110's

OK you lot of 'house brick' drivers;

I have, in the last week, had 2 Defenders in for work to be done. The first, an immaculately kept LATE 1993 200Tdi 110 with factory air and rear discs, we replaced the clutch and all the brakes/discs, rear axles, power upgrade /tweaking etc. The second, another 110 exactly the same age as the first, but without A/C. It was recovered by me on Sunday from Bruny island with a broken (original) clutch centre.
BOTH of these vehicles are 1 owner. BOTH have travelled in excess of 280,000km, BOTH are in fantastic condition and will continue service until the owners pass away(Both are in their late 60's) and are reliable enough to drive the cape NOW.

This model is my absolute favourite, the 200tdi engine, factory A/C, rear disc brakes.
So, if you own one of these, LOOK AFTER IT AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT... It will NOT let you down

I love my job

JC

I have a 92 200 Tdi, rear drum brakes no air-con with 290,000 klms. It has been down the Hay River track, and along ther Madigan Line, out to Geosurveys Hill and apart form some usual oil leaks she has never let me down.

Before the last trip I had ATV here in Sydney give the Red Terror the once over. They did engine and gearbox mounts, wheel bearings all round, new shocks full service and a new radiator. I had reservations about the clutch but they reckoned it was fine.

I am planning to do a trip up to the Cape either next year or the year after and think I should get the clutch done before doing this. As the Red Terror is a weekend vehicle at the moment I think it will wait until the next big trip.

Until I win Lotto and get myself a brand new Fender the old girl will see me through.

We prefer the term "Aerodynamically Challenged"

Hi Chenz,

I would do the clutch. This one had NO warning, it just lost drive. When I removed it all the springs fell out and the centre was just rotating. The friction material was only worn about 40%

Age and the constsnt diesel rattle had broken the centre rivets etc.

I wouldn't buy a new one, this one is a keeper

There's a one of that age in excellent condition just around the corner from me.

Hardly ever gets driven.

D'ya want me to leave a card under the windscreen, JC?

Simon.

In 1966 I had the centre break out of the clutch plate on my 2a diesel at quite low mileage - in the middle of the Simpson Desert.
