2002 Defender 110 Td5 Black LE Java Black

2002 110 "black" limited edition

Ok, so this is one of those basic limited editions that land rover seem to produce from time to time, but a limited edition none the less. I have had it about a year and have done plenty already but thought it about time I started a specific thread.

Here is how she arrived on my door back in April 2012.

This is the best picture I can find. She arrived minus the camping gear of course. I have since removed the wonky land rover lettering on the bonnet and spent many hours polishing. All he doors have been refurbished, including welding the frames and repainting.

I have fitted heated seats. Tried to link to my install guide but it seems to have disappeared.

I decided to underseal her this week and after pressure washing off the old stuff, I felt I ought to share her condition with you all. I was a little worried about what I would find as seen as she is 11 years old. I will let he pictures do the talking

The condition of the chassis

I was amazed to see that the chassis is still 99.9% covered in factory paint. This thing must have been under sealed by the previous owners from new!

More to follow including progress on undersealing and my double cab storage solutions....

Nice looking motor, there must have been a bit of a purge on in 2002 at Lode Lane because my 110 has got very little evidence of rust on the chassis, bit of surface rust on the rear cross member but the chassis is fine. There is still some evidence of underseal in places and I seriously doubt the previous owner added to any sort of rust prevention as it was just one of many in their fleet!

Very nice! What's different about this limited edition compared to a standard Defender? An engine to TDi for!

I am beginning to think it must have been a good year too. It doesn't leak either!

Come to think of it, it doesn't leak oil either!

Not much. Full leather interior plus xs spec, loads of chequer plate and a front "windscreen protector", otherwise known as a fake roll cage, similar to the tomb raider one

The canvass back has windows on the side too....is this unusual?

Jason G 110 has one like this. His is a G4 and very nice it is.

I'm trying to buy a Black LE 110! Only catch is I seem to be third in line for it!

Originally they had a silver front hoop but several where swapped or painted to black. The rear good should be black with side windows (most seem to have now got later ones/ none at all).

Your looks great!

Mine was powder coated black by the previous owner. I thought about returning it to original as apart from the winch it is totally standard and unmolested, including the tilt. However, they really didn't look right in silver!

I prefer them in black, but I have a spare in silver stored away somewhere!

I spent a long hard day today under the land rover cleaning, wire brushing and de greasing. I managed to put on the hydrate 80 and do some of the masking off.

The hydrate 80 is wierd stuff. You can actually see it working and converting the rust (or is it just hiding it?!!)

I decided to strip back the crossmember ready to paint it to match the bodywork rather than underseal it.

Here you can see the colour of the hydrate 80 when it goes on and it's colour 30 minutes later
