Finding a Landrover?

[mendiplogs]

I'm trawling the Internet to gain knowledge on 110 and 130.

Mainly to familiarise myself with values.

 

I'm thinking about getting a 110 or 130 preferably with a tipper )or fit a Pro-Tipper if that's possible)

 

I've found the obvious like Autotrader, Nene Overland etc but wondered about other dealers that you guys have bought from.

 

Thanks.

HI COD im interested how you get 35+ to the mpg COD can you what you had done to brain and gear box thanks jon

 

I bought this machine from the only LR dealer with a green 110 hi-cap in stock in 2003. It was converted by a firm in Essex. I drove it there straight from the dealer and it was back with me fitted with a lovely tipping body within three weeks.

There was a delay inside the brain for about 30 seconds from starting where there was very little power and I put up with this during its warranty period plus I was wary of the 5 pot motor having heard of the pre 02 cylinder head 'walking' problems and diesel entering the sump. This resulted in a local LR running on its sump oil, getting faster and faster.......The driver walked quickly away from this and it eventually went BANG! LR did pay for a new engine, so you can understand my caution:001_rolleyes:

 

The local LR dealer was more interested in cleaning this machine rather than sorting the power delay so I approached the problem from a different angle.

 

I made enquiries about this company having heard good reports. I didn't want a fire breather:laugh1: just a good response to the throttle and the engine running a little more freely.....So good MPG too

Being busy at the time with harvesting operations, my friend and LR specialist (I still run a couple and had four at work) took the brain from under the seat and it was posted to the company above. It came back within the week so good service. There was a warning that the standard DMF (dual mass flywheel) would probably not be able to take the extra power and within three weeks it was back to my friends workshop for a quick week-ends flywheel and heavy duty clutch exchange.

 

Resulting work transformed the machine and I ran it from 35k to 68k without any further probs. Lovely power delivery and a free revving motor.

 

The tank fills went from a rubbish 325 miles to 375 miles and I probably would have squeaked 400 miles from it if I was extra careful. My current 200 series 110 goes 425 miles so I wasn't so far out with 35MPG!:thumb up:

 

I hope this little piece of info helps you Jon.

Land Rover do not over this as an option. If I remember rightly, Nene Overland were offering the conversion a few years back and there was a company at the APF who had them as well but to be honest it seemed a lot of money for not much gain.
