After a long wait

I'm chuffed to fook - it's sad but am I bothered?? Got me works motor back at long last. Had to give it up last year when one of our lads fell asleep driving and wrote two of the trucks off. Had to put up with a selection of knackered Freelanders, a VW Fox girlcar, Shitroen Berlingo garlic munching shed and a handfull of various Land Rover 90/110/130's as and when.

Anyway, welcome back to me turbocharged, 6 speed, selectable 4wd, all aluminium lightweight body, stripped out, 2 seat, Land Rover Defender 90 Not everyones ideal works car but perfect for what I need



Photo was taken about two days before Honda pulled out of F1 - rumour has it once they'd seen the engineering genius on the 90 they gave up trying..........

Just need to cut the roof off and get a WMIK sorted now......

I love defenders

So do you climb trees..............?

Work on the powerline survey / planning side of things but get out cutting with the lads when I can.

bet you wont be lending that to anyone any time soon lol

Na, gonna be getting very precious over it I think

cool works car m8
i have a thing for defenders

Yeah, me too! Loved them when I was a kid and always wanted one. First time I drove one I thought 'this is so bad I love it even more' They've gradually gotten better over the years and this latest version is excellent. Got the Ford Transit 2.4 Turbo Diesel engine - 120BHP / 266 LbFt torque and 6-speed gearbox - pretty much unstoppable off road if driven right. It's even got a nearly normal interior and dash!

a friend of mine has a 110
lifted and wider wheels on it roof rack outside rollcage tent.....
he's going on a trip truogh afrika with it next year and it's a fantastic car

Sounds

He'll love Africa - spent a few years there myself, the 110 is the car to be in

he will he can't w8 to be there
i'll tell him that he chose the best car for his trip

How sad is my son .. posting pics of his works Landy .. it must be your birthday soon .. getting that back
Africa .. that was the place to have a 110 .. best thing in deep sand, especially with a powerfull winch on the front.

Carefull........

But tis cool

Fucking land rovers are fucking shite

Had no rain up here for weeks - today it's pissed down non stop, all day. So guess what? This morning, after 20mins of driving the windscreen wipers stopped working, totally knackered. MINT!! All day and 200 miles with radar vision. And, because land rovers never, ever go wrong the local dealership for warranty repair is fully booked untill 22 July WooHoo - looking forward to the 100 mile drive home tomorrow.... Fucking brummy built bastard heap of yam yam bollox

FPMSL , totally agree land rovers are total shite.

give me a jap 4x4 all day over a landy.

"Not everyones ideal works car but perfect for what I need".........unless its slightly damp outside.

Presumably thats why they are mint in Africa

I love my Landy definately earned it's keep when we had all that snow dragging cars out of ditches etc etc Never argues with starting etc, little bits don't work perfectly but does it's job

Been pretty reliable up to now - only needed a new gearbox at 3000miles old and rear brakes recall Just sort of accept that not everythings gonna work

Agree with the Jap 4x4 statement but boss struggles to get his head round anything but land rover. We've got one mitshi L200 and never had a bit of bother with it. The defenders still the best off road though, if it can be arsed........

isn't it just a fuse rsomething??

No mate tried that, just blew it again.

crap then it would probs be a shortcut in the whipermotor rsomething like that
