Most of the guys who do the talking have never seen the underside of a landrover, and more than likely the only people to see the undersides of their trucks is the dealers they take them to to fix them! I've owned 3 toyotas, and yes they do leak. My work vehicle is a 3 year old 4WD hilux, and the gearbox is covered in oil, which blows back onto the exhaust. My 110 is bone dry from one end to the other, but yes they still go on about leaky landrovers. If it starts to leak, replace the seal, it's not rocket science, just maintenence.

, Nah just better built, and the defender dosen't blow clouds of black smoke towing a load uphill, unlike a lot of jap crap iv'e seen lately. Pick on Toyo day for me. Have had the landy bagged out all week
