powerrabbit Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 There is some very good Land Rover stuff on Youtube, people treat their animals with more respect and compassion than what's on there. Well worth a look. Quote
allis8550 Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 This is my farm truck, 1998 R reg RR 4.0 SE running on LPG, cost me less than a decent Landy the same age would have and is more comfortable. Quote
sparrow legs Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 i dont run a landy i have a 57 plate toyota rav4, very nice, i sometimes drive an 08 freelander auto gs and it drives nice but prefere my rav4, im getting 45mpg apposed to the freelander doing 29mpg both diesel models! a landrover 90/110 is a great farm truck but you pay for the badge, were i used to work had a 53 plate 90 hard top, very basic for the money!! for off roading i agree landrover defenders are king!! on tarmac there noisy and a hard ride Quote

Simon Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 here you go Adam... My toy, 1959 S2, S3 bulkhead [boo hoo] parabolics, 3.5, Ashcroft exhaust, Weller 8's, SATs, Corbeau seats. Half cage been sitting in my shed for 4 years, will fit it one day Quote
Simon Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 The previous Disco, bought off ebay unseen for 1200 quid, 1995 300 TDi S, 180k on the clock and still going strong having been bought by one of the guys I shoot with who works for Agco... Quote
Simon Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 The old man's RR-S & the shoot fleet heading back across the fields [l-r - my Disco, the farm's freeloader van, boss's 4.4 Disco 3, neighbour's TD5 D90 bad boy truck] .... Quote
Simon Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 1 more! My first proper road going Land Rover, 1993 RR Vogue SE A air sprung model, fast road cams, LPG [which was crap incidentally, and I'm pretty sure the single point system knackered the engine The cams had nothing to do with it I'm sure ].... Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 All been done before... so sorry everyone else... But..... in order of purchase... firstly.... my old off-roader... D90 Truck Cab - TD5 - Allisport 200bhp + (second gear wheelspins in the dry ) just before I sold it... :'( Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Next up.. Mrs F's old 110DC in XS trim... nice car... but the turning circle of a supertanker (and the brakes too)... since been sold regretfully... the best one we've had so far.. traded in for Mrs F's current 'ride' - which Barry tried so hard to wreck last year before Spalding.. Quote
BC Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 It looks in good nick Mark. Why did you sell it The offroad one I mean Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 It had done 50k HARD miles by then.. it was only really good for off-roading... it was 'up two inches and out two inches' and drove like a pig.. also... the cylinder head had started weaping fuel into the sump - which was going to be an expensive repair... clutch was starting to go also and the warrenty was just about to expire :o Shame to get rid of her though.. she was one hell of a truck... I spent a small fortune on her... literally :o - Mrs F loves Defenders to bits now... I told her only yesterday she would have had a new one if it wasn't for the fact I've just blown invested all our cash on a tractor and baler :D Quote
BC Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Yes Mark but tell her a tractor and baler will earn loads of money whereas a new Landy won't ;D Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Yes Mark but tell her a tractor and baler will earn loads of money whereas a new Landy won't ;D We can all live in hope I guess :D Quote

Lord Ferguson Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I'm not allowed buddy... Mrs F won;t give me her car keys :D - everytime I go I break things... I get the 'red mist' descend on me... and I just have to get a little 'brutal' with things... I do miss the 'good old days' - off-roading is just the best fun ever... I was tempted to buy another off-roader again myself... but alas... my bank account says otherwise... not to mention Mrs F of course :'( Quote
