I thinks it’s quite humorous watching some one who doesn’t know about Land Rovers try to explain a Defender to me lol cool video, glad you can appreciate the quirks of such a vehicle.
Great video. The Defender remains a popular genuine utility truck in the UK despite being basic. However, its very simple to repair and many are kept well into old age. I drove them when I was in the territorial army and they are so robust. The wide pedals at your feet is to allow the driver to wear big heavy boots etc and they don't rub against each other. Driving style really changes when in a Defender. Well done for doing something different :-)
These cars are everywhere here in the UK and there is a huge community for defenders no matter what engine you have Tdi, TD5, TDCi Puma (Ford transit diesel) or the V8
It's a cool vehicle!...Our Lotus dealer just recently became a used Land Rover Defender retailer (90s and 110s) and has a dozen for sale on the lot (mostly from the 1990s). They all have been refurbished and are in great condition. I like the fact that they are very simple inside, well built and what I read was that the diesel gets 28mpg which is amazing for it's size. My only hesitation on getting one would be the performance. I think around town it would be fine, but I read the acceleration is glacial and would make me think twice on getting it on the freeway with all the maniacs on there. The UK made/makes a lot of cool vehicles.
Just the sound of the starter and engine - so many memories - my dad had a 1989 version in UK for the farm vehicle (and teenager social use...!). It was the first vehicle I was allowed to use alone to visit friends/go out. Great to hustle over rough country lanes. Good times and great tool. Ours was a 110 commercial 2.5 TD - missed out on tdi by 1 year - still quite talky and responsive unto 60mph. It has characterful turbo whistle - not convinced that was the direct injection tdi , it sounded like the td. Thanks for the upload.
I love those cars! I actually learned to drive in them, and I took the exam in this car, same color and all 😂. We're still driving with it, our car is about the same age as this one and we know what we drive, it's a workhorse ❤️❤️
Someone with sense just seen 2 reviews on the the new defender, Richard Hammond's review and some asshole off top gear, least said about the latter the better, such a prick, anyway the new defenders are nothing more than Chelsea Tractors, I chuckled at the 25mm kerb test at 25mph, really wow. I know for a fact that any serious off roader or expedition driver wouldn't even consider using the new Defender for anything other than a trip to the local grocery store.
@@aaaaeeeeffffeeeekkkkssss and dyson and ARM processors ,the very thng that powers all smartphones ,and RADAR and electric motors and many many other things
Tdi is bulletproof. Same for the later TD5 which is the engine that replaced the Tdi. The TD5 is a 2.5 5 cylinder diesel. There was 2 power outputs for the Tdi the 200Tdi which was the lower powered engine and the 300Tdi which was higher powered
Some advice for changing gears in a Landy, slowly press the clutch, pop the lever out of gear and then smoothly put it in position (two part motion) and slowly release clutch again. Its still a farm vehicle, not an Mx5 lol
When I was growing up, my parents main driver was a 1987 defender simliar to this but shorter. The bench seat pads did extend all the way through the car, and there were 3 seats in the front. Memories.

@@oscarlainz Ya te digo, he flipado un rato, menuda casualidad. Este land rover lo veía de crío llevando sacos y leña de un lado a otro. Como cambia la vida. Y seguro que al guiri este le costó un pastizal.
You should take it off road, as a daily driver it's a good vehicle I own a 300tdi 110 county station wagon for 9 years and love it, I believe the defender you were driving is in fact a 200tdi, the 300tdi were produced between the years of 1994 to 1998, I have the early 94 model no EGR, you can't drive a defender without taking it off road where it belongs. Good video though and glad you enjoyed driving a great British Icon. A Landy owner.
Also my I recommend form a British Land Rover enthusiasts, that when turning on the car that you turn the key to the first position (doesn’t start the engine) that will change the engine ( then one light will turn off of the dashboard) then turn it fully in (starting the engine). This will improve the life of the engine.
