From this one this time
LANDROVER DEFENDER 90 300 TDI | eBay

It all looked so good! Until I got there!

Lets just say I didn't trust the people selling it!

Cheers

Indeed! Had a fine time getting out in one piece and with my money still in my pocket!

Had a lovely new seat box and floor in it but was a shame none of it was actually bolted down!

chap has been worried about buying a defender and some people have been helping him to choose.

To the OP - It should all be in the one thread though

Long way given the dreadful feedback they have

Hmm it seems if it has to be posted he's crap if its a truck people like them. Am guessing that the parts are off the vehicles he buys to fix then sell. I would have a good check of chassis numbers though. At that price with no reserve he's getting them very very cheap.

Judging by the pictures .. I'd say the chassis has been steam cleaned or jet washed and not waxoiled or protected .. there is lots of bare metal already collecting surface rust, I'd poke and pry A LOT if I went to look at it.

Having said that, it looks straight and tidy ish, not my colour but that's easily changed on a Defender ..

I think he has a sprayer and a steam cleaner. Quick paint job ( still got dents in doors) and clean all over.

Suew raises a good point, just had a read of his feedback and I wouldn't bother if I was you, sounds like a prick

Mustbemental · Apr 22, 2013

Yeah I wont be buying that any how!

That Red one - why do people always smother the interior with that silicone dash cleaner stuff to make everything shiney ?
I cant abide that stuff, I would probably walk away just on seeing that!
Ok maybe a light 'dusting' to clean things up - restore some colour or something, but that looks like he's got a bucketful of it and set about the interior with a paintbrush.

Mental, what about the one that LRD90Tdi has for sale in the sale thread? Or is that not what you're after? He said 3000 ovno and someone's just offered 2000. Looks not a bad landy to me

Shiney shiney outside trim too.....shiney shiney tyres... door cards from a dustcart. I would run away from that one, where is that Mo Farrah running away from things website when you need it?

The tub on the red one used to be white.

Just remember that the more you walk away from, the more you have seen, and the more crap you haven't wasted your money on. It will come good in the end if you are lucky

Thats all I've got at the mo, £2000, be £2500 tuesday next week and three by the end of May but I'll be desperate by then as the T&T on my old **** box will be out then and she wont go through another test.

Plus that thing is a hi cap and I'm after a 90
