You know the items that you bring in three's in case the first one breaks down you have a spare and if god forbid that one carks it you have a spare for that one also

Mate I am one of the lucky b....., I have a 2003 D2 Td5 and a 94 300Tdi defender. If I had to go with one only, hmmm...... hard choice but the 110 would win. Space and hose out floor. All the mod cons of the D2 can be had in any vehicle but if you want a real 4x4 can't go past the defender.

I drive the D2 a lot more as a bitume vehicle but as far as getting out and camping the space and ability of the 110 does it for me. The one thing that I would have out of the D2 in the 110 is the auto. Only because I have had to rebuild the transmission twice in 150Kkm on the defender. Factory recall material when the output shaft in the R380 and the input gear of the LT320 flogged the splines (not that LR would do a recall) and then later spat the input shaft gear onto the lay gear probably due to previous owner towing boat in 5th. The spline lubrication fix and the move away from ATF in the Td5 defender will mean that you should not have the first problem and I suspect that the move away from ATF will probably help with the second problem as well.

Good luck.

Rules out the 110 then.

Use the bullbar on the D2

If you have to ask the question then probably a Defender is not for you.

Sorry.

I admit to nothing. Anyway as for 3 torches, I seem to recall you had the biggest and brightest one!
