landy advise please

[extreme-4x4]

been offered a disco 200tdi L reg

scruffy no test or tax.... but a good runner and mot'able i guess
but always going to be scruffy


do do i break it and sell the bits or get a dead defender 90 and make a nice truck

how much of the disco will fit a defender


any other advise please:bow:bow:bow

[zippy656]

could PM tezzer hes a landy man..

[Terranosaurus]

All the running gear from a disco will go into a defender but the turbo set up on a 200TDi disco is different from a 200Tdi 90. So you either need to get all the bits from a dead 90 or there are conversion kits - its mainly the exhaust I think but there may be other bits that are different too.

[extreme-4x4]

been offered in the last 10 mins 2 defender 90's one is a comp tray back no engine or running gear 600

or standard 90 as above 400

are there any issues with tray backs ie chassis modified , its got mot and tax but seems odd to break it , unless they are tightening down on them

[Terranosaurus]

If the chassis has been modified or shortened etc then it will need to go through an IVA if it hasn't already been through an SVA. Just changing the body type on top is fine its when people start cutting the chassis that DVLA get all twitchy.

i was offered double my money for it before i collect it, today .the right option is to sell it and find another bargain. but i spoke to the landy people too and i always wanted a defender. with this its in reach ...well im half way

:nono :eek: Green Oval :eek: :nono

:nenau Please tell me your keeping the Mav/Terrano :nenau

[Terranosaurus]

Take 1 defender and to it add 1 nissan 2.7TDI engine - would need custom props making up and you'd no doubt need uprated driveshafts pretty soon on but would be damn good off roader - or better still add a sprinkling of troll in the form of engine, box and axles - awesome.

[extreme-4x4]

so you recon sell it on then, (putting the green oval jokes aside for now)

i dont know, i love the defender, looks, practicality, maintenance and parts availability

with the 200tdi and a defender body and chassis i could have one for 550.00 and reasonable nick. ok it will be standard but i got a good off roader that will kick its ass off road anyway.

but id have a nice defender 90 for the family truck and school run and it will be easy to keep and maintain and keep its value if not go up in value

free motoring basicly

i picked this up for a steal be a shame to waste the opportunity


what bhp is the 200tdi

what are they like for tugging etc

That would be awesome :naughty

You seem to dislike the same part of the green oval as me...the engine :nenau

Always liked the basic look 90 & good standard clearance but just hate landy engines :rolleyes:

Nah - its not just the engines I dislike - its the gearboxes and axles too - why do they make em out of cheese - (says the man with a broken driveshaft).

:eek: Ya been playing with Colin :augie :lol

How did ya do it then :naughty :confused:

I cant comment on the Landys running gear but just dont like the engines through what me dads mates have said about them...

[Terranosaurus]

Broke it three weeks back at Sibbertoft - just span a front wel scrabbling up a steep bank and it went bang - it really really went bang they heard it in the campsite. All still driving though so I had a look worked out what was wrong and went back to playing.

not even got it home yet or paid for it but , its mine. a trader friend see


hope to get it home tomorrow and have a look at this nice defender body from down the road. probably wont do much to it for a couple of weeks (im skint) if at all . im still not sure what to do with it
the engines alone reach 500.00 if seen running

plus the gearbox transfer box axles etc. i got it for scrap weight value. so either way im laughing

if i break it i could just buy a defender as standard

or there are other options but tell you bout them 121;)

always fancied bob tailing a disco, make a far more comfortable truck than a 90
ever will. ok sva issues but can be done right.

that said not too difficult to get em up on 35s, even more then departure angle
close to a bob even with standard body.

a lot depends on its condition i guess.... it looked like it spent some time in a tesco car park at brixton or iraq dent wise . it ran well though
even had some makeitfit dents on the top:D
just have to wait and see

which brings me to my favorite saying

life is like a box of chocolates........................................ ....:thumbs
