If it's a 2011 with a six speed gearbox why is the engine size given as 2.5?

I'd be more concerned with the service history being "partial" given the k's

A partial service history! Wonder what is meant by that? Do they mean there's no dealer servicing been done after the warranty ran out, or that the owner just checks the oil and kicks the tyres?
If it means no certifiable dealer service I suspect many Defenders are exactly the same, mine included. But if anyone thinks just because a dealer has stamped the book it's had good service, they should think again from my experience.
No dealer has touched mine since the warranty period but has had oils and filters changed at half the intervals specified by LR. This is one of the reasons I want a buyer to come round and talk to me direct not someone from interstate relying on a bloody RAC report or similar who generally know nothing about Defenders. Personally looking and talking is some guarantee you'll get what you pay for.
Had a bloke come round today and off we went for a drive. He was over and under it saying nice things about it and reckons he loves it then says but has to wait for his wife to return from Japan...... no money changed hands so I'm not relying on him.

Just checked carsales again to see if mine is over priced but looking at some of these advs. I reckon it's under priced if anything. I'll give it until we go away in about 4 weeks time then take it off and do like the Cook says and make it our main off road vehicle again.
Save the D4 for shopping trolley duties........

PS. Apparently 92 people are watching my adv. Let's hope they've got more brains than some of the drongos on gumnutters.......
