Hi all,
i'd like to try my had at a bit of green laning
I've not done any off road before and the D2 I've got is the family car so that's out.
I fancied a TD5 90 station wagon but don't have the budget, so i'm looking at another D2 TD5. it will be my daily drive to work and I need to at least have a back seat for the kids from time to time.
biggest question I've got at the moment is should I go manual or auto ?
I thought it would have been manual for off road ? as i've never seen an auto defender before, but the more I look, the more auto D2's I've seen used.
is manual a no brainer or have I got no brains

Its personal preference really, both are good off road, I find autos are a bit more civilised for daily driving, can't stall off road and don't have squealing spigot bushes but you do pay a bit more at the pumps.
I suppose you pays your money and takes your choice really.
whichever you choose I doubt if you will be disappointed.

Thanks beerdude,
i'd agree, the auto I already have is a very civilised ride, shame I cant use that, but I did buy it for the wife (sort of)
would you say that manuals have more issues than auto's, they have a duel mass fly wheel don't they ?
Brian S,
I have looked at a few and i'm quite interested,
but I've got to understand the TD5 a fair bit after a marathon session or two on the one I have,
already have a nanocom for it and getting a little extra power out of it is quite easy.
got thrown in at the deep end as this was my first diesel, always been a petrol head before.
but I won't discount the 300.
just got to sell a couple of bikes now.
