:5biagree: :5biagree: :5biagree: I appreciate your comments guys and I suppose I am learning that I wont be getting what I had in my mind which was a mint tdi300.... surely its a natural reaction, a noobie wanting to...

Still aint got my Defender yet but nothing stopping me looking at what security features I will be putting on it to ensure the scum bags have as much difficulty as possible stealing it... Spotted a few related articles today that I found interesting..... I not saying that I will be adding...

Its been an interesting few months has the learning about Defenders... I appreciate all the good advise I have received from this forum and other forums and its this advise that has allowed me to still have my hard earned money still in my pocket and not in the pocket of those who are what for a...

Having spent many hours online reading different posts, blogs, sites, tips etc on the vehicle I inspected I found a few issues which made me walk away from what appeared to be good purchase.... Im happy that my money is still in my pocket.... The above comments came in very useful so thanks...

So lets assume we've seen a decent motor and we want to start haggling down the price... Im thinking as I work my way round the motor im looking for faults, wind screen wipers, indicators, heaters, electrics etc.... then body work, wheels, tyres etc... then the important stuff like whats under...

Thanks for the VIN plate location. Milage is just under 60000. Any help with engine number and chassis number location please. I can see that some people are thinking this guy is a right numpty and yea your probably right, but just trying to make sure I dont get ripped to the best of my...

Thank you for the last few comments... in the last hour or so i have had a good chat with a guy who is selling a tdi 300 and I am off on a journey early hours tomorro to view it. It has very low milage, fsh, all previous mots, cambelt has been changed, all related documents available, appears to...

Thank you all for your comments some excellent contributions have been provided and I appreciate that. In answer to some points raised I would like to purchase one that I dont believe will need immediate amounts of money being spent on it due to not paying careful attention when purchasing it...

Well you ask what age landy I am looking to purchase with FSH and MOT's etc.... ideally I would like a 300 tdi but I understand that finding a genuine model with genuine milage going back to 94-98 is going to be a very tricky exercise... I have spotted a few sites with perfect ones, but...

Still looking at different 90's and trying to find the perfetc one for me.... besides the problem of what model 90 to get and the problem with what engine to get..... I still have an issue with milage on motors... lets assume Im only going to be buying a Land Rover with Full Service History and...

A big thanks 'Station House' for taking the time to find that buyers guide, a very useful piece of information... I will say its left me feeling like I have a very important exam and aint revised... I feel like I will need to look over as many Defenders as it takes till I get a good feeling...

Ive got a budget of 10k... Im in the North West... who is good to go see and who is a defo dont go near ?? Just followed a few threads on dodgy dealers... So any advice would be massively appreciated.

Having listened to so so many horror stories regarding buying a Defender I feel I have no option but to almost buy a new one (not that I can afford a new one). Although it will guarantee the milage is correct, that it aint been rebuilt from various other defenders, aint been towing a huge weight...

It seems practically impossible to buy a low milage tdi now adays given that they ended in 1998... Having spent the last two months researching everything I can about defender 90's, 110's, speaking with farmers and other owners of Land Rovers, it seems that even with a full service history...

I know there are lots of threads on security, just sat and read hundreds of posts, some from quite a while ago... Befor I purchase my Land Rover I want to have some security elements installed prior to bringing it home. I just wondered if people would be willing to add positive comments on...

Checked both sides and no side had the Td5 decals... started looking online at other Td5's on an 04 plate seems some dont have the decals... Where would one get exact information on this??

Hello folks, Went to view a Td5 Defender 90 yesterday, been thinking over night and remembered it had no side decals behind the front wheel arches... it is on a 04 plate... is this usual? or is this a sign of a damage repaired, resprayed etc ?? All help appreciated.
