    Where do I start?

    Ive found the Haynes Manual, https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/201198699367?chn=ps&adgroupid=47842945425&rlsatarget=pla-380312376691&abcId=1129946&adtype=pla&merchantid=7148274&poi=&googleloc=9045708&device=c&campaignid=974959912&crdt=0 but can find the LR workshop one?

    The more I think about it, the more I think I will say yes, as what I can see I think isn't too expensive and is achievable. Still looking to hear peoples thoughts though and of course any hints or tips;) I am thinking I am letting myself in for something that will gather momentum like a...

    I am guessing they are not huge or expensive jobs, and are to be expected on a 110? I think I am living on a different planet if I should expect not to find a few leaks or weeps?

    I told him I would give him an answer by 1845 today as well. He will hold it for me until then.

    I have been to see and drive it and have the following to report. Pro’s Looks a fairly honest 110. Few knocks here and there, nice and clean inside, chassis and bulkhead looks strong and corrosion free, 2 former keepers before this one, who has had it for 8 years. Folder full of receipts...

    I will thanks. Well as best as my limited brain can handle. I think I will bring a torch, hammer, and make sure I take lots of pics too, that way I can get a second opinion from you guys.

    I have found out a bit more about it. It looks as if it was the company vehicle for bare box?

    Thats great thanks. In some places it looks like surface only, but in others it does look bad.

    Where do I start?

    I will bring a hammer with me and get tapping. Rear cross member, chassis rails, outriggers, bulkhead top corners: Any pointers where to find them all? lol. I think the MOT was done just around the corner a few days ago, so I will pop round and see if I can speak with the guy who did it...

    I looked at a 90 earlier, just for a bit of experience really, not to buy. Could see where they have put a new rear section of the chassis on, and the rest was pretty rusty. I am guessing surface rust will wire brush off and then can be waxed over the top, or treated some other way? Just the...

    Do people service them themselves? I know I must have changed the oil on army rovers about a million times (maybe a little exaggeration). I am guessing most things are achievable at home servicing wise?

    Where do I start?

    Looking back at previous MOT's, it failed a few times on small things like headlight aim or bulbs, and they had the following advisories: 2018 - Advisory notice item(s) · Various oil weeps · Slight play in front propshaft forward UJ · Slight play in rear propshaft rear UJ 2017 - Advisory...

    Where do I start?

    I was thinking of a TDI engine, as it has been said on here the TD5 have more electrics, and the 300tdi are very strong and I think I would be happier working on it if needed. Hopefully the 110 is as described, and i have a friend with a 90 who will come with me after for another look if I am...

    Where do I start?

    I have spoken with him and will go to see it tomorrow. Chassis isn't covered in wax so should be easier to inspect, happy for test drive and the bloke has had it about 7 years, with the chap who is selling it doing servicing etc on it since he has had it. So, other than the rot on chassis and...

    Where do I start?

    Thanks everyone. It is still amazing just how varied the price can be for wildly different vehicles. I have seen this, sounds positive with chassis etc, but some things on it that I am not too keen on, such as graphics and paint, but that is easily remedied I am sure. Any thoughts or views...

    Are there any places easier to fix than others?

    Where do I start?

    So would it be better getting a 10k one, then hope it is ok, or a 5k one, and be prepared to spend a little in time and money to make it better? If I had hair, it would be pulled out.

    Where do I start?

    How could I check if the engine is original? You have set the bar fairly high as I have been looking for a comparable one and I cant find one. It makes me think is there something wrong that they are not saying? I have asked them for details anyway so will see what they come back with...

    Where do I start?

    Yeah that would be the sort of thing that would be perfect. I wouldn't have a clue though if that was a good price, as what affects the prices, such as the year or anything else, or what to look for when looking at it? There is another on his website that is 7 years younger, with less kit...
