Cool thanks that places ours very early. Registered within two months of launch. Definitely a keeper then shame it's not standard but I don't mind.

Does anyone know the actual date the 110 was first released I know it was 83 but what month. We have an early 110 and I would like to now how early it is.

The only problem with routing the intake outside is you make your noise problems into your neighbors problem. That may not go well....The generators we fit on boats are in boxes with open cell egg box style foam on the inside and a barrier in front of the inlet (as already mentioned) again covered with foam.

It should be straight. You could try to straighten it but if it cracks or breaks it's useless having said that it isn't much good now so you have little to lose.

With the best will in the world you will never make a defender as quiet as a disco for two main reasons.
1, a disco body is rubber mounted the defender is solid.
2, the panels on a disco fit, are joined together properly and seam sealed.
Sorry but if you want a quiet truck buy something else.
I bought this:

For my ibex but haven't fitted it yet and the truck is no where near the road.

They look like the military version as they don't have the connections for the interior handle (early 110) they have just a lift up handle instead.

I know that the early range rovers had waterproof wipe down seats. Maybe the poverty spec came with rubber mats but I suspect most people ordered the carpet option. That said the discovery rubber mats (on top of the carpet) were designed so mud stayed on them hence the raised lip all around that way you could lift them out hose and them down.

My 100inch tomcat was 1800kg so as a guess I would say a 110sw is going to be around 2000kg in running form. I remember a figure of 2025kg being banded around but have never weighed one.

I'll start it with the strata Florida (off road) in Wales. The best off road I've driven in the uk.
As for road probably the hard Knott pass (lake district).
Mike
That's what we're planning on but they needed an estimate to work with. I've now found somewhere and waiting for them to come back with a price so I can pass it on to insurance.
Mike
The wife had a little bump in the 110 tonight so I now need to get an estimate for repairs. Of coarse this is tricky as I normally repair everything myself. So I need a garage to give me an estimate but I'm unlikely to use them as I've already pulled it all out. Anyone got any ideas where I can go.
Mike
The clutch doesn't normally have a servo but it should bleed up even if it does and it's knackered. Crack each joint one at a time starting at the master pumping each time if you get fluid move on if not there's your problem.

Get a jump lead and connect it to the battery neg and to the engine and start it. If it starts better then you neg lead needs looking at. Do the same to the chassis to check that one. On 45 the neg goes from the battery to the chassis then on to the transfer box. The 110 only had one to the chassis so I added one to the transfer box.
