Fair price

[Snake2093]

Hi all,
I have just inspected a 99 Defender wagon. Body in great condition, just a couple of minor fixits.
My question is it seems to have a oil leak from the tranfer case and 1 from the rear drivers side of engine. It was hard to see where it was exactly coming from. Are these oil leaks major work to fix.
Also air-con has packed it in. Has been re-gassed and hoses replaced recently but still isnt working. What would be a fair price to have replaced in the worst case situation.
They are asking $20500 for it. It has 171000kms on the clock.
Any advice would be great.

Mark..

i'm guessing its a td5 being 99 model.....if its a 300tdi than the oil leak would be the vacumm pump..maybe

Thanks Weeds. It is a TD5 sorry.

Took the gamble with the slight oil leaks. Got the Defender for $18500. Pick it up tomorrow. Finally got my dream 4wd.....:D

Are you sure the leak from the rear drivers side of the engine is an oil leak? A common problem with a Td5 of that age is a fuel leak from the Fuel pressure regulator - might be worth checking.

Do the oil pump bolt before you do anything else.

Nice looking Defender - you bought well.

looks great mate

Looks good mate :)

Another thing to check with an early Td5 is whether it still has the plastic head dowels or not. If its had a head gasket done I imagine these would have been replaced with the steel versions

My brother got caught out there and was up for a new head as a result

I'm well impressed - I reckon your truck would look just perfect with some silver checker wing tops added. :)

Very good looking defender! I wanted one like that one, but needed a ute. Well done!!!

I wish I could give you some advice on the transfer case leak, but I am not sure! Mine is leaking a liitle bit, havent had the chance to look at it.

Was thinking about it. I need to get a few other things first....Spot lights, dual battery system, undercar protection...Just to name few...
