Defender TD5 - worth a punt?

Oct 07, 2009 5 Replies

I'm looking at swapping my Disco 300tdi off roader for a Defender 90 TD5, the one in question is a really nice example of a station wagon on a 1999 V Plate and is a good price at £6250. Only concern is that it has done 125k miles and has no service history. The chap selling seems a decent enough bloke and has done bits to it but I'm a little scared that it could be expensive if things go wrong. ISTR the clutch for these is nearly a thousand quid.



Any advice/thoughts??


Should add that when I say clutch I'm referring to the dual mass flywheel too, although not sure if that has to be swapped with the clutch??

dual mass flywheel can be got for around £200(and not guaranteed to be needed) everything else is around same price and time as earlier defender

Thought youhad a D2 already matey?

LOL!!

You'll never keep up knowing what I have on the drive, it's become a bit of a hobby buying and selling these old machines :-)
