I had my Defender two years and 36000 miles, half of which was fast trips across Europe carry equipment. As lovely as it was to drive and be in, I found its practicality limited. The boot was small, I found the rear door affected loading and the opening to the boot was narrow. I did look at a 130 but it's just big with the same issues. As for a D5, it's just not me or us as a family. My wife named the car Noddy becuase she thought it a noddy car because of its lack of practicality

From a technology / day to day use perspective I used Apple Carplay, the winter pack (heated steering wheel and rear seats), the 40:20:40 split seats, DAB, air suspension and low / high range and it helped being EU6. All of those I can have on a D4 with increased practicality.

I know the doom mongers will be commenting on snapped cranks, reliability and maintenance costs etc. but I plan to keep this for five years and I'm happy to replace the engine etc if need be. The depreciation alone on the Defender will pay for a lot of repairs and maintenance on a D4 and I'm not one for having a car as a status symbol etc.

From a man maths point of view I paid £17k for the D4 with an amazing service history and all the known issues fixed and Carplay and a heated steering wheel fitted. I sold the Defender for £48k, so with the difference I'll keep £10k in a savings pot for any repairs and put the rest into either an ISA or my pension.

At the end of all that I get a car that gives me what I want for how I/ we use it as a family.

Anyway, lots of bits for sale.......

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the D4

I think you have cashed out of the Defender at the right time. Their bubble has burst in the last few months. 2008 2.4 110 Utility Station Wagon XS.

D4 is a lovely vehicle. My friend changed his for a Defender 110 but misses the D4 for the same reasons you mentioned.

There's things you can do to reduce the chances of engine failure on the 3.0 V6
