Defender buying advice
Hey All,
I've been looking around for a Defender 110 for quite a while now and recently came across one. I had a question about the engine, as I’ve read very mixed reviews about them. The Defender I’m looking at is a 1989 and has the 2.5 turbo diesel. Is this a desirable engine or should I hold off and try to find one with the 200 or 300tdi? I’m just not as familiar with defender engines and pros/cons of them. Thanks for the help!

Nothing against 2.5TD but they are not desirable. Earlier engines are more robust if not anemic, and later engines produce better power, are more reliable, and have more parts available.
It's a normal engine that will work fine, but you should pay a lower price than say a car which has a 200 or 300Tdi.
