If I had a neighbour that was able to bail me out of trouble as and when I got stuck, which would be daily as I have no expereince with landrovers yet then it would certainly be an option... a fantastic way of being self sufficient with your own vehicle, you would know it inside out and also be...

Was looking online trying to see if its possible to buy a Brand New Tdi 300....like you do... ended up following some links to reconditioned engines etc.... No affiliation to this company... but I found it fascinating reading on the process of refurbing your engine... just follow the next step...

Thanks for the help... I am not trying to fit them... its just that I have seen a tdi with the vented/raised bumps on and I wanted to know if these surrounds have come off a Td5 or could be original. Apologies for not asking a consise question.

Sorry added a photograph after james has posted. hope this helps... is the last one only from the Td5 onwards ???

Could some one please tell me if the black light surrounds with the three lumps are from a td5 or did they actually exist on the tdi model aswell aswell.... will upload an image shortly to help explain... The above item says upto 1996... I have seen a 1998 tdi but that models light...

Lots of good tips and advise given on this thread... I know I will be chucking a good few quid at tips given.... Either that or they could use your pride and joy for a game of ram the punto... YouTube - ‪punto gettin pused in 2 a lampy by a 90‬‏ Scumbags !

I would tread very careful... from what I have read on here even if it aint a healthy defender you get from him, some have even been stolen... I also searched a few other forums on yan and it was seriously bad reading...

I cant say if this particular vehicle is dodgy, even if this company is dodgy, but I would be suspicious of a Trade Seller that trades under many different names... the same seller is listed as lannys, lannys4x4, defenders ?? Surely if your wanting to build a good reputation, a good brand...

Its awful news Tom but what you have done is highlight another trader ' yan the landy man ' who has let the buyer down... the more you read these different posts on the different land rover forums the less amount of online reliable traders exist in my eyes.... I know its difficult but a...

I am always on the hunt to learn something new... are you refering to the F reg vehicle I said I looked at yesterday Karlos ?? I would be intruiged to know if this is still classed as a 200 befor it became a 200Tdi. I only know this vehicle as the 2.5 turbo desiel, not the 200Tdi and not the...

:5biagree: this seems to be where Im heading.... if after I bought my banger Ive enjoyed the ride.... so to speak, then maybe I'll look for something a little more 'Mint'.... went and looked at a F Reg 90 CSW 2.5 TD today... new cross member welded, bulkhead welded at footwell, from my garage...

My view would be that your nerves are telling you something..... never ignore your intuition/gut feeling... At 12k I would want all my suspicions satisfying.... dont be hasty... you will find the vehicle you want... dont let your heart rule your mind... you can have the defender you want but...

Some very good contributions and some very valid points have been raised.... Many thanks people....

I dont proffess to have much mechanical knowledge... I got plenty enthusism though... and as I have wanted a Defender since I was young Im sure I will enjoy the journey for all it brings both good and bad... at least with this forums help I wont have rushed out and bought a rust bucket just...

Im also considering if I may have to return with a new id for this forum when I eventually pluck up the courage to spend my money on a defender and then have to bring my pictures for all to see.... Cant wait to take it off road with you guys too..... :rolly:

Im not gonna be too worried about every knock and rattle... just ensuring I dont fall foul and spend my hard earned savings on a potential cut and shut ringer, a rust bucket, something overclocked or a serious load lugger...

I appreciate by the sounds of my continuous scrutiny, suspicion and questioning that I sound like the wrong person for a Defender... yet Im merely finding out what to look out for... So far my money is still in my pocket thanks to some good bits of advice that this site and other forums have...

Ive been looking for decent Defender for a good while now and online its full of the same people selling the same kind of stuff... cleaned, refurbed and over priced.... On a previous post I highlighted my suspicion about milage and was informed not to worry about high milage as such and the...
