Then you will love the Defender. From the list of parts above i would be confident it's a good one and you're not really taking a risk as it is one of the most popular vehicles on the planet. Stop faffing about and get it bought. ! (would still offer him 17k though)

This is the big question, personally I love them and have owned 5 but pulled away from them due to how often they get stolen coupled with the now silly values hence now running a D2 again. They are not everyone's cup of tea and if you find out you don't like then it could be a very short term...

It's immaterial, the value will always alter after you have bought it anyway. It may go up it may go down, there is no way of knowing without a crystal ball. The market is very strong at the moment and there is also always the possibility if you snooze you'll lose! Have you tried haggling with...

You are answering your own question. I agree it may be worth paying more for a vehicle you know has had the work done.

Not if it has had a full EGR removal.

Not necessarily , my spigot bearing is noisy...sometimes. It can also be quiet for days on end and then decide to be noisy for a while before going quiet again.

I can second all the above comments , D2 are a great vehicle but you will miss the Defender experience and realistically you are not going to get much more room in a D2 than your 90, they are bigger on the outside but much of the inside is taken up with trim panels etc. A 110 will give you much...

Check your engine number stamped on the left hand side of the block below the exhaust manifold, it will start with 10P, 15P or even possible even 16 or 18

'Waist seals' not 'top seals' are what you are looking for.

Standard tyre size?

Are they 6.5 mm? easily done with just a pair of bull nose plyers to open up the end clamps and reclose them...

Surely none of this applies to a 200tdi disco?

Personally I would be a little wary about a new (2021) company only offering a mobile no. as contact phone number , with no land line or company address. https://www.sussexdefenders.co.uk/

And oh how they larrrrrfed!!!! o_O:D;)

KINELL! :eek:

Thanks for updating.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I've served my time thank you very much!

Yes you are correct. keeping a Series 1 is totally impractical for your new needs but luckily for you I'm happy to consider a straight swap for my D2 TD5 which has all the luxuries and practicalities of keeping a GF happy and baby safe!
