IanB 0 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I've got a defender 90 TD5, its done over 50,000 trouble free miles so far and takes some hammer... I'm pleased with it, its a hunting vehicle to me, I've had toyotas, mitsubushi's, yes there better on road, but 9/10 mines axle deep in mud, and the same inside... Its personal choice end of the day... I've had a new shape hilux and swapped it for the defender after a few months... Saying that given a choice of allround 4x4 I'd probably choose a Disco 3 or Landcruiser, the Shoguns are good too... The price you can pickup L200's for now is for nowt, I'd be tempted for around £3000, good vehicle once you stick some treads on them for that money... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hily 379 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I work for a motor factors company and in the 4x4 department we sell more landy bits then any other 4x4 and i am not just talking about service bits. While people still buy and own landys i will never have to worry about the credit crunch . MR T POT you know that motor factors can't supply many parts for jap 4x4 and the landy stuff is cheap.Lads who know a bit about motors can keep their landys on the road themselfs .Having said that i have used both and repaird all types at the end of the day it's persanel joice but formost it comes down to what you nead your 4x4 for.OFF ROAD /MOTORWAY/ TOWING/GOODS/POSEING,OR A MIX AND MATCH.For the record i use a 90 T5 and it does the job for me.

Guest alastair Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 landys are good offroad ,its the getting to the mud thats painfull,whats that crazy small gap between the steering wheel (defender) and door all about.if you require a decent offroad machine,warmth,comfy,quiet,reliable all rounder then jap.if you spend more time offroad than on then id buy a landy.when i get stuck in my jap motor i just get a landy owner to pull me out they come running to help,just to prove thier capabilities,so you never really get stranded,thanks to all the kind landy owners Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hily 379 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 landrovers are definately overated piles of shite they have a record of being the highest cost motor to keep running, as they break something everytime they look at a puddle, i get loads of call outs every season to tow out lads that have got stuck lamping, and nearly everytime its a landrover, gutless, uncomfy, cold heaps of junk they are, and there so good off road that you have to spend £5k on one to try and stop it from getting stuck jap moters will piss on them everytime..... Now Lucky we all now that once you bottom any vehicle your stuck even tracked vehicles consider this do landy owners expect to much from them and drive them harder of road than someone with a jap vehicle with good body lines and plastic bumpers.Iadmit the biuld is poor highest cost to run don't think so.! Track rod end landy £12 average jap £30 and its the same for most running costs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
