Nice truck, though I think those high mounted indicators are an overkill Laughing

We only got the 110 SVX over here, 90 looks a lot better. 110 2.4TDCi
110 300Tdi

Maybe it's just me, but why doesn't your SVX have any of those matt black 'transfers' with the 60 years logo written in one corner? Or does it? Question LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110 XS SW 2.4

It does have the 60 year transfers, just in rain and with dirt they don't show to well, there are pics of the car on the site http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic1178.html

The images are without the light bar on the bar, a later edition for work.

No water inside the car I am pleased to report that I noticed, but to be fair defenders are not the most waterproof of L/R products.

The music to the video is from Crystal Method and was the theme to Third Watch which used to be on Sky, some may not like the music but the beat works for me..

The ford is located in Somerset near to the village of Wookey on Knowle Lane, I have added a link which shows a map, I went back to the ford today and found a discovery old model in the water and he had some issues with a lot of water inside the vehicle.

I made a video of him in the ford personally I decided the water was too dangerous to cross today due to the amount of rain and didn't take through the Discovery 3 I was driving.

Map of ford location: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=...CAoQ8gEwAA

If you need directions anyone let me know and I will try to help with GPS information, the ford is around 100 metres long and not easy to find.
