    At least when I fill up the back of the disco with bricks or tow a trailer of any weight, it always sits level with sls. But then I'm also comfortable, drier, dust free and at least $10 grand better off than if I owned a 110 of the same year. Oh, and my panels come "straight" from the factory too

    Come on people! Discos are great. I think I'll get one for the Missus.
    Cheers, Billy.

    The real truth of what makes driving a defender better than a disco or rangie...

    Theres only a very small number of drivers who can look down their noses at you and call you a hypocritical luxury optioned technology dependant softy for doing the same thing to other drivers.

    The series driver..

    For spelling call Rogets, for mechanicing call me.

    Yeah but you can say what you want back to the Series drivers, because it's not like they can hear you anyway

    Today I told a friend I had bought a Defender. He went on to tell me how he heard from a friend of a friend the the bull dust kills wheel bearings of Landies (I never read anyone with that problem myself). How the gearbox explodes when you tow... Yet I dont hear of any of this on the forums.. Someone at my range basically told me come and talk to him after I have towed and I would think differently. He went on about a Landie he had years ago (Totally different car!!).
    Get yourself a Defender you wont be sorry, there is so much Landie BS on the net, coffee type optional .

    Chris those of us that have had Defenders for a long time have heard all this before . A friend of a friend said this and that , or said that . I've been told more than once back axles snap . They used to , that was before the Salisbury came along . Series 3 about 1970 !!.. Jim

    Defender better than a disco/rr:

    I bought mine brand new. No qualms giving it Malaysian jungle pinstripes (scratches all over) from day 1.

    Would cry just getting a brand new RR or Disco dirty...
