    I'm another who started with a 110, and realised that a 130 would suit my needs better. However, I still think the 110 has that iconic LR look about it! I miss the turning circle of the 110 (who woulda thunk it?!), and the ability to quickly throw things in the back and have them secured, but other than that, love the versatility of the 130.

    Mind you, I try not to get too attached to inanimate objects, as it clouds the judgement IMHO.

    All you 110 owners eventually realise that the extra 20 inches makes all the difference

    There can be no doubt that the 130 is THE Defender to have !
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Sounds like bragging to me, after all it's really 17 inches.

    Im afraid to say it but I think your right. Maybe I might aim to get one of the last in 2015 as that is really the only angle I could possibly use to upgrade to a new defender and mine will be out of warranty as well.


    Thanks for the input guys.

    I'll never be able to afford a new Defender (have to buy a house first) so I'll just stick with the BEST 130's built - Tdi !!!!

    I guess that could also be an option for me as well.

    Have wondered that a bit myself if I had to do it all again. Pour 25K into a 10K Tdi to make it all smick, or go the Tdci again.
    I appreciate some of the refinements of a Tdci, but when you get 2 Tdi's for one Tdci, or 3 if your puma is on lease perhaps it's not such a bad idea.
