Nice video Calvin! Love the cinematics! I'm looking to see any good motorway cruisers as I'm doing more motorway miles so my 2007 BMW 116i has a farewell goodbye. I need something that has cheap tax and will soak up the miles with no problem; it must be sporty to drive ( There is a 5 mile B-Road on my commute) . Maybe a Jaguar XE or a 3 Series EfficientDynamics. Anybody got suggestions on the car? My budget is just shy of £18k
It’s a weird British thing Calvin, everyone I know who’s had one Has had one blow up but it’s almost like a coming of age thing amongst certain brits! As for reliability they’re shite, best thing to do is do what the yanks do with them and swap that engine straight out for one that’s proven! Even today Land Rover make great cars that are still hugely flawed especially in regards to electrics! I don’t know why they just don’t get some proven Japanese engineers in-house to make them reliable
I took one in trade in 2016 for a dodge srt10 pickup, the landie had 3000 miles on it, 110csw in black, it was out of production and drove like shit. Put big wheels, led’s, some urban shit and sold it to a Land Rover development engineer who couldn’t get one, he came down in a prototype evoque convertible. Why do people love these? I made nice money on the deal. Happy days
I've got a 2014 2.2 tdci Keswick green 90 hard top and genuinely love it to bits. It's not the best car in the world but I love it beyond words. And its a good investment too.
What??? It's beautiful mate. 90s were 7 seats. four on bench seats and 3 front originally. A better car is subjective. The old Defender can go anywhere and can be repared easily no matter where you are in the world. I have a '97 300tdi 90 and I love it. 70mph no problem. Defenders are hands on.
14:59 “unsuitable for motor vehicles” you absolutely should have gone down there. It’s the defenders natural habitat. Those signs are advisory so Mrs Dorothy doesn’t take her Nissan micra down it. Perfectly legal to drive in a suitable vehicle though.
@@keen2b google galvanic corrosion and you will understand what happens to the bodies. Takes far longer than the steel bulkhead, chassis or crossmembers to rot out though 😂
Despite the complaints about these Defenders people are paying a fortune for them ,I know personally when 4 cars dealers offered me the most rediculous money for my short wheelbase and I could not refuse the final offer as ive got two others.Compared to what I paid for it and what they offered from dealers was mind blowing!
Dont quote me but i think the play in the steering and lack of feel is designed into them for off roading incase you hit large objects with front wheels ie big rocks and steering wheel doesnt jar out of your hands ,thats what i was tol by my sons mate who owns first gen Disco with same chassis
"Hope the mirror didn't annoy you too much" Yes calvin, I demand my 5% of the screen back. 😅 love the variety of cars on here at the mo. Everyday average joe cars and some gems here and there.
Excellent, thank you Calvin! Not want to be a smart you know what, but 80inch Land Rover debut 1948 at the Amsterdam Motor Show. Great industrial diesel sound there :)
Such a cool car the defender 😎 Fantastic family car. Your a transit man I'm surprised you didn't keep and totally murder it out like the 110 Kahn Chelsea truck 🤔
Having driven 130s for the last ten years for work it baffles me why people buy them...😂 drive more than 30 miles and most folk soon get tired of them.
I’d love to have the spare quids to buy that defender man. Yeah you said it was a bit poor, but. In a way it’s pretty cool. Closest thing to a G wagon I guess , for everyday man budget… cool vid 👍
Calv loves the jet wash. Bringing em back alive. Know feeling. from Stockport in the trade. That defender ain’t me. But got time for it. Not too unattractive inside comment lol
If a Land Rover hasn't broken down, it's about to breakdown 😀 Easy to fix but badly built. There is an official 40 page manual on how to fix "water ingress"! Easy to break into and steal, as many are. But, they have some sort of magnetic appeal!
I do actually love Land Rover it’s all I’m driving for the rest of my life my Land Rover defender 90 is a beast of a car and also my Land Rover discovery td5
Another great vid Calv 💪🏻 I came upon your channel after searching for reviews for the X5 and i came acroos your recent video on the X5. Since then ive been subscribed but i still didnt make up my mind on which SUV to buy ive been looking at 2017 X5 40d, Porsche Cayenne Diesel 2017 or Audi Q7 of the same year. Which SUV would you prefer as i have twins on the way and my 373 000 km (230 000 miles)Passat b7 2013 is becoming more and more unreliable by the day so a change must happen. 😁
dont know why people bang on about them so much. they're shocking to drive, terrible economy, steering is wank, heaters dont work, its unrealiable and its as comfortable as getting a colonoscopy with a broom handle. there's plenty that can rival it off road too.
Australia tuning in here - As someone who owned a Defender 110 Xtreme, I was interested in what you had to say about your example. I was told the LR Defender would be a love it / hate it relationship, which was pretty accurate. Even with the 'reliability' factor, there was more love than hate. I'm not quite sure why so many of us love the abusive relationship aspect of LR ownership, but there you go. Mine had a 2.5 Tdi motor under the bonnet & it was the electric that eventually saw me sell it to another Defender fan. For me, and where I wanted to travel towing a 4x4 camper, it was the question of 'when is it going to breakdown again', that eventually said enough is enough. But there was so much about the Defender that suited me living in the countryside on acreage, down dirt roads & across creeks, that I kept on creating excuses for it. Question - Did you figure out what that odd thing is that's poking out at the base of the windscreen?
In the next episode of diary of a car trader...I stalked the driver until he ran out of petrol and now I own a J reg MK2 Golf! Calv, what's the latest on PoD and the M3 Tourer project?? C'mon bruh, give us a little something!
Calvin when are them braces coming out. It’s like you’ve got kitchen cupboards in your mouth. Loving these vids about the runnings of the dealership. Keep it up 👍🏾

