Thread: Finally arrived! the replacement.

Looks positively awesome to me, but then I am very biased towards the Keswick

Looking forward to the meet and greet (and swap of bits). We arrived back in the country late last night.

Also look forward to seeing the two trucks side by side for "family" portrait

It is such a great feeling when you finally take delivery after the months of waiting.

Cheers,

I do Believe your snorkel is being pick up tomorrow. And the courier service are probs staying the night

Mrs hh

Aren't you guys good putting up a courier

Nice looking 130 mate. I was tossing up on the 110 or the 130 but due to the doubts on colours and ordering I went with the safe option of the 110. I'm keen to see all this unfold in regards to the extras as I too will be loading up when the funds allow it.

Cheers,

Great car and congratulations, I am sure it will bring you years of pleasure. I too have thought about getting one of the last ones and the dealer showed me a 130 (i was thinking of a 110) but I noticed the fuel tank breather appears to have gone back to the short looped thing on the right hand side of the car unlike my 110 (2008) which had the breather coming our the left side and easier to extend higher up. Is yours like this? .Why would they revert to that design when it was a source of problems?

I havent checked the breather but as soon as my money frees up (yes dogs are bleeding me dry a the vets again) I will be getting one of nuggets breather blocks and extending all lines up into the engine bay

Nice 130 Dullbird. I like the colour.

I'm in the process of putting a black 'mask' and amber indicator lenses on my Keswick 110, as I also prefer the 'old school' look, but from my experience I would recommend swapping the complete grille assemblies including the frame, if Keswick Green is consistent from batch to batch. I had to buy a set of panel pullers to pry the grille from the frame, then with only two studs removed, I had to stop and order a replacement set, because they're getting a bit mangled in the process. My car looks rather weird as a result; it currently has black headlamp finishers on it and a Brunel grille; a sort of 'raccoon mask'. Hopefully the studs will arrive in the next couple of days and I can get the grille swapped out.
