Bought the full range of LRD Security products to secure my 110
Alarm relocation battery live relocation bonnet guard hinge guards air in take guards so a busy weekend fitting that lot after the LRO show! Also left a deposit on a Nakatenga spare wheel carrier, so the 110 is getting spoilt this month! 
She had brand new KM3 285 76 16 fitted onto the twisted alloys and looks mean now
Shes due her MOT and Service next week so that'll be done along with a Air con regal and new windscreen as the original is a bit peppered in the bright sun after 210,000 miles of motorway's  Click image to enlarge 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)

Its been away for a week for its annual MOT and service
transfer box oil leak has finally been fixed mechanic found a large crack in the front exhaust which explains the fumes in the cabin so welded that up Hes fitted the full range of LRD security products so its well secured as can be. all fresh oils and filters on everything I think the plan next will be to fit the Naka wheel carrier, purchase the premium leather front seats retrim kit for £500 as front seats are collapsed, get a quote for chassis to be buzzwelded 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold) 2015 Discovery 4.5 Black pack Firenze red XS 2008 Corris Grey 110 XS USW (sold) 2011 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold) |

Went greenlaning last weekend and ripped off my light bar mount as it was above cage, I hated it there but was only temporary but finally new cage mounts arrived so put my light bar where it should sit below cage above windscreen. very happy with how it sits and completely rock solid no vibrations at all
Also fitted some Ebay special £22 pair of SideShooter Flood LED Cube lights on the back to replace the waterlogged old fashioned ones. Just need to wire those up. Just need those nice Australian STEDI Type X Pro LED spotlights to go in front of grille, Next weekend I hope to fit the Nakatenga spare wheel carrier so I can get the spare twisted and Km3 on. Next item to purchase is some Premium seat upgrade seat kit to retrim my tired collapsed standard XS seats to Premium full leather spec, seen a few kits on eBay going for £500, not bad considering used ones are going for £1100 As a minimum.

thanks guys
another couple thousand miles in, still running well had a electrical gremlin on Friday night giving me no headlights or dashboard but luckily was just a fuse under the steering wheel column. the new LED side shooter cubes are wired up to the reverse light and work great 
Next items are to retrim the worn out XS seats to full leather premium seats and change the steering wheel for a Momo Quark I think. And I think the Allisport intercooler has cracked as there's a oily stain on the air con condenser so I need to investigate that and weld it up 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold) 2015 Discovery 4.5 Black pack Firenze red XS 2008 Corris Grey 110 XS USW (sold) 2011 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold) |

Wipers given up again, bloody bearmach wheel boxes are crap!
Think ill stump up the £200 for the CNC Design and Development version of the wheelbases which apparently are lifetime! She's not being driven far. at the moment so mileage is still 195,800 but still running well and hammering up and down the motorways. She needs some Love now got a rust spot appearing on top bulkhead and bottom of b post and sills so ill be getting the mechanic to rub those and treat em then give it the full buzzweld chassis treatment. also give the rusty rollcage a treatment I keep thinking I should retire the old girl from front line work and get a new Disco 5 or defender commercial on lease but I cant seem to pull the trigger as she still gets a lot of attention even tired looking as she does now! 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold) 2015 Discovery 4.5 Black pack Firenze red XS 2008 Corris Grey 110 XS USW (sold) 2011 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold) |

Keep her, don't retire her as you won't get the attention with the D5, unless that's what you would prefer
