Description Advisory free MOT; 300TDi 2.5-litre turbo-diesel engine; galvanised chassis The Defender 90 TDi of the mid-1990s is widely regarded as the sweet spot of Land Rover’s legendary off-road line.
Powered by the robust 300TDi 2.5-litre turbo-diesel engine, it offered improved reliability, torque and economy over earlier models, while retaining the rugged simplicity that made the Defender famous.

The paperwork includes invoices for fresh oil and filter at 148k miles; new fuel tank in September 2023; new steering damper in November 2...
