5 NA swapped to 200tdi. Blade fuse conversion kit from DefendersNW. I want to maintain the original order & labeling for the existing twelve (12) fuses (New fuses will be turned sideways). I've ordered a new label that matches the original...

What are people using for the NLA bonnet seals at the front edge & sides? I'm pulling the nasty insulation & adding closed cell sound liner before installing the new bonnet insulation. Sourced the missing buffer-bonnet stops, but can't locate the front edge finisher (MRC7104) or side seals...

I ordered a new fuse box cover because the PO notched my old one, but the new one has molded lines in it that I don't like. Is there a different part number for the early plain type or are these NLA? If NLA - Anybody have an old one like mine in the pic, in good condition that isn't scratched...

No longer needed. I had these installed & improved my leg room, but I'm 6'3" & lost a bit of head room (About 1.75"). Built a new lower seat box & my new seats do not need these rails. Misplaced a few allen bolts. The sizes used are 50mm for the front of the rails, 25mm inside wide end of...

I'm fairly new to Land Rover (got my first in October 2015) & not a mechanic by any stretch. I see a lot of resistance from the Land Rover community towards the Santana, primarily because of the matching of non-LR parts with LR parts, making it difficult to identify & obtain parts for repair? If...

Having trouble posting a personal message. Looks like I only get an option to start a conversation. It lets me preview the message without an obvious way to send it to the recipient. What am I missing? Went back & tried it again - worked to start a conversation this time. Too quick on the draw...

Just fired up recently swapped 200tdi. Lots of white smoke on start up. First time letting it run more than 10-15 seconds. High RPMs (I did not look at actual on the gauge). Pressing & releasing throttle pedal did not change high RPMs. Thought throttle linkage cable adjustment was holding at...
