Yeah, the response from them was equally useless!

Any for sale down in Bristol?! I went to school down there, and will be down in 2 weeks, so could have a look around!
 
what a clown. aint seen much really. bloke a work just picked up a solid looking 300tdi 90 SW for 3.3k. its pretty good it is too! other than the expedition prepared V8 posted on here, i dont know any others. that V8 90 is well worth the starting price of 5k i tell yer.

A quick update!
I went along and viewed the one which was a few miles from here, and it was great! So I pulled the triger and collected it tonight!
No rot underneath or on the body (from what I could see anyway, and I did climb and poke around underneath it for ages!).

It drove really well, and the engine sounds really good. The transmission feels good, everything works, no clunking anywhere.

Full service history from new, and the cambelt was changed last August.

Overall, very pleased with it. Drives much better than the other ones I drove.

1996 'N', and I paid 3.5k, so I'm very pleased at the moment because a few weeks ago I didn't think I would get into a 300TDi for my budget.

So no doubt I'll be on here with loads of questions over the next few weeks, hopefully all minor things and nothing major:D

Thanks so much for the advice! Now got my car for life!
 
Glad you got it Zeek, it looks like a well cared for one.
Hope to see you on one of the T*O*S*S*E*R green laning runs soon.
 
It's my first Land Rover, so I was thinking about going to this LR place in Kent and doing the day course in a Defender! Is it worth it? Usually £275 for the full day, but they have offers on, where two people can do it, for £250. Is it worth it? Anyone had a go?

Sounds like it might be fun to push someone elses Defender before mine;)

the mrs got me one of those all day LR experience days a while back up cumbria somewhere - the terrain was a bit tame but it's good fun and would be brill for someone new to LRs - the mrs came with me and she said she learnt heaps - but you'll probably learn as much going out with a few local sof you can find some easy stuff to start with
