    Caveat Emptor

    Interesting vid about the pitfalls when buying a Defender. Most of you will be aware of these, but not all.

    I just found him, but I agree, he's great. Down to earth, interesting vids. I like that he often doesn't put himself in the vids, just the subject matter. Does he know everything? No, of course not, but he knows more than me, and I suspect he knows more than a lot of people here, and he's fun.

    Hey Johntins. Yes he is often correcting himself. Seems he has over 20 years working on land rovers in the uk and Quebec, lots of hints and short cuts. Always interesting, and some days he will upload 3 or 4 videos. I always look forward to them :-)

    Cheers Simon

    Yep, and he likes a scotch as well. I have subscribed, and am considering becoming a Patreon. Highly informative, and quite entertaining as well.
