My Pride and Joy
I bought a brand new Discovery 5 when they came out....... there is no doubt it is an amazing piece of technology.

However I never really enjoyed it as I was too precious about it!

Ironically though, I fell out of love with the Discovery when it took on some water when wading..... Land Rover and insurance didn't want to know.... the water didn't drain out on its own and it cost me £4500 to get the water out and replace the electronics that drowned!

I love my defender....its far more me!! So here is my pride and joy.

Well done! I've never driven a vehicle with as much character as a Defender, smiles per mile can't be beaten. James

Just be warned that the defender will probably take on water even without wading!! Laughing

But at least it will run out nearly as fast as it gets in!

I'm sure it would black wolf..... but I am sure enjoying the Defender far more than the Disco5

Cheers

nice colour! I did look at a one in sliver. but it was a little too much cash wise. Sliver or black in a Defender looks the part. Thumbs Up Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back
