Still enjoying the little freeby. heated steering wheel is now my favourite thing for winter. 38mpg is also rather nice. Going in next week for a service, haldex service and diff oils changed. just waiting on my final bits arriving them rebuilding my FR slimline 2 rack from my Disco 3 onto it...

Curious how he got a P400 to review and not a much cheaper diesel model. The cheapest D200 is half the price of that but will have the same kit by and large. but that Harry Will feel a rough plum when he realises that people who were never going to buy it say it can’t do things they never did...

New off road bumper for this one. And a colour chance as well. rather different.

It’s going to be interesting for the 3.0 engines. they come in 200/250/300 bhp figures from the same engine. I believe there is some differences between the 200 and 250 engines but software only for 250-300.

Rather cool picture from the African trip by the Kingsley Holgate foundation. New Defenders are coping well with the trip.

yeah, that’s a bit of a shame. the D300 on paper is a proper and capable engine. 300bhp, 472lbft of torque, most of which comes in at 1500rpm. 0-60 in 6.7 or so and WLTP U.K. mpg of 30 combined. that’s plenty for me. plus the same engine is in 300/350 bhp power outputs for the RRS and MK4...

Oh I know mate. It’s just sad for them. on unrelated topic.. Has the Winter OJ issue been posted out? Not seen the US one land on my Scottish door step yet. ( that should give you a massive clue for who I am ) :LOL:

Well can you give me the next Euromillions numbers then since you both have superb crystal balls that can see into the future? So basically Land Rover have spent 6 years and countless millions of pounds to develop a car that will last 10 years according to the claim. Then you wonder why people...

Merc have an advantage over Land Rover in that regard though. they have the following models. A,B,C,E,S class. GLA,GLB,GLC,GLC coupe (why?? ) GLE, GLE coupe (why?? ) GLS. Then the SL models and vans. The G wagon, in the U.K., starts at £93,250 for the AMG line G350 D. when the G starts at...

You do that if you want. I’ll roll with the times.

And that video shows a lot of how the rules and regulations have changed in recent years. it’s no longer just crash into a wall and record what happens. There’s lane monitoring systems etc now to be designed and factored into. The regulations are only going to go one way. However, the new 110...

So ASPW has some sand in his chuff then because what he said was a load of garbage. Shame. Guess that’s what happens when you take a stance on a car before driving or experiencing it and then trying to justify it when the evidence says otherwise. the new 3.0 engines have landed in the U.K. A...

My local dealer doesn’t have any in stock. Quite popular here. same dealer I took my 3 hour test drive from. hammond has been restoring that Series 1 since the early days of his top gear career. He’s not get very far in 15+ years...

Long post warning and I make no apologies for it. The TFL110 issues do confuse me a little bit. yes the car had some camera issues but that should have been sorted. The engine issue, that’s unusual but I would have hoped a replacement engine would have sorted that. with the old unit being...

My new landy. 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 Metropolis. It’s effectively a run out model of the Freeby before the Disco Sport arrived. So it’s packed with equipment and features as it’s on par with an HSE luxury with some extras. Not as big as my old Disco 3 but much younger, half the miles on it and...

Another pretty image of a US Defender. Somewhere in Death Valley.

Different opinion is fine. That thread went beyond it, it went to entrenched positions and lack of respect on all sides. My words were accurate, some members, were told to wind it back, but wouldn’t. When the mods need to step in, then something has gone wrong. Which as pointed out, is when the...

which is why it’s not been locked and has remained a civil chat about the car without the “It’S nOt A rEaL DeFeNdEr” circle jerk of haters. Which grew tiresome and I personally blocked seeing a few people as they were contributing nothing but bile and anger.

A Canadian on one of the fb groups for the new defender. Ex U.K. chap who still has his native U.K. accent. Nice chap, doing a few YouTube videos on his trip. Hardtop = commercial/van/utility spec version. Sorry to disappoint. Some superb pictures of his trip.
