Hi
Desperate to buy a Land Rover for some Off Road fun but have no money((
Looking for a cheap 90 diesel ( under £1000 ) but did notice a 110 near
where I live that needs a clutch.
Cant do it myself so anyone got a ball park figure for what a competent
mechanic should charge for the job ?

VitaraV6
Needs Land Rover

I would think around £250 fitted. I fins the 110 a nicer drive & miles more practical than a 90 to be
honest too.

IIWY I'd be looking at series IIs or series IIIs. any 90/110s for that sort
of money are going to be genuine scrap...

there are some quite nice SIIAs and SIIIs about, and pre-73 ones are free
road tax, too, of course.

So nice I drove it home and sold it for £4250.

Unfortunately I would buy at a high price then the "bottom " would fall out
of the market or out of the Land Rover .

Bidding on a 110 but know if I win its a dog!

early SIII or SIIA are more or less the same for most purposes. If you
don't intend to do a lot of mileage, a 2¼ petrol makes more sense than a 2¼
diesel although if you intend serious off-roading in deep water the diesel
is easier to waterproof.

I have a 110 for sale. It needs about £500 spent on it [at a garage] to get
through MOT but if you trailer it then all it needs is a set of front left
swivel pin bearings. It also has an engine knock which means that the engine
won't last indefinitely but it performs well at present. Will sell for £1500
and that is rock bottom.
Am considering keeping it on the road myself but £1500 would perhaps
persuade me. Frankly I'll only have to pay tax on the 1500, so maybe not.
Try me.

Yes and only about 5 miles from where i live. so trailoring it to my local
garage was no problem.

I emailed him to ask if he made a habit of pulling listings. Not even a
sorry just something about unforeseen circumstances.

fat chance. sorry, but this happens.

you find some ebay items that say "this will not be pulled". But consider
it from the seller's POV - often, the vehicle is advertised elsewhere at an
optimistic price - if you're the seller, and the thing's bid to say 450 quid
and you hope it might make 1200 and someone sees your ad for 1600 quid and
comes along waving readies, you're going to take the 1600.
