England 2002 Defender 110 Td5 SW Coniston Green
Today, I had another day out with the Vintage Sports Car Club this time near Winchcombe, couple of tugs, one stuck car trying to turn round at the top of a section and the other was one that had a diff break up. He had to be pulled back down the hill to await trailering away.
Didn't get many photos, just this one that is relevant.

England 2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Tonga Green
Today I finally got round to fitting my 90 rear springs to the front of my DCPU, to remove that 'nose down' stance. At the same time, I also fitted +2" Bilstein shocks with galv retainers and dislocation cones at the rear, so it also flexes very well too...

Still looks nose down in the photo due to the angle of camera, but in reality it sits pretty much perfectly level. Thumbs Up

Original spring on the right.

Sorry, the quality of the photos are terrible. These Sony Xperias are pants.

Interested to know why you've put it in back-to-front or am I missing something? Monsieur Le Grenadier

Well spotted Grenadier Thumbs Up The "slight modifcation"

Now the lever "falls" to hand much better, plus the MSS cubby box can be left with the front lid open, without fouling the stick,, works for me, so much better

Yes John,,,not a big difference, but notable,, I drove a full spec Bowler 90 last year. and was impressed with the better gear change,, more positive selection of the gears, my 110 is the same now Very Happy

Fitted 4x Hella luminator compact Xenon, and replaced the headlights with SVX units.
The photograph doesn't do the lights justice. The spotlights are silly bright!

Gave the 110 a wash to remove the dirt and grime that made the 110 its new home after a few days out on the WRC rally. The door cards needed a scrub as well after muddy boots caught the door cards getting in and out etc.

Some pics.

Yesterday collected my new (to me) 110 SW Puma and drove it to my preferred workshop for a thorough going over. The last 110 I drove was a 200 Tdi 6 years ago so it was interesting to see the evolution. Having a working heater that can actually heat the whole vehicle was good, and the TDCI although slightly odd in its throttle response, is significantly more pokey than my old Tdi. Gearbox seems excellent, brakes are sh*te but I think they are glazed. Overall very happy with the purchase Smile
