^^^^^^ theres the big man himself! :) I've read through the TD5 90 round 2, Will have a read of your first one though. That colour is exactly what I would be looking for when I eventually do a rebuild. Want to get one first though and have a bit of fun it first though! Thanks again guys

Well i have just spent the entire afternoon engrossed in your thread. I don't have a Land Rover myself (yet) but it has definately motivated me to get one. The amount of work you have done, just in your garage, no ramps no fancy tools. Just a bit of elbow grease and attention to detail! there...

2002 l200 4life model. full years MOT. Good reliable truck, not had a hard life at all. It does have scratches, as can be expected from a truck this age although it was unfortunately keyed recently. New front crossmember, power steering unit replaced, recent new exhaust tailpipe, Mid and front...

Can i ask, What did you pay for it to begin with? Apologies if you have said, i must have missed it.

Cheers lads, great reading/seeing the work getting done. Never been more excited to get a defender

Superb mate! great read, just the motivation I need for buying a defender!

haha well i never was a huge fan of the discoverys until the other day, i saw a really tidy, blue TD5. Alot of money spent on it. It was 150k miles but looked mint, all undersealed. Going for 5500 quid. I love the look of the defenders but i still question the ride comfort/road driving quality...

hi there, I'm looking for posts from people that are rebuilding defenders, read a really good one yesterday from a guy who bought a ex MOD for 375 quid and basically did it all up, was really interesting! wondered if there are any more good ones on here? Had a look but couldn't find any...

One of, But i am really looking for THE stongest engine land rover has ever made. ...within my price range :D

What other problems could there be that are typical to the TD5?

I have always heard the bad points of the TD5 but is it really all bad or is it just more difficult to work on due to electrics? If i was buying a defender or disco with a TD5, what are the key things to check? Is their any particular age that i should avoid. I have been looking for a...

Thanks for the reply, answered a few questions for me. I have been looking for a 300tdi or 200tdi. I am the same, it will not be the number one car i rely on, just a hobby toy, hoped to be as reliable as the L200. Thanks for the replies, I could have guessed some of the responses though...

I am looking to purchase my first Land Rover and wondering if a Landy is really for me. I currently own a Mitsubishi L200 which i have had for about 5 years now although I have been toying with the idea of changing it and the Defender has always been a firm favourite. What ever i buy, i would...
