Vinnies Defender 110 CSW 300TDI

Boost alloys look damned fine on Defenders.. nice 110 you got there..

got told alloys should not be on a 110 as there too heavy,but mines a van,maybe different for a csw? nice 110 though vinnie,loving the garage

Disco Alloys aren't rated for a 110 but there's plenty of alloys, Both LR and aftermarket, that are.

Great 110,and what a workshop,you are one lucky bloke.

Looking good Vinnie, glad to see your back safe, got rid of the whirring release bearing noise yet? You'll have to pop round for a brew if your still around here.

Nice workshop and landy

Tidy looking motor, you are obviously keeping on top of that job!

Like the other, very envious of your facilities up there.

Cheers gents, having the indoor space has its advantages and have air tools on ma vehicles that I some times utilise.

The Boost alloys came of a 2012 defender right off, few scratches but I,m happy, anyhow more photos,

So when I bought her she had a cheap aftermarket rear door, everything on it was ****e so ****ed up ebay and 380 quid later I had this from a breakers!



Came with everything but the electrics were a ballache and had to get some help getting the rear wiper to play on a 300tdi electrical system.fitted in blue then resprayed in Epsom green.





Thought I was doing well with exterior but them ma daft dugs did this one morning!



Currently saving pennies for snorkel and rock sliders, but allways doing some thing to the running gear and engine....keeps me off the drink!

Nice looking 110 and a lovely place to work on it too

I don't always work in my hanger sometimes rough it outside and just drink beer and spanner away





In the summer I had to use this Puma whilst in Kenya , good on the road but I wasn't sold cross country



Prefer my old girl for towing , not as fast but I prefer her for cross country
