Good day everyone, I'm a new member here from South Africa. I don't own a landy yet but I am planning on buying one, that's why I joined the forum. So, I know I want a Defender but I don't know yet which engine I want. I want a fuel efficient, simple engine, from what I read online the best option would be between the 300tdi and 200tdi and td5. Between the 300tdi and 200tdi the 300tdi seem to be the better choice. As far as I read the td5 unfortunately has electronics which I don't want because it will be something extra that could fail. The 300tdi seems to be non electronic engine but doesn't have so much power. So it's really between this two but I am starting to lean towards the 300tdi because it's non electronic. Isn't there maybe a way to delete all of the electronics in the td5 or is that not possible? The td5's road ability also seems to be better due to the increased power? The reason why I didn't include the more modern engine options is because they are a bit out of budget. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
