The good thing in a diccussion like this, is that, when the other side starts flining insults .... you know you have won!!!!!

I Love LR , and had one, still read LR world etc ........ But we have to live in the real world........ Not up a tree with a tent on top... that what hotels are for

L200 IS BETTER FOR EVERDAY LIFE .......

LR WILL BE UNCOMFERTABLE, AND NEVER USED TO IT FULL POTENTAL ........

L 200 tows 4500kg no problem !

TO DHIL DAVIS

I have a L200 45k on the clock, I have put oil and diesel and filters in to it ... and thats it .......MY disco in 30K cost me 1 clutch and oil seal(oil seal leaked ) 1 clutch fork, 1 steering damper , 2 wheel bearings , 1 slave cylinder ........

2 X FICHTS 400hrs ... about 30 plugs , 4 sets of anoides , one ecu repaire.

BACK TO LR .... Just face facts ... you Brits cant build cars , jeeps or trucks for peanuts, leave it to the Germans and the Japs

:

But RIBS.... now thats a different story !!!!!!

Get way with you!, you're well informed, perhaps you'd like to tell Ford's advertising department who have been (and still are) claiming it's the best selling SUV for THIRTEEN YEARS IN A ROW

Care to explain this comment? Your original intimation was that I'd bought an early model Explorer with out your extensive knowledge. Would you like to tell me were you got that Idea from?

Can't believe I have missed this thread - until now - prob just as well.........

Has anyone actually mentioned resale value in 3 years???

I have also been looking at getting a new TD5 110 CSW - not as nice as a double cab which can look well smart when tricked up a bit - but more practical for me!

I looked at s/h values and even at say 3 years they are still really expensive - so much so that it makes far more sense to buy new! A Defender holds it's value like no other - I really was suprised.

Quite agree with all the comments on leaf springs - only vans and lorries use them these days although the Yanks were still using them on the corvette until quite recently - says it all really!!!

Mate has a Warrior and neither of us is impressed with it - he only gets about 20mpg and he was forced to admit my 1987 110 CSW rides better - it is obviously also quicker and quieter but then it is a V8!!!

To be honest after using my V8 the diesel was a bit dissapointing and as I only want it for a long distance tow vehicle for my RIB I have decided to get a Discovery and keep my 110 for offroading.

Akershally I think the Exploder is the best selling SUV in the US. (The best selling vehicle overall is the Ford F150 Truck). It is a bag of shite though as most American built vehicles are. Apart from the engine which is built in Cologne! Mate of mine has one, his second actually. Only saving grace is that the first one saved his life when he managed to flip both car and boat & trailer on the A127 at 60mph!

As for towing. Dan (TBD) must be getting a monster RIB if he needs more than an L200 to tow it

Unless he is aiming for the Phil Davies "Towing vehicle massively out of proportion to boat" chic!

Still I think Dan should get the 110. And wait 12 weeks for those Solihull craftsmen to delicately assembly it with a lump hammer! Process repeatability? Not with that panel fit my son.

Speaking as an ardent fan of my 110... I have to agree with you..

.. 'cept my panels are a perfect fit.......where they touch, anyway...

RICHARD........ Some people would agree with Jono ....... but others wouldnt .... so JONO could be half right.....

LR the only new jeep you buy with oil leaks..... and they dont charge you extra for them !!!!!

All LR owners know everyone in the garage by there first name,.... and all the local recovery people.......... In fact they can be seen drinking tea in the waiting area, quite often ...

ONE MORE piont.... My sister lives in the back of beyond's in scotland..... everyone drives a subaru awd....... when they first moved there they bought a 15 year old one with close to 200k on the clock ......£700 job( even his sister is a pikey!!) it never gave any trouble for 2 years until the snow plough couldnt see in a pile of snow , and drove over it..... and the local subaru garage is 60 miles away !!! LR has a garage 12 miles away ......GO FIGURE THAT ONE !

If you towed 4500kg with an L200 you should be locked up before you kill someone

Daniel TD5 · 17 September 2004, 18:48

how much will it be worth in three years i don,t care
its a company truck and we only kept the last one two years
we got 10k which is only a lost of £2700 a year
not bad at all when i got a disco Td5 for 14k at three year old
list was £27800 big lost

Couldn't disagree with that one! Last week, the courtesy car people asked if I wanted it delivered to my works... as usual?

Yeah I use to do it at about 4-5 times a month ... you know, moving diggers around.. not on Motorway I might add , and not over 35 mph

Have now bought a truck..... because my luck was going to run out sometime... It was OK thought.... stoping was the one to watch thought..... I Park my digger in a yard with a 300 yard 30deg slope out of it..... and no distance to get a run at it... L200 pulled it up everytime..... low ratio though.
