Thanks, I will give it a go.

I fitted a new battery on Sunday and now my mirrors have stopped folding when I lock the car. My one stop driver window has stopped as well.

The sound of the 90 V8, love it. I used have the mud tyres on my 90, awesome off road but tram line on the slightest bit of uneven tarmac.

When I see the new Defender tackle off road tracks like this, then I will believe it is more than a flash 4x4 🙂

RR Sport needs the cab off for any exhaust manifold work, must cost a fortune if you can`t do it yourself.

Also the electric seat problems that happen on the RR and Discos.

I am sure it sounded great, I would love a V8 in anything. I know a guy who stuck an LS3 into his 110, sounded awesome.

I used to own a Land Rover Lightweight like this. i bought it in Manchester and drove / had towed back to Belfast. Mine had the original petrol engine. Our daughter who lives in the USA was driving a GMC dual wheel pickup like the one attached.

I tried again using a video I found on youtube and now Spotify is working via bluetooth as is Apple music. The sound for a standard system is very good.

I am in Northern Ireland and full fat RR and Land Cruisers are still very big, an F150 would cause a roadblock on some of our roads 🙂. The LC maybe bland but it is reliable, unlike most Land Rovers,................

I had the 3.2 - 6 speed and thought it would be as comfortable as a normal 4x4, it wasn`t. The longest I drove it was 100 miles and I was knackered. The Hilux while not as powerful was like a pair of old slippers. It did everything I needed and it was lazy and comfortable. Also i never got stuck off road. The bed in the back of any pickup is great for feed and hay but nothing long unless you can stick out the back. The back seats are crap and in my case only used for the dogs. My wee yeti goes off road and will do for now but my plan is to buy a 100 or 200 series Land Cruiser with a V8 diesel, not because i need it but because I like big trucks. 🙂

Not very nice at the back, I hate the silver bumper panels that all manufacturers add to their 4x4`s. I priced up a 110 Defender with the 200+ bhp diesel engine and it would cost approx £75k 🤯 crazy money.

I Like pickups and had a Hilux and a Ranger. The Ranger bounced about like a pogo stick and needed a lot of weight in the back to settle it, the Hilux was much more comfortable and wasn`t bouncy. I would love a drive in the new Defender but wouldn`t be buying one due to all the electrical problems LR`s seem to suffer from. I would rather get one of these;

I know about vat and accountants as we have our own business. I don`t ask questions about their personal wealth and don`t care what they have stashed away. I am lucky to be allowed on their land to detect.

Not many farmers over here (NI) buying RR or new Defenders. I am out on farm land every weekend and all I see are L200`s and Rangers. I hope the new Defender proves more reliable than the Discos.

£60k for a Defender 🤯, I can`t see many farmers spending that to get a 4x4. I think I would wait for a while as I am sure there will be lots of electrical gremlins ready to spoil your purchase. I know someone who bought a new Disco Sport and the first car was replaced as it was so unreliable and the replacement has allowed him to try out all the dealers loan cars - it has had so many problems.

Thanks I have had some new ideas to try, if they don`t work I will be in touch.

This is my head unit.

Thanks I will have a look at the card I used. I thought I could have used Bluetooth to send the music to the head unit but that doesn`t work either. Either cd`s or the radio.

I tried but it still won`t work.

I had a search and couldn`t find any information. My Yeti is a 2013 110bhp 4x4 Elegance. I tried the aux socket in the armrest but it doesn`t work, is this a common problem and how do I gain access to it? Also I tried an SD card but it doesn`t work either, msg reads not able to read it? I would like to use a usb flash drive with my music on it or Spotify. Thanks. Dave

I had a 1990 Defender, it looked great but wrecked my back and at 6`5" jammed me in like a sardine. Most new LR`s now seem to suffer from lots of glitches, so the new one will never be for me.

I realise this is an old post but just tried this on my car and they folded, many thanks.

I have a 4x4 Yeti (2013), used for going metal detecting, so far it hasn`t got stuck.
