After owing a freelander td4 then discovery 3 tdv6,
Brought this 2008 110 from Victoria in late march with 110000km on the clock
Has already got some koni shocks. Alli sport radiator and inter cooler cruse control snorkel and winch and a few other bits. Was happy with what the previous owner had done.
Have done a few mods including a remap from Davis Performace landys ( well worth the money )
Plan on put new dash with 2 din system reverse camera and other bits.
Have Facebook page if interested in following my upgrades.

My bus has been on towing duties this weekend just gone. From Alice to Darwin and back I'm pleased to say it didn't miss a beat, despite some horrible bits of road and strong winds all the way between Katherine and Tennant Creek. It returned about 18L/100kms which I didn't think was too bad all things considered

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets those sorts of figures when towing!

Here's my Defender in Laura after a muddy run over the PDR down from a very wet Cape York. The worst road conditions I've ever experienced. Passed a few trailers with wheels ripped off, but missed the bogged semis up the road near Coen.

In the background is a 130 belonging to the Laura general store manager, who loves to talk Landies!

Hi Dervish it looks like you had some fun in the mud, I love it as long as I don't have to get out and walk in it. What tires a re you using?in the photo they look good diameter but not too wide.

I have a roof rack, mostly home made, and it's proved durable enough on my desert and mountain trips But I'm worried about all the horror stories i hear about the corrugated road to the cape wrecking the roof racks. What was your experience?

Re mud all over the side of the car, when I put on the wider tyres, it annoyed me to have mud dripping of the window frames and the gutters, getting into the fuel filler spot etc. So I made these small aluminium "mudgaurds" and put mudflaps on the front. The little mudgaurds screw to the mudflap brackets inside, I have them front and back. Now when I drive on muddy road or the beach etc, the windows & sides of the car stays clean. Plus your arm if the window is open

Picture is below , a crowd in the UK is making them out of plastic i think for 100 quid. The photo attached is cut from a bigger photo and is not so good but you get the idea.
