A RR is too noisy so you want a Defender?? I love mine, but quiet it is NOT!

Misses was pleasantly surprised how nice the D110 was!!! and quiet compared to my TDi Rangie with 3" exhaust!!!

she just remembers driving down to the beach in my old Series vehciles - effectively known as "titty wobblers"

So when she got into the nice TD5 and it was relatively quiet and comfortable

Your not trying to talk me out of another Defender are you?

listening to the roar of your exhaust mark i reckon a defender would be quieter..........but if i was you a would go and fit alot more sound deadning to it anyway, maybe do what phil has done ad spray the lot with that liner stuff

Mark,

ECU's on 2002 models can be upgraded. If you get it done with Bruce Davis it will be a chip replacement compared to the 2003 and upwards models that were "flashed on". Not sure what Mike does.

As noted the 2002 model still has the Salisbury rear axle which is arguably stronger than the rover one. I suspect you will maxi it anyway so no big deal.

What the hell is a mudpod? Ipod mounted under the chassis perhaps?
