Great sounding Defenders out on the net

In my youtube surfing travels, I've come across a number of good sounding Defender clips over the months, and I thought I'd share some of my favourites. They are all in one place then when I'm feeling down, I can slap the headphones on, crank up the volume and have a listen and cheer myself up.

Anyone come across any others?

First up a South African (I think) v8 110 pickup. I listen to this every time I'm having second thoughts about ditching the v8 idea and going with a diesel. You will need the sound turned up to fully experience this:

On a similar path, some more local lads having fun in the mud:

More muddy fun (fast forward to 0:30 for the noise to start):

Possibly the best sounding v8 of them all, so much relaxed power:

This chap is running a strange exhaust system, he's got a number of video's on his channel. It doesn't sound quite like a Rover v8 to me?

A true Italian 'Tune Up'. Exhaust noise starts at 0:40:

A 'drive by' back in the UK. Wonder what his fuel economy is?

A little more sedate this one. What was 'Land Rovers UK' who now seem to be called 'Arkonik' seem to produce some very clean cars, I guess for export to the US:

Again in blightly, a longer on-board sound clip this time:

The Td5 can sound good too though (although mine doesn't with the Alive stainless exhaust fitted, at least from the inside, which I guess is due to the cats being present):

TD5 for the win

I'm hoping my v8 isn't too noisy when it runs

I'll just have to keep hearing the missus burble off up the road in the meantime!

Wind down the window of a 2.2 and it sounds pretty epic!

Proper intake noise too. Noise should only come out of one end of a car! Exhaust noise is just silly

Cheers, David

Indeed, our 2.2s at work make a great sucking noise through the intake which sounds nice, oddly the 2.4s don't do it.

If I may offer something a little more historical you may like these videos, the joy of six...

2012 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 SW Indus Silver

And I thought my 2.2 made such a cool sound because of the aluminium snorkel

. It certainly brings the intake nearer to the driver/passenger´s ear. Makes a lovely sond when accelerating, particularly on part throttle. 1998 Tdi 90 SW,
