Jimny interior All hard plastic. Better for a traditional working 4x4 but would today's Defender buyers accept it?

The thing is, how do you think Land Rover should have developed the new Defender? Traditional chassis with live axles, or the more modern independent setup? And the interior, should they have gone for a plastic interior trim (there are some plastics and it has rubber mats rather than carpet) Do...

lt probably wouldn't. After six barrel rolls this 110 doesn't look that much different

Don't know why l didn't think of it before Fit the grille from the old one

lt's very unlikely the turbo has siezed and is then freeing off. Check the MAF unit. lf the MAF has failed you'll get exactly these symptoms. Also the wastegate could be seized, so check that as well. That can also give the symptoms you are getting.

Yes effectively a deep 10mm socket with a articulated joint on the end

Google or Ebay search "TD5 glow plug removal tool"

l have the same issue, being in business and use the vehicle all day everyday l was torn between sticking with my 155,000 mile TD5 which required constant maintenance or going with the new one which l can just get in and drive. Also it's got more security for my tools etc. Of course the ideal...

Oh it does have some character, much more than other SUV's l have driven, plus the "Defender" legacy. And the interior certainly on my base specification model feels like a Defender. l definitely love the vehicle although it took some time. But you're right, it's still nothing like the...

l post this stuff mainly because it may be useful in the future when/if the new Defender is more popular on here. At the moment l can't see a lot of people being interested in what MPG the vehicle is managing for instance. Most new Defenders are on PCP agreements and owned by people who don't...

NEW DEFENDER FUEL ECONOMY Normally around 26mpg driving between customers However if l drive in "ECO" mode and very carefully (but without holding up the traffic) l managed 37mpg, despite there being three sets of temporary traffic lights on my route, all on red when l got to them of course...

Thanks for the heads up. Yes l was aware of the issue with the output shaft, any Puma Defender l bought would get the Ashcroft modification as a priority.

I had a drive in a Puma 90 XS earlier in the week. Compared to my new Defender it was frankly awful. Bouncy, not that fast, noisy, water leaking in (it was raining) stereo hopeless, gearbox slow, and various rattles. Within five miles l was in love with it. We're going back on Saturday to see...

As an owner of a new Defender (and previously five old Defenders) l have to agree with the above. The new Defender is a great vehicle but it's not a "Defender" The Grenadier is a "Defender" or it would be if it had a Land Rover badge on the front. The new Defender certainly has DNA from the...

It depends on what you want to use it for. Primarily road use with the ability to go off road when needed......Defender Primarily off road, Overlanding or farm use, but still good on road......Grenadier The Defender Commercial version works out a lot cheaper than a Grenadier if you're in...

l've driven both. The Grenadier is good but it's not a patch on the new Defender on road. However, it's good enough to be used as a road vehicle and if you are coming from an old model Defender it will seem refined. It's great that there's a choice. l think lneos have done a great job producing...

Looks good. l like those wheels, and the extended wheel arches. The "Defender or Grenadier" argument continues on another forum. For me it was the Commercial status of the Defender that made it effectively £25,000 cheaper than a Grenadier I've driven the Grenadier and it's obviously more of a...

FEBRUARY 2024 UPDATE HOWS THE DEFENDER Well, l've now done 11,000 miles and had no issues with the vehicle at all, which is why l've been quiet for a while....nothing to report l've treated the underside with a clear anti rust wax as surface rust can apparently appear after a couple of...

ls this still for sale?

Link doesn't work
