Talking to the engineer at work, he informs me that Ford have suspended importing all Defenders except the 110 due to chassis cracking issues partic with the utes etc (dont know how factual this will prove to be, but he is pretty confident of his sources)Originally posted by Phoenix
There has been rumours abound for a while. and certainly 90 and 130 vehciles are only coming in on order, but AFAIK 110 vehicles still were.
As for tooling up for a new vehicle, more likeley the re engined version of the current defender, the new defender isn't due out for a few years yet.

I've never heard of chassis cracking problems in the defender, but then again, vlad pays more attention to the ute side of things than I do.