Calvin, that 110 is an ex JLR engineering vehicle. All VX plate cars were engineering fleet. That car started life rough and still is rough.
Unrelated question.
Do cars in Britain get a License plate when they first hit the road and keep that plate forever?
@@OKANGUVEN99 unless they are given a private registration, yes.
The Prototype/Press Pumas were all VX07 too, I’ve certainly never seen a factory build with a EPB so definitely has a interesting history!
@@OKANGUVEN99 NO
@@OKANGUVEN99 Yes.
Greatest off road vehicle ever. Always in the workshop getting fixed.
The thing inbetween the wipers is the windscreen washer jet has snapped off & they have used a bit of pipe instead of fitting a new unit 😂

I drive an all-black 2005 SWB Defender and I absolutely love it! Wouldn't drive anything else!
I’d have that over any suv any day much better 4x4 not to mention way cooler IMO
Let's gooo defenders look quite good for being quite old.
1958
Timeless classic we all remember growing up with these

Love a defender me
Me too I love a defender too me mate
@@EVILGT found ye! #Ben&Lee
I was hoping one day you would have one of the greatest vehicles ever made on your channel, great work 👍🏼
You should keep this as a daily Calvin! Proper country gent!
You will sell that defender !!! And it will run for ever till the body falls off telling ya !!
That defender body shell is made of aluminium will not rot!! Do your research I suggest!!!??
@@keen2b google galvanic corrosion and you will understand what happens to the bodies. Takes far longer than the steel bulkhead, chassis or crossmembers to rot out though 😂
@@keen2b rust like hell mine is going for it’s second set of doors.
The 110 shows its true self when you go off road
That Defender looks great.
It would clean up very well.
Strong enquiry for it, and fetch great money, as it did. 👍
The Defender 90’s always hold their value better when compared to the 110. They are also better to drive.
Us country boys love a landy. Hold their money👌🏻
My 23 year old Defender 90 300Tdi with 103,000 on the clock is worth double the price of a 2010 Full Fat Range Rover. Work that out???🧐
Who the hell would want to drive 170,000 miles in that haha
Lol
“THATS SOMETHING WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IN THIS VIDEO” I thought I was in trouble then.
Sammy had the van parked faster than you had the landrover turned. Ha ha.
Defenders rule! “Not the most attractive” 100% disagree..
Glad the landrover wasnt in trouble love the content Calvin
Poll for the mighty Defender
2007 DEFENDER 110
Or the CRAPY 2021 DEFENDER
Let me know in your reply
My opinion is the 2007 😉😁
There's another 100k in that Suzuki... just put the radio on and ignore the rest
Sounds like it’s about to sling the piston through the bonnet
Despite the complaints about these Defenders people are paying a fortune for them ,I know personally
when 4 cars dealers offered me the most rediculous money for my short wheelbase and I could not refuse the final offer as ive got two others.Compared to what I paid for it and what they offered from dealers was mind blowing!
Its actually pretty cool. Digging the color freshness
Ford owned JLR for a bit (between when BMW owned them) - hence the transit engine :)
The intro mortgage was smooth
Dont quote me but i think the play in the steering and lack of feel is designed into them for off roading incase you hit large objects with front wheels ie big rocks and steering wheel doesnt jar out of your hands ,thats what i was tol by my sons mate who owns first gen Disco with same chassis

