Ah! Now I understand, thank you.

Damn you all and your Defender suggestions

I have to now admit that I've been tentatively glancing at a few and I have to say they do seem to fit the bill. I ideally wanted to get a series but that's not looking good and for the money I'm prepared to spend I can indeed get a 300tdi 110.

OK so it's a major back track but I can now see sense or at least I can see that I should add them to my choice list.

85 posts on this ... and you've finally started to see sense!!

Tratters for ever!!

Well I'm not totally to blame here, it's been nag nag nag....

Seeing sense? This is where next week you'll be on here with a 101 Forward control instead

Good luck with finding a defender you like, hopefully you'll have more luck

Mad but not that mad, I'm surprised that I actually know what one of those is!

Having spent a couple of hours surfing there seems to be far more decent (looking) Defenders out there. I've not ruled out a Series though, I just have to be more patient but that's not something I'm good at when car buying is involved.

Damn you all







I bought a defender 110 CSW. 1996 300tdi, a ton of miles, one owner and a few jobs needed. Nothing too bad, mainly little niggly jobs and a ruddy good clean.

I'll update in the relevant section as soon as I've made a list of issues and some questions.

Good man, glad you could see sense in the end... Any pictures?

I spoke with Tonks once about a chassis change, you said you would get back to me.

Still waiting, and that was 2008. Great customer service.

Now now now Rush Rush Rush. Chill man and let it happen...

Well after weighing up all the pros and cons, plus the amount of terrible series Land Rovers I saw, I think being swayed over the the Defender was a good choice.

I only have the one picture at the moment but more will follow on a dedicated thread in the Defender area.

Luckily, my only experience of series Land Rovers has been pretty bad, so I hope not, but you never know. I do tend to swap my cars about a lot, this is car number 40.
