My fender attracts more women than my mates disco if that helps.

What are you wanting to pull/tow with your hybrid?

Yeah defender seems better deal cheaper on partsfor body thendisco. I got caravan. I know it will pull that easily. It was just for sake of argument etc. I have decideto go hybrid 100 on mydisco chassis

thats one fat bird, did you have to roll her in flour?

OP the disco engine is tuned for slightly more bhp so i have been told. other than that basically the same engine.

In Australia , Mack prime mover with a poclain excavator.
Broke down round a bend , towed it about 3/4 mile into layby . Where i repaired it with a spring out of a ball point pen !!

I ran a '98 Disco 300tdi and now run a '92 110 200tdi and the Defender pulls a million times better than my Disco did.

Have to agree. Used to have 1996 300tdi disco, exchanged for 1997 300tdi 110 defender. Towing a horse trailer with 2 horses and the defender beats the disco hands down. Plus defender seems much more stable on the road.

possibly more to do with the gearing than the actual engine output.

have had both 300 and 200tdis and dont have a problem with either although I do know some who say 200 is a lot stronger engine.
