The later one will have a later version of the engine (15P in stead of 10P), which is a good thing. It should, I think, also have the later pressed steel rear door, which is also a good thing. You can tell the latter if the glass has rounded corners at the bottom.
All other things being equal, later is better but that's very much dependent on condition. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |

Hi LandRoverAnorak,
thanks for the information - I will keep that in mind. Given most engines are 200k+km, I was honestly planning already for a second engine to rebuild and drop into the bay after next year's summer. Somehow my mind even went to the 16p and jump over 15p .... |

I've not heard of a 16P variant. There was an 18P but that was for the ROW market and was essentially the same as a 15P but without the emissions control equipment. Darren

I have a 1999 build (2000MY 110) which I imported from Germany many years ago. If you get one with a good frame and little rust you can keep it in great shape. Mine was kind of a unicorn in that it was a one owner (government owned) and dealer serviced its whole life till I bought it.
The 10P motor has been bullet proof.

Talked yesterday lenghtly with the owner of the newer 2001 Defender. its a second owner car that's been with the family for the past 15 years. They're selling just because the family grew and now their going to camper convert a truck ..
As expected, it has its rust spots that will need some maintenance in 2-3 years (such as the doors) and at some point the rear cross member. But its still mild and does not require an immediate replacement. so I think with some love and some tools it can be taken care off for the time being before a new crossmember would become necessary. Paint apparently also has some bubbles here and there. but I guess I'll deal with them when i order the new doors the year after next. Drivetrain wise, he did come forth and told me that there is some mild seepage of oils in the underbelly.. but i think that's quite common? nothing that can't be taken care of with a new set of seals... Bushings, fluids, gearbox etc all maintenanced. Bushings were replaced 3 years ago. Flywheel replaced about 100k km ago. Will check on the clutch, in worst case I'll need to replace that in the nearer future. All paperworks are accounted for in regards of the maintances. Fun enough - on top - the car comes with a fully revised 15p engine on a crate as well. |
