WTB: 2/300tdi or Td5, Overland prep a bonus.
 

Looking for either a really nice base vehicle or something already prepped for expedition/overland.
Must really be a Defender unless it's something special.
Money here for the right vehicle.

TD5 is, IMHO a terrible engine with more built infaults and age related failures than you would believe.Too many electronics and landrover and electronics are 2 words that should never appear in the same sentance

If it has to be landrover, 300tdi all the way

Hi Moggy,
Thanks for the advice, I actually placed a deposit on a Td5 yesterday!
I have to be honest with myself, and as this is my first 'overland' type vehicle, a lot/most of the trips I'll be doing initially will be 90% 'on road' I'd guess.
If I get a taste for it and become more adventurous and the Td5 really is unreliable then I'll purchase a 2 or 300tdi I guess bier
