    New diesel 110 help

    Thanks guys. I've decided to leave this one alone! Too many negatives. Was clinging on to the fact it was reasonably priced & not a million miles away from Cornwall!! Will cast my eye further afield & raze my budget I think.

    I hope my wife doesn't read this!!! I do think the 2500 is a good price. Just not too enginethingy savvy It's the 90mi trip back I'm concerned about. May have to rely on RAC to get back to Falmouth!!

    Do you think.... maybe because it's not the original engine but maybe original temp gauge, that's why it's reading in the red, even when it's just sitting there ticking over?? More help

    Well gentleman, I've been and inspected 'Hulk' and it is as you said a giant Nissan motor! Are they a good engine to own? The Landy is pretty tatty, but to be expected & mainly cosmetic. The chassis crossmembers are rusty but not too bad. £2500 does seem an ok deal!?! She was running fine &...

    Evening all! I'm about to buy a 1989 110 3.5 v8 4c sw diesel turbo. All looking good, but whilst using a insurance comparison site the Landry in question comes up as Petrol!!

    Roof tent wanted

    Thanks. I was more thinking of using in a wood near by, not full on off roading. Thinking my 4 year old son would love sleeping on top of his beloved Landy upon the trees! There's one on eBay now, but a long way from Cornwall & they're mega bucks new
