Meanwhile i was drooling over the 101's, the Pinzgauer, and and stuff, off topic, but there is cool and then there is cool.

Not a plastic dash for miles:p

Your thoroughbred is comfortable and luxurious but how willing is to go on a journey that might include some of the roughest and toughest terrain that could possibly be thrown at it? How will you feel when your air and independent susprnsion leave you wishing you had live axles? When your body work rubs up against bush/brush? When your poor axle clearance with tiny tires leave you stranded?
The answer to those questions is probably the same way I'd feel if I took my 110 on a beautiful open road with winding corners. Or maybe the same way I'd feel on a 37 degree day stuck in traffic.

You see, I'm not in any way putting down discos or rangies. Neither am I saying a defender is superior, simply different horse's for different courses.

Had he compared the 110 to a 76 series then we would have two vehicles that are both work horses, but that wasn't the question!

Hahahaha. Your sense of humour is fantastic!

My panel work was bush striped under 2 days old..
My diff clearance is better than the defenders.
My suspension travel is greater than a Defender.
I've seen plenty of failed coil springs in the bush...

Regardless of load my D4 doesn't look like a dog with worms, and when empty or loaded rides like a magic carpet.

If the replacement Defender uses the same T5 platform it will be incredible.

Sitting back smiling, while AULRO members eat their young again. Another positive land rover post. Just surprised it hasn't been shunted off to another parallel universe. [ that trend seems to have stopped ] . I am really looking forward to the new family of land rovers, just hope there is a model within the average punters budget. Definitely the way forward, for land rover. Bob

We're all smiling in here Bob :)

Maybe they'll use a magic carpet as the platform for the next defender.............so that's where LR went wrong........doh
I just wish my defender was a discovery, then I'd be like Aladdin or is it prince or Persia?
Lol

That's obvious.

I don't think us Discovery drivers need to bait them anymore. We can sit back and watch the County and Defender drivers fight it out.
