Modern LR Defender 90 - easy to live with?
Discussion
Hi all,
Have a bit of a car shuffle at the moment and wanted to consider something for the "utility" side of life.. Want to be able to go green laning, pay and play sites but also something that will take me, the Mrs the dog and all our gear away for the weekend.
I have always liked and quite fancied a LR Defender 90.. But my only hesitation is what would it be like using it for a long journey? the odd trip to customers etc
Are the modern 2002 onwards vehicles much better than those of old?
Are they easy to modify for any improved performance? diesel tuning etc? soundproofing?
What is the realistic mpg from a diesel 90? or should i consider a cheaper to buy V8 and go the lpg route?
As you can see, lots of questions so any advice greatly welcomed
Cheers
Nick
