After 20 years of Defenders, I decided I would like a vehicle with a heater that put out..........heat, wipers that................wiped, you get the picture and bought a TD4 Freestyle 3 door. It has been a superb car, apart from the fuel sensor going kaput in the summer, and during last winter it was a joy to be able to open the door, demist the screen, drive away and put on the heated seats in the same time it would have taken me to actually defrost the Defender lock enough to get the key in!

 

I have never towed with one but it has been a superb all round car and is very impressive in the snow, which we have lots of Newcastle at the moment. As I have recently gone in to the firewood world I have decided it is too nice to spoil so am thinking about a Discovery commercial - but cannot decided on a TDi (cheaper parts,less electronics but old) or TD5 (more comfortable, capable cruiser,bigger cargo area but more electronics).

had one for 5 years. no real problems in that period and as someone said earlier the HDC jobbie does the jobbie. Up a quite steep hill, farmers track, covered in neige last xmas. My mate was in a 130 tipper and I followed him no problemo. Great fun in the snow.

 

Never really towed off road though, so cannot comment on that department.

We got a defender with a 300tdi engine. It was rebuilt a year ago as the cambelt snapped on it. Nackering the valves,head n cylinders. Luckily it happened before we bought it. It has a 3 stage turbo on it so it goes some. It will happily do 80 on the motorways with no overheating issues.

Definitly get the td4 avoid petrol modes at all costs
