Hi guys,

First time post for me on here - used to be pretty active on landrovernet.com. Looking at getting back into the 4x4 scene after a 7 year break (used to have a '92 Defender 90 when I lived in the UK).

Have found a 110 I'm interested in having a look at, however it is not registered and 'needs some work' to get it through the rego checks (blue & pink I guess?).

What should I be looking at on this machine? In the UK it was mostly rust on the bulkheads and cross members, but is that really much of an issue over here?

One of the issues is that it has a smoky engine. What should I be looking at with this? What possible causes are there for the smoke?

Thanks,

James
