I know, satin black is played out but it looks soooo good on 110s. Very happy with the result for my first time :)

It's clearly not an official design, as the link above proves. That's a shame, I really like it, so much better than that DC100 abortion.

Word of warning, folks around here like you to introduce yourself before posting questions. You should know that if you've been 'reading posts for ages' ;)

They can't force it to be written off, they are legally bound to put it back into the condition it was in before Volvo numpty hit it, or give you the funds to do it.

What kind of logic is that? The money you save by not buying new will more than cover servicing costs for a few years :/ That's the sort of logic that makes people sell their perfectly good cars, then spunk thousands on a new car to save a few quid a year in fuel and road tax.... The same sort...

What do you mean, 'the turbo dies'? What engine is it? I replaced the turbo on my 300TDI and it was a pretty easy job to be honest.

My 110 CSW is used as a daily driver, ferries the kids around no problems, including one toddler in a child seat. It does work with defender seats, you just have to make sure you've pulled the seatbelt tight on the back of the seat. It's all about expectations really, they are perfectly useable...

......You build a job up in your mind to be an absolute bitch, but when it comes to actually doing it, it all goes easily without a hitch? Case in point: Today I replaced the steering drop arm on my 110. Bought some thin cutting discs expecting to have to cut the fooker off, but easily undid...

That'll be your P-Gasket, very common on these engines: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f73/300tdi-p-gasket-replacement-171383.html

Probably petrol/diesel powered, which makes the whole thing a bit pointless doesn't it? They would have been better off having the charger on board to make it an extended range electric hybrid (engine kicks in to charge the battery if it gets low).

Not only that, but the electricity has to be generated in the first place, and the vast majority is still generated using fossil fuels, so until electricity is 100% generated from renewables it's merely moving the emissions from the exhaust to the power station.......

That was a cracking vid, looks like you had a great day :)

Why don't you just get your balls re-attatched and tell her to fook off?

"Makes all other defender owners jealous" Really? I can assure you I am in no way jealous :puke:

I was in the same boat as you, just wanted an entry level winch for occasional use, went for one of these: 12000lb Winch 12V Recovery Trailer 4x4 Wireless Remote Control GO NEXTDAY £3.99 | eBay I know people say stay away from these cheap winches, but it's worked well enough the couple of...

If you're happy with £15 then so am I mate :) Drop me a PM and we'll sort out collection etc :)

It's rags like the Daily Mail (which is just a ConDem propaganda mouth piece) that give the sheeple who read it the idea that anyone in a wheelchair must be a 'scrounger'.

I've worked in the structural steel industry since my teens, and dispite regular manual handling training I too thought I was invincible when younger, paying for it now as I get bouts of crippling spasms a couple of times a year, usually requiring diazapam to stop the spasms. No way near as bad...

Looks like something from scrapheap challenge. That exhaust really is speshul :crazy:
