90k

Jon_One · Postby **Jon_One** » February 20th, 2010, 9:23 pm

This is the silver 110 for 125k .. bess condition 300tdi engine.. basically all are refurbrished.. to me this is the best all rounder .. i drove this one .. it drives better than the frontier i had previously and brakes better than a navara.. engine is very powerful .. clutch is kind of heavy .. but i did a third gear pull and damn i was impressed

294K on the clock on the 90 :?:

ALL of them was refurbrished from ground up! they basically stripped it down to bare chassis and started.. all are in tops condition!! i only drove one .. all have the same engine... and all are up to mark!! trust me..

Jon_One · Postby **Jon_One** » February 20th, 2010, 9:33 pm

the one that i drove started very easily!! clutch was very grippy...

the man also fixes them obviously..

but he has like 3 or more engines and trannys put down for spares .. he also has another defender currently in the process of fixing and two discovery II in the process too... the man good..

thats the last one... its fully equipped in a sense... it basically has the full county kit .. sunroof ac etc.. it looks damn good but i cant find the exterior pic of it..

Jon_One · Postby **Jon_One** » February 21st, 2010, 3:06 am

and btw .. the seats arent as bad as everyone makes them sound.. IMO .. all that silver needs is a tint and some black deep dish offroading rims and M/T tyres and im in the game..

the man also has loads of accessories and parts ... . winch bumpers. tow bar/ bumpers.. anything basically.. he also has alot of slightly used tyres .. m/t and a/t

this site has some interesting info.. a range rover vogue could cross deeper waters than a defender defender is 500mm range is 700mm... and it also has more under body clearance... obviously when air suspension is cranked up... but all of that is manufacturers claim i guess.
