The Cappings on the rear body of my 110 Stationwagon (1991) have got a
severe attack of tinworm.
Various internet browses on the usual sites and phone calls to local
suppliers have clouded the issue somewhat.

Update as promised,
My 97 defender now has clocked up 5000km on 100% bio, runs smooth with more
torque, on running up 500km since switching over to bio I replaced fuel
filter as recommended,  also dismantled the fuel sedimentor, there was some

Is there some trick to getting them off?

I have a TD5 with 115,000km on the clock.It started running roughly,
losing power and blowing black smoke.  If I drain the water sensor on
the bottom of the fuel filter it seems to come good for a while... so I
put it down to a bad batch of diesel - possibly with water in it

Its a 3.5  on twin su's from a 89 Defender.
Which valve stem seals do I fit?
The ones that look like  a flat washer seem a bit of a tight fit on the
valve stem.

 In preparation for footwell replacement I have removed the N/S wing on
my 89 RRC. Unfortunately, the decker panel bolts were seized solid. I
had to flex the wing outwards and grind off the bottom of the captive
nut thingies.

Been thinking about some sort of (better?) heater for my 90 and came across
this:

Any thoughts?

Ok, so I managed to get my newly purchased S2a through its MOT with
only minor work, and I thought I was ready for a bit of gentle off
roading.
On its first trip out it performed very well and I thought all was

Seen a nice LHD GS 101 LPG converted 21000kms for £2800.
Is there anything specific to watch out for? The tilt is a bit ropey and two
of the tyres will need replacing VERY soon. There is a winch with the
vehicle but it isn't attached. I was told it worked but no guarantees.

My Series One has blown the cylinder head gaskit between 1 and 2. Now
bearing in mind that I am a compleat numpty and I have lost my manual
for the thing what would I have to dismantel to take the head off
inspite of what it says in the book ( remove rear propshaft type

Just discovered some bubbles that looks like corrosion / rust at the
bottom of left skywindow - just below the rubber seal.
Has anyone else experienced this - is this a common place to corrode?
Should I wait or fix now before it gets worse?

Any Idea's why my TD5 has started to dump all the air intermitantly
from the rear suspension when stopped for a long period, say over
night. This leaves the rear looking abnormal !!!!  Although I've heard
air being dumped after parking up, it never seemed to drop as low as it

I was driving on a main road that was flooded by about a foot of water.
For the first 20 yards the vehicle was fine, then the engine started
to lose power and just managed to tick over for about another 30 yards
until I was back on dry road the engine gradually recovered and has

I've decided to have LPG installed on the 110, rather than swap her for
a diesel.  I'd prefer to keep the full sized petrol tank if possible, so
where would I have the LPG fitted?  I want as big a tank as possible,
but have no idea where to suggest siting it (assuming the fitters ...
