Well A bargain surely at £50

Also try Auto Trader, there's a lot on there and prices seem a bit better than Ebay.

You can buy "plug and play" where you just plug the replacement ECU in. l think it's just the immobiliser that's disabled. There's a company near me who does them. Around £700 when l bought one.

The TD5 engine should be fine, you might take ancillary items such as an alternator and water pump. Oh and a spare ECU as they are now starting to fail without warning and you won't repair that at the side of the road.

You want to take a whole engine?

Good 110's tend to be £15,000+ That 2005 90XS looks like a great price if the chassis is good, definitely worth a visit to view it. Again, that's the best specification and the best year (after they fitted the better doors but before the big road tax increase after March 2006) Prices have...

What about that blue one on Ebay. lt's an earlier one (but it's got the updated dash which was introduced in 2002) and not the XS so no ABS/aircon etc. ln fact it's the basic SW with vinyl seats and no central locking or electric windows. Although that can be a good thing...less to go wrong.

The chassis is a lot better on this one (no connection to seller l was just having a quick look on Ebay) https://ebay.us/m/goK8l2

Why not try a "wanted" advert on here, and the other popular Land Rover forum is worth putting a "wanted" message on as well.

Sadly yes having looked at those pictures the chassis doesn't look good particularly at the rear.

lt's cheap for a late 110XS Station Wagon, and looks basically okay. lt will probably need a rear crossmember in the not too distant future and it definitely needs rustproofing underneath. I would also expect to replace the mid crossmember. Good news is, being a late 54 plate it's got the one...

Looks like the O/P has come, and gone. l hope he finds the Land Rover that he wants.

Note Cruise control won't work with the O/D you need to fit a speedo healer.

US$26,000 is probably about right for that Land Rover, when you look at the price good ones go for in the USA. l've seen them at $60,000. But as above, maybe if you could import one yourself. Good Series 3's in the U.K. are in the region UK£15-20,000 I don't know what if any import taxes etc...

Yes standard TD5 transmission. You can fit an overdrive which adds a sixth gear, but it costs over £2,000 Alternatively you can fit a Discovery transfer box but that raises the gearing in every gear which means higher intermediate gears. At 60 mph with the standard transmission it's okay on...
