Thread: Thinking of trading in the Discovery 3 for a new Defender

There's more than a few 110/120/130'ss running around with either bags in the rear or bags all round

Hmm, maybe it's time for a new refrain.

"Defenders are built, D3/4's are bought"

That actually Jeff Bridges from the movie 'The Big Lebrowski', I've got the goatee and seasonally adjustable hairdo though. I like the crazy eyed smile he is wearing, suits my mood these days.

The Dude abides.

Yup... that's about right - about all you can pull in a 'fender!

Actually, girls love Defenders and the blokes that drive them

We aren't trying to compensate for anything, we're the real deal

There are examples everywhere D3/D4/RRS bettering the Defender AND visa versa ... tyres and driver ability is the biggest influencing factor. They are all Land Rovers and they are all good in my book.

Looks like the defender didn't for some reason engage the centre diff lock... So it's not a case of the vehicle not being able to make it.

What makes you say that? All wheels turn at some point or another. The ones you can't see are definitely turning.
