Spain 2001 Defender 90 Td5 SW Epsom Green
Collected something red and black from Yeovil Land Rover - too dark now for pictures Thumbs Up

First impressions on the 20 mile drive home - brilliant Thumbs Up

It is very quiet, does not bounce around like the 2.4 90's I have driven, no rattles, gear change is ... I can't believe it is a Defender Laughing

Only odd bit is the rev holding on gear changes, it will take getting used to.

All I can say is don't believe everything you read about the 2.2's, initial feeling is that it is better than the 2.4.

Excellent service from start to finish from Yeovil LR Thumbs Up

Pictures will follow sometime, going to be busy enjoying it Very Happy

Today my 90 went in for its Charge/cooler pipes to be replaced (its not just a recall on the turbo pipe it's a coolant hose aswell) and for the drivers door and bonnet to be re a lined and a paint defect to be looked at and don't know if its me but since the new pipes and new software I recon its made a difference to the drive as seems to Haag more power lower down the revs Thumbs Up

Put the roof tent up (in the drive) to check all was OK after winter storage and that it still unfolded OK, as we moved it forward a bit from where we had it positioned last year. All fine so stuck the bedding in and folded it all up again!

Next job was going to be the window guards but Dave got sidetracked fitting the rear work lights we bought from Brendan last summer. Good job done and took advantage of a dry day. They seem quite bright in the daylight but will have another look later when it's proper dark. Our blog - http://landytravels.com/
