    Good Points: Fantatstic torque.
    Comfortable driver seats.
    Can long distance road drive aswell as offroad.
    Better mpg than many other 4 wheel drives.
    Great looks.
    Very versatile usage.


    Bad Points: Rear view impaired.


    General comments: I have owned a defender 110 td5 for a year and half now. It has covered nearly 100000 miles and still drives like a dream. With regular servicing this is a fantatic 4 wheel. Even if not to everyones taste and it's no sports car, but can do a thousand and one jobs for you.

    I have grown up with toyotas and land rovers both are exellent 4x4,s but land rover is tops. funny my father drives a land cruiser 100 vx 4.2tdi and I drive a defender 110 td5. The only thing the land cruiser has over the defender is the 1hd-t 4.2tdi motor over the td5.

    I have had very good experiences with the Defenders I have owned; it is essential to keep on top of routine maintain and this I understand is not for everyone, but if you want a car that has some caricature and over 60 year of history a Defender is for you. I will take the risk in getting angry replies from the many Land Rover fans by saying there are probably better 4X4, from Toyota and Nissan in particular, but these cost far more to buy (in Europe anyway) and are lacking in other areas.

    There is no point buying the Land Rover Defender TD5 with your eyes closed. It's a serious workhorse that comands respect from all who drives it and all who faces one in a narrow lane. No it's not the quickest or most comfortable over long journeys but idea for most occasions.

    I wish the Japanese had built the Land Rover Defender instead. But then they say they did and redesigned it as the Landcruiser! Notwithstanding that the Landcruiser lacks any romance compared to a Landy...Given that I have been slowy rebuilding my landy to what it should be to deal with it's inadequacies.

    I love my Landy but I bought it 18 months old unaware that the motor had been overheated. It went fine for about 50,000km then the head lifted. The head cannot be repaired so the motor becomes essentially a A$24000-(approx US$19000-)throwaway. Unbelievable that they can get away with this. I put a brand new 6.5L Chev diesel in for about the same cost, fuel economy is similar, it sounds sensational and....performance....The Landy is transformed, obstacles that were a challenge are child's play. I ...

    I have owned and driven all forms of Land Rovers for over 20 years and use them as working vehicles & everyday transport, the Land Rover Defender 110 TD5 4x4 are by far the best vehicle for my job as a Tree Surgeon - pulling trailers ( fully laden to 3.5 tonnes), off road use etc.
    Land Rovers are not the most comfortable vehicles for Motorway use, but do cope with it and speeds of 70 - 80 mph are no problem.
    My current 110 is 10 months old & has covered over 20,000 miles working hard within th ...

    There is a known fault with these Land Rover Defender 110 Td5 engines - if something fails and they overheat then the engine is destroyed - literally. Land Rover do not accept any responsibility for these engines after four years or over 60 000 miles (whichever is the sooner). Not exactly built to last. This vehicle had a FSH and has never been abused.
