Steve Hiatt Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 A few questions for owners. Do you prefer it over a 300TDI/TD5? For business users, is it possible to reclaim the VAT on the SW with panelled rear windows? Do the doors fit? On the face of it a 110 SW is a lot of money for what it is, however, have you found the cost of running and changing newish ones for new ones camparitively acceptable? Presumably the answer is yes because you have done it, I guess I'm asking if running a 110 has made financial sense compared to say a Disco?

Presumably the answer is yes because you have done it, I guess I'm asking if running a 110 has made financial sense compared to say a Disco? I took very little loss on the late TD5 I traded in so the additional I had to stump up for the new one was acceptable. Having owned and run several of both (110 /Disco) the 110 makes more sense for me and my needs at the moment. Depreciation is less on the Defender than the Discovery.

Happyoldgit Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Dan, If you killed your TD5 with over use what sort of use and mileage did you put on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hiatt Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 For business users, is it possible to reclaim the VAT on the SW with panelled rear windows? Ask your accountant. I have previously reclaimed for a 90 hard top, commercial Disco and 12 seater 110. My accountant was not too happy with the 110. Put another way, is the 110 SW with panelled rear classes as a commercial vehicle or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJIbex Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 A 07MY 110 SW is classed as a commercial vehicle (and therefore VAT is recliamable through a VAT registered company) whether it has the utility pack or not as the payload is over a 1000kg. This was the case on Td5 post a factory build date sometime in 04 (can't remember exact date) with alloys factory fitted; and is the case with all 07MY 110's (even without the alloys on 07MY I think, although I would need to check that 1). If the vehicle has been in private ownership first however it looses its VAT status. The Puma engine gets much looser from new with mileage than the Td5's did. I still can't stand the speed limiter; makes motorway overtaking a major pain in the arse! Hopefully my third 07 should be on the road tomorrow; a 110 XS DC in Keswick Green. Mark.

Daniel TD5 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Dan, If you killed your TD5 with over use what sort of use and mileage did you put on it? it was only when i got the new one and drove a very late o6 td5 that my one seemed so worn out it had 28 thousand miles when i partex it in but it had done just under two years of the blackwall tunnel town driving i was on the second set of pedal rubbers and floor mats steering wheel was worn to a car with say 90 thousand miles second seat base and the leather on the gear stickhad worn off its not the miles its the hours i spend in the car had a site in pymouth last year so used to drive down and back to greenwich in the same day two times a week that 8 hours a day on the road for twenty weeks + the two hour a day normal + london to norwich two times a week the hours soon add up the drive was not very firm as if the bushes were very worn its only when i jumped in a very late 06 td5 wow my one seemed to be shagged gear box was a real pain after a long motor way drive it was a fight to get third any way its gone and not missed its up for 18k +vat got a site in winsor now i go all the way round the m25 just for fun as its soooo nice to drive now with me ipod thing and me 6 speed box dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlliSport Andy Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I think it is an improvement on the TD5, but is lacking in power when towing. Build quality seems better, mine only leaks a little on the passengers foot, I have done 7500 miles, half of it on French motorways and it is quieter and less hassled at speed. The bonnet is growing on me!

JSG Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Speed limiter mod Andy, is this done via Testbook? I've heard that it can't be done if the Defender isn't in 'PDI mode' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