Stephen Miller yes but no , I doubt Land Rover would re tool the entire factory back to the defender production in Solihull , I think they want to move forwards with less labour intensive and more technologicaly advanced vehicles, I own a defender and love it I just don’t see it being possible, it’s a sign of the times I’m afraid , no air bags is also a big factor
@@jamesclarkson3009 You right, it´s a 200TDI (the Defender version with the high positioned turbo, and low manifold, so must be original), a big step forward from the Diesel-Turbo, and basically same motor than the later 300TDI. Everybody says that´s a great engine (even with some advantages from the 300TDI, for example the water pump is bigger, and stands in a lower position, so it could be less affected by a coolant lost), But the big problem with 200TDI is that were build for a short time (only 5 years 89-94), instead 300TDI was built almost ten years, first in England, and later on (when TD5 came) in Brazil where the rights were buy by a company named MAXION at that time (later bought by other engines company named MWM) and built in Brazil for many vehicles, so it´s much easier to find parts for the 300TDI (for example the cylinder-head are no longer available for the 200TDI). The good news is Spain Land Rovers are almost rust-free, and this vehicle looks very clean and nice (that Defender never work, or been in real off-road), but the fact that has to be imported and all-that-jazz, turns into... lets say not cheap...
Tarragona plates lol funny to think that someone cruised around Delta de l’Ebre or Priorat in this brand new Land Rover in 1993 and thirty years later it is in another continent still running and in perfect shape.
Here 8n the UK you could get the 90 (short wheelbase) which was a 6 seater or the 110 (long wheelbase) which was a 10 seater!!! 90s where a 2 door and most 110s where 4 doors at least in the UK
Thanks for making video! I have been looking for one for a while now. Well, you are the only one ever said defender is smooth and comfortable! Maybe you have got a Defender virus as well? That particular one has combination I want to get! Nice colour! But 40000usd! Very crazy price!
I've managed to come across a '97 5 door 110 with a 300TDi engine while I'm overseas. Is there a high demand for Defenders in the US? I know they're pricey back in the states, but do people actually buy them? Thinking about bringing it back and selling it for a little bit of a profit.
Would I have a Defender as a daily driver? yes, and I have had 1 for 10 years and will never sell it. my Defender is a '94 Model 300TDi 110 County Station Wagon, this one I believe is a 200TDi, they are great off road and take a fair bit of getting used to, the driver seat position is very good, very commanding view of the road, the early defenders were basic mainly because Militaries world wide wanted a vehicle that could be repaired in the field with minimal electronics (basically TDi's or Naturally Aspirated versions only) very nice to see the younger generation appreciating a purely mechanical monster. try sitting in a car and seeing one in the rear view mirror :-)
That's cool to hear you have had one for that long! It's something I don't really have much time with and rarely see them so it was cool to check it out! Definitely a much different driving experience and type of vehicle than I am use to, but I can appreciate it!
and we think they're pricey here in the UK, can't beleive how much they're going for in the states! good old proper landrovers rather than the electronic luxury models coming out nowadays, Keep them maintained and treated with mechanical sympathy and they keep going!
I didn't know, till recently, new ones of these were illegal in the US. I think we took these beautiful utilitarian masterpieces for granted everywhere else in the world, pretty much everyone must have driven one at some point.
10:52... i can’t unhear that moan right there.... lol but Defenders are so cool! Hopefully I will get my hands on one soon. As of now, I own an even older Landy and love it!
Dope video, it was really good to watch, like you said it’s more a bus then a truck 😂 but tbh I wouldn’t mind owning one if I ever get the chance because I have ridden in some and again like you said, it is a experience.
I think its funny how americans pay loads of money and cherish them when over here in britain many people daily them and you can pick one up for about 5k
For us, and vehicle like this isn't common at all. Very rare to see. Just like over the pond, you guys see GT Mustangs and think they are special sportscars. Dime a dozen for us LOL. All about the amount of vehicles in the area. If they are rare, they are rare.
It’s cringe how I’m British, my dad has a defender 90, he’s American and speaking how he like knows everything and trying to explain about a British car if you know what I mean, I just wanna give him advice 😭😂
Cautious as to why it should br right hand drive. Land rover sold these all over the world. So lhd and rhd depending on the market needed. Speedo is likely in mph because someone changed it for the usa
My 110.... all wheel drive - no diff lock by default. The diff lock is for locking the center diff. This guarantees drive to both axles but does not lock either axle. I accidentally tested this out by putting a tire chain on opposing tires (one front and one back) while on ice/snow. I locked the diff. Only the chain-less tires spun and I did not move. My plan is to replace the diff on each axle to air-lock diff's.
They are permanent 4wd but you need to lock the diff when doing proper offroad stuff otherwise you'll get stuck pretty quickly. Good tyres are important. Locking the diff basically makes it like a part time 4wd in 4wd.
Jealous man, there’s a local car dealer here in my home town that has one for sale, but’s it’s a 1989. It’s the short wheel version and has the rear tire mounted outside on the rear bumper and it might have a aftermarket lift on it or cube the aggressive tires he has on it but seems to sit a little higher than this one. I believe from its Europe which I hear they have horrible rust issues but man he’s asking 26k for it and if I had the money I’d still buy it. Mainly for the cool factor.
Tex Yoda I know what u mean I have some Insa turbos and a 3" lift on my 89 110 with a fairly solid chassis and bulkhead but here in Scotland it would only cost about 8-10 k
You'd pay 5-10,000€ here in Ireland for the 110 in the video even in its immaculate condition without rust. Most of them here are in good condition with minimal rust, but in all honesty LR used better steel in the 90s than any other years because the most defenders that are surviving the test of time are from the 90s here and the chassis generally is absolutely perfect, mine was and so are a few lads I know, compared to later models
Phoenix C I highly envy u it's getting very difficult to find rust free ones here mines on a galvy chassis but most of my mates either own very rusty ones or are on the market and for a decent price u will get some rust and a lot of them are younger than my 89
@@euanmcg1748 yea for sure mate, we only began using salt in winter on the roads within the last couple of years so its kept everything pretty sweet, you'd easily buy a tdi here in good nick. My 95 had 2 chassis holes but the rest was very strong, even the footwells strong as anything. Was a hole under the windscreen that wasn't too kind to the bulkhead but I've since got it welded professionally and now I've a nice straight 95. But as I said you'd buy a decent tdi here, not many totally rotten ones
Phoenix C I really do envy u mate here we've been using salt on the road for donkeys years now and it has some affect on the life of a car when I bought mine all the outriggers were rotted to the point of no return the chasis reminded me of Swiss cheese ,the sills were flaking off ,my rear crossmember simply fell off at one side during the night fuck me I was confused that morning and after that I'd had it I had been saving up for a galvy chasis and just done it left it in the shed for a week then mounted the new chasis crossmember etc now as U can c in my profile pic she's going great
These beauties have their own pride.I am not sure the presenter of this video have love towards oldies. Many peole state Machines like this is sounding weird, like bus etc etc..But this engine sound is the music to ears who knows the pride of this car.
It's definitely a unique vehicle and one I have never been in before! It's cool and I can appreciate it, but not a car for me. Doesn't mean I love or hate it, just neat to be able to experience and see where the Land Rover came from!
That's a good question, I just went off of what the dealership told me about the car. I did research on the car and it was a tough one to find some info.
In the UK parts are everywhere and cheap too, economy is pretty good too I get between 27 and 29 MPG for a 3 tonne vehicle, the fact that I do my own maintenance and repairs compensates for the lack of economy, after driving a defender for 9 years I wouldn't be happy with any other vehicle.
Me too. Watched Richard Hammond trying to enthuse over the new Defender!!! Once i'd put down the smelling salts from viewing the abomination, I thought, I need a proper Defender fix. Hear I am.
John Pirie basically ,as a car enthusiast, I would say that Richard Hammond has a very bad taste on cars! He is too stupid to like crap American muscle cars ! I would consider Jeremy clarkson ,who always sees cars according to simplicity,and also has a great taste on cars ! Anyways, I hate the new defender ! It looks very ugly ! And many people argued with me that the new defender is better in off-roading,and they also were claiming that a modern computerised d3 can take down an old school defender !
