Thread: All new defender

Completely understand, I’d be going elsewhere too if I was in the market for a new vehicle. LR have become a joke with the new Defender

Didnt want independent suspension or any of that electric stuff so exit one Defender owner.
Very sad and a lot sadder when she goes but age and comfort demand something a tad more modern and comfortable with an aircon that actually works.

Still looking forward to the new Defender and hopefully sometime in the future I will once again be a proud defer owner but for now, oh well the darkside

Cheers,
Paul.

I reckon 2L for the 90 and 3L for the 110 .

From TD5, a tad more modern with aircon that works = defender puma? 76 series is a step back to leaf springs!

Mods - banish him!

At least the 76 will be extremely reliable,unlike the last run of Defenders.......

Now i gotta find a rock to hide under

Unfortunately,you don't have to look far on here to find issue after issue

And there is also one in my sig

Congrats on the new purchase.

So how about some drive by the pants comparisons with the TD5.

I’d be really interested to hear your comparison btw 76 Tojo and Defender. What were your deciding factors, other than better aircon, over low km Puma? How does it compare driving now?

It has had a Jmacx rear coil conversion and GVM upgrade!
also fixes the narrow rear wheels track issue😉.

All done by previous owner.

Amongst a few other things😎

Why penalise the short wheelbase brigade?
If it can fit under the bonnet then stick it in😀
