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.

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

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
