This is a dangerous thread .. it got me looking at Range Rovers and then latterly Defenders on fleabay.. ;D
At which point I hope you realised that actually the Omega isn't quite as ruinous to run as you first thought ;D

;D ;D Pretty much! Amy's Dad has a (relatively nice) Defender and I have a soft spot for them - but I probably wouldn't buy one unless (like him) I knew a specialist who did work ridiculously cheaply..

Though I did see one that was originally a RAF Landy now sitting on a galv. chassis with what must have been a brand new body too - looked quite nice, if a little bit like Triggers broom! ;D

And I bet I could prove the pair of you wrong, there will be at least one cylinder down on power by about 30%....and cam timing will be out.

Its an inherent design fault with them on the cams, followers and chain drive.

As they are an 8 they mask the issues very well ut they will be far from thier best (not that they ever were brilliant)



trust me mine is firing on all eight equally .. i have the fuel bill to prove it!! :y

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Defenders are hard work in the cold much better to sit on a heated leather seat :y
