Hi what would you expect to pay for a good condition 200 tdi 1991 chassis and all running gear in good condition and engine on 140,000.
Its the best one i have seen and also no oil leaks at all.

I'm always suspicious when there's no oil leaks

hamish123 · Oct 12, 2013

Why if they are maintained right they should not leak never understand people who allways say its a landrover its meant to leak.

a) Because most do to some degree......rare is a 200 that loses nothing at all through the rear crank seal....and...

b) Because most people have a sense of humour

Ouch look at me!!

There will be very few TDI owners who can honestly and truly say that their Defender doesn't leak oil somewhere! It's all to do with the seal tolerances and modern oil to some degree. All I was getting at was for you to make sure that it hadn't been clogged up with the synthetic 'Stop Leak' type stuff!

But hey, I was only offering an opinion!!!

You did check there was some oil in it didn't you

Hi point taken,all levels checked and all ok .
Suppose what i meant was that if seals etc are maintained and looked after then they should remain oil tight.

They should remain oil tight ... for a while ... and then they leaks!
