Thread: LR design team on drugs

It has one specific use I can think of - allows you to carry agricultural chemicals legally in a vehicle that will also carry the family.

LandRover advertise that they do have a 110 Cab Chassis.

Ok I said lets be fair dinkum about it.

First off the interior is very good for a work truck.
B pillar seemed to be ok (seat rail must be moved)
Motor & box seemed very good etc.



Then, after all this money spent on re design the freekin handbrake is still in the (I love your left leg position). Why couldn,t they move it or use the D3 electric unit.

The rear tub is useless, my Great Dane would get the poo,s trying to get room in it. What possesed LR not to bring in a 110 Cab Chassis instead of this cut down hard top. It would become a fairly good unit with a good size tray on the back.

Looking at it in the yard it just screams out (look how useless I am).

For 50 odd thousand they have to be kidding.
Must have been the strippy tablet day at Design head quarters with a "lets cut the back off and ship it to the colonies"

I the 110 crew cab is extremely popular in the UK. Saw plenty when I was there.

You have to consider that the 90 outsells all other defenders in the UK. Many of them are sold in truck-cab form to farmers.

If they are used to (and happy with) the space in a 90, then the 110 crew cab is basically a 90 truck cab for a farmer with a big family / lots of workers.

You would be surprised how many sheep fit in the back of a 90/110 truck/crew cab. (but the english sheep are quite a bit smaller)

Yeah 110 cab chassis, not crew cab chassis. The tray is 1.022 . Bloody stupid I reckon

Thanks Justin

The hand brake and all the other design issues, I think all goes out the window when you drive one and women drop their shopping as the stare in awe at this insanely sexy car that has just driven past them. Defenders are chick magnets

and we have tested this alot hey hendo,,, d2 and fender next to each other,,, witch one do the chicks look at and stand next,,,
it even pulls sisters

and here we have the scientific evidence to support this claim
