TD5 110 Crew Cab.... any good..?

[ben]

So, anybody running one of these? I'm thinking it could be my next mode of transport. I assume its a bastard to park and isnt as fast as my Golf GTI. I have been running around in a 2000 TD5 Disco for a bit and thats quick enough.
I would obviously take it off road, I assume there are no problems - will even be better than my Series III probably.
The costs of running the Disco are well high, is the 110 the same.
Any advice would be welcome, the good ones seem to be priced at 12K upwards.

I had a TD5 110 CSW for the past few years, it was fine, cruised ok with an overdrive fitted but no ball of fire.

Running costs were ok, new tyres every 60,000 miles and service every 12,000. Didn't really have any problems with it and very good off-road.

I've just sold it last month - it will be missed.

They look fine but the load bay is minuscule. Especially with the spare mounted back there.

I like the way they look though.
If your feeling rich, Safety Devices do a lovely full external cage for the 110 crew. Looks great, especially with the integrated roof rack!
