Sadly got a tad delayed... Some asshat decided to slam on the brakes infront of my mate. Quick reactions and he avoided hitting him but swerved into a BM in the outside lane...

Other mate managed to safely swerve onto the hard shoulder and I just slammed on the brakes. Brake upgrade has done well! Stopped very quickly and very well, very impressed with it.

His mrs is 6 months pregnant so had to get her checked out at the hospital... still there now...

His 90 is totally fine however. Good ole solid landys!

Should get to the campsite in the next hour and hope someone will let us in!

We managed to stay until about 10 on Sunday. Rain from 4pm Saturday meant heavy drinking in the tent and early retirement. Was a good show to be fair. Best I’ve been to in a while and bloody nice to get away for a couple of nights after a mega busy year so far.

Same here. Oztent was a godsend in the weather!

Got some good deals and good parts too :D

LOF Extreme Spec clutch
New pass door card + all the bits for £50
New front wrap around diff guard £35

Was going to get a VGS heated rear window but the fella was quite rude/dissmissive when i was asking some questions about fitting. Seemed more interested in selling some £5 trim to the guy behind me.
 
makes me want to fit an illuminated inspection window into the bell housing..........

:p ooopps what have I gone and said now ( I vision of you researching high temp glass now):p:p:p

how cool would that be though, or how many times have you wised for an xray when working on yer truck?
 
Hahaha you know I said the exact same thing to Luke at LOF! Haha

I think his clutch kit + DMF will come in LESS than what I paid for Gen/Valeo kit on my 90 with the show discount!
 
Was hoping to have my lovely A/C back today but sadly not :(:( the condenser they ordered was not for my 110 and they can only get one from LR at £575 :eek:

Told them to leave it and I'll fit one myself and have them gas it. Quite annoying but hey It'll be done eventually...

Don't yer bulkhead vents open? :p
Seriously though, open your vent and have rear drivers side window open 2inches it sucks all the hot air from round yer legs, tis lovely til you stop. Oh wait thats when you need the a/c :oops::D

Easily spoilt ain't we? I drove the beemer a few times last couple of days, felt like me and the wife were whispering compared to the landy :D to be fair I've ordered the kids some ear defenders for long jaunts, the little un had headache on way to kelmarsh :eek:
 
yep haha. I had my bros fiesta today while the landy was being "fixed" lovely and easy to drive, all the mod cons but boring and about as interesting as grass. Didnt like it one bit! Not to mention I had people up my ass the whole day, cut up about 20 times arnol. Doesnt happen in the Landy! Couldnt wait to get back in the 110 even it it is louder, harder to drive and worse mpg :p

After the extensive soundproofing mine is very quiet now compared to others anywhere up to 50/60 and its like a "normal" car quiet above that it gets a bit noisey but nothing uncomfortable. Well worth doing imo and can be done in a weekend if needed.

Mines really quiet upto motorway speeds as well and there's silver backed foam stuff under carpets so suspect it's got a degree of sound proofing. It's posh compared to some others anyway :D missus loves it as much as me so I'm alright ;)
 
Good! Always a bonus when the other half likes it too haha. My mrs hated my 90 and I think it hated her too, it broke down almost everytime we went on a long trip in it !! She likes the 110 though, bar having to climb into it....

Ahh yes I did mean full of character :p
