This one makes me laugh every time I watch it:

Yup, and the smell of EP80/90 diff oil :wacko: Ian, youv'e got a 90 if I remember correctly? mad

I love mine (1989 One Ten). It does what I need, goes where I want and has been very reliable to date. I can fill it full of dead things and not worry about the trim getting ruined, tow a cattle trailer full of equipment and also fit 10 people + me in it which is a boon where we live as taxis are £40 just to drive down the road (robbing b*stids). Ok they have their faults and I'm not saying they are any better or worse than other makes, but I love them. For anyone interested. I have a site here dedicated to my Land Rover One ten /mad

Watch if you have more than 7 seats as I phoned EVERY SINGLE one of the so called Land Rover Insurance specialists in the back of LRO and not one of them would insure a One Ten with 11 seats. One muppet at Lancaster couldn't understand why the original engine had been retro fitted with a 200tdi and another didn't know what rock sliders were. After several hours of being jerked around I went with the NFU who are brilliant. You have a winch, no problem Sir, Rock Sliders, No problem Sir. Original engine replaced with a 200tdi, I can understand why Sir. Brilliant service with a compan

might be better in the for sale section.

They really are something else. More videos from them here: http://youtube.com/user/BowlerOffroadUK

looking very slim with their summer coats. Will take some pictures this week and PM them to you. Their Court has stood the test of time and four ferts so pleased with that, thank god after the work I put into it .

I have had mine since last year (2 jills from Stubby, and a jill and hob from elsewhere) and I am waiting until next year to breed. Wanted to give it two seasons before breeding so I can get to know my workers and only breed from the best. /mad

Not much. 300 is more refined and quieter. Was was fly-by-wire from 1997 in the UK. And later ones had an EGR. "The 300TDi has a single serpentine drive belt for alternator, power steering etc, better soundproofing and a few small internal differences compare to the 200TDi. Power outputs of the two engines are identical." The 300tdi does though get the R380 gearbox rather than the LT77 "You can't take the pistons out of a 200tdi with the engine in situ because you can't get the ladder frame off with the engine in." mad

Nice disco. they look great with a lift and snorkel. Get those tyres changed asap if you can (bleeding expensive tho). I have General Grabber TR's on just now and they are rubbish. Looking at getting some BF AT's soon so I don't spend all winter stuck in the slippery clay soil we have here.

Another vote for a landy. had mine a couple of months and am in love. parts cheap can fix it yourself Big and solid insurance through NFU who are superb. mad
-
Oh they look adorable! Lovely pictures. /mad
-
It's the BF Muds on steel rims I'm looking at. These Grabbers just fill up with mud within seconds leaving me with slicks. Was thinking of going with 255/85 as a good compromise between width and height. Bleeding expensive though. /Mad

Hey, your not being picky, just passing on your knowledge about landys! It is the only way i have learnt what little I know, by listening to others. But, it is definately an R380 as reverse is down and right. And a 200tdi, albeit with a 300 airbox (or so I have been told). See: and mad

After many many years of wanting a landy I have finally bought a 1990 110. It has had a 200tdi put in with an R380 box and is in fantastic condition. Chassis is solid and well looked after. Previous owner had a log book of everything he did to it and when. Oils changed every 3k, chassis done once a year. Good motor. So far I have fixed a few niggles, difflock level wasn't connected to the selector arm (it really hasn't been offroad!) and rear window demister wasn't working because the voltage sensitive switch had failed (bypassed it with a lead to earth). Apart from that it is fine.

My best is 5, but haven't been out that often. /Mad

I produced a 4 page A5 booklet about ferrets and ferreting for my sons Beaver group. I can mail this to you if you want. it is in pdf format so print ready. Here's another picture for you. /mad

We use these for tick removal: Link to tick removal web site They come in a pack of two, one big one small. Twist the tick and out it comes. Stops it leaving the head inside or spewing its guts inside the fert. To stop the fert wriggling we use Ferretone. /Mad

We used Oriented strand board (OSB) - grades 3 & 4 are water resistant, for the shuttering and a 6 inch concrete floor. The walls have been sanded, sealed and the given 3 coats of gloss. This was to make it easier to wipe down and keep sterile. MDF is very expensive, OSB is £12 a board at 2.4mx1.2m /Mad

Thanks Kay. I managed to find one in Dorking. They are called Denbies View Veterinary Centre (http://www.denbiesviewvets.co.uk/) and they are charging £56 for the snip, and they have a vet who specialises in small animals and has operated on a lot of ferrets. They were careful to check if it was a snip or a chop which was reassuring. Boy is booked in and I will spend the day with my legs crossed thinking about the poor man. /Mad

FFS, just knocked up? That's bloody brilliant! /Mad

Hi, does anyone know of and can recommend any ferret friendly vets in the Surrey area, esp around the Dorking area? Need to get the wee man done. thanks, /Mad

I spent many months last summer building a Court for the ferts and have finally got round to taking some pictures of the inhabitats. Some of these are from when they were kits and just moved in, and others are from a couple of weeks ago. Exploring their new home Posing Attack ferrets Recent photo these are the two I got from Stubby, Ophelia on the left and Susie on the right. After a spate of p***y break ins, the Ferret court security is now provided by a professional company :-) The grey litter you can see in the tray is stuff I get from t

That looks really good, lucky fert. /mad
