sadly i recon lr dont want the defender market.they proberly make more money from the luxury market& that is where they are heading.
the d3 is up market from the d2.they are targetting this market
it would be interesting to know how many of each model are sold & sale trends for last 5yrs or so
i believe many defence forces around the world dont use landys any more either & this would have been a big defender market
anyway now ta ta owns them who knows what will happen
cheers :confused::confused:
Hi Scarry
He is apperently legit.
An AULRO member that works in the same place checked it out.

My money is on them putting more bucks into the sheds on wheels and hopefully bringing back some of the retro tech and classifying the vehicles as utilities to get past all the greenies hassling (the tdi300 is still better than the current EMCON requirements in australia and a good suzie is as well)Quote:

I shall add this:
FLY BY WIRE!
First, do some reliability trials and testing on the electronics.
Once the bugs are ironed out, replace as much unreliable mechanical stuff with electrons and ribbon cable as possible.
Imagine a LR which is instantly responsive in all facets and self diagnoses:cool:.
Yes of course the unwashed masses will poo poo electronics but, hey, planes fly better now don't they!
The trick is to make them RELIABLE, something LR have yet to do!
Ralph
yeah vut as a rule planes also dont generally leak, have sealed connectors at harness junctions, dont go engine deep in mud, have total system integrety checks carried out at least monthly AND have multiple redundancies on everything that moves or are grossly over-engineered (wheel bearings for example)

If aircraft were grossly over engineered they wouldn't fly.Quote:

Also, due to the cyclic stresses on the structure, cracks develop over time which is why they need such strict inspection programs. An aircraft structure that is designed not to crack is too heavy and the aircraft will not be able to fly. And if it did, it would not be an economical vehicle.
I'm an aeronautical engineer so this was up my alley :D. Sorry it was grossly off topic but just my 2 cents
