Now why didn't I think of that...

I did see someone on here who had made one - out of papier-mache...

It's a 2l - I know that much, from the radio configuration (was trying to find out where the damn aux port was) it looks like a base model one since there doesn't appear to be AUX. There is an option though in the radio and an option for bluetooth but nothing connected to them by the looks of it...

Oh I made damn sure it was as close to "like-for-like" as I was going to get. The first woman who phoned up asked how many doors - 5, how many seats - 10... ?! Then just before she hung up I said - oh by the way - you can give me an estate (needed something of a similar size) but seeing as I'll...

Maybe... Although it's a hire car so they've taken note of scratches and so on...

After the nice little shunt I had on the A3 a few weeks ago the "like-for-like" courtesy car arrived today before the 110 goes in tomorrow to fix the minor damage to it. The vehicle it's replacing: And the replacement: The Official Website for Volkswagen UK : Volkswagen UK Oh well...

Been doing a 66 mile round trip each day to and from work this summer 5 days a week and going through about half a tank in my 300Tdi 110 so works out about £60 per week in diesel. What the others mentioned about enjoying the drive - it's particularly useful being able to see over everyone while...

Well unfortunately I haven't had a chance to do anything to it since last Christmas (and even then I was only just able to fit the new alternator, doors and roof-rack). And I don't see myself having any time in the next couple of years either so rather than let it deteriorate sitting there I...

Seeing as you noticed it just before I replied - I hadn't considered it and I'm not going to - why destroy something which needs a little bit more work? The only reason for selling is I just don't have the time to finish it and/or use it so would prefer it to go to a "good home" like a little...

Currently - London / Guildford but the Series is in South-West Wales, border between Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. Having said that I do travel around the country a fair bit (though not in the Series obviously). Price is negotiable, I've put in about £2.2k all told into it and I realise...

It's with a little regret that I've decided it's not worthwhile keeping my Series III, nor fair on it since it just sits there day in day out just getting s*** on by the swallows in the barn. I've put it off for a while but basically I just don't have the time to use it and as a result it's...

Since I've been doing a little reading up on this subject - you'll typically need ~14.4V per battery to begin to charge the batteries so that would equate to ~28.8V for an FFR, if the voltage drops below 10.5 then start worrying (will begin destroying the battery). Typical open-circuit voltage...

Left mine unpainted and quite like the look of it (in fact there's a bit more unpainted than just the chassis). Get some envious looks by people who realise it's a galved chassis. Got it from Richard's though and was substantially cheaper than Marslands and haven't got a bad word to say about...

I had the same issue - the previous owner had superglued the two parts together for water prevention...

Any chance of getting it closer to the M4 from Salisbury? If it's possible to get it closer to the M4 corridor then I can pick it up on Friday evening and drop it off on Sunday evening (per above post).

Since I came across quite a few people who were after the LandyZone courier service thought I'd drop my weekend trip in... Will be going down the M4 corridor (Guildford through Bisley up to Readingish and then off at Swindon to Gloucester - Monmouth - Neath to Pembrokeshire). Leaving...

Point 1) According to these checklists they both do: http://www.4x4network.co.uk/pdf/def-td5.pdf http://www.4x4network.co.uk/pdf/def-300tdi.pdf Point 2) Owned both and although I don't deny there aren't good Td5s out there I've never had a good experience with the one we had. Also never got...

Oh I'm not denying there was something wrong with it (hence why I made a point of saying it was an early one). But after that experience I think I'd skip the Td5 completely if I ever had a chance. To be honest I'm quite happy with my 300Tdi 110 and if I was going to get another vehicle would...

Having had both - an early Td5 90 and a late 300Tdi 110 I'd pick the 300Tdi any day. I can't vouch for the newer Td5s which are meant to be more reliable but never had an issue with sitting at 70 (or 80) all day long in the 110. Recently the 90 was struggling to reach 50 but that we think was...

That doesn't sound overly wide - I've got 265s on my 110 and I always thought the new Rangies had far wider tyres than the BFGs. Might be wrong though - had a quick scout on LRs website and they mention 255. The only way to find out if they rub is to take it out for a drive don't you think?
