Use mine every day from dropping kids at school to hauling materials around, using it as a hop up to reach higher places for whatever needs doing, dog walking spots, picnics, and currently has 2 bikes and a pc in the back.

200Tdi with a 19J turbo set up and a naff rad and a nice oil leak.
 
Mine is my main transport, I sold my VW Passat Estate TDi, used up all my spare savings and bought an P reg 90. I don't regret it for a moment; the last best vehicle I ever had was my series IIa, my 90 is now the next best.

I just have to pour a bunch more cash at it and then she's a keeper for the remaining I reckon.
 
td5 for wife to tow horse box around :rolleyes: 300tdi for me towing diggers around ! but for long trips Nissan patrol 4.2 auto petrol/lpg :p (sorry)
 
Only vehicle for me too - does me for a 35mph round trip commute and fishing and paintballing trips. Always too resented spending money on other cars, as they're all headed for scrap eventually, whereas I intend to keep the 110 for a LONG time!

I had been putting off doing the heater (Mainly because i could not be arsed!) and normally wear a coat anyway but it was so simple :)

Undo the two cables
undo Top 2 bolts
Undo 2 Bottom bolts
disconnect Coolant pipes

Wiggle the bugger, and it is out. Drill some rivets out, bend case and remove Matrix then repair or replace it and then refit is reversal of removal :D Took about 45 Mins - 1 Hour to do :)
