90sam:
Hey,
Well i thought i would return to the forum after selling my discovery,
I have about £1500 and would like to buy an 90.. What would i get for the money? I saw one with an old turbodiesel engine in for £1000 Would this be a good buy it has lots of off roady stuff, but i heard the engines are pretty bad?!? Im 16 so would only need it for off roading untill im 17 then i could maybe stick a tdi in it?
Can anyone advise me what i could get for my money!
Kind regards
Sam

electricbluebadger:
Buy the best chassis you can......not a lot else matters..if you want a few ideas check out my site and the build/rebuild/rebuild of my 90, TD to start, then fitted an NA diesel and finally now a TDI... any questions ping me an email..


Cheers Steve

Lawnmower:
Turbo diesals are all right! can still get to 70mph plus, though a bit noisy.

There not as rapid as later engines, but a good entry engine.

dimple:
solid chasis and bulkhead are your main issue, you can still get a good deal on a solid 90, as to TD's mine has done 170,000 i do oil and filter change every 2500 miles and she is still going strong, hope this helps

90sam:
Hmmm thats interesting, now i'm not sure which engine to go for, ive seen a lot of td's but thought they were terrible?!?  I notice lawnmower that your 90 is ffor sale, how much may i ask?
Kind Regards
Sam
