Thread: DEFENDER HAS BEEN A REAL PLEASURE

We're only six months into Defender ownership, coming off a previous range of high performance V8s, so the Defender is "different", very different, and we are DEFINITELY enjoying the experience. Perhaps the only "issue" we have, with repect to its on road performance, is its ability to overtake B Doubles, and B triples as we encountered on our Broken Hill trip....but obviously that's not a big issue, but overtaking anything, just requires a bit more care.
When we're in our Defender, we feel we're in a good place, and we're most definitely, comfortable.

Love ours we bought a new 90 in 2013 as a shared car......couldnt get SWMBO out of the drivers seat........so by chance got a good deal on a 130 2013 but bought in 2014..... 15klms on clock runout thingo
Now we have one each its interesting to compare the two same year models as far as feel......hers is coming up to 20k, mines still as tight as at 2k needs to loosen up a bit
GO GO PUMAS !!!!!!!

only downside is the amount the dealers charge for servicing...............they sure play catch up on any specials they give on the sales side

Had my SVX since 2009 and still lov'n it.......go the PUMA's

We're thinking of going the same route and for the same reason, love our 90, only problem is the rows about who gets to drive, so thinking of picking up a 110 this year too if we can find the $$$ and last order dates permitting. Oh and I fancy a Perentie too, is this an illness?

There are a lot of workshops around that know their Land Rovers back to front & charge a lot less than the dealers!

My TDI 90 has been running super sweet recently, and its only 25 years old! Done some epic trips, all fun, zero drama.

... damn, I've gone and jinxed it now haven't I.

Good luck the Puma's!
