Rusty's new toy Having sold my Td5 90 a couple of weeks ago I could finally get round to seriously looking for a replacement. I was thinking of getting a Td5 XS DCPU and had been checking out the ads everywhere over the last month or so. In the end I found this and picked it up yesterday Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge It's a 2007 XS in pretty good nick. Not had a Puma or a 110 before but I'm loving it so far. Took the day off to clean it and tinker around. Got a few bits to put in it that I took out of my 90 but have loads more planned. I've got a long shopping list already and I'm hoping Santa can help out A big thanks to Blackwolf for taking me for a drive in his 110 DC, that pretty much convinced me to go for the Tdci.

Yes I am, although my 90 was a tad more sprightly. A remap is on the to-do list. Its definitely worth a trip to have a look at yours and I'll take you up on it in the new year if that's ok  2015 90 XS CSW TDCi - Beautiful 2007 110 XS DCPU - An itch that needed scratching 2005 90 Td5 XS CSW - Utterly brilliant 2001 Discovery 2 ES Auto - A phase I went through 1996 90 Tdi CSW - Uber reliable 1989 90 2.5 Petrol Hardtop - My first proper Landy 1985 Range Rover Vogue V8 -Troublesome

Hey Mal, yeah my plate will be on it pretty soon. With a bit of luck I'll be around your way at the weekend if you're about. I wanna see the chequerplate on your bonnet while I'm there. 2015 90 XS CSW TDCi - Beautiful 2007 110 XS DCPU - An itch that needed scratching 2005 90 Td5 XS CSW - Utterly brilliant 2001 Discovery 2 ES Auto - A phase I went through 1996 90 Tdi CSW - Uber reliable 1989 90 2.5 Petrol Hardtop - My first proper Landy 1985 Range Rover Vogue V8 -Troublesome

blackwolf Member Since: 03 Nov 2009 Location: South West England Posts: 17610	Looks good, and I'll keep my eyes peeled to spot you in it! Glad the test drive was useful. I was impressed with the plate until you 'fessed up to photoshop! Don't leave the remap too long, because once you get it you'll wish you'd got it sooner.

the Photoshop option was cheaper than the thousand quid DVLA want for the reg! I'm much better off spending the dosh on a remap at that rate.  2015 90 XS CSW TDCi - Beautiful 2007 110 XS DCPU - An itch that needed scratching 2005 90 Td5 XS CSW - Utterly brilliant 2001 Discovery 2 ES Auto - A phase I went through 1996 90 Tdi CSW - Uber reliable 1989 90 2.5 Petrol Hardtop - My first proper Landy 1985 Range Rover Vogue V8 -Troublesome
