Thread: Drive: Defender Review

What sort of review was that? And Cheap parts, What???

Xav

What a git!! Too busy trying to be Jemery Clarkson.

Total crap!
He implied the engine was a old design.
Did he ever looked under the bonnet.
The ride and brakes and steering are good for that class of vehicle......its not a racing car.
This shows me again not to believe what you read in magazines etc.
I still remember off road Aust mag in volume 1 no6 implying the range rover locked the axles when they operated the central diff lock.
I think another one was overlander mag when testing a early cruiser against a early patrol implied the toyota rode better because it had fully floating axles and the nissan had semi floating axles.
I bet if the vehicle was lefthand drive for another market that ****** would still have issuses with the igition switch.
How many American cars are sold in Aust with slightly differnt positions of controls.........it just takes time to learn the vehicles controls to be a good driver and I find the same old Jap layout boring in every Jap vehicle

I'm suprised he didn't fall through the vehicle when he went standing on it . I'm serious though it doesn't feel/seem all the strong.

who was the baldy bloke with the ute

G'day Xavie,
Last weekend I picked up some slabs of cedar I milled 3 years ago up in Barrington Tops.
Had 2 guys climbing all over it to get that timber up there...
Could you really not do that in a 07?
Cheers
Mark

And Black Dog maybe you could but I wouldn't of been game to unless it had those after market panels on it. It just never felt very strong.
