Well it has done 149k miles and it at the very least has been fitted with a Defender steering wheel. Do they fit Euro boxes?!

It’s a 2008
I have a trade insurance policy so cost isn’t a factor as all my vehicles are insured quite cheaply on one policy! The £600 tax is a bit ouch after years of 260 with my previous two USW’s 😂 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) |

Being a 2008 explains why it’s registered as a 7 seater (M1) 2008 2.4 110 Utility Station Wagon XS.

Did my first tinkering on it! its good to be back!
Removed the oversized mirrors as they were flapping and put standard ones back on, rock steady now! Also removed the standard XS seats and installed new XS trim premium seats which are so much more supportive and also better heater pads! Click image to enlarge after 1000 miles of commuting in its first week, there are some niggles I need to sort Chinese LED headlights are rubbish so need to get decent ones. heater only blows hot and has a coolant smell to it but level is staying ok could be valve or egr cooler? rear tub cappings are rusty so need to be replaced with new bulkhead top corners are just starting to rust so I need to nip that in the bud the rear shock absorbers have lost their damping effect so that gives me a reason to change all the bushes to Superpro and Fox Racing shocks. Air con condenser is corroded as usual. Install a nicer winch bumper and also a Safety devices external roll cage plus remap and all the gubbins that go with that such as bigger air intake. 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) |
