Madcowz 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 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. Next stage is to bin those awful bling alloy wheels and tyres. The GG AT's are rubbish and I really need some serious mud tyres as we have had 'issues' everytime we have been out. Ok, the fields were like lakes and the soil is heavy clay but even so, the treads fill up and I go nowhere. You can see more pictures on my web site regards, /Mad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simoman 110 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Nice landy, surprised you don't like the General grabbers, I had BF Goodrich A/T on my truck and changed to Generals and I actually prefer them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pignut 4 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Nice Landy. I have BF Goodrich A/T's and they do the job fine for me but I am in peaty soil so no clay. Diff makes all the difference when it works too! Got me out of many scrapes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanB 0 Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Excellent mad cowz, can't beat them got a 90 at the minute, could be tempted with a 110 pickup later on down the line ... I've got the BF Muds on mine, when I first got it, the original tyres were on it, think they were general grabber tr's, but to be honest there not much difference with the muds, comfort wise, but offroad, never been stuck yet its like a quad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcowz 0 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
