Hello people, i am just after some opinions regarding 110 engines please.
I am currently in between landrovers (have had 2 discos) and i can't stand my 'normal' car anymore. I really want a 110/defender 110 sw and am looking to spend £2500 - £4000. I only do 2 or 3 thousand miles a year but am looking at caravans aswell so fuel consumption is fairly important.
I have basic mechanical skills and enjoy doing my own servicing.
I like the v8 noise but one of they would have to be converted to lpg and i'm not sure about that, i don't like the idea of a gas tank behind the kids seats. I know the basics of the tdi engines but find the earlier diesels appealing, but don't know if an old one would pull a 1500kg caravan?
Is it just personal preference or is there an engine for me?
Any other general 110 buying advice would also be much appreciated
Ryan
