Have been running a V8 series3 for the last 5 or so years. It has been great, trips up the beach, Fraser island, Bunya mountains etc, but now I need to mortgage the house every time I want to go away to pay the fuel bill so it is time to part company with the old girl. In a couple of days picking up a second hand defender. I only hope the old girl doesn't get to upset before the deed is done. I am getting sick of only getting at best 5km per litre, plus the rego on a V8 is hideous.
Petrol here is about 93cpl, a couple of weeks ago it dropped to 84cpl and diesel is 96cpl. 2/2/05
And of course hi to all you wonderful landrover owners around the country, love waving to complete strangers who are driving landrovers and meeting up and chating landrovers, reading this site has been informative and entertaining as well. Will pass on my impressions of the defender after a couple of weeks of ownership.
