After a while of listen this is I thought I would mention I have two defenders. ( I had turned up in my company car and did not know the people there )
They all look at me and said well you can't really compare a defender against a patrol or land curser as the Defender is the last real off road you can buy.
I was shocked and nearly fell over on the spot , that they all agreed the defender out of the dealership was hands down was better than all their trucks.
I would have a Puma in a flash if they would just put an auto box in it.

Not rocket science really. Long travel suspension, live axles and perhaps a bit of TC for good measure is a pretty good combination.Quote:

I have no idea why absolutely crap music has become the norm with off road videos.

So learn to drive... Then problem solved😄Quote:

Its got nothing to do with hardcore play time, I have my 92 manual Disco for that and my daily drive.
You've heard the song : Ivé been almost everywhere man.
I'm beginning to think that the auto would be a nice way to carry on.
But they wont, so I guess I will never own a new Defender, which is still the best looking fourby ever built.
Sigh.

With a 4BD1T in a 110/130 you hardly ever need to change gears, so works much the same as a slushbox :angel:Quote:

Now, as for the merits of cruise / no-cruise... Cruise every time. I love it on the TD5 110.

Personal not a fan of autos. My classic is an auto and I don't like it or trust it. If it goes bang will be swapped for a manual
