    Hi,
    Just towed the trailer back with half a cubic metre of gravel in it.
    Barely noticed it over the hills.
    cheers

    I'M 6'4" and have driven in defenders for 10+ years, 30,000+k's a year, and never once had an issue with the seat position. One day i will get seat extensions, but it isn't that high a priority.

    I do 45 thou a year.
    I find it the most comfy vehicle I have ever owned to long trips.

    I Don't go in tight spaces, drive throughs or multi level car parks as the 130 dreams of the turning circle of a 110.

    Go for it, wish i could buy new (convince the financial manager at home) - only recently purchased second hand defender 110 extreme and loving it. its all what i have read on this site, we have three kids early teens they love it. the only things like to add are seat rails & cruise control & change the oringinal radio cassett with cd player.

    Yagon - your query, "The defender seems under powered. Does it have enough grunt for touring?"
    How about this? (sshhh)
    268 km drive non stop, AVERAGED (including slowing for 4 towns) 103KMH, AND........ on this trip, 11.9Litres per 100km! It flew!

    Not really on topic but the figure of 11.9 jogged my memory. A lucky friend has recently taken delivery of a brand new RR Vogue V8 Diesel. He has been monitoring fuel economy, 2000km of mixed city/country driving and his average economy is 11.9, that's amazing.
