There is currently a similar one on ebay, but not as much spec on it, and one of our members here has ordered one similar...I think they do look so right in Keswick green and with wolf rims
That said, I keep seeing HD spec white hardtops on transporters which I think look cool. 2011 110 USW 1973 Series III 1-Ton 1972 Series III 1-Ton Cherrypicker 1969 IIA 1-Ton 1966 IIA 88" |

Just had its first oil and filter change at a shade over 8000 miles, its certainly smoother, chappie said oil was black as soot and it had used a tiny bit. Sadly with the milage mine does it hard to get in at the scheduled points. First full service probably due in 4 weeks. 2011 110 USW

Diesels all have very black oil. When i first got a soot chucker (new Astra 1.9CDTi 150) I checked the oil at about 4k miles and bricked myself - it was jet black! Took it to the garage and felt a bit of a goon when told it was normal. Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion. |

To be honest I am yet to see any tyre wear. The speedo clock is wrong so the actual mileage is probably closer to 7000. 2011 110 USW 1973 Series III 1-Ton 1972 Series III 1-Ton Cherrypicker 1969 IIA 1-Ton 1966 IIA 88" |

Yeah I remember being told that with my old 2286 diesel series III. I don't think he thought it was a problem, but it does "feel" nicer now with the new oil in. 2011 110 USW 1973 Series III 1-Ton 1972 Series III 1-Ton Cherrypicker 1969 IIA 1-Ton 1966 IIA 88" |

If I ever actually earn any money I'd probably buy them. Is it becoming obvious I'm having a really bad day?  2011 110 USW

Could be. Had a headache most of the day too. Did manage to go clean all the mud off the 110 though, I thought of Zag whilst doing it  2011 110 USW

 Only for the Defender, you should see the state of the rest of my life - you'll need jabs before you come around to my place  Housework is not my thing.... |
