    FWIW Telstra dumped all their remote area Defender 130's years ago, far too many cracked chassis and front diffs. They wre also destroying 79 Series Cruisers (front diffs in particular) and breaking the rear chassis on their Patrols. If you saw how they drove them you'd understand.
    Nissan responded, beefed the chassis at the rear hangers where they were breaking and upgraded the suspension. The stripped spline in the GU g/box between 2000-01 was a QA issue and long since overcome.

    Land Rover weren't interested in helping or responding to the issues at at all.

    Oh thats sounds familiar.



    However in relation to the original question:
    Just how much better is a Landy than a Toyota Troopy?

    The answer is 14 % better.






    But then you have to realise that 72% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".


    gone

    1993 Defender 110 ute "Doris"
    1994 Range Rover Vogue LSE "The Luxo-Barge"
    1994 Defender 130 HCPU "Rolly"
    1996 Discovery 1

    current

    1995 Defender 130 HCPU and Suzuki GSX1400

    The other thing I forgot is the p-weak clutch they put in them. Take a Troopie in the sand and smell that burning clutch!

    That's the Landrover problem! In any other company, a managment team that ignores user feed back would be sacked. Then again, if Telstra were only buying a small qty, I can understand it.
