Ah well that's the difference, A Freelander will float (or sail :D), Defenders do have a tendency to leak (and sink) :D

I tow anyone... because it's a lot of fun and people try giving you money!! :D

Yeah, you could spend a bucket load modifying a Disco, or you could get a vehicle that can do everything without any mods :D The way I always looked at it, remember the Camel Trophy? - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_Trophy Even when the Camel Trophy had progressed through the years and...

A Defender won't lose any value, in fact only likely to increase in value if you look after it well, Defenders look better (obviously this is down to personal preference), and Defenders are just better at offroading (which clearly is important to you if you're looking at diffs). However...

Personally I use mine as a daily commuter for just running over the fells, to the local shops etc etc (I work from home) - and I give it a big run once a fortnight or so. Which engine is she aiming for? Comfort over winter may be a big point. As far as running, it shouldn't do any harm as long...

That would have been good! Could have gone on a mini-Landyzone cruise ;) Wasdale Head is grand, did you try Strands out in Nether Wasdale? They have a great micro-brewery with some great ales, although i'm a whisky drinker myself :D

Engine looks brilliant!!

Is Bolton really that bad? :P

I'll do that this weekend when I'm down South then, zero mobile signal where I am, about time I asked EE for a Broadband>Phone signal kit :D

What details must be provided? :)

Update to my above post, after towing some German holidaymakers in a 7ton Winnebago out of a ditch on a 30% gradient the other week (successfully), the towrope snapped. On the plus side, I can now handle 10ton thanks to my new towrope!! although won't likely ever pull anything that big :P The...

Going to be missing this, head down to the Peak District to visit family this weekend. Post some pics if you're going (Being at Grange-over-Sands, I expect you will be :D).

Oh no! Really sorry to hear that, not nice no matter how it happens... :( Wish you and your family the best, the Landy's (and us nutters) will all still be here when you're back and ready :) (Then we'll initiate you properly :P) Take care chick!
