Land rovers are great but their not nearly as car like or comfy as these.
I think what he's getting at it for £2.5k you get a shitbox 2.5 non turbo defender that won't see it's next Mot or even worse a disco that if you listen carefully you can hear the chassis rusting!!!
These are IMO the best value 4x4's out there in terms of performance/reliability etc.
Don't confuse this model with the earlier boxy shape ones that literally can't go round a bend over 50mph,this was the first merc owned model produced and the difference in quality really shows.
Apparently theres an easy mod to make the box 5spd instead of 4,just needs a flash code or something?
