Whilst admiting that the TLC takes the crown for desert work, I have been very pleased with the performance of my 200 Tdi engined 110 on four Libyan trips. With overdrive engaged it will cruise easily at 65/70 mph and return 25/28 mpg. This makes the long Calais to Marsielles haul posible in about 18 hours. The only time I wish I had the TLC power is when faced with a big dune climb. The Toy just powers on up leaving me furiously whacking it down through every gear in the box.
With decent servicing by grubby men who know whats what, baked up mby my own 'learnt on the job' skills, I hope it will carry on giving me good service for years. I have to admit that it has cost me a fair bit over the years. Probably £10K, but per trip thats not too bad and it must still be worth quite a bit now. Though I'm not selling!
