    Did they measure the usable storage space inside?

    Did they consider how well a hose removes mud left in the vehicle from muddy boots?

    Did they test how stable a hot cup of tea is when balanced on the mudguard?

    Did they consider the fact that the Defender comes in a range of variants, one of which allows you to fit a Trayon camper on the back.

    If not, then the comparison had serious shortcomings.

    1973 Series III LWB 1983 - 2006
    1998 300 Tdi Defender Trayback 2006 - often fitted with a Trayon slide-on camper.

    WTF??? So one is more car for your money, the other is more landrover for your money??? Talk about an oxymoron.

    I am reminded why I stopped buying Landrover magazines.

    I squash that rumour, I've had my D4 up to 140kph without any trouble, I reckon 170kp would be doable, need a lot of room though

    They've even got the build quality right - 5 of them standing around with the bonnet up.

    Come come I think the point they are making is they have great love for the old tool box as do I, I have a real soft spot for the defender, I came so close to buying one and agonised over it for ages, I wish sometimes I did, especially when I got the bill for the reconditioned transmission,
    This has actually brought me closer to my car which I know is partly down to the extra investment but the thing is that The discovery 3 is exactly right for me,
    It was my first car,
    I got a automatic license,(at 40)
    I wanted to be adventurous
    I wanted park in my multi storey car park across from work
    I'm not a macho man by any stretch ( hairdresser infact )
    I'm not mechanical at all
    It was a choice of a new defender or a 2007 disco 3,
    I am a big fan of the prospeed aesthetic, which I think gives the disco the edge in the good looks department

    I also know that the discovery 4 is better and so will the discovery 5 and probably the new defender will be better, and so on........
    What I'm saying is that my discovery 3 is right for me at the moment, and I feel that it is great value for the enabling technology,that
    has seen a almost Learner up mt Pinnbar , traipse (I'm from Belfast) all over the high country and scoot along the Coorong,
    I don't think I would have made it in a Defender due to my inexperience in four wheel driving.
    But maybe I might have enjoyed it more who knows ?????
