Thread: Ex Army 110 differences?

its Landrover - possibly the strongest and most reliable box they ever made - must be why they dropped it....

It's more than a possibility, it IS!

Go the LT95

The chassis is LR, but quite different from a civvie 110 and not a variant that has ever been factory fitted to a civvie LR.

The gear box gave trouble early on in its service life, A mate of mine had a contract to up grade them all with a mod he had designed himself. So this would be another difference from standard.

No power steer,no aircon and no key to start.

Unless I am mistaken, the starter and alternator are also different.

There are also substantial differences in trim and equipment which vary between models. For example, most, if not all of the army 110s have detachable door tops with sliding windows. While these were (I think) an option for the civilian ones, I have never seen one that was not a conversion. The most common civilian 110 is the wagon with County trim, which meant more trim, carpets, tinted windows, often aircon and no vents, cloth upholstery etc. Then there is the extended wheelbase 120" 110, not represented in the military types. Some civilian body types are not present in the army types, e.g. trayback in the 4x4, dual cab 4x4 (bicentenary ones only) and vice versa. But there were so many options available for both the civilian and army ones that it is quite easy to think in error that some of the rarer ones could be a civilian/army distinction.

The LT95 (Landrover Transmission/95mm between shafts) was modified slightly and was known as the LT95A,a bearing change from memory,the chassis was galvanised, and modified to take the spare tyre (7.50x16)under the rear body there was also changes to the spring rates and shockers.

G'day 3toes. Can you elaborate on what the mod was that your mate did. Interested to know what this was.
