New Disco 3 still havent sorted them out

[dirtyrex]

Yeah what ever, it was NOT a speed issue, he went around at 50-60 in a corner that I drive around EVERY day at 60-80 .. his back wheels came around and met the front.

AWD wouldnt have done this .. so just Shut the fuck up. :knock:

:w: I'm missing something. What does AWD have to do with lateral grip?

your WRX must have only been in 3 wheel drive mode when it looped itself on the skidpan

Nah the 2007 new model is already on the books in Australia, with a 50k price on them .. if I would have the money, I would order a 2007 model tomorrow.

They are removing the Defenders air vents thou .. not happy about that, but if they kill the defender in 2010 I will be surprised.

i think this thread proves you're pf's new favourite fuckwit, congratulations on rising through the ranks so quickly.. :knock:

Dan I have been here for a loooong time..

But a pot calling a kettle black is pretty harsh..

The problem with you becoming such a defender of the defenders is that when shit goes wrong you won't tell us, and that ruins our fun.

PS - this is where I shredded my tire.

What a load of absolute fucking pile of huge rotting shit. The Defender BODY / Running Gear has not changed in what 47 years .. I can go get a D110 ... any age and slip it onto my 2001 model any time.

I thought that way too until a guy that was pretty high up in JRA (when it was known as Jag Rover Aust) parts side of things were telling me you couldn't buy/remove a door for an army truck from car to car and expect it to fit. You actually had to quote the VIN to get the exact bits to fit properly as they wouldn't fit properly....

Not calling you a liar or anything, but you really think they have measured every door / angle from every one built ? ... thats the only way I think the above statment could be true .. :O

[smellytofu]

Well, there's a blueprint of every part made for the trucks... I'd really like to not believe this but this was one of the problems he was facing when supplying parts to the military.

I'm just quoting what he told me and he's not one to BS about things. Of course things might have changed since then. I don't think JRA has existed for many many years.

Defenders are shit, my uncles brother in law had one, bought new, and was in the LR Workshop more than in his garage, he has since bought a lexus lx470 (?? landcruiser pimp truck) and that goes bush more than you on a $10 hoe

[BigMuz]

They asked all owners of them to pull the sump and oil pump off to check they loctited it together?

Sounds like a rock solid organisation to me. Good luck!

Defender, the Defender defender!

Nah .. 14 engines went bust in the world in the last 2 years, they tracked it back to some engines NOT getting loctite in the bolt that holds the chain on the oil pump.

Seeing MINE was out of warranty, I descided to take THERE advice to check it...

Mine was fine, and I was going a service on it anyway, so it was not an overly huge job.

Not like Holden, ford, toyota etc etc do not have issues... that are all resolved in warranty, but as with mine, if they were out of warranty, then they do not give a rats.
