Kev..

I'd be querying the model of that one.
Ad says 2000 Td5 but body markings indicate a Tdi which would be pre 1999

If you enlarge the fourth pic the front guard has TD5 on it I would say the owner put the defender sticker on it.

Looks like a good buy for the price but like anything get I checked by a landy mechanic before purchase.

Goodluck with your quest for a defender and I think all 110's,130's and 90's are great vehicles and we love our 300tdi defender.

In my opinion and ive only had two Defenders first a 300Tdi (slug) and now a Td5 (rocket ship) , I love the Td5 it is worlds apart from the Tdi in engine refinement and perfomance
In saying that there are the dinosaurs on here that say the old fashioned Diesels are the way to go due to simplicity(none electronics), But come on they own computers dont they because they are on here , Or we would still be waiting for their snail mail to come in

Its not a dig at them who like their dinosaur diesels they have a place in the world still i guess

But honesty how much of our lives are controlled by electronics these days and half the time we dont even know it

I have done over 40 thousand ks with my Td5 Defender hassle free and still loving it

I have done over 400,000km with my Isuzu 110 largely hassle free (as far as the engine is concerned, starter, alternator, three thermostats, crankshaft seal). Still loving it.

And i should have said ive added 40,000 ks now reading 147,000 ks yes its still a baby , Yes the simplicity of the isuzu truck motor will keep going except for the ear drums the rivets and bolts and rover gearbox,s that rattle apart , Yes truck motors are built for durability and reliability but they come at a cost , The isuzu motor has a high chance of out living your county for reliability

I remember seeing a isuzu county driver years ago wearing ear muffs while he was driving , When i caught up with him down the road i asked why the ear muffs ,

Mmmm its already been said (the noise man from the motor)

20k that will get you a good vehicle i reckon a defender 110 about a 1996 model they are pretty good i heard they were the best out of all of them.....oh it has to be a white wagon.......ill stop playing the trumpet now