"This is a 110 model" it's definitely interesting when people who know less about the car try to explain it to you.for anyone wondering it's a perentie which is two door but not 90. 110 is 5 door
I have a 1995 defender TDI 110
I went to Africa several times with that car, never gave me any problem. I think I'll keep it till I die.
Great! Love it

RoverWolf probably referring to centre diff lock light
My 110.... all wheel drive - no diff lock by default. The diff lock is for locking the center diff. This guarantees drive to both axles but does not lock either axle. I accidentally tested this out by putting a tire chain on opposing tires (one front and one back) while on ice/snow. I locked the diff. Only the chain-less tires spun and I did not move. My plan is to replace the diff on each axle to air-lock diff's.
Interesting
They are permanent 4wd but you need to lock the diff when doing proper offroad stuff otherwise you'll get stuck pretty quickly. Good tyres are important. Locking the diff basically makes it like a part time 4wd in 4wd.
They are not all wheel drive defenders are and always have been permanent 4 wheel drive
Brick comes to mind.
Lol!
launched in 1983? try 1943/8.... different models, same name...same design.... not correct HP either
nice though
The middle seat is for your terrier :P
lol yeah that's be a great spot for the dog!
The middle seat is for your dog. Duh. Clearly a Toyota and cat kind of guy.
Jealous man, there’s a local car dealer here in my home town that has one for sale, but’s it’s a 1989. It’s the short wheel version and has the rear tire mounted outside on the rear bumper and it might have a aftermarket lift on it or cube the aggressive tires he has on it but seems to sit a little higher than this one. I believe from its Europe which I hear they have horrible rust issues but man he’s asking 26k for it and if I had the money I’d still buy it. Mainly for the cool factor.
Tex Yoda I know what u mean I have some Insa turbos and a 3" lift on my 89 110 with a fairly solid chassis and bulkhead but here in Scotland it would only cost about 8-10 k
You'd pay 5-10,000€ here in Ireland for the 110 in the video even in its immaculate condition without rust. Most of them here are in good condition with minimal rust, but in all honesty LR used better steel in the 90s than any other years because the most defenders that are surviving the test of time are from the 90s here and the chassis generally is absolutely perfect, mine was and so are a few lads I know, compared to later models
Phoenix C I highly envy u it's getting very difficult to find rust free ones here mines on a galvy chassis but most of my mates either own very rusty ones or are on the market and for a decent price u will get some rust and a lot of them are younger than my 89
@@euanmcg1748 yea for sure mate, we only began using salt in winter on the roads within the last couple of years so its kept everything pretty sweet, you'd easily buy a tdi here in good nick. My 95 had 2 chassis holes but the rest was very strong, even the footwells strong as anything. Was a hole under the windscreen that wasn't too kind to the bulkhead but I've since got it welded professionally and now I've a nice straight 95. But as I said you'd buy a decent tdi here, not many totally rotten ones
Phoenix C I really do envy u mate here we've been using salt on the road for donkeys years now and it has some affect on the life of a car when I bought mine all the outriggers were rotted to the point of no return the chasis reminded me of Swiss cheese ,the sills were flaking off ,my rear crossmember simply fell off at one side during the night fuck me I was confused that morning and after that I'd had it I had been saving up for a galvy chasis and just done it left it in the shed for a week then mounted the new chasis crossmember etc now as U can c in my profile pic she's going great
My uncle convert to Nissan 2.5 turbo diesel with few upgrades and infotainment...6 speed auto
Is this reliable or a 1977 Toyota fj 40 will be better is smaller and fast because I want a Humvee but too big for shtf even if I put reliable parts
Spain uses left hand drive vehicles
Gotcha ;)
Just can't decide between a 90 or a 110.
Well I guess it depends on what you can find and what's a better price. And if you need the space
And you thought the tacos got bad mileage....but if you can afford a LR defender then fuel prices really don’t matter.
25mpg in diesel is bad? I'm fine with that in my TD4 - but I dont know how much those tacomas use
Dominik Koch I stand corrected...for some reason I thought they got garbage mileage.
These beauties have their own pride.I am not sure the presenter of this video have love towards oldies.
Many peole state Machines like this is sounding weird, like bus etc etc..But this engine sound is the music to ears who knows the pride of this car.
It's definitely a unique vehicle and one I have never been in before! It's cool and I can appreciate it, but not a car for me. Doesn't mean I love or hate it, just neat to be able to experience and see where the Land Rover came from!
I DRIVE MY 1996 LR D1 DAILY AND MAKE MULTIPLE CROSS COUNTRY 2500 MILE TRIPS - NO BIG DEAL - OF COURSE I'M NOT A SNOWFLAKE
Cool, great to hear! I don't own it so can't drive it like that, but glad you enjoy it!
Solid click and let's sand and dust enter..
Why would a car imported from Spain have a speedo in mph ?
That's a good question, I just went off of what the dealership told me about the car. I did research on the car and it was a tough one to find some info.
I want one
How many you want
If the differential was locked that's bad for driving normal roads and highways
Middle passenger changes gear.
haha interesting. Talk about teamwork!
I feel very sorry for you Americans that have to wait until the car is 25 years old before they can be imported. Very good choice of car.
If that Defender came from Spain, does that mean it's a Santana model?
no
@@ElmerJFudd-oi9kjhow would you know?
@@marvinthemaniac7698 Only if it was built there under lycense.
@ElmerJFudd-oi9kj oh okay. So you're saying this is a left-hand drive Defender that was built in the UK and later shipped to Spain, correct?
@@marvinthemaniac7698 No you did.
Land Rover defender 110 200tdi the best diésel engine Land Rover ever made. And its not 68 horse power!!!
luis mylrs I do agree it's more than 68hp but personally I prefer 300 tdi's
107 hp
I think the 300 tdi is the best. Not saying the 200 isn't good, I just think the 300 is smoother.
Damian Cook agreed the 200 is a good reliable engine but the 300 is too plus a little extra
They don't make engines like that any more😥
Why would it be RHD if it's from Spain?
no
Isn't that Vera's car??
Thats a 90
Sitting in the middle gets uncomfortable after a couple of hundred Miles.
Is it pricey to maintain it lol 2.5 litre or diesel in London !! ????? 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
In the UK parts are everywhere and cheap too, economy is pretty good too I get between 27 and 29 MPG for a 3 tonne vehicle, the fact that I do my own maintenance and repairs compensates for the lack of economy, after driving a defender for 9 years I wouldn't be happy with any other vehicle.
parts are cheap af you can literally find parts on the side of the road
TOO manu memories
its missing abit of vinyl matting i guess
Where? I’m not too sure.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed floor and over transmission
@@mattluszczak8095 It is an old truck.
Ei man, did you get it in Tarragona ( Catalonia )?
How many came here after seeing the new crap defender?
Me
Me too. Watched Richard Hammond trying to enthuse over the new Defender!!! Once i'd put down the smelling salts from viewing the abomination, I thought, I need a proper Defender fix.
Hear I am.
John Pirie basically ,as a car enthusiast, I would say that Richard Hammond has a very bad taste on cars! He is too stupid to like crap American muscle cars ! I would consider Jeremy clarkson ,who always sees cars according to simplicity,and also has a great taste on cars ! Anyways, I hate the new defender ! It looks very ugly ! And many people argued with me that the new defender is better in off-roading,and they also were claiming that a modern computerised d3 can take down an old school defender !
Ackj 375718 I swear ! A defender 90 with a traction controller would be the best off-road vehicle!
Peter cool,also looking at modern cars for a while gives me headache ,except the Ferrari 812 super fast!
"This is a 110 model" it's definitely interesting when people who know less about the car try to explain it to you.for anyone wondering it's a perentie which is two door but not 90. 110 is 5 door
I did as much research as I could on this defender, no I've never seen one before, but did the best research I could on it.
It has 110 hp
The 68HP I said is what I had found in my research, do you know where you found that number?
It has a 300Tdi engine
