Rewind 6-7 years when defenders started to really catch my eye and I would've told you 90 all day. The long term view brings the 110 into strong contention, but I honestly seem to change like the wind between both which is why I'm just choosing...
Yep, spins freely when off the ground and no play nor roughness that I can discern. Did have a look at the front prop when I swapped out the U Joints on the rear but will have a go in diff lock with no front prop.
It's almost impossible to price a Defender as two models of the same year can be wildly different in price and quality.
For a hobby car it's a 90 all day long, have a family then it's a 110.
Find one you are happy with then work out the price...
Hub seal leaking onto the disc and backing plate then dripping off the lower swivel pin ?
Oil in swivel rather than grease?

Thank you all for your advice. The MOT history shows no advisories for any rust, although I'm not sure how much that can be trusted, as I'm aware of at least one other Landy nearby being an absolute bucket but having 0 advisories due to a dodgy...
Agree with the above, it may well have seating for four in the back but only if those seated on one side have legs.
If you are a youngster I would strongly suggest an insurance quote would be wise, infact regardless of age get a qoute first.
