Hi Guys

I am new to the land rover seen but extremely interested in purchasing Defender 90.

Currently living on the Isle of Wight previously owned Mitsubishi Shotgun a few years ago and enjoyed off roading.

Been around the merry-go-round with a couple of dealers trying to buy a Land rover Defender, so I thought give it rest until something decent turns up.

Welcome to the forum

Have you driven one before? They can be quite basic.

Hi Hippo
Yes I driven a Land Rover a couple of years ago, So would be a good idea to test drive a couple before I buy another 4x4. I also had thoughts on the Freelander 2.

The FL2 is a fantastic vehicle. A much easier vehicle to live with than a rusty ole damp tratter. Tratters are too easily stolen anorl. If yer put yer ear close to one yer can hear the rust worm munching away.

Nice FL2 is it a HSE?
I've been looking at a couple of FL2 2012 to 14 Wiish list: (silver, blacked out rear windows, rear spoiler trim, black leather seats and your style wheels)

Mine is a metropolis. 19 inch wheels as standard but the tread rumbles slightly so i run them at 32 instead of recommended 35psi. That's what main dealers advise. Mine has black leffer anorl.
