First of all merry christmas!
I'm thinking of buying this Defender (pending the sale of my D2) and would like to put an offer in after New Year.
It's a 2008 model with 2.4 engine and 134,000 km on the clock. It looks in very good nick and I've had a test drive. Bodywork looks good, very little rust on the chassis and no untoward sounds coming from the engine bay.
I have some questions that Defender owners will hopefully be able to answer (I've only got experience with a D2)
1. ABS light comes on when starting and doesn't go off until driving a few metres. The sales bloke said this was the case with all Defenders, is that right?
2. there is what seems to be a leak from the power steering dox (last image). How much would this cost to fix in parts (ball-park figure)
3. Car is priced at 15,600 EUR, what do you think? Seller says there is room for negotiation, what should I aim to pay?
Cheers
