We run a 110 tipper does 28mpg loaded or empty. Carries a tonne legally and much more if required. When full it handles like a barge and stopping can be fun. Load space is limited as is cab space. I wouldn't change it unless it was for a 130.

 

Costs about 600 a year in repairs and servicing

 

A 130 will only reduce your legal payload.

Having owned loads of 4x4`s, including just about all the earlier landy products upto TD5 Disco 2, the best by far was a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Way better off-road than any land rover and a whole lot more reliable.

The best landy I owned was an `88 defender 110SW, it only broke down 4 or 5 times (always at the most inconvenient or critical time though) which puts it top of the pile.

 

Better? Wonder why I had to tow one out the mud then?

Just found this thread, having a landy is a real labour of love. They are great, when fully loaded you do know about it especially when you have a ton of wood chips and pulling a chipper. It does it alright you just have to drive it like riding a motorbike expecting some idiot to pull out in front of you, as you may not stop in time!!