Yes calvin, I demand my 5% of the screen back. 😅 love the variety of cars on here at the mo. Everyday average joe cars and some gems here and there.
Great buy at least you can fix a landy without a pc and the right model can still out
tow most things
Most iconic vehicle ever built and increasingly valuable since they stopped building the proper one.
Brilliant car..was after one myself with a 20k budget but couldn’t find a decent one so bought a house instead 🤦♂️😂
Excellent, thank you Calvin! Not want to be a smart you know what, but 80inch Land Rover debut 1948 at the Amsterdam Motor Show. Great industrial diesel sound there :)
best car ever made
Defender's are quality and worth silly money 👍
Love the Defenders
I'd check out that Defender as it looks a bit shadey. Thats too much a Puma (post 2007) than TD5, unless its running on old plates
The Puma came in 2007 so not shady at all. TD5 finished in 2006 last plates on 56
Love a defender, would of towed that vitara easy. Good content, I love how you give hints an tips on the trade.👌
I was just about to lose it , but you showed the real banger.

It's not a facelift it's pretty much a completely different car. Still well old fashioned but everything under the body was brand new.
I’d love to have the spare quids to buy that defender man. Yeah you said it was a bit poor, but. In a way it’s pretty cool. Closest thing to a G wagon I guess , for everyday man budget… cool vid 👍

"Teamed up with Ford"? Mate, Ford OWNED LR!
Yeah ford put the stupid puma engine in it gave it the bulge and the sold it to Tata who have done much better than ford could do
@@danielmccrory3532 Tata know to just sign the cheques and let JLR get in with it.
Ain't nobody watching this thinking that defender is a banger!! Decent motor..
You should keep it those things are awesome off road 👍👍
Rather have the defender
Love banger of the week😎
The window at the top is called a safari window
alpine light
We had two cars in work the land rover and a Cavalier , guess what the land rover was constantly off the road, the Cavalier just rumbled on for ever.
Best car ever. My channel shows the daily life of living with one
Electronic handbrake sounded like my paper shredder
The defender has been around since the 80s,the series 1/2/3 were before
Haha, love how the electronic handbrake sounded like a hairdryer 😂😂
I do actually love Land Rover it’s all I’m driving for the rest of my life my Land Rover defender 90 is a beast of a car and also my Land Rover discovery td5
People do love a defender
Lovely lovely car 🚘 depender is just awesome ❤
Land Rover, it’s usually where isn’t the smoke coming from.
Awesome video my friend.
Another great vid Calv 💪🏻

That’s suits you Calvin!!! Proper motor! Still a classless car..
Would be a cool restoration project
One on a forecourt near me. £35K
I cant drive Defenders without my right elbow hitting the drivers door window...
Second thing you do in a defender is wind window down.
@@mradriankool after fitting a smaller steering wheel.
Nice windscreen washer jet repair
Big end bearing or timing chain
dont know why people bang on about them so much. they're shocking to drive, terrible economy, steering is wank, heaters dont work, its unrealiable and its as comfortable as getting a colonoscopy with a broom handle. there's plenty that can rival it off road too.
Not the first land rover breaking on the channel :D

Yas early again, Calv is smashing though let's be fair
If it hasn't got spiders, it isn't a real Defender.
In the next episode of diary of a car trader...I stalked the driver until he ran out of petrol and now I own a J reg MK2 Golf! Calv, what's the latest on PoD and the M3 Tourer project?? C'mon bruh, give us a little something!
All I can say is good things come to those who wait 😜
Smoke coming from a Land Rover is usually an electrical fire🔥
It looks like there's a bolt missing off your AC bracket.
Do a video on the audi s5
Hope Samy has managed to park the van by now!
Love it.
That was a good appraisal they are bloody awful to drive but not as bad as you think.
Do a draggy time in the defender lol
I was trying to buy that defender!!!
Think the older Defenders looked better. Something wrong about a Defender with alloys. I'm sure it will sell for strong money.
Calvin when are them braces coming out. It’s like you’ve got kitchen cupboards in your mouth. Loving these vids about the runnings of the dealership. Keep it up 👍🏾
Let me know if you still have it I have a project for it 👍🏻
Is the electronic handbrake aftermarket
Put vitara in Co part non runner
ford owned jaguar and landrover when this landrover was built,hence the ford engine
Looks like a quality vid and I haven’t even watched it yet 😂😂😂
Sorry but I love it, if have that over a fancy bmw any day !!
Sick bro my friend has the same but older turbocharged
Hi calvin why are used car prices rising so quickly. I have seen a few cars at local garages go up by up to 1K, cheers.
I thought I was the only one who realised
Been looking at a mk6 golf now and a decent one is 5k😳 before lockdown you could’ve got these for 3k
Total madness if only we knew
Kalvin what is that song when yur bass drops when yu show the Suzuki. I wanna listen to it full
Love land rover defender
Can you do a review on the 415BHP TT you have for sale???@
