Looking for something no more than around £4k a bit like this would be ideal

Cheers Smarticus, I was surprised has to how few are about. It maybe a case of buying a 90 and starting myself, I'm not in a big rush so will just bide my time and see what comes up over the next couple of months.

Have you posted the same question on the Def2 site and D3? They might also be able to add some value to the discussion |

Slippery slope that one Steve. Can work out very expensive. A typical shopping list is as follows: Decent base vehicle (300tdi) - £5,000 Set of big tyres and wheels - £600 Set of rock slider sills - £180 Steering guard - £100 Diff guards - £80 Recovery ropes - £40 Raised air intake - £150 Hi Lift Jack - £75 Front winch and bumper - £1,250 Upgraded battery - £125 Set of strops, shackles, snatch block - £100 Roll cage and fitting - £2,250 You will very quickly get to £10,000 before you even think about diff locks, rear winch, upgrade inter cooler, GPS, CB, electric fans. And this all assumes you have the time, tools and appetite for fitting the above yourself. And then the cost of keeping it all working, entering events, staying away at weekends, adding lots more toys to the shopping list........ And then the chassis starts to fall apart and you need to start again (or sell to a chap in Prague) ![]() Disco 4 TDv6 HSE Ipanema Defender 90, 200tdi CSW |
