I felt bad scratching up a near £30k Defender on lanes and I had no money left for mods so I sold it and got a Discovery 2 instead. It’s 90% of the experience but nowhere near as cool.

It’s a TD5 county hard top in Tonga Green I believe. Standard except for the modulars, grill, LED lights & chequer plate.

Love the sound of the TD5 a simple remap to 170hp and straight pipe it.

I really don't get the love for them 🤷♂️. Just helping a mate sell 3 of his they would make good projects for someone. Think I have spent to much time fixing them now so the hate is strong.
Aye, I’ve got a mapped Disco 2 and it sounds the nuts.
tempted, I was on some green lanes near Holme moss last night and the headlights stopped working.
They look cool and other Landy nonces wave at you.

Usually when your parked beside the road with the bonnet up or looking at a river of oil flowing down the road. It's just there way of acknowledging your pain.

I keep saying this - I’ve heard VW/BMW/Merc mechanics say they wouldn’t touch the brands they work for after what they’ve seen…
whichever brand you work for, your going to see the common issues/designs flaws.
Ive had 3 RR/LR’s and all have been absolutely fine.

Without doubt. I used to attend a lot of dealer training for Ford techs and they moaned endlessly about how s**t the cars were, but it's because they are exposed to the problems with them 40 hours a week. They don't notice the thousands of others that are driving about without issue.
That being said, I still wouldn't own anything from JLR. There's s**t, and then there's JLR s**t.
Good considerate parking so the recovery truck can get in front of it🤣🤣
Both shite happy to help👍👍 go for a 300tdi with egr delete and new water pump and head gasket

your input is as useful as a chocolate kettle…
A lot of the military landys had a secondary water pump to help as well

Twingo 133 Cup,
Ah will have to take a look. Its still got lots of the old wireing in and has been a rolling restoration.
Td5 by a mile. A Defender is all about character and the TD5 has infinitely more than a transit engined Puma. The interior was slightly better in the puma and it had a few extra toys but I honestly prefer the flaps to air con 😂
These do very little for me but that is gorgeous!! I had a drive once many years ago on a car park and went over a curb and hedge and thought I was an explorer!

Endless fun at the ford there after a good bit of rain
Thanks mate, I think the colour and black details work really well. They’re great fun to bimble about in, horrendous when you first drive one but you get used to it and then if you ever sell it you want another straight away like me.
