Sheeyit.... what the hell can you get to replace a 110? Is there anything? Most of the jap double cabs have their issues and they don't have the ability to take a through-load. Commercial LandCruiser or Shogun perhaps? But then you lose the seating.

Tough choice, but I understand why you're not happy with the 110.

Not much difference apart from the CSW does not break diffs. I think it is the luck of the draw whether you get a good or bad one.

Much as it pains me to say this, Land Rover more than any other manufacturer today seems in dire need of a Lean 6-Sigma review of their manufacturing processes. The inconsistency between vehicles coming off the line is appalling. Although I suspect a big part of this is the complete lack of confidence the poor blokes on the line have over their future. Trouble is, the more depressed they get, the worse the product quality gets and the less vehicles are sold. Some confidence in the plant would go a hell of a long way towards improving the product.

I am sure in a post by AndrewS he was trying to get the VED changed for his utility.
You may have seen this but it gives definitive info
http://www.zercustoms.com/news/Land-Rover-...Wagon.html

Also just got pipped through my own indecicivness for a private plate feb 08 utility xs from Guy Salmon Coventry
19850 GBP Big Cry with 9000 miles on clock

Might have to think about buying new but that will fubar my budget.

Any ideas or tips would be appreciated

Why is the Utility Station Wagon not shown on Land Rover's website any longer?
Too bad, it is the best looking of the 110 IMHO.

Are you talking about your local site?

The UK main site has not changed:
