I have had my Defender 110 (200 TDi) for eight years now and have driven 75,000 miles in it both on and off road. It was built in 1990, has 160,000 miles on the clock and is still going strong (it... more

    5 Stars Who said 4x4s were gas guzzlers? 13/11/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Classless, environmentally friendly, excellent investment.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It leaks, build quality, dire heating and ventilation

    I have had my Defender 110 (200 TDi) for eight years now and have driven 75,000 miles in it both on and off road. It was built in 1990, has 160,000 miles on the clock and is still going strong (it has never let me down, albeit with 6,000 mile service intervals). It will still cruise at 75mph on the motorway and return 32 mpg, whilst being able to tow three tonnes and carry another one tonne. Find me any other van or van based car that can claim this and be so durable. When environmentalists moan about SUVs, they only look at one thing: the conspicuous consumption / status symbol that is ... more

    4 Stars beware maintenance 20/03/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages a great off-roader and general utility vehicle

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not as easy to maintain as it should be

    Overview: The diesel engines are very powerful, the off- and on-road performance great, but don't buy one of these if you think - as we did - that they are super-easy to maintain or repair. We bought a second hand 110 two years ago because we wanted the usefulness and security of a big car / truck (very few people cut you up in one of these things). Ours is a Turbo Diesel has a recently reconditioned engine and genererally runs well. On long journeys it does around 40mpg and since it runs in 4 wheel drive all the time it has excellent road-holding on the worst rain-soaked, pot-holed roads. Off ... more

    4 Stars Landy's the best 4x4's by far? 08/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A tough vehicle, by far the best working 4x4

    Disadvantages Disadvantages suffers mechanical break downs

    I drive the 110 12 seater Land Rover Defender TDI for work, and have driven the Defender 90 previous to this as well. One question people have is which is the best 4x4 vehicle to get? This all depends on what your use for it will be in order to find the best for your needs. If for example your a farmer or landscape gardener, and it will be solely used for humping equipment around, sometimes over difficult terrain, this vehicle is the one you should go for, provided you have the right type of tyre on. Let me explain what I mean by this, I worked on the beach in a defender 90 as part of my job ... more

    5 Stars Dont be put off by V8 04/12/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages V8 power and speed (even for a land rover!), road presence

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can use a lot of fuel - but not as much as you'd think

    Many people who are looking to buy a Lnad Rover shy away from the large V8 engined machines because of the running expenses, but with a bit of careful tuning and care, reasonable mileage can be got out of the large engined vehicles. My V8 110 has it's engine reconditioned 2 years ago and gets a 5000 mile oil change and i'm now getting 16m/gallon in town, which is not great i'd admit, but when it runs out on open stretches i can get up to 35m/gallon, which i think is a perfectly acceptable mileage for a brick on wheels. The main compensation of the V8 engine is the power and speed. Off road the ... more

    4 Stars Simply the Best 26/09/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Brilliant all round car, can be ran cheaply, best off-roader around

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Used to be percieved as uncomfortable

    The Landrover Defender 110 has always been seen as a farmer's car. However in recent years, it has taken off with all the new 4x4s. The Defender is the one and only 4x4. It is the original and the best. Problems with previous models have been fixed by Landrover. The image has been updated and it now has a sleeker look. It is now chic to drive a 4x4 even though most people never venture off-road. The Defender 110 can easily be converted to run on gas and this means vastly reduced running costs. The main fault used to be the comfort, however now the Landrover Defender range has been updated and ... more
