Keep in mind the 99 D2, you can still retrofit the CDL back in. I'd go D2 if I were you.

Hi Todd, THANK YOU so much for the advice. I've had some suggest doing the import myself but wondered how much less it would actually cost me to do this and also worried about potential problems but after hearing the things you've gone through it doesn't sound that bad. May I ask what...

Hi Rob, I went and visited Rock Island Rovers' website last night. It's going to depend on what you want your Defender for and what kind of condition as from what I can tell, there seems to be a big difference in what they deliver for condition of vehicles in comparison to Pacific Customer...

Hi Rob, Great to hear from a fellow Canadian. No the company I'm talking about in Vancouver is called Pacific Custom Land Rovers. They're affiliated with Liveridge 4x4 (recently profiled in Land Rover World magazine) and the trucks they bring in are all refurbished ones. Very nice ones...

Hey folks, I recently found a 1985 D90 with a BMW 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine in it. It's for sale and I'm kinda interested but have never heard of this being done before. Have you folks here ever seen that or what are your thoughts on this configuration. As some background info, this...

Actually here in Canada, it's not uncommon for the majority of the Disco's to be pavement queens so you can find one in fairly decent shape. I was just wondering if that's the case for Defenders in the UK or if they are generally more beaten up because folks actually use them as intended. Even...

Hey just curious but what kind of condition would/should I expect for a 1990 200Tdi D90? Would it have been driven pretty hard or is there a good chance that it was more of a pavement queen?

Congrats on your new love. :) You will discover that it can be a "love/hate" relationship though...

That sounds very unprofessional. If your engine can't last a year then they should definitely replace free of charge. Maybe worth your while to pursue legal avenues if they don't step forward. I'd be very ticked if I were in your shoes and a brand new engine they put in last year crapped out on...

Won't Pelican cases work?

I'm not super keen on all the electronics in my Series I Disco. Can't even imagine what the Disco 3 is like.

Sorry I can't give you actual experience but I think it might take a while before you can get an accurate idea of the LR3's reliability. It's so full of electronics that I'd be inclined to wait a year to see how it holds up.

Normal Condition: Front: 28 psi Back: 38 psi Fully Laden Condition: Front: 28 psi Back: 46 psi Hope this helps. :)

LOL, yea I thought the same thing. I'm not real crazy about it's looks, especially the back end. Looks too much like a van. It's funny, this thing arrived in Canada in November of last year and I still haven't seen one on the road yet around here.

Hi folks, I'm in need of a second opinion and wondered if you guys could provide some assistance. My truck is a 98 NAS D1 with 122,000 kms on it so not overly old. I just had my head gaskets and rockers (all 16) done about 3 months ago by the dealer. Now I'm hearing a knock which...
