Ashoofaack, Taggy, Marcus ...THANK YOU!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D those are the post i was hoping for and will be showing me dad (persuasion tactics). Me mate's giving me a shed loada stick for this ("land rovers are s*** what dya want onea them for!") but i just dont care. I WANT ONE. Simple as that...

Hi are there any SIII owners in the north east particularly in the Durham area?? Cheers Jonathon

Well ive said it before and i'll say it again, thank you everyone. I really have got a my heart set on this and ive managed to persuade me mum to at least keep an open mind, in fact she was bordering on being interested last night:D:D only me dad to work on now (may take more as i may have to...

Thanks everbody, this is part of the appeal of LR's the commaradery and the willingness people have to help each other!!:D:D:D Tookey i am goin to heed your advice, and will hopefully have more money later next year than i do now, and take a little longer to look. I am prepared to wait up until...

oh and is ther anyone in the newcastle area or oldham area with a SIII so i cud wrk out whether i do actually want one cz ma hearts pretty much set at the mo cheers J

thats what i was thinking but when i was looking earlier today i couldnt find anything cheaper than 2K so any suggestions anyone cheers Jonathon

Thanks very much tookey are u looking along the series line or want something a little younger. I mite try that actually, see if i can find someone nr me (am in t north east peeps nr durham/newcastle if u hv a series III i cud sit in:p) thers also the insurance issue. I've bn looking at quotes...

hmm well i can cope w the cold (i hope) and the steering well can you put power assised on it or is it not possible/ not really worth it. I really want this to be a daily so am prepared for colds n knackered arms cheers Jonathon

well spydy would not being a weakling help the lack of power steering (or can u fit power steering) and also wouldn't i be able to add a heater in for winter. So ormus u find me a 200tdi disco for 1000 - 1500;) and sypydy is it a practical (laughs) everyday runabout or shud i jus think again...

As Slob already advised me on getting a SIII as a first LR (and car incidentally) over a 90 I would like to know what they are like as a daily runabout town etc i.e. to live with in the real world. Oh and if the £1000 - £1500 are any good as this will proabably be the current budget Cheers...

Thanks slob..me thinks i better frequent the series forum more than t defender one i spend most of my life in at the moment. did you do the lake district greenlaning weekend??. Oh and av just thought to look at wot u drive an you would encourage me to get a series III wouldnt you;) so wot else...

so wot ya saying slob.... series III or 90?? bearin in mind insurance i think i'll hv to go down the series line...your opinion on the matter?? cheers Jonathon:)

Ive seen that the 2.5 NA are cheaper (am looking at 90's) but Nic really does appreciate the 2.5 td in his 90. I'm only 16 and was looking for just a cheap little runabout when i turn 17 march next yr but i really really like the land rover. I'm prepared to compromise and wait until i have a...

Hi again, I'm only 16:mad: so am not sure how my mother would take me buggerin off with, to a large extent, a stranger to drink n sleep in the lakes for a weeked - perhaps next year I can persuade Nic (hint hint if ur readin this;)) to come along or maybe, because I'll have my own car (not...

Hi its the Jonathon of the duo - is this an annual event because I would like to come along in several years time when I plan on getting my first Landy:D:D:D. (hopefully a 90SW) So save a space in a few yrs- a love the whole convoy idea :p cheers, Jonathon
