2nth hand defenders are expensive about everywhere. A 200Tdi def with 150K on will catch like 10 000€, a similar disco or classic range will go for 5000 or so in Belgium (and they are pretty much the same car, but with comfort). Patrols can also be found cheap. There was a 200tdi engine for sale for 1800€ on the belgian landrover forum, that can be fitted in an elderly 110 but then, I still believe your better of just buying a disco, RR or patrol and go from there.
And why the 4L conversions go wrong... The LR gearbox is not built for a 4l diesel, and down the line, there are the diffs and half shafts that don't like all this torque.
