    Sorry Brian, 200Tdi Defenders with drum brake rear, up to early 1993, had the AEU2522 CVs etc like the County, infact were just Counties underneath without the real engine and gearbox

    Any 200Tdi Def with factory disc rear had the Defender Cv's and TR brg upper and lower swivel housings, vented front discs etc. Easy to pick by the thinner drive flanges and smaller rubber axle end caps.

    If there was a County rust free and with original 120000 km like my Defender 1995, then I would vote for the County.
    I cannot find one County on that conditions, so my Defe is the best option.

    I own, or have owned, County 4.2V8 Stroker, County 3.9 Turbo Isuzu, Td5 Defender 110 Extreme and 300Tdi VNT 130.

    My favorite, by far, is the Turbo Isuzu County.........easily the most pleasant and enjoyable to drive out of that lot. And believe it or not, it's the quietest of all of them too.

    Cheers, Murray
