The gear thing is like any car, you need to get used to it, they are geared differently...
The seating thing is probably because you sat like you would in the Disco and
not like you should in a defender, sit up man!!
The sweating... MMMM are you maybe "going through the change?" :eek:
as for being confused in your mind...where else do you get confused??
Now Im confused...... :)
G'arn you know you do want one.

You have to test drive them for longer.
I had a test drive and it went like this
MLR to home about 30 min - did not like
Home to sons about 30 min - starting to like
Sons to MLR about 60 min - wanted to buy one.
Ended up buying a D4 but that is another storey.
I think you just answered you own question... ;)Quote:

If I put the lambswools on the fender seats it might work.
The radio/stereo is hopeless.
I had an idea, dont know if I've bounced it around.....sound bars for a home entertainment unit , surely they would do it.
What I need to do is drive one to William Ck. Does anyone hire Defenders?
This mob does, but they are based in Sydney and Cairns only:Quote:

Don't know why you would need to be Double De clutching,..we don't.
Radio/stereo hopeless,...Is that the stereo unit that is hopeless, or is it the "noise" that is shutting it out?!! Can't do a lot about the noise, but there again, "for a Defender", I reckon it's acceptable,....I mean, can you believe it?...a subwoofer in a Defender?!
C'mon, just buy one, you will NOT regret it.
Cheers, Pickles.
130 seats always were vinyl in previous models, but I'm not sure re the newer ones.Quote:

Don't know what the fuss about the radio is, my gps comes through on it clear as a bell. Haven't found any thing else as interesting to listen to on it though.
I'm wrapped with mine, it is much more a 4wd than I am.
cheers
Hmm, after having cardno/cardna/cardinal joint bundy off and prop shaft destroying the ZF last June I'm still having nightmares about keeping the D2. It's ten years old with 134 K on the odo, mostly OK but nightmares continue so thinking of taking advantage of LR's Main Event promo and tucking into a 110 wagon. :confused:
