Hi Wenty321,
Its been a while since I had a 200tdi - nearly 10 years. The one I bought was a bit of a lemon and I soon upgraded to a 300tdi.
The 200 had all the usual landrover faults. A rusty boot floor, rusty rear end of chassis, rusty sills, the lot. It was a brilliant off-roader but on-road it was somewhat lacking in on road abilities.
I'd be very aware buying one now that its a 20+ year old car and likely to have all sorts of issues. On the plus side its probably the cheapest way to buy a landrover. If you've got the knowhow to deal with the problems as they occur then go for it. If however you're going to be relying on taking it to the garage when things go wrong, i'd steer clear.
