Hello everybody, I'm considering buying a defender 90. I've always loved D90's and the other day a test drove one and liked it. I own a couple of nice jeeps and now want to build a D90 for rockcrawling. Besides traderonline.com and ebay where should I look ? What are some other links that I can look at for good info on D90's. Thanks,
Matt

Don't, you won't like it. It will be extremely expensive to maintain and will never run right. It will rust if you look at it funny and it is the only vehicle in which nearly every transmission had to be replaced under warranty. You will never be able to keep water out or oil in. There is at least a 25% chance that it will catch fire and burn to the ground . . . but you will HAVE to rebuild it. It is an addiction. I once had a relaible car, productive high paying job, a happy family, and a bright future. Now all I have is a D90, a stint at the rover dealership on my resume, a house full of parts, and 4 other land rovers.
