Just a quick one...
I have had a lovely 24v diesel 80 series that I miss, a 24v diesel powered 130 defender, that I had to sell because of lack of funds and now a 110 defender with a 12v diesel in it.
As you can see, a reoccurring theme!
The 110 may also have to go to free up funds (I am building a house and all the toys are slowly dwindling!)
I have been thinking of getting a bottom of the market 100 series for towing duties (I have a big triaxle trailer that can be nearly 3.5T), farm duties (we have a potentially muddy slippery small holding), lugging stuff about duties.
Am I buying into a potential money pit with something like this, or could this represent good value for money with a light tidy up?

I have had to do a nearly a full rebuild on the 12v on the 110 due to BEBs and really cannot afford another £3k+ bill with the next purchase!
Is there a idiots guide to buying a 100 series?
Thanks in advance
