Thread: 1999 deefer 110 td5 ... personal opinions?

Thanks steve.
Is it for sale at the same place you looked at it 3 months ago or has it changed hands?
Is there a way of telling if they carried out the work to fix the problem??
Im might head up there tomorrow night.
Thanks

yeah its back at the same place...

im hoping they fixed the head as it was parked up out the back for a few days and then dissappeared. but it was september so would be surprised if they took so long to do the head.

Not sure if you could tell, as the head was very very clean (probably from where it had been apparently welded up, i spoke to the guy that used to service it and he said the head had been temporarily fixed by welding in karratha, however i called everyone that could of done that and nobody had heard of it)

i guess the only way is front up to him and ask him if he has replaced it cause you are aware of the history. Im pretty sure he wont give you a straight answer tho. When i dipped my fingers in the sludge in the tank both the sales guys went inside and didnt come back out until i had gone.

Im sure someone else would be able to say.. maybe if he says yes ask where and get to see the receipts.. oh and get a warranty

let me know how it goes... if it is fixed it would be a very good buy... i think! too late for me tho as i have my nice shiney blue defender to play with now!

Steve

I spoke to the dealer and he said that the sold it a traded it back since september! You were spot on about it having problems..
He said they have just spent a lot of $$ on it. He gave the details of were the work wa carried out... spoke to them and even they said it was a lemon.
Will have to keep waiting for another one i guess!!
Thanks
