MPG from a Tdi 300, defender 90

I used to get around 30 mpg from my 90 300tdi. Insurance was always high, but I found Land Rover insurance to be very good for me. That said, I was 20 with two years no claims when I got my first. I think I paid around £800 fully comp with legal cover and the recovery package.

The N/A doesn't have a turbo, and on the road it's slow! It will be cheaper mind, and for off road use it's just as good as the tdi really.

If you can afford it get a tdi, they're nicer to drive. If not a N/A diesel is better than no landy at all!

The N/A isn't that bad. It just depends what state its in. I rebuilt mine and I've over taken plenty of newer 90's and 110's on the motorway (turbo engines) at 65-75 mph.

I'm 19 now and when I got my 90 (17) it only cost £430 fully comp for the year with my dad as the main driver. That was with the NFU.

Neither am I! Ensleigh and similar companies wanted over £2,000 but the NFU asked for £430. Huaaaaage difference.

thanks for the info, i think im just going to go as a named driver on my dads astra with directline, then after 2 years. ill take out my own policy on a tdi 90 which would be about 800-900. damn.. have to wait 2 n abit years for a landy.

I'm 22 and have recently bought a 300tdi landy, insured it with direct line for £400.

Heard from a friend, who's actually younger than me, that fitting a £200 immobilizer reduced his premium from £400 to £200! He's with More Than.
