The price of the new defender is in line with the price of the old defender in reality (be aware the ones out at the moment are the high spec non commercial ones to - the old Defender was far from cheap).

The new one is MUCH more capable over the rough stuff.....but then Lincolnshire is hardly a challenging terrain 

Clearly I have driven both the old series, defender and new defender a lot.........a hell of a lot........and over various terrain (including on rails).

You obviously don't know Lincolnshire very well.

I'm a fan of the Defender 110's versatility.

They are still building some..........Bowler ones with the uprated chassis and a 575bhp V8

I think we can rule out the snapped crankshaft theory!

Let's just put this to bed, Tigger. It's your money and it's your choice. Life is short, if you want it, buy it.

Just haggle enough of to cover the cost of replacing the engine... Quids in if it is just the battery

I think these could suffer with inlet manifold cracks. Maybe someone will comment.

I thought that some of the more mechanically minded amongst us might find the video interesting.

As fractures go, it's certainly impressive  Fair play to the bearing cap though, it obviously held the crank together enough to rotate the crank pulley as if nothing* had happened...

When rotating parts fail the results tend to be spectacular... Oops

*except for the God awful racket and driveabilty issues.

I did enjoy the video.    I used to enjoy rebuilding engines, and the satisfaction of hearing them run properly again, but I was limited to a block and tackle on a frame for lifting the engine out. I certainly didn't have the facility to lift the body off. 
I remember my uncle walking through my parents passageway and saying "That will never go again" after spotting an engine of mine stripped to bare block. My mum replied "Of course it will, he'll have that back on the road in a couple of days". 
That Disco sounded so sweet after the rebuild.

There was an article last week about Jeremy Clarksons Range Rover Rover TDV8 2007 model year which he has owned from new , requires both turbos replacing ( common fault around 120,000 miles) he said that he absolutely loves the vehicle and although it may seem silly he is willing to spend the £4000 he has been quoted. Mine is exactly the same engine & model year but my independent reckons he could do mine for just under £3000  if they ever fail, so be prepared for big bills..🙂

This company does it for £3000.
