Well after a long time of reading through the site abut what to look for when buying a defender i finally bit the bullet. I have previously owned a 300tdi discovery but now am the proud owner of a 1989,landrover 90 with a 200tdi disco engine in it. Sure there will be lots more problems to follow...
