Rob, i have been really impressed with the 2.2. it pulls well, cruises well and is quiet (well for a defender) Land Rover are spoiling us
 Its not a RR Sport, but that's good for me though  |

The sport is a great motor but the 90 looks stunning.
What's got on my nerves abit with the current defender I own is the build quality. But I believe new seals have been fitted to the door and the engine is smoother. I guess I should just get a test drive. Was going to ring up today though and buy it before anyone else does. It's in dark blue with svx alloys looks mint better than any sport, and you don't look too rich in front of customers. |

No it's Stafford. They have two a red one and a blue one. It looks darker than Oslo blue tho. It's tinted just needs some black cheqeur plate.

I know I moan about this but Land Rover are completely incapable of keeping stock of spare parts. Compressor (x2) and steering rack are items I had to wait weeks for.
I would think a 90 would be incredibly joggly after a RRS - I really want a 90 but worry it is not big enough in terms of carrying space and also when I have driven one I have found the front to rear pitching unpleasant. I would go for a long test drive on motorways and A road and rough lanes and see what you think. Now a 110 of course, well that's a different matter.....

I am in 110 at the min so ride and refinement aren't an issue. I thought the sport was for me but defender is in my blood, this will be number 10.
The 110 is too big for my day to day life and I have no kids so the rear seating won't be used much. The disco would be the best choice but the 90 looks ace. Just awaiting the back see if a deal can be stuck. The part won't come till June what would they have done if I hadn't spotted it and it was being driven. Would I be in a courtesy car till June?? |

I can answer that. If your car is still under 3 years and covered by LRA then yes, LR will provide an Enterprise car (and you could probably moan and get a D4 HSE, I did). If your car is on an extended warranty then you get a car for a week then it is up to your dealer. So I have had HSEs from LRA/Enterprise then when D3 was in extended warranty I had an Enterprise/LRA HSE SD4 FL2 (yuk) for a week or two and then a FL2 SD4 XS (even bigger yuk) for 3 or 4 weeks from memory.

Well the dealer says sport will be fixed in two weeks now. The 90 is a demo and can't be sold just yet. Going in Monday to sort it.

Ok you could buy the demo, i just did , it's a 7 week old one mine and all they are doing is issuing invoice when it becomes 12 weeks old to over come this problem but you need to pay in full without finance
Sorted, it had with 600 miles plus it came a big SMILE which I can't seem to get rid of This might help Good luck Lee It's good to be back from the dark side DC110 -2012 Black with black hood and black x-tech FFRR 4.2 vogue Renault traffic auto PT crusier convertible Laika x700 Motorhome |
