Good to hear. I must admit, based on what I've read in the UK forums I am in a constant state of mild paranoia expecting the drivetrain to fall out or something. But looking back I could actually only count five guys who have been having all kinds of trouble and got to thinking, maybe it is just these five.

We need to have a comparison meeting at some stage. That way we can work out what little noises are standard on an 07 Defender. It's all so different, the starter motor sound, the shutdown sound, the various engine & gearbox sounds when cruising, or on overrun etc.
