What is it they say about landies? Can't keep the oil in or the water out.

 

I've had a good few series 3's over the years and I did love them all. Reliability was OK considering the age of the vehicles. Never had a newish one.

 

Still quite fancy another S3 LWB pickup. Would get one of them after market heater kits though. I'm not as young as I was then.

Get a Defender, all the other makes of 4x4 are just toys. I have an ex military 109 Series 3 with a 200 Di Discovery engine in it. Love that thing, cost me a fortune renovating it but I really like driving it. Had 3/4 tonne of scrap in the back last year.

I'm liking my current defender, got 275,000 miles on and still going strong. Would agree with the others - buy a cheap, knackred one and it's bound to break down a fair bit. Either spend more and buy a sound one or go cheap and expect to spend a bit replacing bits as and when.

 

IME using genuine LR parts for the important bits is money well spent, a few of the pattern part manufacturers quality is dubious at best.
