Hi,
I'm planning to drive across europe down to africa, destination is very likely to be Gambia.
I'm gonna buy my first land rover for the trip, a Defender 90 or 110 (I haven't decided yet). I don't know much about landrovers but I'm trying to learn a bit before i buy one.
I have a few questions and if anyone could help me, it would be much appreciated.
At first I was looking for a Defender 90, cause it might have better fuel consumption than a 110... and better speed??
I've been watching many different models and years....defender 90 and 110, discovery and range rover, v8, 200tdi, 300tdi and td5...
I was considering a defender 90 td5 (or maybe a 110) but then i read few bad things about the td5 engine and I also heard defender owners saying the best defender engine is 200tdi...
so what would it be a good choice for such a long journey?
Defender 90
Defender 110
Discovery
and what engine?
200tdi
300tdi
td5
*(im not considering a V8 engine cause is petrol engine and also cause is really thirsty, am i right?)
I'm also expecting to use bio-diesel if possible or at least 50/50. How the landys go on bio-diesel?
thanks
all the best
