What are his prices like for panels and touch ups? I need a full rear safari door and some touch ups with the odd bit of rust getting on my nerves.

Quite humorous I think, better than a standard breakdown ad.

Oh well, his search for a new motor rumbles on! Thanks for helping dodge this bullet even if the other forum stepped in! If he finds another good buy I'll drop it in here and even if it is good, we get to appreciate another defender being bought by a good owner!

+1 looking forward to hearing any response

Dodgy world indeed! Definitely worth a thorough check on this

Exactly! Plus any mods you want to do, maybe some sound deadening, a remap later on, still quids in

Definitely. My mate is gonna check it further. But even if it needs a bit of work, it won't be the £10k under its value will it! So still a bargain

I would expect around £10k but maybe it's age is against it or they just have money to burn? Maybe it's all legit and he just wants a quick sale?

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/land-rover/defender/2003-land-rover-defender-90-td5-xs-black/4573917 Can anyone see any faults with this? My mate wants a landy and will buy this tomorrow if it's not too good to be true. Seems ok to me, thought I'd see if I'm right....

would hopefully be in good order. Easy if hard top or with windows. Maybe id be pushing to see if side panels were available also as well as a rear door whether safari door or pick up style. This is for a trailer project.

On way to the airport to get back to the homeland and to normality. Excited to say the least

Roger. So we're looking at big money. Maybe I'll just wait a little while longer

Ah yes. Very local. I frequent St Ives occasionally and leave my landy bang in the centre car park near the tower thing. In my head if it's on display it's safer!

So how much do you think you'll be spending with these guys? And are you fitting yourself or paying for the luxury?

Roger! That's pretty much what I needed to know. I don't plan on selling ever. But I do like the idea of upgrading parts as time goes on and things fall off. So maybe I can work it in long down the line when I have better everything else. Thanks! I'll also look at that Garrett thread.

I've been reading up on this. Is is a good idea? How expensive is it to get and have fitted? Will it save a tonne of fuel? Anyone got any useful experience? Thanks

Fair one! I guess wherever I buy not surrounded by wire fence will be well security protected! There are a couple of bargains there. Can't remember exactly. But ultimately I'm looking for somewhere undervalued and maybe wants some work doing.

Nightmare! I'm worried as Holmfirth is a location I'm considering buying my first property... How bad is the area for LR thefts?

Doss bag doss bag. Where art thou doss bag?

You're not too far from me then Muck x2. I live in Wyton throughout the week
