    No more Land Rover Defender?

    This sucks.

    The Land Rover MD has been quoted as saying that they can’t make the Defender work under future environmental regulations, so they’re going to can it.

    The Defender is too perfect to die, I say. There’s a reason it’s stayed on the market for 61 years already.

    Full story here.

    Just wait until McCoy finds out. You’ll be able to hear the screams of anguish from Manchester.

    I love defenders.
    I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with "not being able to make them work".
    Do it or don't. I've got places to be.

    Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

    I have to say, this was speculated on a few years ago due to the pedestrian safety angle and whatnot. Pile of pish in my opinion, but hey ho.

    if a pedestrian does not see a fucking defender coming along and gets hit by it then they fucking deserved it for not being able to see it coming!! how could they miss it!!
    if people can believe scientists about that there are star constilations millions of miles away then why when they see a sign saying " wet paint" must they touch the object to believe it ??

    My very first landy was a 1976 Series III, horrible hammerite green paint job (not done by me, I might add), white limestone roof, white steel wheels complete with spare on the bonnet. And some muppet still managed to back out of a parking space and right into the front of the Series and had the cheek to get out the car and say they never saw me!

    Happened a couple of times at junctions as well, nothing more hairy than trying to do an emergency stop with drum brakes all round.

    Re: No more Land Rover Defender?

    i'll tell you what's not fun.

    what's not fun is meeting one of these



    on a narrow road at night-time, and realising about five yards before you plough into it head-on at 60mph that's it's four feet wider than you realised cos the headlights are in the middle.

    that's what's not fun.

    Used to have that problem when I owned the Series II. Did'nt help it was still the old fashioned headlamps which were pretty much like driving with tea candles at the front! Although I do miss having a Series.

    Now I've got the Range Rover Classic which is much warmer in the winter!

    Where you from Kenny? There's a landy daft mechanic I use who has a few lying round and failing that would know anyone selling a good Disco.

    Getting me some shiny new five spoke alloys from a Disco to fit onto the Rangie. Or Tom Jones as it's affectionately known as because it's not unusual for it not to work at any time.
