Snowing over Gospel pass in Black Mountains for alot of the afternoon, but I do believe it's now stopped. Lots of snow up on the hill tops. I'm going to pop over there again in the morning and hopefully there will have been some fresh snowfall overnight.

I've got a 200tdi defender with a genuine safari snorkel which has the air ram type top to it. The vehicle does 33+mpg which I'm happy with and would like to keep! Now I bought a bearmach type snorkel top when I had a discovery, but couldn't be arsed to repaint it so never got round to...

Maximum is one I guess. Two if the mrs comes with me. I want to keep a rear bench 'cos it's somewhere half decent to sit when in the back, and I figured I may aswel keep one of the second row seats in place, 'cos it's less to take out and then replace, but also because removal of two seats will...

Hi all, I've got a 200tdi 110 csw and would like to use it occasionally as a camper. I've seen some great camper conversions but they are usually permanent and I would like my 110 to be pretty much standard with only a small amount of preparation in order to make it sleep-able. (Some of you may...

I've used them on military land rovers, and while the michelin xzl's are fantastic, I was told by the off road driving instructor I had, that the g90's are the cross country tyres (XZLs for road/AT). I didn't notice any real difference personally between the two, but if what I was told was...

I did get round to putting some army issue sleeping mat on both front footwell and bulkhead areas, and it seems to have certainly quietened it down a bit, especially on tickover and pulling off where the engine is very quiet. Havn't taken her up speed yet so can't comment on that but so far so...

Awesome, I definitely prefer the black grill and surrounds. Just ordered a set for about 30 quid, which is pretty cheap. Did consider spraying mine up, but the paint alone would have cost 10 quid so spending 20 quid and saving myself the bother was a no brainer. I think they are the later td5...

Foam camping mat is a great idea. I still have my old army issue one in the cellar, so may bastardise that tomorrow night. The front seat box and the tranny tunnel has normal original carpet over it which is a bit old and tired but the floor panels, and the bulkhead are bare, with just some...

Oh okay, it's definitely white stripes on the o/side front, and n/side rear, but I havn't checked on the others. I'll have a good nose around tomorrow. Does anybody have a good list of tools that I should keep in the defender? In my disco I had a box in the boot, but in the defender I think a...

Thanks, and I forgot to ask, it's recently had new springs and they are appear to be black with a white stripe. Not sure what this denotes, I thought perhaps they might be police spec springs or some such but not sure?

Well being a member on here for a few years now, and having previously owned two series III 88s, and two 300 tdi discos, I've bought myself a 1992 200tdi 110 csw. I drove it 160 miles home and apart from incredibly dodgey steering at 65+, it was faultless. It cruised at about 65 which is ample...

lol Well I've bought a couple of landys in the past without viewing and no horror stories yet (...so the law of averages means it's probably going to be this time!) When I mentioned the MOT, I didn't mean that it in any way guarentees a reasonable standard as I know there's some dodgey bastards...

Cheers for all your help. In the end I managed to find myself a 92 defender 100 CSW which would have been my first choice of spec but didn't think I would find one within budget. It seems ideal, and I've taken a punt on it, buying it without viewing. May have fcuked up or may have bought a gem...

Perhaps I'm ill informed, or opinions have moved on, but I have definitely seen on forums (landyzone, landrovernet etc), that Tdi engines are favoured over Td5s by most second hand owners. Presumably because they are easy for the diy mechanic to fix, not because of their reliability necessarily...

I'm looking at potentially swapping my car for a 99, 110 TD5 Van, which is completely opposite to what I first started out looking for: A tdi 90 SW. The fact it's a 110 might turn out to be an arse since I park on the street outside (although I never had any problems in the disco). Then of...

Well, 3 door or 5 door, it's largely irrelevant because I intend to drive at normal car limits anyway until the police stop me and then I'll just claim ignorance. On another note; I have only owned series landys, and tdis. I've always looked down on the td5 engines, as is pretty much the...

Tithonus landy for the uninitiated.

Well by the sounds of things, they seem like a good idea for me. I think the fact they are more industrial, and don't look as desirable as the 110 station wagons is a bit off putting when going from a sleek, user friendly car, to probably the most utilitarian variant of the land rover. That...
