    New Defender reliability??.

    Howdy, Just for interest sake i was wondering how the later defenders were shaping up in the reliability stakes, A bare bones Toyo is not to far away in price from the deefer, so its gotta be a concern.



    Cheers Sumo

    Compare apples with apples!

    A bare bones Tojo doesn't have A/C, central locking, electric front windows, ABS, TC, constant all wheel drive, alloys, split folding rear seat, inertia reel centre rear seat belt... and costs about $10,000 more

    Oh and my Defenders been very good. Better than a lot of the new Tojo's we have at work.

    Or to take it one step further, lack of a decent dealer network.
