Many thanks
I'll have to wait till I get back in the country to finish my run home to see what I get out of my tank - normaly get about 400 miles beween filling to the brim and the light on [ping] when driving normally .... so am intrested on what you get out of your 90 
I know the 110 has a roofrack, Mantac raised air intake and a heap of dormobile fitting - being lugged arround all the time so that will add some weight, power restriction and wind resistance to the event - but they are always fitted to the wagon so any change will show up as true comparable result!

Took the Defender down to Strathearn Engineering for a bit of a check up. Everything looks great on the car so no worries except for a couple of bushes and maybe a new steering box in a few months. ( small leak present).
Pretty happy with that. As my knowledge of this car is pretty lacking, along with my abilities to fix it....  all I do know is the car is running brilliantly and I'm loving every minute of ownership...
Learning something new every day though and my first real venture off road at the weekend |

Indeed I am. First real go off road and a bit nervous but all part of the ownership. The 90 is way more capable than I am so need to learn more
And the scenery round there is brilliant. I Normally go walking up the hills in Perthshire on my doorstep so driving up then should be equally good fun.. |

I have BFG AT's on mine. The front are getting low but should be fine for the run I reckon.

Had a new windscreen fitted, as a rather large stone hit it dead centre. _______________________________
