I had a chance to sit in a Eureka! High back recently and plan to buy one when the Canadian weather improves. It packs up to a similar size as all of these folding chairs and is of comparable weight. I plan on enjoying it while my wife sets up the mattress and sleeping bags in the tent - then...

I‘ve done some travelling in an NAS soft-top and Series III 88” - often as a solo vehicle. I started back in the early 1990’s when the available equipment was essentially backpacking gear in action packer boxes. Based on this experience - I agree with some previous posters that suggested you...

Wow - I dreamed of building one of these out in University. I was travelling in my Series III at the time, so noise level, driving discomfort etc, would have been a pretty even swap, Love the utilitarian practicality of this one.

Lack of experience - especially working on trucks that get used off-road - I find is often the difference between “looks nice and tidy” and considering what’s going to happen during 4 hours of washboard road. I consider one of the primary benefits of doing the work myself to be the reduced...

Thank you to everyone who responded - I did contact Trevor at RovahFarm. Despite being on vacation, Trevor traded phone calls, emails and texts with me for two days. Trevor confirmed the parts I needed, located them and shipped them quickly at a very generous rate. I can not speak highly enough...

Does Rovahfarm have a repair facility? My route south takes me right through Arkansas... I am thinking of saving the shipping to Canada and having it done on site. Napalam00 - are you sure they have the parts onsite? I am leaving Sunday and won’t be able to contact them until I am south of the...

I am trying to identify the fuel tank in my 1984 110 station wagon, tdi; it’s a bit of a parts bin. The tank pick up and sender is mounted on the drivers side (LHD) around mid-tank. The top is sealed. The return line feeds into a metal elbow protruding from half way up the tank and roughly 1/4...

Anybody know the modern part# equivalent for the brake pads? I keep coming up with STC3765 or RTC5756. My parts source indicates these have been superceded but don’t provide the new part#... Am I right to assume LR017951 will suit any non-vented from caliper? Thanks again...

Thank you for the replies... I am confident in the RTC3380 determination. I was able to cross-reference the Lockheed part#. I have included a photo - I have an oil leak to sort... Thanks again...

I need to address an intermittent clicking noise from a rear brake on my 110. The caliper on this Salisbury disc conversion appears to be working fine, but I assume there is an issue with the anti-rattle springs or the disc/pads are worn. The caliper is stamped - Lockheed 3247-637C - which I...

Have you had a few cold/warm weather cycles with snowfall? I had a similar “strained crank” issue with my tdi a few winters ago. While I searched for answers I tented the rear and put a camp stove under the diesel tank to deal with possible gelling. I turned the engine over about an hour later...

Our Series III “Eore” honeymooning in Guatemala. Our 110 “Brighty” closer to home in Northern, Ontario Canada.

I use my 110 in a similar manner - daily driver with laden family camping trips. With the winch/bar, 300 tdi upfront I will be sticking with the OME Medium for my next suspension. In the rear, I am leaning towards the air lift helper springs inside a lighter duty coil. I have no experience...

I ordered the Exmoor kit - https://www.exmoortrim.co.uk/our-models/defender/defender-110/defender-110-pre-2000/second-row-seating/seat-belts/4-point-inertia.html - it did come as a set and does retract fully in my ‘84 110. I think the part number for the female half is BTR4373 - but I agree...

I am deep into a number of ?while I have that in pieces? jobs on my Defender. I just installed an X-brake. The directions detail a course adjustment to deal with the varying lengths of available cables. It appears X-Eng have replaced the nut and locking tab with a torx fastener. I assume the...

I have an ‘84 110 and ordered the same brackets from lrdirect. Both required drilling to clear various fasteners. The research I did at the time indicated it was required on earlier trucks. Henry

I removed my 300tdi radiator today as part of a timing belt refresh. I noticed corrosion on approx. 75% of the rear fins - in fact a number flaked off with very little provocation. The rods appear ok with no leaks, but I think after 10 winters it may be time for a new rad. Clear rust along the...

Thank you for the suggestion - I did see a YouTube video of that tool in action. I am due for a timing belt next spring and have some Rover travel plans that summer. I have assembled a wife infuriating pile of parts to install in the next few weeks -a timing belt is one of them... Henry

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I did order a Bosch reman from LrSeries; it will allow me to quickly turn around the repairs. It’s going to be a long weekend... Henry

Thanks for all the replies... I did contact LRseries regarding their Bosch units. They did reply that the injector pump they have for sale is a Bosch factory reman with a 24 month warranty. At almost half the price of a new injector pump I am tempted. This would get me back on the road quick as...
