I guess it's about expectations... I thought it was going to be rubbish, it's actually a good truck infact... I may even Attachment 46220like it.

How many dash lights are on? :XD:
How many times has it broken down so far? :ORLY:
Haha.... Yeah I wrangled a very comprehensive warranty... Time will tell.
This one is ford engine and ranger 6 speed.

I have one. Older than yours, love it. Text me when you get it bogged. Two connected together would look cool...
Already have a tow vehicle for when we both get bogged too :) Attachment 46224
What's the ride comfort like?
[QUOTE=bully;442740]What's the ride comfort like?[/QUOTE
In the defender ?
Excellent, better than the cruiser for softness.
Also sticks like glue on the rd, Iv been impressed. Like Iv said its a good truck.
id stick to the cruiser
why would you need a land rover when youve got one of thoseQuote:

Nice wagon, enjoy it, I get plenty of grief about my Pajero but it does the job for me, gets dirty, scratched to buggery from gorse and so on, stuck once in soft river sand on exit, little digging and some gorse and she chewed it up... Plenty of respect for the Defender, go hard Dr...
How long did you keep yours for? ;)Quote:

dare I say it but Mate bought a Mahindra double cab wellside and let me tell you straight up, it handled better off road than most wagons Ive ever been in,a bit spooky where it would go and comfortable ride too....only major kink I can see is the paintwork/metal quality,looks to be on par with early mitsi or Datsuns, would highly recommend a deck liner and small container of clear coat(read nail polish) to touch up spots as they appear.
My missus has a Defender 90 with a 300TDI and I have a Disco with 300TDI.
To date they have both been excellent vehicles and given us no problems.
I am amazed at how well both vehicles ride both on and off road, and although the aren't 500 HP monsters they seem to tow and carry everything I throw at them.
I know Land Rover has a reputation for breaking down every 5 seconds, but it's funny when you talk to the owners of Japanese 4x4 or utes, they aren't all doing half a million kms with no maintenance.
Im surprised they never used Landrovers to fix the oil crisis, Ive got one sitting in the drive way and it manages to leak oil with no oil in itQuote:
