It shouldn't be old, I bought it from a BP up the road at the weekend. I did see two HGVs, a quarry truck, a Mitsubishi pickup and a Rover 200 at the side of the road between Northwich and Church Minshull so I didn't feel like such a pillock having to pull over every two minutes! Re: petrol...

Cheers for that chaps, I think it might have been down to either waxy diesel or some water contamination (although that doesn't really explain the blue smoke). I just took her out to the shops for lunch (along with half the office) and she started and ran fine, nothing untoward — in fact once...

Hello good people, My 300tdi 90 was determined not to start this morning (it was -12°C according to next door's Golf) but eventually fired into life with the usual small puff of smoke. Having set off however I soon (50 yds) noticed the revs dropping regardless of how hard I mashed my frozen...

Well I finally bought a little 'un yesterday, pics etc to come soon. 87 miles into ownership and I lost the passenger side window wiper... So the first thing was to bodge a quick repair so the missus could see where we were going! I also fed it, showed it to anyone who would look and shook my...

So, reading between the lines, I should just stop being a whinging short-arse and get on with it!;) Looking at that link, 4-inches of extra travel would probably do the trick. Thanks! J

Are there many taller drivers of Defenders out there? I'm around 6'3" so not huge by any measure, but I do have long legs (especially between feet and knees) and I have found test driving a couple of 90s this weekend a bit of a chore. One (which had lovely big seats) was downright dangerous as...

Couple of votes for Number Two then... Cheeky offer ahoy, cap'n!

Excellent, thanks for that. I'm lucky in as much as I don't have to buy, and I'm willing to trek around on the weekend, so I can take my time to find 'the one'. The money is whispering to me from under the bed though ;)

Damn, the images have disappeared from the first one.

OK some links below. This will be my only transport and commuter and I don't mind paying a bit more for the peace of mind a warranty etc brings, especially as this is my first dabble. Am I being a bit naive though? First Second Third Also if anyone has experience with these sellers...

Hi all, I'm after my first Landy, and I'm aiming for a Defender 90 CSW. I have £5k to play with and a Celica to P/X against it. I've seen three (am I allowed to post the links up here?) that I'm interested in that run down like this: 1994 'L' 300Tdi, 120k, FSH, 12m P&L Warranty, Roof Rack...

Thanks for the welcome chaps, I did consider keeping hold of the Yota, but I don't have the space or resources to run two motors. I'm sure the Landy will be fine...:5bsmilielol5: Jim

I've got £5k and a Celica to chuck in (whether this is a plus or not, I don't know...) I'm not in a massive hurry so I'm taking my time to gather info and learn what I can, I'm completely new to LRs and not espeically good with a spanner (yet... but I am quite tight so I expect to be learning...

Hi All, Have been looking to change my Celica (:doh:) for a something I can be proud of for ages, so I've been using LZ for a good while now. I'm looking for a 200 or 300 tdi, probably a 90, probably a CSW. But I'm open to suggestions! Hope to be a paid up member soon. Cheers, JimWood
