Hi there

Have read Redbook and scoured car sales

I may have an opportunity to purcahse an 02 , 110 Extreme with 50,000kms on it.

It has LR tanks , 40 Ch UHF , Outback drawers system , a second spare , is only a 5 seat , has all the usual Extreme extras.

Redbook has them at 120,000km worth $ 19500

In one way the low kms are good but in another not so good because all the usual TD5 probs will not have surfaced and been repaired yet ; Fuel block split , radiator , Turbo mod valve , harmonic balancer falling apart , Top radiator hose plastic fitting prob , exhaust manifold probs , turbo inlet hose etc.

So how do you interpolate the Redbook data at 120,00km?

Or what do you think is a fair price for both of us. I don't want to offend with a silly offer.

Sounds reasonable to me.

I would have expected to pay more........ $23K - $25K

Not sure where you are getting your info on problems from.

Fuel block isn't necessarily an issue. Mine has done 110k now and never had an issue

Radiator - Not sure what you mean

turbo mod valve - as above? on a Defender?

Harmonic balancer - very rare. I would say no more likely than any other car on the road that has one.

Top hose plastic fitting - are you talking about the bleed screw. Ive never broken one and its about 1$ if you do.

Exhasut manifold - That is more common but again not for everyone. mine has never warped.

Delamination of intercooler hoses - could happen to anything. not especially common anyway.

The one thing that you more likely than anything will need to do at some point is the injector loom under the rocker cover. About $160 from LR.

As for the price, I would be suprised if you can get it for the book price or under. Maybe $22-25k

Ditto the above.

They aint that bad.

Sounds like a good vehicle with all that gear on it. It would be a real bargain for less than 25k.
Seems like you only hear about the td5 that have problems. Have a look around at the amount of Disco td5s driven by housewifes who dont know anything about them. Sure they probably have more problems than a toyota but they are a Land Rover and at least the accelerator pedal never jams on.

As above less than $25k for a TD5 with only 50.000klm's..that is an awesome price

I saw one in Sydney yesterday ( spit bridge ), grey extreme 110 TD5, no idea how many km's but it looked like it had never gone further off road than the kerb, $16k, damn fine price i thought...

Thanks for the quick responses

The TD 5 issues I mention are just what has been done to my 04 Disco TD5 over the last 3.5 years between 40,00kms and 158,00kms , the radiator being the most recent. Maybe doesn't apply to Fenders. The D2 has done a fair bit of off road work and does around 35,00kms a year in total , on/off road , as will the Fender. Vic mountains , Wonnangatta , Central Oz etc.
The fuel inj block was more a diesel smell than a mech prob. Maybe Fenders don't have the turbo modulator valve , the D2 is an auto
The seller is starting at approx $30k negot . I was thinking somewhere between $ 20k and $ 30k so $ 25 sounds about right.
Spit bridge one for $16k

Sounds like what was offerred as a trade in.

Any more info please

Sydney inspect is a bit of a problem but can be overcome.

Thanks again

i paid 27k for a very good but standard (apart from LR tank and visor) 2002 xtreme with 110k on it. Over value yes... but few and far between over here... and was very well looked after... i have had the fuel pressure regulator go on the disco (couple of hundred bucks) plus the injector harness and modulator.. so far all small $$ issues.. doesnt put me off...

Defenders dont have the modulator, fuel press regulator can go or wont go... just down to luck and is still not far off the cost of a service item...

dont forget the oil pump bolt... apparently fixed.. but my 2002 disco wasnt so i got the deffer checked too...

most of the things you mention really are service type items.. as they are all lowish value things... that eventually wear and get replaced anyway...

if you can get it for the money... then you would be a fool not to!

dont forget the rules too.... if you buy it...

I know ... Pics

Not intending to bag out the Fenders.

just trying to identify risks in ownership.

I am after all thinking of going from an 04 D2 Classic to an 02 Fender

X-Treme just becauie I like the off road capability and look of the trad shape.

I have had a few series vehicles.
