hey guy

Thanks and excited to be here.

I am new to the land rover community after buying a 2nd hand 2014 Land Rover Range Rover last year and I love it.

But - decided to switch it up to free up some cash, lower my
Instance with my new neighbor hood having a very high insurance rate + and try out something new.

So - i really want a Defender 90 and since I have a 8mth old girl I need to know if i can fit Isofix in a defender in the back seat and if anyone has done it in the past?

Any guidance here is welcome

Many thanks

Sebastian

Welcome to LZ.:)

Not exactly sure where in London you live, but I suggest you research that idea very carefully.
The ULEZ will be extended to the North and South Circulars in about 2 years time, after which it will cost £12 per day to use or park a Defender within that area.
 
Welcome:)

I don’t think any defenders will have that system fitted. (I might be wrong)

But something can be sorted to secure your precious bundle:)

But maybe dropping to an older D3 may help.

Good luck

It'll cost for the Range Rover too. Can't think why someone in London would want a Defender. Well, I can, BUT unless they also have a country pile , what's the need for a 4x4 in the city. :rolleyes:

Ideally you want to be looking for an early 1980s 110 or you're gonna get raped by the ULEZ in London, get the earliest 110 you can find with a V8 in it and then spend the next couple of years and a few grand doing it up and then love it, don't bother with a 90 for a family tug, they're too small unless you're migrating out of an Austin Mini/Metro LOLZ

Some Range Rovers will slip through the net. The oldest ones are historic vehicles, and the latest ones are probably Euro 6 compliant, so they will be OK.

No Defenders will qualify, all diesel, and none old enough to be historic.

I have no idea why anyone would want to drive one in London either.
 
So long as it meets or exceeds the regs you're ok.

My Jag is a 2005 Plate Euro 4 and it's exempt thanks to it being below the requirement

A mates BMW 530I 1999 is also exempt so you can get through..

Some latter Puma Fenders are exempt too IIRC

You'd be surprised.

Euro 4 for petrols, Euro 6 for diesels, some manufacturers moved to Euro 4 surprisingly early.

I doubt if the Pumas are exempt, because they have the Tdci engine same as my car, which doesn't qualify.

Latter Pumas 2014+ are Euro 6 IIRC..

I wouldn't want a Fender in L though lol

Series 3 it is for him then ;)

I prefer 2a myself, but most 3s are now historic.

However, I don't know if you can fit the Isofix that he speaks of in a Series, although I have no idea what it is.

It's a harness system for modern vehcules ;)

You could do that with a series, Zip ties..

Amazing things ;)
