Series 3 V 110

<< < (2/2)

diff-breaker:
When you say petrol is more driveable due you mean more power and eco friendly ?
On the subject of how rich am i - basically considering selling my 110 and getting an older SWB whilst still needing windows, rear seats for kids but still go off road with family in it so want a relatively cheap one to then
make any modifications.

the loon:

--- Quote from: "diff-breaker" ---:?:  I have a 110 defender but am considering selling and getting either a Series 2 or 3 diesel after busting my diff - ouch to the pocket !
I am told repairs are easier and cheaper ?
I want to continue to go off roading so want a cheap one to then do bits to it - is it correct that to change leaf spring to coils you need a new chassis ?
Can the height be raised without changing to coils ?
My concerns are leaf springs hitting rocks is this a problem which is why i ask about raising ?
If going in water do you need specific wading kit in additional to snorkel ?
Any issues fitting a winch to a series vehicle?
What additional benefits do overdrive and free wheel hubs give and are they a must ?
Anything else i should consider ?
So many questions  :-k

Diff had had my SIII since jan (my first 4x4) its been raised at somepoint and leaf srings are fine as someone fitted "bloody big tires" at some point
I would strongly recomend the overdrive as it does make a reall differance. I know plenty of cases of people buying old old series just for the overdive units (overdrives go for about £150 on ebay)
with wading kit I've been through some resonable depth of water (stuff that would never take a car through) and had no probs
I would go with diesel though if I was you rater than petrol (thats a personal preferance mind you)
If your looking for a S111 may be tempted to part with mine as having looked around could fancy a lightweight
if you want pictures etc mail me and will let you see details etc
