Guest noggy Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Just been browsing ebay and seen this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Land-Rover-Defender-TD5-/270577986943?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3effb46d7f Now does that look a little fishy to you? he has both the front and rear axles for sale aswell. his reasons for breaking a '04 td5 90 with 54k on the clock "broke due to getting a new vehicle" Im sorry, but thats GOT to be a stolen vehicle being broken up!!

moore101 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 would the axle have a unique number on it? which would then enable the vehicle to be identified and the current status (stolen/scrapped) could be worked out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoupeUK Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Could be that its accident damaged and rather than repair it he's splitting it up instead.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyjrode Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 The gear box should have a serial number on it, which would corresponde to part of the vin number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Some stuff is worth more in bits than as one lump, most people don't think of taking a perfectly good car apart before selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam300Tdi90 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I asked: Hi there, Very interested in the gearbox you have for sale, and the axles actually. Can you send me the numbers off of all the casings? Thanks, Adam No answer.. edit: Axles are no longer for sale i.e. he's sold them..
