I recognised the SCUBA location immediately - I dived it a decade ago in Iceland. It's "Silfra" in Thingvellir (best "viz" in the world) and I drove there in my very own Land Rover - the one I still tow RIBs with

Lol, what makes you say that, the built in coat hanger?
At least the interior wasn't designed by Posh Spice (I think...)

Short on space compared with the other models
And getting away from what LR are all about.
My opinion only though others may think different

Looks very freelandish

I can't believe the D3 was created over 10 years ago and still looks modern

If you are going to have a Land Rover then have a Land Rover . If not then get a comfy, economic Chelsea tractor . No point in sitting somewhere in the middle .

I'd av one, it can tow me rib to most anywhere I'd want to tow it, there's enough room for all me rib kit, it's got a heater n comfy seats, maybe ain't got low box but it's got fancy electronics that'll keep the wheels turning on a slippery slip, n I bet it'll be a touch better on the go juice than me 90 is only downside I can see is a 2nd D4 XS will be a better buy ...............

my point exactly once you go away from the the defender for more comfort then all the other 4x4 come into the market . My 110 is top spec heated heated leather seats etc . but it is noisy , draughty, and drinks fuel for fun . I hate it for 90% of the time but grin like a Cheshire Cat for 10% .

Yup same with me I get in the 130 every morning look over the bonnet and grin and the amount of people that look and wave as well.
They built the Evoque for the hairdresser and to take people away from Audi

bottom line is if Land Rover don't build the disco sport, evoque etc then they'll just go bust, they ain't gonna survive on defenders

As said earlier most things about defenders are outside the modern norm - noisy, draughty, uneconomical, not very comfy, few electronic toys. Still love em... Any news on what the new Defender will be like - or what pop "star" will be its executive designer...lady Gaga maybe? Could be interesting 😱

Yup agree there Chris Defenders had its day
I just hope they build something that's usable and everyday people can afford the D4 is getting into RR prices now. With to many toys on you don't need.

that's why I mentioned the D4 XS, got all the stuff you need without going daft, the defender replacement will have to be good for me to be thinking about swapping my 90

Get a couple of Recaros. Job done.

I love my TD5 90% of the time....it's the cold mornings I hate when it takes forever to chuck out a bit of heat!

Came close to swapping it for a TDCI but decided to keep it and treat it to a few 'tweaks' instead.
