Hello again, Does anyone know of a quality secure, safe and 'comfortable' attachment to a 110 double cab (2002) that could transport dogs etc. Any suggestions/advice appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks very much. I will get onto that. Any ideas about the lighting rack? -
1986 ex mod 90 lights/chequer plating
scoaf replied to scoaf's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
I am pretty sure the fittings are moulded into the bonnet unfortunately. They are rather unsightly! -
Hi everyone. Once again I require some expert advice. I have a 1986 ex mod 90. I'm in the process of 'doing it up' but have issues with my bonnet. I have remounted spare wheel to inside bulkhead and I am left with the fitting on the bonnet. I want chequer plating across the whole bonnet. Would it be easier to buy a new bonnet or cut them off? Also, how difficult is it for an idiot (me) to fit and wire up some roof lights? Is that a professional job? Thanks for any suggestions!

Bottled it! Sticking with F2 for wife comfort and 86 90 for now. Bloody children ruining plans! ???
-
Hahaha! I may just need that. I will keep you informed...... Hopefully ? but probably ????????????? and eventually ??????
-
Ah the reasoning of wives! That is an entirely different thread! I think I'm going for it without approval and expect an initial nuclear fallout and then slow realisation of how awesome 90s are! Cheers everyone!
-
Great response, cheers bm. Music to my ears! Do you have kids/dogs though. The one I'm hopefully getting has a safari roof rack and ladder for extra storage.

I know complete contradiction! 2009 xs is obviously vastly superior! She doesn't have a manual license so she couldn't drive it anyway. But she loves being driven! It's so frustrating as she doesn't understand my reasons for wanting to change!
-
Thanks mat! I think I get your thoughts. My wife is completely against a 90 sw unfortunately!
-
Oh and merry Christmas! ??????

Thanks but the discos don't really float my boat. Beautiful cars (3/4) but too expensive to run etc. My wife loves my 1986 90 so she should love a 2009 xs model. I had a freelander 1. It was awful! Sorry. We don't have any children yet. Only dogs. 4 of them. Would a defender hold its value better then? In that case I may get the 90 and then trade up for a 110 when children are imminent. Thanks for advice everyone.

Thanks for all the replies. Really appreciated. Looks like I will have to stick with what I have and replan. Deposit lost but better that than losing a wife! (In most cases anyway...???)

Hello everyone, I need some advice. I have just put a deposit on a 2009 90 SW XS in part ex for my F2 2010 HSE. I also have a 1986 90 ex mod which I plan to sell. My reasons were 1. Running 2 cars too expensive. 2. Freelander 2 depreciation is more than SW 3. Combination of the 2 vehicles. 4. Versatility for 4 dogs. 5. Safari roof rack for extra storage. Anyway my wife hit the roof! No suitable etcetera I was hoping for advice as to if it is a ridiculous move. Could I swap out cubby box for 3rd seat that is baby/child friendly? Any advice would be appreciated. 110 are too big for me btw!
-
Great. Thanks for all the advice. First challenge will be to make sure it can handle normal roads!!!
-
Thanks steveb! I will put it through its paces and find any faults. The main reason I have it is to green lane etc but these seem to be in decline. Does anyone know of a site/resource which marks out CLEARLY where they are and if you are legally allowed on them whilst respecting the country code obviously.
-
Hahaha! Well hopfully this one had a relatively dry life!
-
Oh dear! Well this one is in excellent condition. It has a good chassis, a TDI discovery conversion in 2001, new brake pads and well looked after. I bit of cosmetic rust and bumps but nothing major. Even the heater works! No frills inside obviously but footwell in good order and all upholstery is perfect. Fortunately I live in Suffolk so there are plenty of landies in this part of the world to get a feel of what's good and what isn't!
-
Thanks for the advice. I'm sure I will be seeking more once I've got going!

Hi everyone. I'm new to this site and am hoping to find it useful. I own a freelander 2 but my real enthusiasm is for the defender range. Consequently I am about to purchase a 1991 ex mod 90. It is in really good condition considering its history but I heard that ex mod are a good choice for a first buy. Any tips on what to do with it regarding improvements etc? Thanks.
