I finally...after viewing 50 pages and wishing i could post a picture/comment on a landy which i owned...I finally can!!

 

I purchased a Land Rover Defender 200 TDi on Ebay on Friday and have to say its a beauty!What was even better was the fact that this Landy is being sold around 5 miles away from me, result!!I am reluctant to post pics until tomorrow though when i actually have all the keys and can drive away in it!!

Hadn't realised that

 

I think the Massif is actually not bad - it has the smae engine as the turbo daily I used to use at Riko and that was awesome. Also, for carrying loads I still think leaf springs take some beating (I realise the coils on a LR are for articulation androad manners so don't all start )

 

Still think Land rover need to get there head out their arse and start putting a proper 6 cylinder diesel (with no electrics and a mechanical injector pump and everything) in the defenders

What he said - that's what I want to end up with - currently got similar but in a 90. (it just want's stretching!)

I am toying with a new chassis for my 110. Its starting to show its age in places, and im not interested in a patchwork quilt. I will be turning it into a 130, and will put a storage locker behind the cab, and keep all my present tipping gear etc.....i can get a galvy chassis for around 1500, and my garage will do the swap for probably less than 600, plus the cost of a new rear prop. Project for next year methinks..

[Chris Sheppard]

The only problem with going from 90 -110 or 110 -130 on a chassis swap is the paperwork to go with it (if you want it to be 100% legal) - technically it would become a new vehicle in the eyes of DVLA (which is stupid).

 

But £600 is a very good price for the work indeed.
