    Which Defender?

    I'd love to but £15k might just get me a ... ermmm - gearbox?!

    Which Defender?

    Pink seats though?! I have a feeling that would be a wee bit needy maintenance wise and still less bhp and torque than our "family estate" car ;-)

    Which Defender?

    Know about Roger Young (inlaws had three Defenders from him many years ago) but didn't know about the other one - a few decent ones there - cheers!

    Which Defender?

    Cheers hammo - that ebay one looks pretty good! I've seen a 50th Anniversary V8 one for around £9k with just over 100k miles on Autotrader but with a gas conversion (assume that means LPG?!). Possibly worth a look? I get the feeling Nene probably charge a bit more than most. If anyone knows...

    Which Defender?

    Hi all, Registered a while back but not been on for a while. Looking for replace our Jimny (55 reg, 23k miles) - yes it looks daft but it's flipping good off road and reliable. Anyway the family is getting bigger (currently on 2 yr old and a black lab, another baby in Feb) so we will probably...

    Tested a new 90 XS...

    Oops, pardon my mistake. A short review of a Land Rover on a Land Rover website. What was I thinking? I'll find a more appropriate site next time.

    The Best Ever Land Rover?

    Having just test driven it, I'd say the latest Defender 90.

    Tested a new 90 XS...

    ...and loved it. Black with full chequer plate kit and a tow bar. Seats are genuinely comfy (!), pulls much better than the Td5 with a lot more torque, 6th gear made 80 fine on the dual carriageway and it's quieter too. The new instruments are massively improved (and the dash feels tougher) and...

    Newbie, with questions!

    Well had it for most of Saturday and slightly cheekily did 150 miles in it. HUGE improvement on the TD5 - A load more torque (265ish vs 225ish), 6 speed box makes 80 okay on the dual carriageway and the interior is much improved - even the seats are nice! Think we will get one but they are only...

    Newbie, with questions!

    Goon - we used to get them new and kill them in about two years towing drilling rigs/bowsers,etc! Which company? I was Structural Soils about six years ago (I think) - often fun but the pay was tragic. Anyway, went to the local dealer - they have a black demonstrator - 90 Defender XS with...

    Football is for poofs - Land Rover ad

    Saw that a few days ago and laughed my head off - now reattached. So very very true!

    Chris - think I'll test a new one. Already quite familiar with the TD5. Treworgey - Whereabouts in this fine county are you?

    Newbie, with questions!

    Hi All, Found this site after looking to buy a LR Defender County 90. I used to drive modded 110s (Td5s) as part of a GeoTec engineer job and loved them. My wife also grew up with them and took her test in an almost new 90 pickup many years ago (and passed)! We are now looking to get one as a...
