Very nice fit in the Defender & the 6spd box from the Disco is great too.

Actually, the TDV8 Defender isn't for public release yet until the 1st of April.
God - no one will buy a Defender now - that new V8 will destroy the driveline in no time. I was going to look at the new pick up - but only if they still offer the old well matched 4 cylinder transit engine.

Some folks appreciate that this vehicle doesn't need a V8.

I know it's a load of BS but if they did fit v8 oilers made the cabs so there was room between the doors and seats AND BACK WALL(australianise it) -added optional auto's set up a real distributor network such as Cat years ago -they'd get somewhere!!
