    Interesting that fuel economy is never reviewed...

    Geez all they did was harp on the fact that the low coolant light kept on coming on.
    They didn't check tyres , oil , and coolant before they left?
    What was enough in town was not enough on a rough trail.
    Geez yanks!

    Unfortunately to the great unwashed, it is little faults like these being thrown up highlight to them how unreliable the new defenders are - particularly in view of the failures of their previous two Defenders and I think this one only had 500miles on it.

    I don't know a lot about the new Patrols but I thought they were pretty reasonable offroad but the one they had did not go well at all in those very easy conditions.

    The Armada and the Patrol have different suspension and 4wd systems, the patrol is the better of the two

    Oh OK - I thought they were the same (Y61?) just with different badges.

    Same looking. Both y62's, very similar, ours is just more optioned up from factory 4wd wise, theirs is more with luxuries wise

    The Defender engine seems very noisey for a petrol, unless its the way the Vid picks up the noise.

    Agree,not much of a test.

    These TFL Wally’s have been buying Land Rovers and criticising them for years. I’ve wasted many hours looking at their vehicle tests etc and only wish I had $10 for every time they used the word ‘unreliable’. Don’t worry; I’ve sent comments about their bias many times. These guys are only YouTubing for the income. The more bias, the more the Americans swallow their words with relish.
    Suffice to say I unsubscribed from their channel.
    Merry Christmas 🎄 to all.
    Let’s be kind to each other in this forum, otherwise users will be driven away (no pun intended).
