CHILL OUT! I actually live in Norway,but your right a kiwi by birth and 20years residence.I must check the width of the track frame on the chipper I was looking at,I don't think it'll fit between the whell tubs on a 110.I might look at a mog and buy some ali ramps to load it with.

200tdi he reckons?What do you think of the asking price,its fairly straight panel wise,chassis and bulk head sound.But £2800?

A mate has a H reg Hi capacity pick up for sale,its covered 155000 miles with a "complete engine rebuild",its rear diff has been replaced and he wants £2800 for it.Sounds to me like its done some serious towing and to me a complete engine rebuild means new...

here the drive ways are very long and windey and we often work on banks.Just backing up to a bank and off loading the chipper is nicer than wrestling with loading ramps,I've driven them off the back of Unimogs and wanted to get that same flexibility.Might look at buying a mog

thats what I thought as well,what about the "hi capacity pickups" do they have bracing under the wheel tubs?I have noticed some of the decks look different from the outside.

Hello I'm looking at buying a 110 to carry a tracked wood chipper about,sick of towing it on a trailer behind the 90.The question is,is the rear deck able to carry a ton and not the raised area on both sides?Or is the whole unit,lowest level and sides rated for that weight?If not,I'd be better...

I plan to buy a 110 for work,it will be carrying about a ton of weight all day and thus when reversing up peoples steep drive ways I would probably put it into low range.I've been told thats ok if your stay in a straight line,but turning would load up the gear box and eventually shag it,or...

I've had a glance at the sites mentioned,not seen too much for sale on here.Ebay is a bit dodgey to me and auto trader is another that I've been looking at.Any other suggestions?

Hello all I've decided a 300tdi powered 90 is the landy for me,but I'm seeing alot of fluctuation in the prices.A vehicle with under 100k on the clock would make me sleep a bit easier.As I'd be coming over from Norway I'd hate to see some thing on Auto trader and find its gone upon...

Sarah I used a bicycle "D" lock over the clutch and brake together,once fitted a theif couldn't get enough swing on a hammer to dislodge it.When I went overseas I'd chain the steering wheel to the "D" lock and remove the rear prop shaft.Yeah a bit over the top but I was living in...

Is it common or practicle to put a turbo on and ex M.O.D Defender?I see a tidy one on Ebay,but peoples biggest moan about N/A Defenders is their lack of acceleration.Valid?

I've been "sniffing around" a few sites and seen a couple of pick ups with over 100K on the clock.With a pick up ,its unlikely thay were "hot miles" eg long drives,rather short hops.I've aways run "Turbo timers" on my diesel's,yes even in the Uk,but in the states I learned that running down the...

Thanks!Keep the info coming,I had a 1996 defender for a while in the UK.Think it was a 200td?

No I just make up words that I think sound Norwegian.Its worked so far.

I've been looking at classified's for a Defender,I see that special mention is made if it has a 300tdi engine,especially if it is in a Landy that originally came out with a 200tdi.What were the problems,if any with the 200tdi donk?Appreciate any replies.

Hello all,I'm a Kiwi living in Norway.I'm looking to buy a Defender for use here,back home I have a modified S2 that I bash around the country in.I lived in the UK for a couple of years and owned two landy's there.Looking forward to reading and contributing to this forum.
