I’m hoping they crack the D5 and the new Defender. my iid tool has been brilliant. From reading and clearing codes, to adjusting ride heights, updating software after amk installation and loads of other stuff. Mine was £360 and with the price rises it’s still worth £360 used. plus with it...

Sorry forum police.

Is that not why you also buy a GAP iid tool? So you can lift the car and save it as a setting 2. Then plug it back in and select setting 1 which is the street setting.

You don’t take an old defender to war. aquick google search will show how the British army had to pay out millions in compensation to families of troops killed by using an old defender. they offered zero protection against an IED. that’s why we have specialist machines for that. It’s not 1950...

Has it been 100% confirmed that it will be a SVR only option? Ive not found anything that says it’s only SVR, just that they are sticking a V8 in it. And likely the 3.0 6 cylinder diesels next year.

Land Rover have been sticking v8s in the models for decades. the only difference is now the engines aren’t detuned to let the car cope. And even without the detune, they were never overly fast or powerful. Plenty of SVR models my way, despite the fuel bills. This will sell well in the gulf...

Would interning to see the car in the various terrain response modes. There is a good video of a D4 on rollers and tested in the various modes. Lucky8 said the back callipers fit with magic. So that’s the answer for how they did it.

After 8 years, mine is getting stripped and moved on to pastures new. Been fun having it and I’ll miss it when it’s gone. But it’s cost a fortune this year in repairs and the specialist I’ve been using as let me down with poor workmanship and tore the ******** out of getting it back to me after a...

Land Rover could drop a couple of models and be better for it. The Velar, no idea why you need something that’s slightly bigger than an Evoque, but isn’t as big as a Sport. Disco 5 hasn’t sold as well as hoped, it’s too different to the lineage of D1-4 and is way overpriced for what it is...

Yet more negative postings. Still a broken record of misery

And yet plenty other enthusiasts find the modern ones very enjoyable. Like me. All you sound like is a broken record whining at everything. You and red both suck the enjoyment out of this forum, absolutely nothing is good enough for you both and the constant drivel and negativity kills threads.

https://rumenmarinov.com/my-trip-to-the-red-centre-5/ Simpson desert. In a stock Freelander 2. Not exactly some built up rig or whatever, yet it still did the trip and did it in comfort. I feel sorry for a few people on here, they constantly have such a negative view on pretty much everything...

I can’t wait for a farmer to buy this and treat it like anything else they have. The greeting faced Luddites will be beside themselves with rage. People cut up the other models interiors to fit stuff. Don’t see why this won’t be, either brand new or in the passage of time like all models get.

Can’t say for towing at elevation but my D3 happily sits at 60 with 3.5 tons on the hitch as that’s what it’s rated to. That’s loaded trailer with another car and spares on it, I’ve towed boats, camping trailers, broken down defenders and all sorts. it will sit there happily and not worry about...

While we do get the 2 diesel options here in the uk. A 200bhp and 240bhp variant of the same 2.0 engine. I personally would like a 3.0 Diesel engine. A nice straight 6 would be good to have for more performance and pulling power. 240bhp is very similar to the power my discovery 3 with the 2.7...

That’s a lovely story but has the author of that article not heard that RedRover says the new Defender is crap and that his personal opinion on it is golden and law. :p

On good news. Imagine that in this thread... :p LR have been letting local NHS and other essential staff members get access to the new Defenders to use during this outbreak. a nice gesture that will likely be very welcomed as we try to fight this virus.

Please do. the whole mud slinging is getting repetitive and boring.

Just listened to the OJ podcast on it. a nice balanced review I thought. A class leading gentleman’s Wrangler seems a fair description of it. Be interesting to see how the aftermarket takes to it.

Who the hell cares what parent company owns the marque... That’s just petty childish rubbish and you all bloody know it. The Uk government will offer support as it’s better to keep workers in a job than throwing them on the dole and making them unemployed. Just like it will most likely offer...
