"Best cars ever made, i had a Land Rover speciality garage but I am closing down end of the month."
Thats a shame. I do need (honestly) a new front air suspension bag. I usually go to one in town but he is getting quite expensive |

"Not a difficult job, most normal garages should do it at a reasonable price."
Had one quote £250 from a garage in small heath. Thought that a tad expensive especially when he wrote down the bag was only £70 & would take half hour to fit |

There is a "concept Defender"* on the top floor of the Jaguar Experience at Gaydon. Wonder if the Defender replacement will look similar to this and the Defender it replaces?

" but to stay solvent they need the american market which don't like defenders  
I wonder if the British Army replacing the Landie with Jackal has been a contributing factor?
"
They haven't. There are still thousands of Wolves and RWMIKs in the fleet. They are, however, a lot more selective about what they use them for. |

I love them too, as evidenced by part of my screen-name
I had 7 in total
Series 3 88" (diesel)
Series 3 Light-Weight
90 TD
110TDi
90 V8-CSW (genuine factory build)
Discovery 300Tdi
Defender 110CSW Td5
I still miss not having an early 2-door Range Rover, a 101FC, or a Series 1 |

"Am I the only guy to almost cry at the passing of the Land Rover? The last Defender came off the production line recently and I'm really sad. "
Nope, I paint (well, used to paint) the things. Good riddence in my opinion...  |

over priced outdated crap, used to have them here but bought a hilux in 79 and wouldnt have a landy near the place, uncomfortable, twice the cost to buy and bloody unreliable, the reason the yanks wont buy them is they dont meet their safety standards. They typify all thats bad in british industry, build something that is world class and then sit back and never update it for 60 years |

Yet a good 1997 Defender will sell for $150,000 in the USA...
