[Wanted] Defender 90

Hi - newbie in town. Midlife crisis /empty nest syndrome 50+ male desperately seeking defender 90 as second fun car. No prior experience. To be used on road. Have 4 kids at university and therefore limited budget. Lives in Northern Ireland but willing to travel to meet ideal partner. Have been browsing local ads / gumtree / eBay but to be honest don't really have the confidence to know what I`m buying. So - any recommendations of places / dealers in my neck of the woods. Absolute max budget £10000·

You should get a nice 90 TD5 for that sort of money. Ideally go for a late model say 2005/06. Make sure you inspect or have it inspected thoroughly as there are a lot of tarted up vehicle out there. Main things to check are the chassis and bulkhead and will be good if the vehicle has a good / comprehensive service history. Take your time, there are lots of vehicles for sale so lots to choose from.

Hi Defender 9. This is part of my problem. The AA / RAC don't do vehicle checks over here so getting one checked is a bit of a problem. Found an independent landrover specialist called beyond performance who might do an independent check. Does anyone over here know anything about them ? Also ........ and this might be a bit of a sacrilege to experts but .... any thoughts on doing an lpg conversion ?

Hi, you won't get a late td5 for your budget, probably better to look for a nice solid tdi model from 91-98. Easier to work on, no electronic controls, just check for rust rust rust, chassis and the bulkhead that the dash and wings connect to. Don't bother with lpgon a diesel. Probably better popping over the water and taking one back, more choice and better prices?... Best to buy on condition not age..

Good luck and have fun looking!!..

If its just a 2nd car and you don't actually NEED it, it is probably not the best time to buy. Prices are still inflated due to the production ceasing, and in addition prices always creep up heading into winter.

If you can wait, you may get more for your money next April onwards...
