110s drive much better on the road in my opinion, and they're almost as good off road. Given the choice, I would have a 110 over a 90 any day

What year and engines do these vehicles have? Also you might want to consider an export form europe if you can find one, as these won't have as much rust as you get here in britain.

If you must have a 110, a solid 300tdi is in my opinion the best to get. But have you considered a discovery? :eek: :behindsofa:

bloody awful...

Took me almost a month, but finally got one! 2004 td5, black, top spec pursuit model with manual transmission! It towed my 1.7 tonne jaguar back from chesire superbly. I don't have any of my own pics, just those off autotrader. Now to get a new engine for my defender... :doh::eek::D...

I'm not entirely sure if they are cross ventilation vents. If they are, they are for letting the air from the heater flow through the cab freely, otherwise the heater will be even more useless than usual.

Aren't they cross ventilation for the heater?

We should suggest it to this guy

I almost shat myself when I saw it! Thought it was a real etype! :eek: But still, WHY do people do this!!!?!??!?!??!?!

For £3000, you'd probably only be able to get a 200tdi anyway (although a fairly solid one). 300tdis are more refined though, so if you are willing to pay at least £500 more for a decent one then go ahead :D

He's a bit racist though:D:rolleyes: To be honest though, I think you'd be better off with a later 300tdi than a td5

Personally, I think that mitare****ties around that price are at the end of their usable life, and will be falling to bits, whereas a land rover or toyota will keep going forever (sometimes quite unfortunately)

Just test drive them both :rolleyes: Gaylanders are noisier when the door have fallen off but quieter when they're not working:rolleyes:

also engine and year?

One of the best things about the defender is that you can fill it with whatever **** you like and abuse it as much as you want and it will be ready to be used sensibly the next morning. Having said that, I'm now looking for a td5 disco, as my defender's engine blew up and the vehicle is now in...
