Ooh that sounds like an idea and here I was thinking about stripping off the vinyl and painting it black with red and yellow flames down the length like the old hot rods had on their sides-- just a thought I had today whilst doing my domestic chores.Quote:

Boys I hear ya loud and clear!!!:)
I guess the best thing is get in one and take it for a good drive and then see how it suits me or not.
Is it pretty easy to fit 33's ona defender? What other essential modes are needed? I'm after a daily driver, weekend warrior,tourer and fun machine.
If you guys could do it again, how would you do it???
I am also in similar situation rover rob,if you don't mind me asking everyone,is 180-200 k to many k's to be buying a td5 at?I know(and I'm sure I'm upsetting some of the die hards)that I would buy any Toyota or the Nissan 4.2 at this,but are we talking head gaskets and bottom end time?considering of course it has been serviced at least every 10000.thanks heaps
I'd check all the things I mentioned and barter a fair bit harder, but with competition to get one cheap, you may still have to pay more than you want. I had to beat off stiff competition to get mine. If you look at redbook.com.au you will see private sale prices that are way under what you pay in Sydney; maybe they're correct for other states but not NSW.Quote:
