I had the same - they told me they only insured standard cars and as my 110 CSW had 10 seats they couldnt insure it. If I took 4 seats out then it would be ok though. Admiral Multi Car were fine.

On my drive, boxed in by cars, rubbish, spare parts, tractor trailer etc I have taken a 'Home Alone' style of security - ie anyone would think the landy is boobytrapped.. 1..Make your way over the piles of clay that have fallen from underneath the landy since the last off roading...

Did anyone else go to Slindon today? Had a great day, stuck mainly to the white routes though ventured off a few times, had a few scarey moments, a few quicker than expected hill descents and some submarine impressions, without a snorkel. Really enjoyed my first PnP outing, and despite a few...

I'm thinking of going there myself. If I do would love to meet up with guys there, am a complete novice so will probbaly be sticking to white routes though.

I've not been but have thought about it as its my closest pay and play, I have heard that is a bit full of 'ooligans, quads steaming around at full speed etc, dont know how true this is but as a noob its enough to put me off. Be interested in other peoples experiences there.

When I bought my 110 the seller for some reason dropped the price by £1000 just as I was about to buy it. This has meant that everything I've wanted to buy has been ok cos 'I'm a £1000 up', I reckon that £1000 has well and truly gone but I've still got a huge shopping wish list :)

Yep youre right. Mine was the least modded there, although a bit modded since I seem to have crushed my side steps :) Maybe I'll start with a snorkel and by this time next year it'll be a bob tailed tray back with an external roll cage and a V8!! But now I want some rain so I can get more MUD.

Yesterday I finally did it and had my first off roading day and absolutely loved it. Was astonished at how capable my 110 was going up and down hills that I thought would have me in a crumpled heap at the bottom. I think this was more due to the vehicle and to the on site guidance but I'm...

Thanks, you are Professor Land Rover! So basically once it is selected properly it should stay in. So as long as I dont get to a precapice before selecting low I should be safe enough. I did do a course last week where the instructor told me I could engage diff lock and disengage whilst...

Sometimes I put it into low ratio and when I pull off it jumps back into neutral and I have no drive. I am guessing that its because its not fully engaging and have found that if I have it in gear and bring the clutch up slightly then low ratio seems to engage better. Is this 'normal' - my...

I'm in a similar situation.. I have a BMW 320d Touring which is 'fine' economical etc So I bought my 110 as a second car expecting to use it just at weekends, off roading, snow etc. Trouble is I love it so much that rather than battling along at xx(x) mph in the BM I prefer to gurgle...

Don't let it put you off cos I'm all waxoyled up and raring to go . Am going to Boxgrove next weekend I think but any time your planning another trip let us know..

Yes it is definately a nice feeling. I keep kneeling down and looking underneath to admire the new paint job - looks better than the oxidising green on the body! Looks like you've got a great set up there and it looks great. Am so glad I didnt put pics up, the mounds of waxoyl laden...

No matter how many times I jet washed and scrubbed I kept uncovering areas where potfulls of mud had collected. I used black most places and clear inside the rails. I found the gun spray had a good range and coverage and got on top of the rails fine.

Yes all done. Actually I probably only used 10% white spirit inside the chassis box sections but the weather was hot, the now waxoyled black chassis was hot and the waxoyl was water and sun heated. I was struggling with the poxy piece of plastic tube that came with my schultz gun so I just...
