New but kind of the same. (Landy)

Well I'd bin toying with selling the landy for over a year but I never found anything to replace it with. So my landy was a 110 xs double cab. Had it for 5 years and loved it added a few bits along the way light grills. Bigger tyres changed the canopy to black. Different air filter uprated rear springs and a better anti roll bar then the best bit was a twisted performance p6 remap and removed the speed limiter and a few other little bits. Never really took many photos but heres a couple.

It a cracking car it was always driven hard from day one. Pull lots of weight about and never let me down badly just a few odd problems every now and then when I 1st had it. So what to replace it with? My work has changed a little now I never use to do long drives now more often I've got to go a view jobs go and give advice and a bit more motorway driving. So what to get and I needed something fairly quickly as my old one sold with out even having it up for sale. VW sportline van? I did fancy one but I didn't want a van as a daily. Didn't want a jap pickup truck as I'd had a l200 and liked it but it was dull missed what I waned something that made me smile. So American pick up? No to chavy. So I used a friends 110 a few times while I was thinking

And I new I just needed a landy again but with different mods this was like driving a bag of s**t bad tyres and 2" lift felt terrible. So I was on the phone to land rover after a few weeks and found a black 110 xs again but this time van back as my old pick up one I found the pickup part unusable. Only got one photo so far as its bin getting driven but here it is I will get more as I've got a lot of plans for this one.

So far I've put hands free in. Bumper caps, speed limiter removed slight tints on the windows, to be done over the next year small steering wheel. Led headlights led rear lights, new shocks, springs (2" drop) change the front grill, front bumper, custom map I need something like a twisted p10 only different as there cars don't pull the weight. Different exhaust, intercooler, Recaro seats and different alloys. Some of you might say I should have got one already done ie a twisted 110 but I've looked and spoken to Charlie loads of times and I just can't get 110% what I want. I will update it over time. O and my new one is a 2.2 my old one was a 2.4 so far the engine feels good I think it'll be abit more fun once its finished.

  A special one.
Cracking love these.

I was going to buy a 90 TD5 in 2002, I didnt need one I just wanted one but for me it was just to plan inside.
Ended up with a Golf gt tdi 130.

Im going to be doing an off road experience for my b/day in November.

There's something about them that's special. They've move in a bit now since the td5 ones the heaters and AC work in the new ones mine half leather at the mo but I will have full leather dash, door cards and recaros by march I am hoping maybe if its good at work before Christmas, I've only done the land rover experience days and they are good fun just with you could go a bit faster. I am waiting for really bad weather to book my next ones.

I liked it until I read you lowered it...:(

I couldn't lift it it will tow like a ford escort! My friends one has bin lifted and its bad as soon as the trailer goes on ok its a standard engine but its not worth it i am more than often right on my weight limit I need to make the car and stady as poss less strain on the gear box. My old one did 86k and was starting to play up my friends has done 29k and its had a clutch already.



You have too much money.

What was the speed limiter set to before?


I wish! Land rover set it at 82mph I removed that right away. On my private run way it would easily tow at 70mph with a average load and empty it would sit at 80/85mph with out the trailer it was ace but you have to get the windscreen sealed abit better they aren't very good at 100+

I am game for that if you are raid just let me get a few bits done 1st I've bin looking all day for parts can't make my mind up on what to get 1st needs mapping or led headlight just the lights seam a bit much at £800 to £1200 and its hard to work out what the difference is.

Really good fun and MASSIVELY capable machines. You can fit a fair bit of weight to the roof too, we had 50 5m lengths of decking on his old 90 and it pulled like a train!

Lol mate have you bin in a defender it's not the safest car in the world they don't have a airbag or nothing. There's massive amounts of body roll, not the easiest car to slow down as well. Also if you did take the limiter off and not get the windscreen resaled or made stronger they can pop out at 104mph

Lee, these are the sorts of things you should say when you introduce yourself to people.

'Hi, I'm Lee, and my dad has a f**king awesome landrover'
