my new ride!!!
well, managed to trade my 90 in for this little bute! Thumbs Up

picked her up yesterday from yorkshire, nice 9 hour round trip and 500 miles, but she ate up the 250 mile trip home to south wales at a comfy 75-80mph all the way! huge difference in the way it feels to my 90, guess its the extra weight!!!

A tad gutted this morning Big Cry when i found a drop of oil on the driveway, had a look and it looks as though is comming from the joint where the prop meets the rear diff? going to call the garage where i bought it from as it has a 3mth warrenty with it, finger crossed?

A nice roof rack should make her complete.

Very nice Yanto and they have even managed to get the Safari Equipment Bumperretes straight (unless different make!) Laughing . Why did you sell your 90, did you have it from new?

Looks lovely - just what I am wanting - a Grey 110 Utility Wagon in County Spec...

Keen to hear more about how you get on with it...

Congratulations, nice looking 110. Thumbs Up

I love 90s but the 110s are so much more practical for everyday family life. Love the colour too ... Whistle John

That's a beauty!

Was very tempted by a Utility Wagon but decided on back windows (but 5 seats not 7) in the end.

Stornoway is a cracking colour too and 57 reg ones rule (me, biased?!!)! Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

Enjoy mate - she's lovely!

Already earmarked one of these for my next Defender. Problem is, I've only had the 90 for a month! Better wait a while or her indoors will do me harm!

Have fun.

Welcome to the 'Utility' club - like you I have had a pinion seal oil leak fixed under warranty.

I quite liked the grey colour but couldn't find one with a county spec at the time......but a nice black one came up - which I obviously bought. Shows the dirt more - but then I think it should be dirty - or perhaps it is just me being lazy
