LittleBlue88 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Loving the 110.....bit pricey for me tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 That 110 is lush, but about 17 grand more than i've got... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 That Td5 auto Ninety appears to have a number of Td5 parts on it - headlight surrounds, bumper, aircon dashboard, aircon grille, rear crossmember etc - I'd be nervous about buying a 'G-reg' car with that many parts from a later vehicle, or at least scrutinise the number stamped into the chassis first...

muddy Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I seem to recall a video in the video shack showing that 110 having the **** thrashed out of it, smoking like hell, overheating and clacking like a bitch, i dont think i'd touch it with a plauge infected bargepole. The tyres on that 90 look rather large for 265/75s, looks smart though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelf Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 wasnt it the portal-rover landy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I thought it looked familiar, similar quality setup to what SFS used to punt out from what I've seen although I believe the chap did post up to disavow all connection to SFS Aaah, a quick search on YouTube shows it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lansalot Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 In the interest of balance, I did state that the portal had problems with the diff lock (ie, there wasn't one) on that day. It was fixed soon after. Also, that hole was well slippy on that day, worst I've ever seen it. No traction to be had. Pure luck the Jeep made it out. Having seen the portal in action since, I'd say it's a pretty capable machine. Don't judge it on the video alone There's another clip of it here, incidentally: It was the PortalRover landy, used to belong to hbpfly. edit: I'd rather have the 90 out of the two above, it's well nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddy Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 He really needs a set of boggers I thought he was doing pretty well on those innertubes to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1G UP Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 I thought he was doing pretty well on those innertubes to be fair. with 70 psi in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomG Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 All tyres were aired down to <10psi (I know as i loaned the owner my pre-set stauns). The Pitbulls aren't the best in the mud, boggers would be a lot better but in fairness it wasn't built as a full on winch challenge comp truck but as something for estate owners, and the like to get up on the hill. It wasn't making full power as something was wrong with the turbo actuator and the exhaust manifold was blowing. It might have stood a chance in high box then. All sorted now from what i hear.

FridgeFreezer Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Wow, in the second video it's almost as capable as a standard Range Rover on MT's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a sick engine and carp tyres And I would say the Jeep was well driven and not "only" lucky! Lara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a sick engine and carp tyres And I would say the Jeep was well driven and not "only" lucky! Lara Should have been clearer. No rear axle diff lock. So yes, three wheels spinning. Just trying to balance it out a bit, personally I was a bit disappointed in the performance on the day too. Fair point on the "jeep/lucky" comment, that was a bit unkind of me.

The comments raised are valid. There is a £15,000+ 110 for sale with a blowing manifold, inoprative diff lock and poor traction. Is that a good advert...no would you buy that 110 for £15,000.......

lansalot Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The comments are based on what it was like then. Not what it is like now. That's all I was saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
