Yep, just had a check on Defender prices, 'old' and 'new'.......still demanding silly money...If I were in the market for a 4x4 at this moment in time I think I'd be turning Japanese. Yep, I really think so.

Salisbury Plain? its not far from Yeovil

A link might help?

Had a road trip across western USA earlier this year. My brother was after some parts for a 1970's Jap enduro bike. Managed to stop at Bob's Used Motorcycle parts in Phoenix an hour after landing. Mrs was chuffed to bits :D Traditional scrapyard with bikes over many acres, wander round and find...

Only in USA, petrol V8 version......:rolleyes:

I quite like the Rubicon, plentiful in the States, not so here

What about using exhaust heat tape?

Exactly....:), pinch of salt all of them. But I do like the report Volvo produced, fairly balanced lreport ooking at fossil and 'green' versions of their cars.

Looking at the 'company' who produced the report, 'independant'? probably not. Who funds the company who produced the independant report I wonder,.....

That's (another) one of the problems I don't miss from owning a Defender. :rolleyes:
