hi guys! need help and info please

very funny oscar!lol

Yep timc your right! we still have steam trains over here! oh and horse trams whos only emisions end up on the road!

thats just what i want a defender i can dive and slowly make my own, rebuild in the future!

oh another question! now dont laugh! if you by a pick-up can you just but a hard top to put on it?

Ive just e-mailed them to see if they will budge on price and maybe part-x my fiat 500, and no im not a hair dresser! actually if you saw my head you would see why!

thanks pat! are td5 generally more expensive to buy?

Just seen your dealer 200 Tdi one

Looks fairly tidy, an honest description but top priced by quite a bit IMHO - I'd be thinking nearer £4k tops with needing to do some work on the bulkhead

If it were a 1994 or newer 300 Tdi and in great conditon that sort of money might not be overly ambitious

depends on what and why you are after one.

if it's to do pay and play / greenlaning, or using it for humping crap about then i'd only spend a max of 2.5k -3k on one and fix any issues it has.

i might be tight

Hey trax ! yep thats the problem i have. Do i want a one for having some fun in and fix issues or one a bit better i can use everyday and slowly improve. Dont seem to be many around that aint been messed with. I'll keep looking! That garage offered me £5300 for my 500, robbing b*stards. cheers

This is proving to be a very helpful thread, i too am looking for my 1st defender and some of the links you have been putting up iv been looking at as well.
Motodrome have some nice cars.

davetebs! keep away from my 90's!!:frusty: only joshing, its interesting seeing what people thing of land rovers you like, but turn out to be c*ap! ha we'll keep looking and find one we like! hope we dont bid on the same landy as the price will shoot up..

i looked at that one too

rather have a csw though

about 300s being more reliable, in 9 months I've had 3 breakdowns
belt tensioner fell apart
headlights failed
wheelbearing welded to hub

I now carry some wire
a spare tensioner pulley with bearing fitted
a wheel bearing kit and big socket

Wheel bearing is heehaw to do with a 300tdi though . That's just lack of grease and user maintenance

it had loads of grease it in, 1997 bearing and sustained high speed killed it lol

i dont suppose anyone lives near Aylesbury? what you think of this?

galv chassis, looks pretty clean. you want to confirm it is a galv chassis and really check the doors and bulkhead. if they are corroded, then use it to get the price down.

look soon, as if it's as described it will go.

Thank trax! thats why i was wondering if any kind member lived near Aylesbury? maybe someone could have a look for me, i'll pay them!
