Another one who totally agrees. Thumbs Up

A car is just a car, but a Land Rover is different, you sought of bond with it, it becomes one with you. My wife once asked jokingly if I had to choose between my Defender and her who would I choose, quick as a flash my heart said you dear every time ( I did not want a divorce!), however, in my mind I thought Defender!

My wife knows that it is better not to ask that question.
I had to buy it as she said so. She didn't like me off-roading with the Disco 3.

She sometimes complains about the money I spend on the Land Rovers but the I say I don't smoke and hardly drink (at home). Mr. Green Roel

1984 90 2.5 na Diesel - RR V8 (1994-2001)
1997 Camel Trophy Discovery 300TDI (2001-2009)
2005 G4 Discovery III 4.4 V8 (2008-2018) It's gone but it still hurts.

Unlike Defenders... Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

Being putting it off but replaced the egr today. Took about 1 .5 hour. Old one was making a tremendous noise so I've been running with it unplugged for about 2 months and having to reset the mil light constantly.

Changed the fuel filter, filling it with diesel purge in an attempt to stop the knocking noises - after 50 km I think it might actually have worked... Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
