Cheapest 200tdi?

I could not believe my look this afternoon, just been up to Lockerbie to meet a guy who had won a load of my old Rallying stuff (nothing better to do and he was paying my fuel costs), so with a load of cash in my pocket I thought I'll just have a look on fleebay to see what Disco parts catch my eye. There it was just listed 2 minutes ago a K reg 200tdi with a buy it now price of £300 and only 15miles away and even better a phone number. So whilst talking to the owner I hit the Buy it Now button, panic call to a mate to act as driver and we are there on the doorstep 45 minutes later. 5 months Mot and tax until the end of the month, V5 in the owners name and the address is correct as are the chassis and engine numbers, cash changes hands and we are away 10 minutes later. The drive back showed the 200 to have the legs on my 300 so as soon as I got it back home up with the bonnet to check it out. It has a full width intercooler and going by the black smoke it was shoving out the "ip" has been turned up, but looking closer there is a split in the lower feed pipe to the intercooler so there is even more to come!!!!!!
Shall keep you posted with my findings.
Happy New Year to all at LandyZone. Barry

jammy b**stard!

It's normally me that misses out on the good deals, so it has made me feel really smug!!! Only problem I have now is the missus has just TOLD me that the 300 is now HERS not mine anymore. You win one lose one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don't worry - 200's are better than 300's anyway!

I thought the 300 was quite quick with being a pre egr valve model, but now not so sure. The 200 can now be turned into my off roader properly as before I had to keep the 300 in nice presentable condition as it was used as our main family vehicle when we all go out together (the misses has a small diesel hatch, daughter has a 90td and son has a series 11).

Done it again on fleebay, this time 2 x NEW BF Goodrich AT 225/75x16 for £70.00. I am the jammiest bastard I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
