I currently have two cruisers, a 100 series and an 80 series. I am bored with my 80 and there is a defender for sale in my area so I thought I would check it out. I really liked it. There is a little rust on the doors and a few wierdnesses like when when it revs up to about 3000 in second gear it kinda wont rev any higher, and second gear syncro is kinda weak.
I really like it, but keep reminding myself how unreliable these things are. Not that the 80 has been reliable. Its left me stranded about 3 times: corroded contacts to the ecu on two occasions, starter contacts on the third.
Should I be worried about the reliability? these things hold their value much better than my 80 or 100. I would sell the 80 to buy the 90. Its triple locked and supercharged and a sweet 80.
The 80 is kind of my daily driver, but I dont drive everyday. Would a 90 be ok as a semi daily driver? How is the heater in a 90? I live in calgary and it can get damn cold here.
