Where are you looking? I've spent the day looking at 300tdi's and most are between 1800 and 2.5k, not great examples either. I know diesel has a premium but prices do seem to vary depending on where you are in the country.

I just paid £600 for a '96 (N) 3.9Efi V8 with 100 Ltr LPG. Was a none runner for all of about an hour and half! Anyway it was cheap as it was a none runner and the two fools had been fiddling for months trying to get it sorted without any luck. Anyway it was cheap and a none runner but it has already on it, 2" Lift Kit with new springs, QT Steering Guard, QT Diff Guards Sump Guard, Safari Snorkel, Rock Sliders, a half decent set of Khumo something or other tyres on Modular wheels. Plus is an ES leccy seats/windows/sunroof and the sunroof dont leak which amazed me! And to top it all off its got a Genuine 87,000 miles on it. As soon as I got it running I was happy with the sound of it as its dead quiet. Thats all the good things, there are a few bad points, rust on rear arches needs sorting, no airbox, the fuel lines had been cut before the filter and just coupled to some rubber hose so no filter currently, Gas tank has a small leak on it, and like I said it wasnt running. All in all a steal so keep looking mate as they are out there.

Taxed and MOT for 8 months, timing was about 2 teeth out on the the camshaft so theyd never have got it running properly,**** dizzy cap and **** rotor arm,wrong routing of leads, also no fuel getting to the plenum where they had done away with the fuel filter they had squashed the hose so tight with the jubilee clip that the actual plastic from the pump had been crushed causing a massive restriction in flow. Sorted that and the timing and it fired 1st time. I got lucky with buying from a fool. As for it costing more money in the future dont all Landys drain the wallet? Especially V8's but then at least its a V8!!

I guess if I broke the car there is probably a grand worth of Parts on it so I doubt im gonana lose out, plus I have a complete other V8 in spares so bits arent a problem. I did post another thread in the discovery section entitled "Bought a none runner"
