    First purchase fears

    Not sure what your budget is, but i'm planning on buying a 90 fairly soon - within the month, depending on money - there is a seller on eBay I have been looking at, he sells loads of 90s & 110s and from the pictures (yeah, I know judging book by its cover) they seem in decent order. HERE is his...

    Advice please - Defender 90 - Henley area

    Is there that much difference between the 200tdi and 300tdi? From what i've heard there's not much in them. I will have a budget of 3.5k and after looking through eBay it seems i'll be lucky to get a 200tdi for that (saw a TD with not many extras a couple of weeks ago, the bloke was after 4k for...

    I'll have a nice fun day/evening repainting mine when I eventually get one - you need to change your avatar btw, the colours are all wrong now :)

    Colour decision time, cant decide

    Brushes? like standard paint brushes? That looks like a fantastic finish for brushes, well done. I'll be buying a Defendersoon enough, but none of them come in the correct colour (for me) and was thinking of taking it for a proffesional re-spray, but if you can get a finish like that with...

    What will £3500 get me?

    It cost you £815? (or there abouts) Its good to know I will be able to get a decent Defender for the money I have to spend, just need to resist the temptation to buy he first one I see and make sure I (or someone) checks it out.

    What will £3500 get me?

    The chap whos selling on eBay is local to me ('bout 5 mile away) so when I have the cash i'll be giving him a bell and organising a meeting so I can have a look at what hes got - these are all the things he is selling there seems to be a decent selection.

    What will £3500 get me?

    I've seen a few 200 TDi's on eBay, about my price range but I was detered my highish milage (90,000 - 110,000), so if thats not much of a problem I should be sorted. A while ago I was directed to one of Grunts threads, Buying a second hand 90 so I have a fair idea of what to look for. Im...

    What will £3500 get me?

    Hi there, I will be after buying myself a Defender (after a 90) and my budget will be £3500 (can't afford any more, already budgeted for insurance, tax, et al.) So what will I be able to buy for £3500? Things like age, model, mileage, ect. I did a few searches but nothing came up. Thanks very...

    Defender 90 as a first vehicle?

    Thats excellent - just what I wanted to hear, thanks everyone. I'll be getting a loan to buy one, so I might as well get a loan for 3K instead of 2K :) Thanks for that link Grunt, I had read it once but couldn't find it again - ideally i'd like a CSW, just need to keep an eye out, anyone...

    Defender 90 as a first vehicle?

    Evening all, this is my first post so be gentle. I will be after my first car very soon and i'm thinking of buying a Defender 90 (instead of the usual Punto/Fiesta) I don't know why I want one, I just do. I have done a lot of searching and reading of this forum and found answer to a few...
