Land Rover Defender 90

We all know that the Land Rover Defender is the ultimate utilitarian off-roader. But what's it like as an everyday road car? You have a large turning circle, but it's not as large as the Defender 110. The square corners mean you don't have to guess where the corners are, but it also effectively makes the turning circle larger. You have good visibility, over the roofs of the rest of the traffic. For best visibility have rear side windows. Otherwise, you can't look over your shoulder to check the blind spot, and you have to be perfectly positioned when turning right onto a road in order to ...  Read the complete review

GRRRRR I am a farmers son and where the hell would be without this remarkable tool. Ever sinch a lord of a Manor brought a JEEP over her and asked for an English version to be built the world has never been the same. WHAT make the landrover 90 so great? Well the design has remain the same sinch the 70's It is practicle, realible and roughed. The differenal gear box makes changing from 4wheel to 2 wheel drive quick and easy even when moving. Unlike other vecials in the same catog. such as the toyota hilux. The bench seat in the front allows three people to sit comfortablity on waterproof seats, compared to a 2 seater. Also the back gives a good ...  Read the complete review

Yes that is how the advertising slogan goes and I am a veteran Landrover buyer and I still beleive that it is true. True the 90 has its foibles but as they all say this gives it a little character. It is rugged tough and yet sprightly, The Lawrence Dallaglio of motoring. Occaisionally it will let you down in a small way but an unexpected way, I recently went over a quarry and everything went well but two days later whilst reversing in my drive the mirror fell off, c'est la vie in a landrover. It starts first time it never has broken down and after 20 years, on my oldest one, there is still no real rust, a few dents maybe, and a few oil leaks but hey, I never ...  Read the complete review

I would just like to say that I think that the Land Rover Defender is just about the best 4x4 ever made, and it's British! Not often we get to say that, eh? Seeing as it is still the same basic beast as it was in 1948, with obvious improvements as technical advances have been made, it hasn't half done badly! I read recently that an army Land Rover was decommissioned after 32 years of service, and is still going strong! Not bad, eh? The Defender is just about the most durable thing on 4 wheels. Anything that can survive being dropped out of planes in parachutes with the paratroopers, is strong wnough by my standards. Ijust can't praise it enough. Also, with ...  Read the complete review

I was looking for a Defender column and could not find one, then I read Timmy's John Deere comment, and found a Landy one lying in there somewhere too. I am also a fan of the greatest off-roader ever, right from the start it was a winner, and lets face it, it hasn't changed much has it? I do not agree that there is room for 3 in the front, unless you are all dwarfs! The pay-load of 4000kg cannot be beaten even by the likes of the Landcruiser Amazon, and the V8 is a beast untamed that I wan't in my garage. There is a V6 2.8 in Some countries, which has a 0-62 of 9.2 seconds, this is nice, but not as good as the V8. The new 2.5 Td 5 cylinder is also excellent, ...  Read the complete review
