New 110 ordered!
Hello Everyone!

I am new to this forum (all forums actually) and I have just ordered a new 110 county double cab in Keswick green with cold pack from my local garage (an independent not a franchise) to replace my current TD5 (which has been something of a tale of woe in the last year). I had a half day at Land Rover Experience Honiton which convinced me that the new 2.2 seems a good idea! It is due for delivery in mid October.

My question is what can I expect from the new 2.2 as opposed to my current TD5? My TD5 was so woefully gutless at low revs I had it chipped (mildly) and the 2.2 that I drove on the LRE day seemed so much better (I wonder if it was 'tuned' at the factory?), I understand gearboxes and clutches may be a little weak? Any information on what to expect would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

You won't regret it. The 2.2s pull very well in low gears.

excellent choice Thumbs Up and no the LRE cars are not remapped at the factory. they are standard so you can see how brilliant they are when drive them. They are even on whatever is the standard rubber at the time. continentals at the moment general TR before that. having said that the D4s will have the rear active locking diff fitted and some centres fit some under body protection but that's about it. 2.2 Tdci 110 XS CSW Corris Grey

Thank you! Yes it was on continentals at LRE, I was amazed as my TD5 is on Goodrich MUDs (I do not do recreational off-roading but I do use it gently in muddy fields...) but the 2.2 was very impressive at tickover (anti-stall working I guess) and went everywhere it was asked.

Where in Wiltshire - Devizes, I have ordered it from Joyce's in Trowbridge (who have looked after my last few).

One other question - If I want to waxoyl or dinitrol it, will that effect the warranty?

Rick81, You are a lucky man....you only have about a 6 week delivery time.....we will have been waiting over FIVE MONTHS, if our 90 arrives on time!
Enjoy, Pickles.

Blimey Pickles - I thought the eight week (I ordered it a fortnight ago) wait was long...

Rick just got a new 90 2.2 - Friday, having had a td5 previously, I was pleasantly surprised by the technically smaller engine.

Pulls really well accelerates well & vast improvement IMHO over the TD5 also much better on noise levels & I've gone from a 90 XS to a 90 HT 2020 P300 HSE

You won't regret getting a Puma, they are very good vehicles.

Waxoyling the chassis (and excellent idea as the factory protection is woeful) will not affect the warranty (certain't hasn't on mine) 2011 110 USW
