Thread: `09 110 C/Chassis

Hi all,

Just joined the forums and need some advice (already)

A few years ago I owned a Td5 110 wagon and had a real love/hate relationship with it but ended up selling it because of work. (Got back into farming and needed a ute again)

I'm currently thinking of selling my current ute and trading into a `09 C/Chassis Defender. I took one for a test drive today and have a few points to think about already:

1: The motor rockets! was responsive and I liked the short sharp gear changes as well
2: Will only need servicing once a year or 20,000 km's, should also be light on it's tyres and light on fuel, saving some money in the process.
3: Heater and A/C work! with the Td5 it sometimes involved wishful thinking to get the cabin warmer or cooler
4: I found the cabin comfy, if a little ...... squeezy (I'm 6`1")
5: More wind and road noise than old ute (landcruiser), motor roars when under throttle but is a lot quieter when just cruising along

So I'm wondering if there are any other owners of Defenders with the new TDCi engine and 6 speed box, what they think of them, how do they tow, any issues they've had with them?

Cheers guys,
Bluefox

As soon as I get my paws on it, I'll put up some photo's
