Great video ... excelent vehicle. I still own one from 1989 with 19j 2.5 TD engine with 161 000 miles. Used mostly for wildlife filming in the mountains. Thanks for sharing.
My 19-year-old brother and I love the Defender. My brother likes the station wagon. I like the double cab pickup truck version (we call it a bakkie, pronounced bucky, in South Africa) as you can have, let's say for example, yourself and your family in the cab and all your stuff in the back under the canopy and when it comes to engines I especially like the 300tdi and the 2.4TDCI engines in the double cab pickup truck version of the defender.
Do I get Brownie Points for saying the route is between Haslingfield and Barrington in Cambridgeshire? This Land Rover climbs the hill a lot better than my old school bus did!!!!
Unfortunately, your keeping your hand on the gear box for a while, I heard it causes problems to the gear shaft because your putting loads of pressure on to it causing it to be broken
That's a myth, as far as I can tell. I've rebuilt a few gearboxes and looking at how they work, you could cause some wear to the ends of the selector forks where they engage with the synchro hubs if you pushed or pulled the gearstick really, really hard for a long time with it running in gear, but resting your hand on it won't do any damage at all. You'd have to try really hard to cause any damage. Vehicles I've driven like this show no wear to those parts after tens of thousands of miles.
It's a long time ago so I can't remember whether it came from the gearbox or transfer box, but it never changed in the 70,000 miles I drove the vehicle so it can't be that serious. Anyway, all proper Land Rovers have transmission whine :-)
@@finbarrdolan I have had my TD4 since1997 ,now with 132 Km on the clock. Without fail it will use 10 litres per 100 Km , which is just about 28mpg., so you are spot on.!

my dream car
I had one and sold it like an idiot. I was young. :-)
Mine as well
I have one since 1996 and it´s still my favourite car :)
I wanted this car since I was 8 years old!
Only a car guy will understand the satisfaction of the sound 🤤
I actually really like the Land Rover Defender 110 CSW
I want one!
Mikey Cowley gets into his Land Rover Defender 90 van getting ready to leave Bath for Warwickshire.
Nice. Loved it.
Awesome thanks
I have owned more than 17 Landrovers. Just got a new disco but don't like. I wish I still had my 2A

Well spotted! Yes, you do get the brownie points :-)
martingump ha ha I was gonna say the same thing.
There's a fair few cars gone through the church wall at the bottom of that hill.
I Love it!!!...😍✌🏼✌🏼
Cool video. I wish they sold these in my country.
+zhbvenkhoReload which is your country?
+Gustavo37137 the USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

In the US if cars don't have things such as airbags and stuff, they can't be sold.
Well you can buy one that's 25 years old or older, because then it's considered a "classic car" and doesn't need to be within regulations like that.

Please make more video.

What was your top speed there ??
What do you think about the gear box noise slightly noticable at 2:10? It changes a bit when you engage 5th gear....

Hi are you recommend a defender for use at city?

I get an average of 30mpg around town in mine, not too bad actually. My neighbours get 12mpg from their 1.2 Peugeot petrol.
