[For Sale] 2003 Td5 DCPU - Reduced I have owned this car since Jan 15. Originally intended to be used as a company demo, a new house purchase is likely to force a very reluctant sale to free up some capital. If said capital can be raised quickly enough, it will be kept 2003 Td5 DCPU 118k miles MOT until end April 17. Done only 400 miles since MOT Remote locking and leccy windows Purchased from a business customer of mine, who had it maintained by an LR tech for some cash in hand work, so no service history, though it was maintained regardless of expense In the time I have owned it, I have fitted: Full service carried out, all filters and trans oils New injector loom New Exide battery New 18" Boost alloys + Cooper Zeon LTZ in 285/60R18, with 30mm wheel spacers, including matching spare and Black wheel nuts Alive Tuning Comfort lowering springs Alive uprated rear Anti Roll bar Bilstein B6 shocks all round, and matching steering damper Cat back stainless Steel exhaust, with centre silencer delete Urban Truck front bumper with DRL's, and stainless Steel bolt kit KBX vents Rock sliders Stainless Steel bulkhead flap pins Clear LED Halo headlights Full set of standard size clear front light lenses NAS spec rear lights, with additional fog/reverse light on each side, all fitted with uprated LED bulbs EGR delete Silicone hoses New radiator Double DIN head unit Mountney 340mm steering wheel Rear 1/2shaft and drive member Bad points: Drivers rear door frame needs attention Noisy spigot bush My intention with the car was to build it into a show car, and use as a company demo. As such, it was going to get 4 new Puma doors and a fancy paint job at the same time Roof has been painted black rather poorly. May just be needing flatted back and buffed up. Never found the time to do it, and it was going to be dealt with as part of the respray anyway The car, as I bought it: Click image to enlarge The car as it stands now: Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Reduced to £9,750 as the car stands at the moment.

In my limited experience I can't see why it isn't selling. Maybe your honest review of bad points is putting people off? Maybe get those sorted and it might sell better? Was tempted to say buy Alpacaman's hood for the back might make it look more useable? James MY2012 110 2.2TDCi XS SW Orkney Grey - http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic43410.html MY1990 110 200TDi SW beautifully faded Portofino Red - https://www.defender2.net/forum/post743641.html#743641 MY1984 90 V8 Slate Grey - https://www.defender2.net/forum/post744557.html#744557 Instagram @suffolk_rovers

Doors are a potential pain in the ass, a spigot bearing is engine or 'box out so immediately those are 2 significant barriers to sell. If you don't want to put any more money into the truck then maybe describe the doors in such a way as to indicate more accurately their condition and how long they'll last? That way it isn't an immediate cost for potential purchaser? Maybe the spigot could be described as "noisy"? Personally I would not consider this to have any service history if it is unsupported by any paperwork of any sort. I also don't trust the phrase "maintained regardless of expense" - it's a very grandiose phrase and easily used when there's nothing available to prove ... or otherwise! Obviously since you've owned it, it has been maintained correctly and had some nice upgrades but that is only recent. I think it's a decent, honest truck but I think you're describing it a bit bluntly which may be putting people off.

Disco_Mikey Member Since: 16 Nov 2014 Location: Dundee Posts: 531	Another little bump Going to get a new spigot bush before it's sold. Wouldn't be happy selling it the way it is Passenger doors are not as bad as I remember. Drivers rear door is, and requires repair to the frame If there is still no joy, I'll put a years MOT on it in April, and stick it on eBay. If it sells, it sells. If not, I'll keep it and work a bit harder
