Land Rover 110 Van

well if finally pulled my finger out and bought a new car...van... thing lol

its a 1987 Land Rover 110 2.5TD, absolutely love it may njot have the desired engine in it but i can see me keeping it for a long time where getting an engine swap may be done when im older..and wealthier lol

Beige in colour.. lol

had to get the brackets and other steel parts brushed and painted with Hammerite to protect it from the weather

thinking of painting them black and maybe choosing other parts for a black and white theme... but got a feeling black and white is too obvious?

ideas for a another colour to do little bits to cut up the beige please

hoping to even paint it a nice bright white afer ive got things done on it,
WAXOYL is on the agenda to protect the chassis, DIY ftw.. lol, should be a very very fun job...

will get pictures up when im home

Pictures...

whats wrong with the 2.5td? had one in my disco and i abused the hell out of it with the boost and fuel turned up fairly high and didnt have any problems. Oh yeah and i ran it on waste oil and cherry mix LOL

waxoyl and undersealing is the most 5hite5t job ever but get some pics up

ive got nothing against the TD engine... just 18-25mpg is the fun part but still i love driving it sitting at 50-55 has never been so fun




But its a land rover... I LOVE IT simples


pictures of it will be asap, gotta get ou of college soon lol

waxoyl is going to be fun fun.. ahh well the smells good so i can live with it

Sounds awesome dude, gets some pics up asap!

I love 110's, infact i love all defenders! Used to rock about in a 110 diesel when i did some work on the farm, was always a good laugh through the rough parts!

I still really want a 110 double cab pick up as a toy, a fully loaded one that is!

yeah your right they are bloody terrible on MPG lol

i bet it does more mpg than my jeep haha

it probably does do more than your jeep but when our diesel is 112p, yours is around 55p....

i remember being in canada in summer i was like look your petrol is around the same price per litre.. then was like wait.... the exchange rate is like half ours.. so $1.10 is 55p here.. i was jealous, 20 dollars half filled a car...

i hated it so much

but the amount my jeep drinks it dont work out that cheap haha but it is cheaper if i had a decent car

lol im sure its lovely to drive though... compared to my driving position where i have to have my window wound down to properly navigate roundabouts lol

PLEASE PLEASE say youve gone to Tim Hortons near you... amazing coffee lol

you anywhere near Kitchener or Cambridge at all?

its ok to drive alot better than the golf

i dont drink coffee

i love landys used to have a disco and think i may still have some bits for landys





i do miss not having a landy

Just drove into college tis morning and after parking up realised the massive patch of multi-coloured water underneath the van.. NOT GOOD

got to try and get under it to see where its coming from

GARHH

dont worry about that its a land rover thing just marking its teritory lol what ya wanna do though is get a lil lift kit for it and for a bit of fun off road a set of kumo kl71's my old man had some on his and for the price of them there were a good laugh or if ya just wanna go any were get some simex extreme trekkers my old man also had a set of them and there were the bolloxs

I adore these. I worked for landrover when I left college. I worked on a few camel trophys and a lot of publicity stuff. When the disco came out they were at the top on all promo expeditions. The support units were all defenders or wolfs.
If she gets too much let me know, I could do with one in my life

lol they're absolutely awesome, im hating it at the moment, but the love comes from the hatred of it
lol


well Bigmonty... everything has a price lol

Believe me, that thing is worth more than I would ever offer you for it. My dad has two of the original camel trophy 110's sat in his barn, they are fetching over 30k a piece. Check out some of the trader ads a stock clean 110 is fetching 3K plus. These motors dont lose money.
But keep it and love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your dad has two original camel 110's... oh dear goodness i want to see them pretty please lol

i got list of plans for it, then i think it might have to go sometime after xmas as its costing too much lol

WAXOYL

1 - Replace Front wings
2 - Bang out dents
3 - Replace Rear Bed - new Alu Sheet, and put into the back,the inside gets wet from the road upwards....
4 - Paint

Then see what happens

Mate ! He has stuff he wont show me !
He got the 110's when I worked for them. I thing he gave a grand a piece for them. One of them is a tooley mobile workshop. I have been trying to blag this for years. Thou he has started selling some so fingers crossed

spent today cursing wildly..

went to start up the land rover this morning and all it does is take ages to start up and when it does revs out high for about 5 secs and then throttle completely dies and the thing wont turn on again...

im lost as to what it could be?

Used to own a series 2 swb 2 ltr 1969 ! Used it when we used to do outdoor party`s,was a great laugh.took all the doors off it one weekend.Had a gig at the Junction,was not fun coming back home at 6.30 in the morning freezing cold,so had to put them back on ! Did get so many funny looks driving down the a 14 with no doors ! I gave it so much abuse,drove it around for about a month with no clutch,just used the starter to start it in 2nd and off you go !
One of my mates is about to buy an ex russian army 6x6 6ltr Zil 131,ex radio vehicle ,awesome but only does about 8 to the gallon !
