Yet to be convinced about Defenders. Driven loads of them quite good for towing but engine seems harsh and they rot away too quick,but they are still nicer looking than all the far eastern offerings and at least the low box is manual not like all the modern stuff with electric shifter motors and bla that gives up after 3 years

Greetings ! @Hippo is a great fan of Defenders

It is true I likes tratters but couldn't live with one. Tratter engines rattle like a tin of marbles and that's just on tick over. The condensation ont roof will run down yer back like a cold shower. Yer need to open a window to poke yer arm out as there int enough room. They're eaten alive by rust worm and one of the most easily nicked vehicles. Never before has a vehicle been so good, yer have to make so many modification to it to make it bearable. Have yer thought about buying a Freelander?

how on earth does one put up a new post. As a mechanic i'm often fixing stuff and I'd like to post some solutions
