    Yep... Bit of a plonker.

    It does annoy when people like that form opinions and then mouth off to everyone (pretending to be some sort of authority) when he hasn't even got 1st hand experience. It's a bit like people slating the Freelanders off-road abilities.

    One thing I would correct though is that the new Defender is limited to 83MPH. Even so, there's still bucket loads of torque there just waiting for an ECU mod... . It's also significantly quieter at that speed than before.

    LOL
    I presume talking the tonne we are talking 100mph??
    The reality is what Defender really actually needs to do this speed?? Not mine, but in standard form it will wind up and cruise at 150kph. When I can afford the bigger intercooler and chip kit it will happen, but not for top end, but to hold the road at 100kph fully loaded with a trailerand still return decent economy.
    If I want to go fast that is what the Stato and Duc are for.
    That was the issue I had with the Disco 300tdi.
    I wont be commenting on the new Fender until I get a chance to drive, but it looks the goods.
    Toyotas V8 is basically a slug, go test drive one. The only half decent form it in is an auto. Even with the TD5 Fender if I boot it it will leave a 100 series off the mark.
    Drive a standard diesel cruiser and they are a real slug.
    As for Nissan is he saying the same for them now the Nissan Patrol will only be available ina 3 litre?

    oh I know of a unit that had a perentine with a ummm tweaked pump that was quite happy to sit on 150kph fully loaded with a trailer on the back also fully loaded....

    not a whole lot of fun to corner in but great for getting around trucks....
