Part 2. Moving over to South East Asia. Both Singapore and Malaysia operated the Land Rover 110. Singapore went for 2.5-litre diesel, inline-four NA engine 24volt. Malaysia the 300TDI both with 5 speed box. Singapore mainly utilised the 110 with a canvas back, while Malaysia went for the 110 HCPU in vast numbers with a limited amount of Station Wagons and standard pick-ups. The Singapore police-Gov agencys do still use late TD5 and Puma 110 for specialised roles. Like the Perentie all the military ones have now left service, other than a very small number in Malaysia used for Royal Duties and limited specialist roles. These also include the Puma/TD5. The Malaysian Police continue to use the 300TDI HCPU in small numbers, the Toyota Hilux having taken over the majority of this role. ( Should be noted that the Toyoya Hilux is about to enter British army service around 300 Units as part of Project Niala, with it or the Land Cruiser in trials for GLV Wolf replacement ) Many of the Malaysian Defenders have the later style TD5 dash arrangement as this was standard until 2006 when the ROW 300tdi ceased production. Out of all the South East Asia country's in Malaysia they are more Land Rovers than any where else both Military-Gov and Civilian types.

Part 1 of our Military Land Rovers Around The World...... Insane how deep the Winter Wader Wolfs Wade. 1.5 M and they can operate down to -40c. Mainly used by the Royal Marines and the Port regiment. Around 650 were made mostly 110, but with a small number of 90's. And yes some are now very rusty with there dunkings off Landing Craft, however some are in very good condition having had new firewalls etc. With a 300TDI engine disks brakes, Power Steering, Thicker Chassis, Upgraded GVM, rear cargo heaters, heated windscreen, engine heater Etc, a excellent vehicle to buy 2nd hand, or if you don't fancy all the Wader bits a FFR/GS would do the trick. Better than a Perentie? Many think so......with that 300TDI under the bonnet.

A Ford Transit became stuck on Scarborough Beach yesterday after driving onto the sand to unload jet skis, prompting a Range Rover Sport to attempt a rescue, only to find itself equally embedded in a long and proud British tradition of overconfident drivers discovering that beaches are not, in fact, roads.
​
Both vehicles were eventually dragged free by a digger in the early hours of this morning, only after some swimmers had fun using them as a diving platform. Happens all the time..;
