You could put a tailgate and lift gate on a Defender. That was what was great about them. Any way you wanted them.

First one in a bit of dirt - It's in Slovakian...so If anyone can translate ... here's the translated description:

Land Rover Defender proves that it is enough to make one and rather a successful model for each century. For this 21st, the off-road is already ready and I am proud that it is produced in Slovakia. Of course, in this video we will not avoid the terrain.

I like the light test for the trailer and was surprised to see it get up a greasy little hill on HT tyres.

Quite a good review i thought besides not understanding a word he said, good to see him give it some stick on the mx track and while towing.

I think they're quite proud to be manufacturing the Defender in their country, rightly so too. Hopefully that pride will translate to product quality as well.

BTW only in those Eastern European countries will you find a benchmark that involves measuring 1-100 times when towing a trailer with a car on it.

why the hell are they selling these with HT tyres?

In Australia they’re not, at least if the spec sheet is accurate. I heard they’re going straight to Goodyear Wrangler AT Adventure but the size is not a standard one.

Yeah bit of a wtf but i was surprised how well it did on those slippery muddy surfaces with road slicks on.

Its possible that the dealer might not know about a run in or low k warning but you would think that would be the first think LR told the dealers about. Anyway keen to see what the dealer/LR tell this bloke going forward.

Cheers

They just posted a follow up, a lose hose was the cause that the owner found himself and the AA and LR assist couldn't find .
