    Some people have no scruples.
    Bad really isnt it? oh well.. people are people and we cant change that... good on you for turning them down tho!

    still you can give me a wave when you see us driving around now i have instructed rach that we have to wave to all landrovers now... the wave from the disco just gets you a strange look!

    Thanks

    yep its certainly an option... and to be honest the way that things are landy wise this side... it may be necessary... what about pits? for registration they dont like oil leaks do they? and it is a landrover... hehe

    Thanks

    strange as i had completely a different experience there... i took a patrol with sealed brakes over.. and they were very friendly and interested in the vehicle etc.. still i guess everyone has a bad day.. maybe he was just a landy hater

    I went back 6 times and the bloke was a real arsehole IMHO i even helped him source some door tops for his kids series, he was going on about that the land rover smoked that i needed to cut the bull-bar side steps and brush guards off, he just had it in for me the ****** may his hair turn into drumsticks and bash him to death

    i guess you just cant help some people can you? oh well.. sounds like a jobsworth to me!

    Anyway... i have to say im very dissapointed with the defender..

    1, its not real noisey and doesnt really have rattles. Its got a bit of tyre / gearbox / diff whine at 100k's+ but thats all... im assuming thats normal? i cant hear anything to do with the car with the stereo on.

    2, its comfy even tho i'm 6'1 and over 100kg.. bit tight on right arm space.. but not too bad.

    3, Its staying shiney, but thats cause im not using it much!

    4, its not slow, and its not chipped yet!

    so much for all the stereotype defenders!

    hopefully give it a go at towing tomorrow.. over 200k round trip with the boat on. i'll let you know.. and maybe even get some pics on..

    Steve
