Hah, done and done! All the extra bits I'll be buying have been sorted by WAF !

Haha, i admit i did think of the sock solution - luckily euro had the filter in stock the day i discovered it! Def won't be going to the same place as its london and I'm down in Devon, I've had a few recommendations of places, but I'd like to learn how to do the bulk myself (been poring over the...

Ok, i feel a lot better now (was expecting to have to start hiding money under the mattress to prepare for the big bill!) - thanks everyone! PS I've been checking the gear/transfer box and axle levels and they seem fine - didnt think about wrong grade - all the servicing was done by a...

Thanks Littelwil - No nothing but a bit of an oil residue, no leaves etc. The gap around the base of the air filter (going up to the turbo) was huge though, I can't imagine there was any filtration at all - the gap was about 8cm/3", so air/dirt/etc could just come straight from the inlet direct...

Hi all I recently bought a nice defender 110 with a 200tdi engine, its been going well and in the month or so I've had it, its been great. I decided to check on the air filter the other day, and noticed that the filter in the air filter drum was too short, so effectively there has been no air...

Thanks Guys Would you say galvanised chassis and bulkhead is more important than low miles? It looks like an engine recon is cheaper than replacing either of these! I figured I'll want these anyway, so might as well get one with them done already Cheers,

Thanks for all the answers! I recently saw one with galvanised chassis (but pretty rotten bulkhead) for 3500. Doors were looking a bit sad at the bottom, but new plates in the floor, and some recent work on the engine. Also had a disco transfer box, which I liked the sound of (better high ratio...

Hi all SWMBO and I have decided to get a landy, which I'll be using for commuting when I'm not on the bike (devon lanes). I'm looking for a nice 110 with a 200 engine and pref a galvanised chassis. I'm guessing that worst case scenario (ie i can prob get cheaper) for extra money to keep aside...
