I know a lovely black 110 up for sale next month. Had a full rebuild 2 years ago by Ray at 4xfortyone - was originally ex-army 110, but not frontline vehicle so still had 4 doors. Disco 200TDi engine, drives sweet as a nut, but a surplus of Landies is forcing my mate to sell it (his wifes run-about at the mo, but she wants something smaller as no longer has to run the Toy Library service).
Only problem, it's in Yarksheer

That int a problem, if he wants it collecting. I'll pick it up & drive it down fer him long as he pays fuel & me return fare.
Aw! Shucks! That's sooo nice of you to offer but I couldn't possibly put you to so much trouble!

No trouble for me I have family in Cornwall so I could visit them while I was down there. My insurance covers me to drive anyother vehicle. And despite what might be said in banter on here I'm not going to run off with yer landy. I managed to deliver Sirus's Pikey wagon from Birmingham to Hartlepool without any mishaps.
Seriously, thanks redhand!
But have you ever heard the expression "Like a kid with a new toy"? I was thinking of the anticpation of the train journey up there and the slooooooow, meandering drive back through all those counties and shires, just me and my new Landy - could take a couple of days if I'm lucky!
What're the pros and cons of the Disco 200tdi against the 300tdi (which was the one I originally wanted)?

Disco 200TDi has same power output as Defender 300TDi (slightly tuned down the engines in the Def.), has an LT77 gearbox instead of R380, a little bit rougher round the edges, and you need a Steve Parker downpipe to mate the exhaust to the turbo - Defs have turbo on top, Discos have it on bottom.

I was offered a 110 last year on an L plate for 2,500 - is that the kind of thing yer lookin for, coz if so the chap's still got it, d'ya want me to see if he's still up for sellin it??? S'nozl.Sorry folks, I have neglected you for a while but there has been much going on! Much discussion and a little 'jiggling' of finances and priorities...
This argument carried a great deal of weight!!!!!!
Anyhoo... there is some GOOD news and some BAD news!
The GOOD news - I CAN HAVE A LANDY, I CAN HAN HAVE A LANDY, I CAN HAVE A LANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (We'll also keep the Focus for now... but who cares?)
The BAD news - 'my' Landy has been sold!
So now I'm on the hunt for another 110 (that I can afford). Wish me luck!
Hi Odenne.
At this point ALL help gratefully accepted, ALL 110s will be considered - at least you're not far away!
I'm not terribly mechanically-minded (if it can't be fixed by shouting, crying or brute strength and ignorance then it can't be fixed by me!)
Valerie is quite mechanically-minded but she won't be in it if it breaks!
I was originally looking at a 1999 model (I think) on the basis of 'the newer, the better' but if it's a good runner there's no harm in asking him.
Thanks.
Just had a thought....
I now realise what my dream LR would be;
110 300tdi 1999(ish)
totally reliable
full safari kit
modded to hold fishing rods and camping gear
runs on other people's litter
free!
Aw, Mum! Don't wanna wake up!
