200tdi is generally regarded the more reliable engine as the 300tdi can suffer from overheating, 300tdi is mre refined and slightly more powerful, both are good and a 300 with decent waterpump/rad is realistically just as reliable as the 200's

The big deciding factor in this is how much do you want to spend?

I would say thats high, you can get a 110K motor for sub £300, a 75K motor is only worth £400 tops, as has been said if you got the room buy a rotter and remove the engine, sell the rest and you could make some money...

Ha, thought someone might mention that, it's my budget off roader, a lot more reliable than a land rover but doesn't have the same fun factor, still it's cheap, reliable and comfy so will do for now!

Just get a standard stereo, an iPad or tablet and a screen mount, much better, more useable, better for security, more reliable and easier to install...

finally got it rolling today, attached and ready to be tested off road:

I used a bit of PTFE, you can get tape or fluid, I prefer tape, still had to do them really tight though, they have a union (double male thread) on them, see what side its leaking from. If needs be I am going to be at the garage most of saturday so you can always run it up here if needed....

I kinda like it, its a middle finger to the 'you can't modify that, its a classic' people, ok the arches could do with some more thought but other than that it looks kinda cool, I think I would widen the body and fit fender arches personally, could look the nuts

I had a few oil dripping issues, you have to do them nuts up really tight I found, really tight!!

Thats bull****, take it back and tell them that a. if an item is not fitted it can't be tested, wether or not there is the mountings does not matter and b. there is a claus called 'modified for purpose', its clear this is not a vehicle designed for road use, it the same way a track car can have...

QFT, imagine you had a catastrophic failure on the strata, got stuck in one of the river crossings, heavy rain upstream means your suddenly flooded, its getting dark, nearest house is a good few miles away if you know your way, your cold, wet, little lost, **** gets bad real quick... Or you may...

Replied DVLA details are correct (according to 2 independent programs linked to the DVLA), its insurance database thats wrong and opnly they can advise how to deal with it. If they say 'no its the DVLA' then ask to speak to a supervisor and tell them you have checked already.

PM me your reg and I will see what comes up here, it may be DVLA or it may be the insurance database. Its easy to change, ring DVLA first but generally its write a letter in with a few pictures showing the vehicle, it must have been OK before otherwise you couldn't have got an MOT on it (which...

If its accessible from the road then yes, still treated as public rights of way e.t.c.

Really? Is that how you feel? Bet you moan about the dodgy garages and ****ters that shouldn't be on the road, one of these 'enforce the rules just not upon me' kinda people? For starters the engine being revved is part of the test, the test can be checked by VOSA at any time, the garage...

Woah, calm down there nelly. Have a read of what you put in your first post, not much to go on is there, you have made a statement more than asked a question. If you would have put a bit more effort into asking then maybe someone would put some effort into a reply. First off it could be a...

Body mount is a prescribed area, its a mounting and will fail. Check under pressure, it may only be weeping when the pedal is pushed hard, either that or it may have failed on condition and he has written the wrong thing, have a word before assuming the worst, you can always get them to show...

Best first post ever....

That will be a flat bed, nothing else will do that sort of damage.... hopefully you will catch him but doubtful, if you do find out who it is do not confront him directly, send a letter to his company explaining it was caught on CCTV and unless insurance details are given you will pass on...

The battery box is inside the cab so just pu this coming through the seatbox, easiest, simplest and most effective way....
