I use my 200tdi 110 every day, I'm self employed and it is my working and only vehicle. Got it last October, have done 12k so far with no major issues only little niggles.

I fancy my wheel being on my bonnet, you in gloucestershire or nearby anytime give us a shout!

I wouldn't be suprised at that milage statement personally - many Defenders, especially older ones are likely to have been used on a farm or similar, where they don't need to travel very far, just from field to field in any weather. Hence the low milage? I may be very wrong on this, but it's my...

most of mine has done 102k, not a clue about the engine though as I brought it despite the engine having been fitted 2 owners ago, and the previous owner didn't know... 1989 110, 200tdi

Hi all, I'm struggling here, and yes I am an idiot with very little mechanical knowledge! I have a 110 that was originally a 2.5NA I believe, but has been fitted with a 200tdi by a previous owner. This morning I went out to find yesterday at some point the alternator drive belt had snapped...

well the outcome was they fixed the flat wheel, apparently there was a sticker on the inside of the tyre rubbin against the inner tube, caused a puncture. I enquired if I could expect the same problem on the other three tyres, and was told "probably not"... they were also unable to balance the...

haha well the back of the pickup will be well loaded with 3 chainsaws, biggest is 90cc with a 36" bar on! Also 10 litres of petrol, axes, billhooks etc... :D good thing I'm not easily worked up I suppose! well, off I go. wish me luck...

cheers all, I will let you know what the outcome is tonight. I'm not really the shouting and raging sort, but I will have my dissapointd face on, and hope they get it fixed properly this time!

To be honest the only reason I didn't name and shame in the first post was that at least one of the other forums I post on has a definite no naming policy, resulting in warnings and bans. And I couldn't be arsed to try and find the rules for this site, and trawl through them... but if it saves...

am I allowed to name and shame? OK, here goes... Cheap Tyres Online | UK Car Tyres Shop: Buy Michelin, Pirelli, Continental, Bridgestone

cheers for replies, I think being outside the door all stewed up is probably the answer! Shop is about 15 miles away so will cost me something to get there, a fact I will mention along with being self employed and needing the truck for business. Shop is a large chain, so not a small one man...

Hi chaps, looking for some advice... about two weeks ago I brought 4 nice shiny new General Grabber AT2s for me landy. Tyres were fitted at 2pm, when I went outside the house at 8pm that night two were too flat to drive on!! Managed to get a lift into work the next day, and phoned the tyre...

sorry, should have included first to PM... next time I have anything to give away you have first refusal, will that do?

hello minty... book is gone though I'm afraid had a PM

got given this today, don't really want it as it's not really my sort of thing. So, first one to respond to thread gets it, PM me address to post it to. I'll even pay for postage! Land Rover - The Unbeatable 4x4 K & J Slavin and G N Mackie Published 1984 cheers, Joe

cheers paul, that looks like a simple solution - I'll have to try and make one of those!

just occurred to me - could I buy a light bar (without lights) and mount it on the back of the cab, to rest things on as and when needed? or would this not work? :confused: cheers, Joe

well thanks a lot everyone, it looks like making my own might be the best option! for some reason I often get my hopes up that I will be able to buy exactly what I want for exactly the price I want to pay, and as a result get let down often...

Hi all, I have a 110 pickup (non hi cap) and every now and then have to carry longer items - ladders, 12' wooden rails, etc. My method so far has been to tie them down to the tailgate and resting on the cab roof, so as not to stick out too far backwards and possibly overbalance! What I would...

cheers, forgot to say if anyone needs anything taking up/bringing back let me know, I might put something up in the courier section...
