    Neighbour across the street from me has Sth African built Defender. He's from Zimbabwe and bought it across with him. Nice looking unit and he's never had any problems with it.
    Cheers .........

    They're better built, imho. We also got the best ever Defender - the 2.8i. These go for crazy money now.
