I reckon the new Defender will have all the sales and after market support in Australia of the present one - i.e. SFA. Still remember ring a LR dealer in Melbourne and saying to the salesman "I want a Land Rover, I live in a remote area and I need an off-road vehicle". You could almost hear him faint, I'm convinced he was talking to the other salesman and saying "Hey I've got some idiot who wants to use a Land Rover off-road, can you believe that"

As for the new Cruiser, this is going to be interesting, 'cause the old ones are kind of electrically stupid (especially a troopy) and the new ones won't be. I believe the troopy will be like the Defender Td5 130 with an ECM and not much else. Be interesting to see how they survive in remote areas.

Not that I am going to buy one, Ill still try to convince the local dealer for a test drive

Reminds me of when in 1997 I had a bit over 6 mths old Disco1 300Tdi hit a really bad pothole out on an unsealed but OK-ish bush road in QLD and really broke about 1/3 off the rim on a pricy alloy [optional LR Genuine] and Jaguar Rover Australia [as the importers/agents at the time] didn't want to pay-up /replace it under Warranty because in their words I "had subjected the wheel and car to unreasonable use,... abused the vehicle .....etc, by driving it on an unsealed road" ......to get them to replace it (and tyre) I had to commence a private prosecution in the Federal courts under the Trade Practices Act (1972 and Amend.s)

My lawyers all kept on laughing about it......all expecting a big laugh in court......JRA eventually settling in my favour before it got to court.......I think they were mainly worried about being laughed at!!

Yep - the 2007 Defender is coming to Australia - both 110 and 130 models- I've paid a deposit for a 110 and have been told late June delivery. It is being "launched" at the Melbourne Motor Show early in March.

The pricing hasn't been released yet - I have been told I'll find out once the model is launched - but the best guestimate is about 1-2% increase from 2006 pricing.
