LR are holding an event at Thredbo where you can find out for yourself.

Land Rover (https://view.jaguarlandrovermail.com/?qs=722b59b69d0d310275c91667715a903ed2be1936b5898a 9c6ee21ff269ff24b3d9c63f6334e0885b2f19640b75c6c84c 120f90454c0088ad1699f0ba279ebb661eada9f374fb42282e 6e3cf27eb14f5b)

Geez all they did was harp on the fact that the low coolant light kept on coming on.
They didn't check tyres , oil , and coolant before they left?
What was enough in town was not enough on a rough trail.
Geez yanks!

just totally wasted 30 mins of my time.

nothing to see here

where did they go offroad?

good to see Land Rover throwing a warning or 2 up.

Unfortunately to the great unwashed, it is little faults like these being thrown up highlight to them how unreliable the new defenders are - particularly in view of the failures of their previous two Defenders and I think this one only had 500miles on it.

I don't know a lot about the new Patrols but I thought they were pretty reasonable offroad but the one they had did not go well at all in those very easy conditions.

Oh OK - I thought they were the same (Y61?) just with different badges.

Oh OK - I thought they were the same (Y61?) just with different badges.Same looking. Both y62's, very similar, ours is just more optioned up from factory 4wd wise, theirs is more with luxuries wise

The Defender engine seems very noisey for a petrol, unless its the way the Vid picks up the noise.

Agree,not much of a test.

These TFL Wally’s have been buying Land Rovers and criticising them for years. I’ve wasted many hours looking at their vehicle tests etc and only wish I had $10 for every time they used the word ‘unreliable’. Don’t worry; I’ve sent comments about their bias many times. These guys are only YouTubing for the income. The more bias, the more the Americans swallow their words with relish.
Suffice to say I unsubscribed from their channel.
Merry Christmas 🎄 to all.
Let’s be kind to each other in this forum, otherwise users will be driven away (no pun intended).
