@GeekOKent - thanks for the response, not sure of the age of the tyres but they look newish, relatively unworn with plenty of tread. There's no uneven wear or damage and according to the records I could find the 105 has only done 6000 kilometres since late 2006. I won't be taking it out on any...

Hi folks - I have Bridgestone AT tyres on the wheels below of my armoured 105, I had a slow puncture which we have repaired but it made me wonder about whether winter tyres would be necessary. Obviously the vehicle weighs 4.5 ton and we live on top of a hill in the Pennines where it does snow a...

Excellent @GeekOKent - much appreciated. I'll get my mechanic to investigate why when its next in.

Hi guys I have a 2003 ex-military armoured 105 4.5 petrol with a sub tank and 24,000 miles on the clock. I'm not very mechanically minded so please be gentle......it does not seem to start up from the Sub tank but switches over from main to sub and works ok? I'm sure when I first purchased it...

@Gary820 @SteveJB not sure to be honest whether it's steel plating or kevlar, will check today if I can. i know it was converted by Stoof in 2002 and commissioned for service in 2004 where it went via Gibraltar to Beirut and was utilised when Israel invaded Lebanon in 2006. According to its...

Hi guys it weighs a lot, I'm sure I read it was just under 5 ton (don't know whether that rings true or not)..... all the armour is being retained. The only thing I've added to it is a stereo with reversing camera. Still getting used to the left hand drive, manual, gearbox and petrol engine. Its...

All the way from Japan in 2002 to Germany for armour, bullet resistant glass and modifications, then onto Gibraltar before transferring to Lebanon and eventually back to UK last year. 37000 Km. It’s my first ever following an abusive relationship over 20 years with Range Rovers and Defenders...

@Higgy - I needed a clear out ! 2008 Defender 110 double cab already sold, my favourite Range Rover TDV8 2008 now advertised, my 2006 4.2 supercharged Range Rover 35th anniversary (no 27 of only 35) given to my son in Sheffield, MG Midget plus 2x VW T4 campervans marketed, my Vespa LX125 and...

@GeekOKent - it will be my daily driver in the Pennines around Blackshaw Head. A bit of school run for the foster kids, a bit of building work for my property business, a bit of ferrying care staff around for my care business in the snow, a bit of off roading on the farm, a bit of travelling to...

Thanks for the advice @AndycruiserguyLomas - I will give the LPG a miss. It will be interesting to see how I manage without a heated steering wheel, cabin heater, 360 degree cameras, television and heated/cooled massgae seats that I have in my Range Rover L322 at present :fearscream:

Hi @Higgy - Yes it was on ebay with a garage local to me. I've bought campervans, Range Rover classics and defenders off him in the past and he's always been dead honest with me.. I paid £19950 for it and have no idea whether thats rubbish value or not but its affordable to me and I'm happy with...

Hi there - its a 2004 armored 105 9 seater 4.5 manual with barn doors. Armor completed by Stoof of Germany including Alarm siren x3 tone All round heavy duty upgraded compensated breaking system Anti-explosion exhaust insert Back door configuration manual/ electronic Battery additional vehicle...

Hi folks - just bought a Land Cruiser Amazon 105 lhd 4.5 petrol ex MOD armored with 21,000 miles. Having revelled in Land Rover Defenders and Range Rovers for 20 years I have now finally decided to try a vehicle which hopefully works on a more regular basis and doesn't get stolen as often......
