hokay, I'm a newby and not at all in the know about landys so go easy, but I'm looking to get a LR 90. What kind of state 200tdi am I likely to get for say £3000 ish? Will I need to go mare to get a decent one? [&:]

any help would be cool

For £3k in the UK, if you can find a 300Tdi it will be an absolute shed. Early 200's can be had in reasonable nick for that sort of money, but they'll still need a little TLC.

I bought a 1993 L plate 200Tdi (one of the last) for £3k in November of last year and I've spent about £1,200 on it since to bring it up to a decent standard - New front brakes (calipers, discs, hoses and pads), new rear crossmember, steering drop arm, replaced the damaged front spots and fitted a steering guard.

Have you had a defender before and do you know what you're looking for when buying one? If not, then either do a LOT of research before you buy and check all the 'usual suspects' before buying or take along someone who knows what they're doing with a Land Rover.

Let me know if you need more pointers on what to look for,

Cheers,
