Miss my D3, never really bonded with my D4. I’ve been given the green light to get a new Defender sometime in the not too distant future, but the strings are I’d have to sell Skippy. Now gone off the idea.

Gareth we were very very close to saying yes on yours BUT we have our very nice defender and the very nice V70 , and I was just to worried about the crank , it would of stretched the vehicle budget and if the crank went , so as I’m getting older I’m leaning to be content in life ( and I do feel very lucky for everything I have in life )

Appreciate your interest Stew. Crank comes with the territory I’m afraid, or I’m sure the D 4 would have been worth a lot more.

Not sure to be honest. It’s scheduled for 15 Jan, but dealer called before Christmas and said it was in the country and on its way to them. Should be any day now, but I’m wondering if tier 4 restrictions will affect it now?
Just sneaked the sale in ahead of our new Tier 4 status.
Looked a great car when I saw it 2 weeks back. Pretty sure RBP won't regret this buy..

Ive been having wobbles lately about my D4 going pop on me and have been looking around at alternatives but nothing comes close...……. then I go out for a drive in it and the big smile comes back. I never fail to look back at her when I park up.
As far as I can tell the only thing I could replace her with is a newer D4 2011 D4 XS 305 MY12 - gone but not forgotten

This is what happens when your own Disco distracts you by running well and you are not on here all the time looking for help and tips. You miss out.
