My new & first Defender!

Hmmm on his other post it was said he had a TDi, guess he may feel a tad peed off with the 19J :lol:

Vanbratsky, the 19J is a good little engine if maintained right, keep the oils topped up right and get a good read up on it.

What a chopper.

My experiance of a 19J...

1990 was the 200tdi.

And your point is? Did you look at the engine photos?

His real name is probably José Manuel Barroso, would explain why he got so upset.

Wrong. Only the later part of 1990 was the Defender name introduced and with it the 200TDi Engine.

Ain't wrong then am I, he got a late 19J and robbed at that price.

From what you said, It sounded like you thought all 1990's were 200TDi's... Which is wrong.

I was saying that it should be but yes they did only start in 1990, but shorley if I was to buy a car and the salesman said if you wait two months you can have a decent engine or if you want it now you can have the **** one! I would of waited?

Depends - maybe, back in 1990, a 2.5TD only cost £12.50 while the new shiny 200Tdi would set you back £19.99. That's a lot of Mars bars you could buy with the difference.

Yeah my 1990 110 was originally a 19j. You also have to remember (sible?) that back then, nobody knew how bad the 19j was going to turn out - there was no way of knowing how badly they would cope after 150,000 miles and 20 years. Back then, there wouldn't have been a lot of difference between a brand new TD and a brand new Tdi, aside from a few bhp and a few mpg.
