| So much great info here. I aim to see a D5 in the flesh soon, Price wise the Defender and D5 are on par, and the mechanicals don't seem to vary that much. So for a tow vehicle the D5 is starting to gr ... |

| I like the Dfender, also but if there isn't too much difference mechanically then as my main concerns are as a tow vehicle I may go the D5. I still have to check rear axle loading as this has a big im ... |

We have a RRS from 2010 which we kept, but decided on going down the Defender route

| Yes 110 wold be my choice, same as you like the look of the 663 but internally the D5 gets a plus especially the seats. |

I do a bit of corrugated gravel but mainly blacktop ro ... |

Like you Tim I am a researcher first and a owner second. Takes me awhile to make a decision. The SDV8 will take some beating as a tow vehicle.

| Can the oil be changed by extraction like on the Range Rovers? I purchased an electric pump, 12v , which connects over the oil dip stick tube. Run the pump and oil goes straight to waste container. Si ... |

| Since RRS has this engine I am wondering if a new model Defender will sport an upgraded powerplant? |

| I note the Range Rover version of the ID6 has 700 Nm which I think need to be the target in the Defender. A great vehicle that I am interested in as a tow vehicle. More torque make a better tow vehicl ... |

I am really taken by the Defender, thinking it will be my next vehicle after all the Beta Testers have done their work.
I am however trying to find what the engineering advantages of the Defender m ... |
