Current Defender is Independent.......

Someone needs fired, check out the caption on page 8 of their propaganda pdf.

Once you've done that, check out the torque and power curves. Must be an interesting vehicle to drive with almost flat power curve from about 2-4000rpm.

Umm - what is wrong on page 8 ? :confused:

And the power torque curves - they are correct too! :blink:

Nope, nowt wrong there...

The flat TORQUE curve, just makes the car easier to drive.

I thought from Dougal's title that that must have been it - but I couldn't see any reference to suspension on page 8....found it - page 6. ;)

P6 according to the page numbers, page 8 of the pdf.

It doesn't have a flat torque curve, it's got the peakiest torque curve I've ever seen, which dies off all the way to the rev-limit.
It's the resulting power curve that I was commenting on. I've never seen a vehicle produce the same power from 2-4000rpm.
