Okay, I took a couple of defenders for a test drive today... Loved them, apart from I really don't think I could live with the "driving a bus" steering. Would fitting a smaller steering wheel help substantially, or does it still steer like a bus with a smaller tiller? Si.

Hi everyone. I am thinking very hard about buying a defender to replace the wife's Mini (no, I haven't told her yet!!). Eager to learn all I can from this excellent resource!! Si.

Hi all, I am thinking about going to look at a defender. It's a March '90, and I just want to check the engine in the pic below is a 200tdi, not a 19j. Thanks Si (oh, and Hello all).
