United Kingdom 1997 Defender 110 300 Tdi CSW Stornoway Grey
My Daily Driver - 12 months in
It is 12 months today since I gave back my company car (Mercedes E350) and my 110 became my daily driver with the RRC being used for weekend trips and shows. The Merc was a superb car and I thought I'd miss it far more than I actually have - as I don't do many of those long trips anymore. the 110 is now perfectly suited to my needs - carries everything and everybody it needs to (9 seats). The 110 300tdi has proved itself to be a perfectly reliable motor and just takes absolutely everything in its stride. Yes it's slow and noisy when compared to my merc - but I love driving it on every trip and I always return with a smile on my face. ----------------------------------------------

Trailbear....I for one am very glad you did! It's proven to be a supremely reliable motor - not without the usual Land Rover foibles which we all love about them, but nothing insurmountable. Thumbs Up ----------------------------------------------
