Guess you finally figured it out eh.. you can own any vehicle under the sun, but nothing will ever be as fun to drive as a Land Rover Defender.

Did you mean 19J ? cos i've never heard of a 18J LR engine

I think the isuzu engine your'e referring to would be the 4JB1. Yes it has plenty of power. But it might not be the best bet for the LT77 box as it might wear it out quicker than normal due to the extra power. IMO With some mods an R380 should be better equipped to handle the 4JB1

Do I see the middle row door handles key barrel hole 'un-blanked'. If so get it blanked out or at least put some black silicone to blank it out. Otherwise washing her down will get you plenty of water inside the door frame... Not good.

They are on the High Level (main) road itself. From Nugegoda junction proceed towards Maharagama on the high level road (138 bus route) - You can ask any jhonny on the raod and they will direct u

Its good if the de-merit system works and enforces some discipline on the roads. But if experience is something to go by it will just be another soda-bottle opening ! I'm sure all our members would have noticed the situation where at traffic light stops, some motorists (specially the 2/3 wheel variety) dont stay in line and overtake all the vehicles on the 'wrong side', while the traffic cops turn a blind eye !

I agree, the unmolested and good condition vehicles always command a premium. My 12J price range was based on the fact that a friends 12J ("turboed") Soft Top could not fetch the expected minimum of 2.2 about a year back.

Price would depend on the engine I would think. I reckon the current rates are about 12J 110 - 2.0 to 2.5 Million 19J 110 - Similar to above 200Tdi/300Tdi - 2.5 to 4.0 Million TD5 - 4.0 to 5.0 Million Puma - More than the above !!! There is quite a bit of variation in the prices due to condition/history/accessories etc. As mentioned earlier Parts availability and Expertise are not a concern. Best of luck Go Beyond or One Life Live It ..... your choice

Can someone point me in the direction of a good independent specialist(s) for audi.

Other than the engines which are supposed to be solid, how about the rest of such a 10 yr old car being up to the job and what sort major work might I be faced with ? (assuming I get my paws on a well maintained one)

Finally back on line... :rolleyes: I gather the asking price for 2000 YOM A4,A6 1.9TDI is about 2.6 At this age are these cars beyond their prime, or as RR as mentioned, if well maintained are they good for quite a few more years of service ?

still in the dark ! cant see my posts ! :unsure:
