Got my first landy from Doug at bespoke off-road in Oxfordshire. Talked to him before driving down and he was very honest that the bodywork was a bit rusty but mechanics, chassis and bulkhead were brilliant dispute being off a hay farm. Picked her up and Doug mentioned a slight oil leak, said 50...

Shes got a flaky bod which doesnt show on pics but focussed on engine, chassis and bulkhead condition

bit of a change from the old ford puma!

This is Margot, nothing special but the chassis and bulkhead seem pretty minty

Ok point taken, how do I load pics?

Well ive taken the plunge and theres a 90 on the drive! Thanks to everyone for their advice, I went with a 300tdi county which was definitely the right choice. Cant wait to start burning money on the old girl :rolleyes:

Hi all I'm on the search for my first Defender (5k absolute max) I've got a really good guide of things to look out for, but it would be good to know if there are any good dealers in the area (cheshire). I've just escaped yanthelandyman by checking on here so hoping theres someone more...

I thought this was landy zone not the twilight zone!

I'd prefer to pay 3500 max but just thinking it's likely to be a false economy. Going to take time finding the right one, every time I see someone drivin about in one I'm jealous as hell but no point ending up with a bucket

Whoa who whoa, nobody mentioned a dark side! :eek:

Definitely agree re chassis, looking at seller with 5 Defenders on his books, two reference the great chassis etc, the others ominously lacking any mention of chassis but emphasising the tidy interior :rolleyes:

Thanks both. Buyers guide is just what I needed, not sure I'd have thought to squeeze the sills!

Hi all I'm new to the forum and landy's so hoping you can help. I'm looking at getting a defender but don't know how realistic my budget is or what spec to keep an eye out for. It needs to be a 90 as a 110 would get wedged on our drive. Using it on road mainly, 8miles round trip to work...

Thanks all :)

Hi all I don't have a landy yet but planning to get a defender in the next 6mths. Hoping to get an idea of what pitfalls to look out for :scratching_chin:
