    90 or 110 which is best for towing?

    For stability I'd go for a 110. I've towed with a 200Tdi 90 (10x5 3.5T trailer) and my Td5 110 with the same trailer and although the 90 had no trouble I find the 110 better. Only main difference is the engine - loved my 200Tdi but my Td5 has now been chipped for towing/economy and it pulls...

    Mine did this when the bottle seal on the rear door was knackered - might be worth a look?

    Wiper Problems 110 TD5

    I've got a 2002 110 and had a similar problems for a while until one wiper gave up totally. I bought a replacement wheel box off ebay, spent ages replacing it as so much dash has to come out - worked for about a week and failed again :mad: Second time around I bought genuine wiper boxes...

    Is there a heater common fault? (TD5)

    Is the engine getting up to temp ok? Check coolent level, mine dropped too low I like you lost all heat from the blowers. Topped it back to correct level and came back to life. also had a issue with thermostat a few years ago, took ages to get up to temp and would loose it whilst sat in...

    New Defender 110 XS called Larry!

    Not too sure on power but would guess 170 - 180bhp? I specified the tune for towing and whatever the bhp is it's made towing a lot better. With a full load of timber on a particular hill I was in second and sometimes first. After the tune its still pulling in forth!!! I've got a straight...

    New Defender 110 XS called Larry!

    No worries - depends how far you want to go, I went for a stage 3 (remap, intercooler, egr blank, exhaust, etc) specifically for towing/economy as I tow a 3.5 tonne trailer on a regular basis for work. It's made towing far better and without trailer I'm getting 33mpg on a good run (also got a...

    Project 1989 90 (Bruce)

    Glad you got it installed ok. Mine was a bit noisy for the first few thousand miles but now its nice and quiet. Makes motorway stuff much better and if I'm not towing I sometime leave it engaged from first. Pulls away in first no problems. Enjoy :-)

    Project 1989 90 (Bruce)

    One of the best things I've bought for my 110. 2000 mile round trip to the alps last year was a lot more relaxed with it fitted. Couldn't imagine not having it now :-)

    my 110 hi cap

    Nice - I'll be interested to see the tipper conversion - I do tree work as well :D Currently I have a 110 hard top with a 10 x 5 tipper trailer. Works ok ish for us but ideally want to get a 130 double cab with tipper body - bugga is they're silly money to buy. Keep us posted :)

    Defender 110 - technical questions -

    I've had a GKN overdrive on a 200Tdi 90. Had no problems as all (including a lot of heavy towing) although I've heard of electrical problems. I now have a Td5 110 and still do a lot of heavy towing. When I looked into getting an overdrive for a trip to the French Alps I decided to go for a...
