Sounds like the sort of Land Rover you buy new and get rid of after a few years! Reckon you would be mad to sell a galvanised 300 TDI that will last the rest of your life for one of them!

Thats the problem right there. Dont know if I could do it. I love my 110 but when I see a RR my mouth drops. But if I bought one I know I'd miss my 110. Im in a catch 22 ![]() |

the tdv6 is a cracking engine in the D4 and the RRV, the vehicle is lighter than the tdv8 too. i would still have a tdv8 though. Cheers James 110 2010 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |

My take is great to swap every 3 years . Turbo blew on mine at 42 months ouch .
I started to get bored driving it . My change was not due to the cost , it was down to lr bringing out a new sport and 12 month wait for a vogue and not enough discount And the wife said I need a hobby ![]() |

take this with a pinch of salt as I may have this wrong but my brother in law had one and it hadn't done big milage and think I'm right in saying the repair bill for replacement brake parts (consumables) was counted in thousands not hundreds !
![]() I had a loaner recently which had bearly 5k on the cloack and the front was knocking (track rods or drive shaft I don't know) but unless you've got a good warranty to fall back on I suggest your pockets need to be full of £££'s |

Im probably going to ponder over this decision for some time. I cant afford to make the mistake of selling a perfectly good Defender for a brilliant RR that I cant afford to run. Strangely, my wife wants me to get a RR, but then shes always hated my Defender
