That expression may live for a long time if proven right.  |

Can it tow 3.5t? Does it get trashed when you chuck a sick sheep in the back? If I disconnect the battery can I reconnect it without a technician? Will they fit the .99 wiper relay as standard? Willl it let the water out when it leaks? Can i stand on the wings to put my roof tent up? Can i push my mates dead car with the bumper without trashing it? No? Does it come in SWB and LWB, Station wagon and pickup versions? No? Then you can keep it.

It will be able to ton 3.5t and will come in SWB, LWB, station wagon and pickup versions. This much has been made clear for a long time. Darren

Nitra, Slovakia. That may be a blessing in disguise. Maybe the motivated labour there finally will assemble a higher quality product than has been the case at any of the U.K. plants. Maybe Land Rover finally will climb a few steps upward from the bottom of the reliability ladder. But then again, maybe that will be difficult as long as that Gerry McGovern will remain there and more focus goes to his design than to proper engineering. Take a look at the “faults and fixes” section of the D5 forum. Mind boggling.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

Moving Discovery 5 there as well as new Defender means instant capacity gain at Solihull for more Range Rovers and Range Rover Sports, both of which are in demand and hugely profitable. JLR need all the money they can get right now, so it's a sound business decision. Instagram: l90andy

I love the way it is called a "spy video".
On public roads and as obvious as it could be. 
A true spy video would be one that exposed what was under the "look at me, I want to be noticed" camouflage. |
