Can't be a 2006 if its 03MY.... or vice versa....
And I definitely wouldnt pay a 2006 price for a 2003 manufacture......
what he said.
Actually the MY refers to the model version. The last TD5 version they released was the MY03. They did not change the model for 2004, 5 or 6. So a 2006 built MY03 is correct.
( For example I bought a My09 Defender on the 24th December 2008, the MY changes usually in July of the previous year or there abouts)
My personal experience with my MY03 model Defender that I bought in 2003, is that at around 70,000 k's the axle flanges on the rear axle had to be replaced to fix a clonk. (and again at 140,000!). Mine also had the oil in the wiring loom at about the same time. That was all done under warranty the first time. I seem to recall I had to also pay (wear and tear I think) for replacing the front discs too at around that time... But apart from that once I got over the initial teething problems it had little major issues until I hit around 140-160k's, then I had to replace the radiator, viscous fan, wiring loom again, AFM, and a few other bits and bobs. ~7k in various repais in a year. But really all in all not to bad really.
So, what you are saying is that you actually have an 07MY Defender.Quote:
