Difference bewteen a 90 & Defender?

<< < (2/6) > >>

Staffy:
So there is not much difference between them in the way they drive or the suspension etc..

Is one easier to mod than the other ie. spares availability and modified components?

Thanks
Phil

The chassis suspension and bodies are the same modding 1 is eaxactly the same whether 90 or defender. The defender was renamed to coincide with the introduction of the 200tdi  which came out in 1990 before that apart from the 2.5n/a and the v8 there was also a 2.5turbo diesel. They were 1st produced in 1983 with 2.25 petrol or diesel engines & sliding windows but these were changed in 84 to winding windows. and the 2.5 N/A diesel, and 2.5 petrol engines

nah, theres no difference, and the parts are all the same anyway :) ideally, you want a 200tdi, but if you buy an older one with a 2.5na engine, you can swap the engine to a 200tdi with relative ease.

theyre basically the same vehicles
