Main difference is the interior. If your not bothered about it being old fashioned and possibly an odd colour like blue then no worry.
Advice please.

Thanks, I'm not fussed about colour and I like the old fashioned look so if there is no other differences then all good

The 200tdi engine is allegedly a little less refined than the 300 which is saying something [emoji6]

LOL!!
I have been told that the only issue with the 200TDi is parts availability. It is, apparently not much of a problem yet, but may become one. I would have thought that enough were made to get more or less anything from a scrapyard..
The 300, however, was made in enormous numbers - still made in fact for use by the military who don't want electronics (!!) - so parts availability is likely to be very good for many years. Similar story for the gearboxes.
I have worked on both, and don't really have a preference. I have a D1 300 because I prefer the facelift front!
Thanks again people! Been to see the 200tdi today and it's not bad. Not a smooth or quite drive but still a good runner. A few rust spots on inside of doors but all major rust areas are clean or have been re-welded. Got 10 months MOT left and has a lot of service history receipts. Think its going to be one of best disco's I will find in my price range but still want it a little cheaper.
