    Low mileage TD5 110. Rechassis or sell?

    I got my 110 Double cab re-chassied by Engine 710 in South Queensferry last July the cost was 6k. I didn't need anything else done other than the chassis.

    Is a landrover 90 station wagon a car or commercial vehicle?

    If you drive a "dual purpose vehicle" a pick up with four doors, five seats ,four wheel drive and an unladen weight of no more than 2040 kg you can drive at " car" speeds, heavier than that you are restricted to 50mph on A roads and 60mph on motorways.

    Which would be better in snow?

    I have to drive along snowy forestry and mountain tracks for work, you can't beat four chains. Often I have to smash my way through snow drifts sometimes having to take several runs at a drift.

    90 TD5 - space saver wheels - advice appreciated!

    Just get four steel rims and fit them without tyres, will do what you want very cheaply.

    A 1972 headache...

    Not sure what you mean about " swapping the standard selector for the high/low selector ". But if your capable of removing the engine you will be able to swap parts from one gear box to another.
