 I've often wondered why too, can you let me know the answer?

I had both
 , As a family motor the D3 is better on the road, more practical, more refined...but the Defender keeps me looking back once i lock and walk away, i just love it. You cannot teach stupid people to do clever things |

The reason you keep looking back is merely to double check you've not left the new addition to your family in the back!!! Nowt more I reckon....  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

The rivets have no paint because the panels are painted before they are put together. So they riveted later then not colour. Its a good way to tell if ones had respray.
Two defenders is best way to be one running one in pieces. Been in 110 all morning been waving loads is great, dont miss the d3. Done a 1000 miles in it already |

If you say so I have 3 Land Rovers. A D3 and 2 90's one road legal and a donor. A D3 is a car like a RR sport etc. But a G4 is a Land Rover. If you like the waves you know what I mean.  Roel

I do like your G4. I was very tempted by one a while ago.

Got myself a snorknel this week have to get a rivnut tool now. Got to get it on before billing and get my signs done.
Really thinking about de-cat pipe now after hearing a very sweet sounding 90 hardtop at a show recently. |

Mine sounds well sweet with the decat and performs well too
And a remap is not much better  If you have £500 to throw away go for it , but to be honest you get a tiny bit more power that's it Ask Alive tuning for the decat nice bit of kit grade 304 stainless...

dont you think remaps are worth bothering with. I have been looking at peoples posting on here saying they save about 3-4mpg. So I got my calculator out and and reckon i'd save £800 over the 40000miles I normally keep my landies. BAS has offered to try before you buy with his which sounds tempting. But re-map will have to wait as I need money else where. But decat pipe is cheap
