Thread: New 110

I know the feeling. In fact I think I get it almost every day. But I will say that first time you drive it out if the dealer is pretty special.

I love the exhaust note I know that I'm going to love driving this Land Rover . I couldn't help feeling a bit nostalgic when driving my new car home . It brought me back to the first Land Rover that I brought . Way back in the early 70s . It was a 1969 , 109 2a hard top . It was Marine Blue and White , with a 2.5 BMC Diesel engine . I had to drive It from Chesterfield in Derbyshire , to Bedfordshire over 100miles . I can remember that wonderful feeling . So today all these years later , I had that same feeling . Jim

Congratulations! Pictures please!

Nice touches from the dealer...

What is this 110 kw upgrade you are speaking of? AFIK, that has only been done on the Autobiography and the Adventure 90's???

Cheers, Pete.

Well done, my first drive in a Land Rover was on in the RAF on 12 Sqn up in Lossiemouth, don't know which one it was but it was petrol had tanks under the seats and got hammered everyday!


Did you buy the car from Austral in the City?


Can't wait to pick mine up!


Any pictures?

110KW "Upgrade"?.....Who told you that?.......because, I don't think so.
But, if I'm wrong, I'll be straight into ULR & looking for same myself!

Hi pickles , I had heard a question about the last being upgraded , so I asked does this have the 90Kw or the 110 Kw upgrade ? . I was told yes It looks like there doing the 110 kw plus there also put a supplement stating this in the handbook . It says , power output kW [PS] 110 [150 ] at 3250 rpm , Max torque Nm 400 at 2000 rpm . I can only assume this information is correct , I have a td5 that is 90kW and the new truck seems to have more power ! Jim

The new one has more gears

If the 110kw is now the go that's pretty good!

Hi I brought the 110 from ULR in Melbourne . They have been really good telling me where It is , plus they new delivery dates through there tracking system . They've kept in contact with me at every stage . I will try to post some pictures , I'll have to ask for a bit of help on that one , I will give It a go !!.. Jim

Yeah, I've heard about the "supplement" in the manual,....a few guys on Def2 mentioned it, but I'm pretty sure that it's only there for the 150HP upgrade on the celebration models in which instance the upgrade was only available on the 90 models.
So, I'm very doubtful, but if it's true that you have an upgraded engine, I'll be very happy for you.
