Belize green 110 pickup.

Heres my 110, I bought it with knocking bottom end.

I have replaced the knocking engine with a replacement from a Disco 2, I have replaced most seals and gaskets with a mixture of good quality and genuine parts.

I removed and cleaned the oil pump strainer and loctited the oil pump pulley bolt while I was doing the sump gasket.

I am waiting on a replacement radiator, current one looks a little crusty, I also have a new Allisport intercooler to be fitted.

I San blasted and galvanised the slam panel and most of the steel brackets and fittings around the engine bay while I was carrying out the work.

Hoping the replacement engine goes well, I'm looking forward to being back in a Defender, I sold a 200TDI 90 pickup a few years back and really regretted it.

Would love to see some more Belize green Defenders.

Sweet looking 90 Mike!

I'm tempted to get a set of boosts for the 110 although I have a set of genuine wolf steels that I'd like to paint white to match the roof.

I am waiting on a new canvas from Undercover covers also, should freshen it up nicely.

I should probably get it running before I buy any more bits for it, I picked up a new ARB winch bumper for it a while back too!

I think you should stick with steels, wolfs would look great Cool 2004 Defender 90 Td5 CSW

I've been driving this now since Christmas and its driving well.

The steering wheel feels huge, I'd like to replace it with something smaller at some stage.

I am still waiting on the canvas from Undercover covers, I ordered it last July and was told it would be ready in October Laughing

The steering feels a bit vague and there is a small whine from the PAS pump turning at slow speeds, I must jack it up at the weekend and have a look.

I'm also looking for some recommendations for front springs to fit for when I mount the winch bumper and eventually mount a winch.

Gosh what a lovely looking Defender! I'm such a fan of the green and tan combo.

Credit to you for keep it in good shape

Thanks, although it was the previous owner that kept it in such good shape.

I didn't like the colour combo at first but it has grown on me, I had planned on a black replacement canvas and black wolf steels but I am sticking with the tan and I will paint the wolf steels the same white as the roof.

I'm going to try a pair of 90 rear springs up front when I mount the winch bumper and see how it goes.

I need to book it in for a CVRT (Irish commercial vehicle road worthiness test) soon, theres a slight wobble from front drivers wheel when going over rough roads, I think it might be swivel pins from what I've read.

Quick update, was worried I had an overheating problem as the gauge was climbing to 3/4.

It wasn't using water, mixing water and oil or building pressure.

I tried running a new earth to the ecu but no change.

I eventually got it checked on Nanocom and its reading bang on 80 degrees when the gaugebis at 3/4, I either need a new gauge or have other earth issues.

I fitted some HD springs up front and mounted the ARB bumper.

Badly need to get the Wolf steels refurbed and fit some decent tyres!
