Disco Matt:
My advice would be to find a good Discovery instead. I realise in standard form the Defender is more capable but the Disco is a much nicer machine for day to day use. One of the local LR specialists is in the process of swapping his 110 hard top (has hydraulic winch and BFG M/Ts) for a 200 TDI Disco as a work truck. He just finds the Disco warms up quicker and doesn't suffer from as many leaks or drafts as the 110, apart from the greater elbow room and better seats.

The Defender has better elbow room? Or a Disco?
I drove a friend's Disco and kept banging my elbows on stuff - they're surprisingly cramped for such a big vehicle (which is another reason I bought a Freebie - more room in the cabin).
And err... how much does he want for the 110? :drool:

neither!!!!! they both have rubbish elbow room, get a rangie, i never have problems with elbow room yet i get in my mums disco and bang my elbows all the time
Dr.Ed:
disco has more elbow room (traditional way to get enough elbow space in a defender is to roll the window down!), and more knee room!
defenders are significantly more expensive that equivalent age discos - 2-3x the price.
as with any landie you're looking for leaks and rust, disco rusts on its inner wheel arches, door sills and boot floor, defender is renowned for rusting on front bulkhead, nots sure where else...
