  1. Fair point.. I might have to go check a few out. D3 D4 and Q7 cheers for reply
  2. young one sleeps inside. Not looked yet but q7 must be large inside ? Bloody thing is huuuge. totally agree about the defender though, not knowing if you will make it there is half the adventure. done nc500 couple years ago and apart from a burst rad that I fixed roadside it was faultless. could I do that on a d4 or x5 ? 😖
  3. All I did think about a D2 but I think I just want newer 110 Is deffo basic but I have upgraded some bits, c/locking is a must
  4. Appreciate the reply Stephen thanks. I have met with Ed a couple years ago now. It was his info that helped me to install Range Rover sport seats. ( a mission in itself and still not properly wired in) the seats are super comfy but as I get older and more rounded it’s the small things like elbow space etc that annoy me. I do still love the 110 but due to a new role at work I find I have less time now days to “tinker” if I am completely honest though I think I agree, I’m better off keeping the 110. just needed others to tell me 😁 so it’s 2-0 for the defender at the minute
  5. Cheers for reply As my bones get more achey I guess I’m looking for more comfort ultimately. Looking to spend less time under the truck and more time inside it. Rain and winds ideally kept to the outside. Less noise. still want to load it up for camping but would like to make it a more pleasurable drive to, from and around. forgot to add this isn’t a daily driver. More a toy / weekend thing.
  6. Advice please.. currently own a 110csw but slowing falling out of love. Been superb for a good 7years now and used mainly for camping trips. But after the NC500 I’m considering a swap to a disco 3 or 4 or maybe even something like an Audi q7, x5 Touareg ?? Undecided .. apologies for mentioning the others so for camping, who would go for what.??? I love the defender for how cheap and easy most fixes are but anything newer scares me a little to be honest. No where near as many enthusiasts as LR owners, but even newer discos scare me with all the electricary stuff and general prices for repairs. on my200tdi I can climb in the engine bay with some spanner’s and fix things. Loving the disco 4 for looks and space.. just need others to talk me into it.. or out of as the case may be cheers all
  7. I made a side addition out of 25mm box and the push in connector thingys..covered in a waterproof and wind proof very tough material.. I’ll dig out a link to it..lasted well for a good few years, even the NC500. I then changed to a Vango side awning for a more “pro” look. I went with the poled version but now wish I hadn’t been so tight and gone for the pump up air version. good thing with the Vango is that you can leave kit in it, detach from vehicle and clear off for the day in the truck.
  8. I’ll be honest I couldn’t ever see me drifting in my 110. I would end up spending me money on new pants instead of parts Great info though 👍
  9. I like that check.. good idea. I’ll try a run out today then see what I can feel. Pretty sure I done all of them about 2yrs ago, very limited mileage since then (probably about 300 per year) except for the nc500 run which added about 2100 just last week. appreciate the quick reply 👍
  10. Anyone offer anything ?? got a noise appeared on way back from nc500. Sounds like wheel bearing but had all 4 off the ground and nothing seems to move or jiggle around noise seems to appear between 50&55 then disappears, fine upto 70 but then again between 70&72 and fine again after that .. not that it goes much further diff oils are looking fine. Not checked both boxes yet .. but no obvious leaks ( unless they are empty of course) lol quick google and someone mentions prop weights or Uj’s ?? anyone thanks troops
  11. Apologies for delay.. I been off grid. cheers Reb.. sounds like I’m in similar situation as you were. Roof tent plus other bits on a rack. I deffo need to get the bar fitted I think. Thanks
  12. Hmmm .. pretty sure the rad was fairly newish.. 2017 I think but probably only 1500 miles max. Would of expected something else to give first. Hey ho.. all good for now 😉
  13. Appreciate the info fellas.. jelly on wheels sounds spot on.. I think I may invest. Pretty sure the chassis mounts are there. cheers
