1993 Land Rover 110

[Michael Slade]

seriously though.

doesnt knowing that some dude in england is getting the same rig for 8000 pounds sort of make you feel queezy when you write the check?

Econ 101 man. Very simple supply / demand = price (or something like that).

which goes back to my initial comparison to the louis vitton purse.

Ummmm, that'd be Louis Vuitton...

I don't know if Keith Richards also has a 110. :rockon:

Someone from this board did buy this truck. It is now in my driveway!
The rust issue was completely minimal for this truck.
The price was really not bad at all considering all the work and upgrades performed on the truck.

I'll post some pics with the rig and my Conqueror Conquest behind it.

Thanks,
Dendy

Welcome to the 110 fold! We'll have to enroll you in sneering classes.

please post away. I am looking forward to the pics. I will keep the drool meter down.:bowdown:

Congratulations! That truck is on a short-list of things my wife and I want to own someday. A D90 is probably in our future, but the 110s ... 1 of only 500 makes them quite sought after and equally harder to find in good condition.

And really, the iconic image of that truck adds all the more fascination. There is a small handful of trucks that can be dropped in that same category, but the 110 seems so limited compared to the others because of the small number produced.

Well the 110 arrived about 5 days after my Conqueror Conquest. I think they look quite nice together! Thoughts?

My wife now says ... I own a fleet of truck in the drive way!

Surely someone has a cure for the Land Rover bug!

Notice- she drives an LR3, but it is apart from the "fleet"

Isn't that "sneering WHILST sipping a gin & tonic."

Cool ride!

Coincidence - I just got an email from my friend in Montreal who operates this business -> http://www.rvwestfalia.com/

He is bringing two 110 1993 200tdi from Germany - one is a pick up model.

Briefly what's the difference between a 200tdi and a 300tdi?

tks!

That is one hell of a setup!! Congrats!

Thanks!
Your set up was a main influence (white and all!)

We plan some long haul trips in the next three years.

Briefly what's the difference between a 200tdi and a 300tdi?

I remember that the 200tdi uses multiple belts whereas the 300tdi uses a single serpentine belt.

Oh, I found a good post on discussing the 200tdi, 300tdi, Td5 differences.

A TDI conversion should be pretty easy as there's no ECU to worry about.

A 200Tdi is a very different engine to a 300tdi and most parts are not transferable. Having said that, they both perform very similar.

I think the aim of the 300tdi was to be more refined, but to be honest I can't tell any difference. I've owned both and been in loads of LR's with both engines.

Both make very similar HP/tq from the factory although the slight favour of the 300tdi.

MPG is more open ended, however I would say my 200tdi is more economical in a bigger heavier vehicle than my 300tdi was.

I had the fuel pump tweaked on the 300tdi, in a stripped 90 Defended 5 speed. Driving hard I got 21-23mpg (imperial not US gallons that is).

My 200tdi also had the pump tweaked but I honestly beleive it was more like 24-27mpg. But the driving style and conditions where better in an economy sense. For comparison a 3.5 V8 Range Rover would probably do about 12-15mpg under the same conditions.

Power wise, you'll want a BIG, sorry did I say BIG intercooler and mess with the fuel pump. 200tdi's also require the turbo boost upping as they run lower than 300tdi's. You can go further with bigger water cooled turbo's but it gets far too pricey for the gain IMO.

160bhp is about the max, but it will be 220lb ft plus. Not staggering numbers however it will drive better than the numbers sound. This is because it makes all this power from low revs, like PEAK torque under 2000rpm and will hold the power well until the red line. A cammed V8 will have to use more revs to achevie the same power.

In a drag race your modified 4.0 V8 will be quicker, but on the road I think you'd be impressed with a modified tdi.

300 tdi's are generally easier to find, because 200's where only made for a short while. So parts/spares might be a consideration.

The TD5 appears to be a great engine. In stock trim it's not that much more powerful. Especially the ones in the Defenders (de-tuned by ECU compared to Discovery 2 TD5's). However they are all electrical and swapping one over would be a massive undertaking. Stock Discovery TD5's have ~134bhp but modified ones get upto around 193bhp with a chip and intercooler.

BTW - stock Tdi's are pretty sluggish, espcially most 200tdi's. If it doesn't blow out black smoke then it isn't going to move very fast.

I'm envious! I just have a 1/18th scale diecast D110 to show for it.
