If you pick up a copy of this months Landrover owner international, there is a free dvd and they they cover the replacement of a rear cross member on a 110.Hope this helps.

Ive got a td5 rear cross member without extensions, still in box £50 but you would have to collect.

or a rear cross member with extensions which has been fitted but then i stripped the 90 and bought a new chassis. £50. again youd have to collect and help to cut it off or take the whole chassis.

I watched the LRO free DVD last night with guide to replacing rear crossmember. It' s fairly good but I was surprised that they cut the wiring loom to the rear lights where it exits the chassis and then pulled it back and joined it. It's not too difficult with a bit of patience to disconnect the wiring behind the lights and then attach a draw wire and pull the loom through to the front of the vehicle to clear the section to be cut & welded. The loom can then be refitted easily. It's just my opinion, but I think making unnesessary joints in wiring is bad practice and likely to cause problems in future.

I've just done mine and I pulled the loom out and have run it along the top of the chassis. It was a bit charred from previous welding to the chassis and I figured if I need to do any in the future it would be easier to protect/move out of the way. I had to repair a few wires (one was burnt right through) retaped and then fitted a plastic conduit and secured using 22mm copper pipe clips (the copper ones reshaped to use one screw insted of two). The "spare" bit I've doubled over and secured to the rear cross member.
