MSE - you wait until someone steals your Defender and it drives through an ANPR camera - we find more stolen cars through static ANPR sites than ANY other method. My blog - www.anacreinhampshire.blogspot.co.uk
110 TD5 BuildHERE - sold! 110 Tdci Build HERE - sold! Passat Alltrack - 4x4, auto, 45mpg, gloriously comfortable - but not a Defender! |

I know what ANPR can do, i work in that sector - but I still dont want it. If someone steels my defender other countermeasures could/can/will be used, people stole cars before. Mike |

If your car is stolen and have no means to find it...it means a few things: A...you haven't got an adequate alarm. B...you havent got a tracker. I do understand all this costs YOU money but at the end of the day it is YOUR vehicle. UK has turned into a state of 'My fook up, goverments problem..winge..winge..winge'.
The only people stealing a Defender will do so because they know what they are doing....not for cheap thrills. Therefore they will be going down the route of changing plates, sticking it in a trailer etc. Loads of them now use frequency jammers to try and block tracker signals....someone going to those efforts won't make week one day one mistakes. Just a last point on adding to fuel.....why? it is only screwing over everyone who lives in UK. I am off to Germany in May and before I go I will be fitting a extended fuel tank (extra 45 litre) and will have about 4-6 jerry cans in the tub for when I come back.....that all in all will be aprox 240 Litres...I will pay £96 for that....instead of £288 (at £1.20 a litre), so imagine UK adds another 20p a litre making it £366......I will be saving £240 each journey (about 4-5 times a year)!...You think they will make up £1200 in port taxes? The system will be cheated soo much. Glyn  |

Bought some 'bling' for my Land Rover today cost me £435....
Looks brilliant, a shade of pinky red that doesn't clash with the Stornaway Grey or the black container that holds it. Karl Fekete summed it up brilliantly...."It is indeed an expensive price to pay just because you have some windows in the back!" Never a truer word, it doesn't sit well with me but I still love the vehicle today possibly even more than when I first got my fat ar5e in it 18 months ago. May take the tint film off my windows and use it as a mobile greenhouse, one decent cannabis plant will provide me with two years tax by my reckoning.  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

I love my XS90 enough to have swallowed the tax bullet. But will the Tory-LibDems hike up the tax to obscene levels? I reckon £450pa at least is coming. This year was the first I've bought 12 months, rather than 6 months. I wanted a SWB from the start. My insurance is almost half my road tax. Ironic maybe. One point, its not £435 for a non-commercial Defender. Its £230 more than for a commercial. Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender |

it's only money !
the chap that bought my td5 told me it was loads more in Eire, €2000 ... that's more than UK road tax + Swiss road tax + Norwegian road tax, so the UK is good value really 
where is the most expensive road tax in the world ? |
