my mate should get his 110 delivered this week (ordered a month ago). he went for all the optional extras and then saw the final price and promptly removed them all again. 14k AED for a ****ing winch!

Cheers Brains, could you ask him if the A/C is standard or an extra as well. I know everyone will think it should be standard but this is Land Rover

Oh the joys of overheating, piss poor water pumps and leaking head gaskets. The last british engine I owed was the K-series... never again.

If there ain't no water under 'em, there ain't no water in 'em.

MH, I have forgiven her for weeping a little but it was that nasty German v8 and not a good British or american engine

They have thrown in insurance and extras are fitted at cost. Still pricy mind. 90 is 155aed and 110 165aed. AC standard with 2.2derv engine but has shit loads if torque (nearly as much as the v8 hummer!) Oh and there all manual too.

Sounds like a decent deal. Thanks for the update. You best buy one whilst you can. The replacement is on the way and it just won't be the same.

they probably had to reallocate budget after the tear gas sales were stopped by popular demand from the british public (ie mentioned in the Sun) and armored land rovers were next on the list...
