That's irrelevant a 110/defender weighs 2 tonne unladen so a 750kg unbraked chipper is way under half its weight.

 

The C&U regulation only effects lighter vehicles that weigh under 1500kg unladen when towing an unbraked trailer

Il have a look tomoz

I will just put this out there about td5s, they don't take to remapping and if you say its been well maintained  local garages dont count and dealerships aren't always great - often saying oh its diagnostics is the answer and people miss the basics, you need a decent reputable garage who specialises only in defenders . Not oh its a defender anyone can work on them/fix them .

mine is a

Discovery 2 and I worked for a large independent Land-rover /off  road specialist for around 7 years. mine is very well maintained.

Fine then but Jose was being recommended a Jimny and I was warning that there may be a problem towing an unbraked chipper with it. I'm out.

Check out Matt Watson from Carwow.

 

He has a few vids on YouTube where he has imported Jimmy 3 and 5 door from Japan.  They look great tbh.

Looked up the towing specs of a new one here, 3door,  braked 1300kg, unbraked 350kg 😆

 

but a mate had a new one, loved it, another had the older one, scary to drive if nearing motorway speeds
