I love my Defender (2003 110, chipped, 193,0000km)... is perfect for my needs now I've chipped it... EXCEPT...when it comes to heavy towing long distance, specifically horses. Towing 2.5 tonne 4 to 5 hours on NZ roads which aren't the smoothest...not fun.
I have spoken to my service guys who say that the shocks look original, and have an official life of about 80K...so well due renewing, but they're not sure changing them will change my towing experience.
Does anyone else have experience, opinion in this area... or am I trying to make the Defender something it isn't and have to trade it for a Land Cruiser...REALLY don't want to... but long distance towing of the nags is a regular thing so have to decide.
Thoughts anyone?
