Originally this was the whole idea behind the site. I wanted somewhere simple to store all the part numbers I have used so I don’t forget them between servicing or repairs. The site then grew from this into what we have now.

The parts list is by no means comprehensive or even much use to other people to be honest, but I find it useful.

You can find the One Ten Parts List Here or click the link under Guides & HOWTO’s in the left hand menu.

I saw my One Ten on Ebay and after many emails with the seller I drove down to Dover and met up with a friend from a forum I frequent to check it over. He is a mechanic and a land Rover owner so was ideally placed to advise me as I knew nothing about them then, and only marginally more now.

After checking it over from top to bottom, paying particular attention to the chassis and bulkhead he gave it a clean bill of health and I became one very happy Land Rover owner.

Driving it home was an experience as I wasn’t used to the handling characteristics of these things and by the time I got home I was worn out and wondering if I had made the right decision. It’s a big jump from a Renault Clio to a One Ten and I found the vague steering difficult. The next morning I woke up feeling as though I had flu my arms and back were so sore. Maybe I am just weak and it had nothing to do with the landy

Luckily this was only temporary and after a few days I was used to the big old lump and the inane grin has still not left my face almost a year later.

The first thing I did was spend 4 hours washing, T cutting and then waxing her from top to bottom. I wanted to see how it looked when washed and polished as it would probaly never look shiny again, and believe it or not, where there is paint it came up a treat!

But of course this is no way to treat a vehicle of this heritage so the very next day I jumped in and found some very deep mud on the farm and proceeded to get very stuck.
