Already posted a few bits but: Defender 110XS (on a 57 plate) being delivered next week. Live in Cornwall right out in the sticks. Married with a two year old and another due in Feb. Very into surfing, MTBing, running, triathlons. Am getting too old too quickly. Also have a BM 335d - a...

Ermm - the pages are a wee bit smaller than A4 and the author is a friend of my mum - I don't really know her well but she made a lovely teddy for our little boy! I can try and find out what shops it's in - might just be Cornwall so far.

Goon - it was a fair while back. Now run a little PR company! Nothing gets the pulse racing like standing in a 1m wide 2m deep pit (dug by a JCB) under a 110 in the pi55ing rain doing a soil hardness test (I've forgotten the name of the test - it was that long ago - used kit mounted on a Landy...

Interested in what else people drive. Defender (ours arrives next week) are obviously quite "raw" and possibly make say a long motorway journey a bit knackering! I remember driving to the IoW from Bristol, doing a day's Geotech Engineering work then coming back in a day in a lightly modded...

Mike - at the risk of getting flamed again... I would say best target age is 3-5ish. It's not a particularly long book (ermm - 20ish pages?). Takes me about 5 mins to read it to our 2 year old. Not sure what shops it's available in - not that many that I know of. "Fender" comes out next year -...

I did genuinely try and find the "right" section and thought this was it? Apologies if not and feel free to delete the thread. Anyway, 110 XS Defender on a 57 place being delivered next week and I cannot freaking wait!!!

Nice. I also happen to have a defender on order though...

Hi All, A new (when it's delivered!) Defender owner here. My mum's friend recently wrote (and illustrated) a book about an old Landy that some of you might like? My little 2 year old loves it. A few more details at: Welcome to Landy Books Nothing in it for me, I just think it's a...

Cool! Same unit as in our BM. Bet that's fun!

I voted 2.4TDCi as that what our new one has! However I have a feeling it may be the most unpopular engine here. Oh well - the "bump" on the bonnet looks quite cool. Actually think my 35d unit (in our BM 335d) is one of the best diesel units out there. Almost 300bhp (most kick out over 300...

Thanks again - really handy info. I do have a pressure washer and a fairly well stocked garage and am used to the minging job of removing barnacles and cr4p off our boat hull (some of it means lying under it and getting covered in fishy stinking gunk!) with it but this might be a bit more...

Cool - cheers for that! Some have mentioned getting the underside cleaned and waxoyled. But for £500! Is that worth doing too?!

Cheers Mr JC - I think a diff guard will be a definite must have item as well as steering guards. Any idea what sort of price I should be looking at for both? Fear not - no snorkel or spots!

Eddy - most definitely! This beastie will be seeing some serious off road action! Loads of great tracks down here. Also need it for boat towing and launching, often from fairly awkward places. Cheers for the warm welcome all!

Me too...:(

997 - veeeery nice! It's a Station Wagon but with 5 seats so loads of room in the back for our stuff/MTBs/surfboards/etc. This is it:

Deposit went down on a 110 today - being delivered next week. 57 reg 110 XS with 30k mile on the clock. I know it's probably not much of an "enthusiasts" Defender but can't wait! Got it in Tonga Green with a few extras. Been wanting one for years and now finally got there. With the...

Bought one - 57 reg, 30k mile 110 XS in Tonga Green. Being delivered next week -can't wait!!!

Cheers all. Think we have our hearts set on a 2.4D - the newer interior and seats appeal a lot over the td5 and prices don't seem to be that much different. Probably being slightly insane. So if we did look to get one, do we need to search out a particular year (i.e. with the "early" ones being...

The search begins - think we might up the budget and go for a 110 County or XS 2.4TDCi station OR utility wagon as we need "proper" back seats so we can secure baby seats (one two year old, another due soon). How hated is the new engine? More than the Td5?
