Hi and thanks to Both of you for helping me Loz and Laurie!
Im not sure if Laurie from Lz will get this through hotmail since I didnt see an address for Laurie so i send it through Lz's site.
I am down in Rio de janeiro Brasil every three to four months and the condition of the defenders here is quite good. I am planning to make a purchase down here and then shipping it to Canada a couple years after. This part Im sure will not be easy either. First it will have to be 15yrs old before i can bring it up, im looking at around a 2000/2001 model, and who knows what other issues i might encounter.
Im glad to hear there is very little electronics in the engine, sure saves for a lot of headaches, but i see that i will have to really stay on top of the rust issues when in canada! The one problem i have with buying a used vehicle is that i dont trust most dealers down here. Is it easy to roll back the odometer on these trucks and is there tell tale signs to this kind of tampering?
Appreciate your taking the time to respond
cheers
