Yeah it's a '97 R 300tdi. 120k miles with FSH, and the rest of it is fairly tidy. It has a few small jobs I want to do to it, but none of them need doing. The chassis is good, the bulkhead is spotless, the engine is sweet. It's been well looked after.
Ghost, your Y reg must be a Td5? I wouldn't give you a tenner for any electronic landy. I don't mean to sound rude but I just don't like the idea of a computer running a vehicle that needs to put up with a rough life. The fact that the export market and military refuse to have it sends me the wrong signals I'm afraid. I wanted a 300Tdi, so I had to pay for it because a lot of them were selling before I got to see them at that price. I assumed it must be reasonable if I was missing them regularly. We do spend a little more around here than you guys up north, don't know why?? We're either richer or more stupid, not sure which!
I got a set of 5 Wolf rims and some Goodyear tyres thrown in, a service, new tailgate straps, they fixed an oil leak for me and done a basic health check. I bought it from a dealer, but sold as seen for cash to get some money off (so I thought!)
thats a brave comment from someone who just brought a ****ed landy for too much money.just you wait,first the engine head then the fuel system then the lights then......
What's a brave comment? Saying it's in good condition? You don't have to tell me the things that can (and will) go wrong with them - it's a Land Rover, commonly known as the most unreliable vehicle ever built. What I like about it is I can fix it, unlike a Td5 or later model which would have to go away to somewhere expensive for its regular repairs!
I forgot to say in my first post, it's a HCPU. They're like rocking horse turd, or at least have been since I started searching for one! If it was a van body I wouldn't have paid what I did, they're easy to come by.
