might be a 200 at that age (mid 94 was change point), makes no difference still a top machine.
 
Don't think the MOD had 200TDis. They stuck with the old 2.5 when it (200TDi) was introduced on the civvy market and went straight to the 300 when that came out. I THINK


(therefore I'm spam)

Anyroadup: sounds like a reasonable thing to buy.
 
Well, the general opinion is that N/A stands for "Naturally Asthmatic"
They're still better than the old 2.25 jobbies though. Best you take it for a spin and see for yourself.

Be wary of ex-Marines LRs. They like to drive 'em through the sea. All that salt-water tends to munch away at the vital bits.
Apart from that, military Rovers are generally well looked after (you don't want 'em to start playing-up just at the moment when some nasty man starts shooting at you).
 
after 22 years in the army i wudnt go anywhere near anything thats been driven by some of the squaddies i knew.. but the old spannermonkeys werent too bad at keepin them goin.... the only problem now is gettin ones from conflict zones where they have been well and truly hammerdd..... take yer chance
 
For long enough the MoD Landies had far better chassis than mere plebs got, thicker metal I think, and they were properly treated against rot by immersion in a huge tank of hot black treacley goo stuff.

I saw them doing a batch at the Carbodies factory a while back.
 
Check the forum today for adjusting the timing.

A 2.5 N/A can be quite perky if you get the timing spot on.

Remember, ALL engines from factories dealers and so on are just set to the standard marks. ALL of them WILL run a lot better if each of them is timed exactly right for THAT engine, and they will all be different.

You have the time to do this, and you care. Dealers don't.

That's a fact.

Yes sure, and pretty much to any diesel engine with a proper injection pump.

There is no better way to get the timing set spot-on for THAT engine.

Go for it, but do remember to scribe marks across the flanges FIRST, so if the pump slips or you make a boo-boo, you can start again.
