nightmare i had a similar problem sorting it is time consuming. Better off with the house lol

Typicaly unreliable phoned him a few times and cant pin him down to a time to pop over its driving me mad seeing the 110 just sitting there,just have to save up and get it to garage

John, if the problem is a sticky wastegate, then you can easily do it. It takes 5 minutes + 1/2 hour swearing at the bolt at the back of the heat shield. It won't cost you anything to try.

Most garages (including LR independents) will tell you that you need to replace the turbo (about ?600 installed) because that's what LR says. That's my experience of all 3 independent LR garages in and around Aberdeen.

Many thanks to James who came over today and sorted the sticky wastegate rod and to Cedric for his pictures and advice,true job 5min,getting at it 40,thats landies.

Went for a blast 50mph up hill no prob will report back after a longer run tomorrow fingers x.

Now what next

ps thanks to all who gave advice

Must have taken you ages to type out that link

At least the 110 is running, pleased for Mr Mc Ewan. Probably get him up and down to BoT

1 Tonne Forward Control. The big boxy jobs built for the Army as gun tractors, also converted as Ambulances and various signals bodies - "Vampyre" the radio intercept one being my favourite.  Also described as a "Range Rover Cabriolet" because all the running gear is a V8 Rangie. Awesome off-road capability.  Note the Wiki gets the spelling of Vampyre wrong and does not mention that Luxembourg bought some.... I'll take the anorak off now shall I ?

copy n paste  

I would love one as they are getting rarer,drove one offroad at lamancha and once i got the hang of the gearstick position and the fact the front wheels are under your butt no bonnet it was a dawdle

Now i need to get on with the 90 thats a call to a coms engineer as its only electrics now

 :)or to Gene who seems to be having lots of practice recently
