Looking for thoughts on whether a remanufactured Nikon D3300 at a saving of £60 would be worth it. New with a 18-55 VR II lens is about £299.

You mean refurbished?
You can get a new one (with the even newer 18-55 AF-P lens) for £299. John Lewis have it with a 2 year guarantee.

Nikon sometimes call it Renewed as well.
I am thinking a new one is probably the best route, but I'll have to find some more funds for that.
Very confusing that the AF-P is a newer lens than the AF-S and even more so that it only has the VR system rather that VR II.
I'm seeing all sorts of different combinations of lens in D3300 Kits sometimes seeing non VR, VR and VR II lenses listed.
"It's all rather confusing really" - anyone old enough to remember where that phrase came from? without googling it

You're confused about the VR II as well I'm afraid... 
The AF-P 18-55 VR uses the same 4 stop VR system as the AF-S 18-55 VR II. The II refers to the fact that they upgraded the lens in many ways, not just the VR, over the first version of the AF-S 18-55 VR.

Ah, that would make sense. Still not sure why a P is newer than an S or do they go backwards through the alphabet

It's just a letter designation for the technology in the lens. They had AF-D, then AF-G, then AF-S, now AF-P.

The Nikon d3300 is a great starter dslr & imo for the money you can't go wrong. I have the 3300 and the vrII kit lens that you spoke about already and can say it's a great little kit lens, that will get you some good shots, both for landscape and portraits.
Personally, I have outgrown it now and will be looking for something more suited to landscape (which is what I prefer shooting) in the next few months. The camera comes into it's own once you get out of auto mode. Good luck with it (if you do go ahead with the purchase)
