Now, I REALLY like that!
-
The size may or may not be an issue in the woods, but assuming this one is 4WD the turning circle WILL be! If I remember correct, it's a 2640 with a turbo giving it another 20hp. There was a bigger version still, the 2720 but not sure on hp. They are a beast as mentioned above, the single door puts some folk off but if you bought it and kept it a few years it would certainly earn its keep and loose little money. Good hard working beast.
-
It really is no big issue. The earlier ones lacked low end grunt. As I say an auto is unlikely to suffer the stalling issues I've experienced with a defender manual.
-
I'd agree there is a difference in the motors, having had both early and late versions in the defender. However, in the discovery, I don't think the jump in price to the face lifted (52 reg onwards) would be justified simply for the smoother running later version. I also would say with an auto, the differences would be virtually unnoticeable.

:lol: I'm just taking the mick as usual:thumbup:

I often think to myself, surely there can't be any more decent subjects that haven't been discussed on arbtalk before. This is another that reassures me I'm right:001_rolleyes:
-
Mozza on here is your man, I think his maybe for sale too.
-
Anyone know of any border collie pups for sale?
-
Haha, don't take me too seriously mate! I know exactly where you are coming from, had enough of them like it. Guess I'm lucky now having a top crew where everyone mucks in, has a laugh and goes home knowing they've earned their coin and pulled their weight. Take most of what I say tongue in cheek, there's usually some sense behind what I'm saying, it's usually the guys who are used to my sense of humour who can tell I'm on a wind:thumbup:

Why is it expected a climber should have a rake ticket? In my book, boss shouts and pays bills, climber climbs and kills tree, brash rat drags brash and rakes. Where's the confusion?
-
I hope it's Valorbe:thumbup:
-
Do we win anything?
-
Me too
-
I was hoping if I went to church for a few weeks I would get a free one! -
I can see why you had problems with the landy mate!
-
Sure, get the truck sorted but don't go without that 560. Its part of the modern package mate, no real arb co should be without one!
-
Sounds like all you need is a 560 then and rebuild the 260(as you will need it when the 261 breaks down) Oh, and if you can still get a 660 snap it up!
-
Well for a start I'd avoid the 261, and the 362 for that too. There getting fewer good stihls available now tbh, but the 660 is a good 'un. Oh, hang on, that one's gone too now, errrrm, yeh, ok looks like its the 461, that's said to be a good saw. As for the other one's I guess you'll have to come into the light and get the orange ones mate:thumbup:
-
You're almost sounding old school there Dan! Many of you young 'uns maybe wont remember the days of one saw does all, back in the 1980's! As a full on felling gang we had 3 saws, a 181 with a 16" bar, a 181 with a 20" bar and a 181 with a 28" bar. There wasn't much variety then but they did all we needed!
-
Here's one to wet your appetite, there aren't many around for this kind of money so guess it will soon go; Land Rover 110 TD5 Hi-cap Pickup | eBay
-
Only wish I had more time to visit shows like that, not always top of the wife's day out wish list though! Lol!
-
Not sure, I dare say if he had it for sale it would of been more than that. I think it's 13 reg and the wheels alone will have been 6 or 7k. I saw it before he got all arches and winch fitted but looked awesome!
-
Lol! The first is mine, the second is copied off a coffee mug:001_rolleyes:
-
Good thread this. I always wanted something witty but couldn't find one suitable so made my own:blushing:
-
Dan. Did you take lots of pics? Just wondering if you saw my mates 110. It's a new black utility with massive wheels and all the kit bolted on, and he had a stall there selling all sorts landy? Reason I ask is he just finished modding it last week and not seen it yet.
