If you get really, really stuck drop me a message. I've got the necessary to move it. I am crazy busy right now though so would have to be an evening/early morning job

Yeah congrats

@Eightpot how does the td5 under dash perform in a 110?

I should of also said I've got a slick shifter thing that only adds to the speed of the change.....

No crunch on mine at some 320k miles

I know of a very original 1998 300tdi 110 that has the same small key for all doors. Big plastic key is for ignition.

I should mention I am on a bit of a budget and can't justify spending thousands on this, so that blows out the M of D kit - £1700 just for the heater box with an AC evaporator. Coolair logan I spoke with on the phone, who still use the under dash as per TD5. I can lay my hands on a TD5 evap for a better price, but not sure how good these things are, I've read a lot of negativity on cold knees but nothing else. This unit takes air from the passenger footwell to recycle, which can clog the unit with debrix off the passengers boots. Maybe I need to get another heater box and trying to squeeze an evaporator in there, and then add a second unit to the rear.

Hi all, currently weghing up air con options for the 300tdi 110. Kids are in need of cool air on longer trips, especially as we always seem to end up stuck in traffic somewhere! As I see it I have two potential routes, and wondered if anyone had experience of treading either; 1) Use the standard TD5 setup, including the under dash with a 300tdi compressor. This is possibly the most complex, but will end up with the best looking install, and hopefully not detract from the vehicle too much. Only issue is the cost of the under dash components 😮 2) Use the standard 300tdi compresosr, but link up with an aftermarket option, such as the Britpart cubby box https://maltings4x4store.co.uk/products/britpart-rear-air-con-kit-for-lhd-defender-300tdi-and-td5-station-wagon-da6505.html Does anyone have real world experience of option 1?

Taking this aside, you just need an up and running vehicle - no point upgrading diffs etc for this.

My 90 would max out at something around 96mph on standard gearing and 235s - no fishtailing just a lot of wind noise. I think you might need to consider a different power plant than a Tdi

Has anyone still got the picture quoted by Western? I've got a notchy R380 and it's starting to bug me

Might those ramps be for sale?

Interesting stuff

Mine is still running very well - no complaints

Yes, I run a normal stat in mine, just remove the floating ball thing.

Exactly my point, you are punished as a ltd company, whereas average van man gets away with it.

It's a difficult situation, and one where companies should not be punished as suggested. It is only the same as sole traders using their vans for running about at the weekend. I see a number of transits with kids seats in the front at ym sons football training! Secondly some business rely on towing capacity as opposed to load carrying, and hence a transit van may not fill the need that a pickup can. You can't help but feel INEOs have missed a trick with not pushing HMRC on this matter, it would be an excellent selling point

You really want the TDV8 - don't waste your cash on the puney V6

I think the one issue with this is that you don't have an under tray - and as much as you sound proof bulkhead bonnet etc you cannot prevent the noise under the car.

This does look like an excellent event, I regret offloading my old F650 single - I think this would of been a great bike for it

This is a thing for me now, I can take a VAT qualifying commercial through my company, it has to be a 5 seat though.

I should clarify - I need 5 seats

I did wonder about this with regard to the Defender and the Grenadier, I don't believe as yet you can order a "commercial" 110 Defender?
