If you think he did well with an R reg then you're more than welcome to buy my Y reg 110 for £4.5k?

I always felt I paid over the odds for mine but it had a lot of the "extras" I would have eventually forked out for and I know the chassis, body and engine are in good shape. Engine starts first time no hassle even after 3 weeks standing in the snow/rain and I've no welding or other feckin about to do which is just as well cos I don't have the knowledge or the gear.
If you're happy and it's just a few bolt on bits to replace, you're laffin!

Yeah it's a '97 R 300tdi. 120k miles with FSH, and the rest of it is fairly tidy. It has a few small jobs I want to do to it, but none of them need doing. The chassis is good, the bulkhead is spotless, the engine is sweet. It's been well looked after.
Ghost, your Y reg must be a Td5? I wouldn't give you a tenner for any electronic landy. I don't mean to sound rude but I just don't like the idea of a computer running a vehicle that needs to put up with a rough life. The fact that the export market and military refuse to have it sends me the wrong signals I'm afraid. I wanted a 300Tdi, so I had to pay for it because a lot of them were selling before I got to see them at that price. I assumed it must be reasonable if I was missing them regularly. We do spend a little more around here than you guys up north, don't know why?? We're either richer or more stupid, not sure which!
I got a set of 5 Wolf rims and some Goodyear tyres thrown in, a service, new tailgate straps, they fixed an oil leak for me and done a basic health check. I bought it from a dealer, but sold as seen for cash to get some money off (so I thought!)

thats a brave comment from someone who just brought a ****ed landy for too much money.just you wait,first the engine head then the fuel system then the lights then......
what's so brave about showing some common sense ? - he might have paid a bit ott but he's purchased a fine vehicle that he's more than happy with
just incase your unsure, as i guess it's concept your unaware of

A few more pics would make it easier to tell but as it's the last of the 300tdi's I rekon it's worth the money. It looks like it's a van body. If it was a station wagon it would DEFINATELY be worth it. When I was looking for my replacement landy the late 300tdi's were going for around £1500 more than the early TD5's. Hence the vehicle I ended up with.

What's a brave comment? Saying it's in good condition? You don't have to tell me the things that can (and will) go wrong with them - it's a Land Rover, commonly known as the most unreliable vehicle ever built. What I like about it is I can fix it, unlike a Td5 or later model which would have to go away to somewhere expensive for its regular repairs!
I forgot to say in my first post, it's a HCPU. They're like rocking horse turd, or at least have been since I started searching for one! If it was a van body I wouldn't have paid what I did, they're easy to come by.

I'll put some up later. I can't find the lead for my camera so I'll have to borrow the other halfs when she gets home from work.
Anyway, for a HCPU, was I still robbed? I'm happy with it

You know what it's like buying used vehicles, you can get one that looks mint but is a bag of crap. Just because the fronts battered doesn't mean it's a bad buy. As said High Capacity Pick-ups are hard to find so they will be a premium over a 90 Station Wagon. Good luck to you, if you like it that's all that matters.
