Should I Buy A Land Rover Defender in 2021? Owners Review 

I know this doesn't apply to you but it makes me laugh when somebody buys a Defender, does all these modifications (leather, heated seats, AC, sat nav etc.) and then complains that the new Defender isn't like the old one. Enjoyed the video, fantastic looking Defender!

I love my TD5 110 CSW, it's pretty standard and fine as it is, ideal for the farm roads around here, carries dogs and tows trailers, I always look forward to driving it.

Ive had a 2014 Puma XS from new, its my daily drive, Ive just removed the rear seats, lots of extra space now.A nice easy way to stop people opening the rear windows is pop half a wine cork in between the window pinchy latch and secure it with a bit of blue tack. Paint the cork black and it blends in. To fix the leg room, Ive fitted some lifters on the drivers seat, but no one is going to sit behind me now as I have the full leather seats and they are bulky to begin with.

Loving the content mate, make me want to revive mine

Glad I found this video. I've got a 2013 mint black puma XS utility and love it. I was much like you...do i? Don't i? I did as I speculated they'd go up in price and I convinced myself that if I look after it then I should never lose money....but I've wanted one for years so was always getting it. I got it just before 1st lockdown and its my only car so a daily driver. Its so compromised in many ways but every time I drive it I smile. My biggest gripe? Like you I live in Liverpool and I worry about theft but can't let that dictate my life so I know I made the right choice. Don't sell yours buddy!

I’ve owned Defenders for twenty five years and treated myself to a new Puma 110XS in 2015, I love it to bits. The only vehicle I’ve owned that’s appreciated in value which is a bonus although I’d never sell it. I’ve also spent a fortune on additional security which is a pain but necessary.

Hi Kris, I love the wheels & tyres on your Defender! I've just bought a 110 and would love to put the same wheels & tyres on mine. Thanks very much!

Smart buy,one of the best of the British, never get out of fashion for 4WD vehicles. it's in a class of it's own. Please don't sell it Dude. God bless.

Very informative. Just got a new subscriber. Is it easy to maintain? The cost in states is astronomically high.

Lovely motor, I’ve got a td5 and I’m turning it into a car with heated seats, double din sat nav and lots of leather etc. pumas are great on the road but I think the td5 sounds better and is a lot more reliable. But both are great. Health to enjoy yours mate

It's possible that when the Ineos Grenadier becomes available, Defender demand will drop, and therefore prices. Just something to consider.

They are amazing. Stretched and got a 95 NAS SW in September last year, always around town, I have a Jeep for mud, but will never let it go!

Hi Kris, smart truck! - I'm looking at buying a 2011 XS, that has slight bubbling around the roof light like you - how much did the repair cost you / did you have any other bubbling? Thanks!

Getting my defender tomorrow Can’t wait Same sort of thing tho It’s so far away I just bought it and the garage are delivering it But it’s perfect an I no it will have flaws which I’m Prepared for Great video An lovely truck

It's a defender, they went up 31% last year and let's not forget Prince Philip has placed them on the waiting list. It's a keeper buddy!!!

Keep it it wont go down in price at all i still have my series 3 got it 10 years ago for £1200 and now worth £4500 in the state it's in fully restored will be £18K

Hi there, love your Defender. Can you tell me where your roof bars/rails are from? Thank you

good idea, ive been trying to think of a business i can start outside of my day job, so i can purchase a business 4wd and the business can buy it and mod it, and its a tax right off.... just tricky to pick the right business

Bought mine 1 week ago 2015 90 1400 miles,yes 1400!!!! Still getting used to it and all the comments absolutely spot on, off to Scotland with "Lily" on Sunday for fishing trip so will report back. In the meantime the 2018 A4 Allroad is NOT for sale!!!!!

I love my Defender. My only gripes are the turning circle (I’ve driven ships with tighter turning circles) and the heavy clutch. I did fit a stronger LOF clutch pedal spring that has gone some way to alleviating that problem.

Does anybody know what roof bars he has pushed to the back? They look really neat

I really love this I wish I can chance it

Hi kris, have a chat with luke at lof clutches, he sells the upgrade clutch pedal spring & master cylinder that will transform your defender. Great video & you've a great defender. Regards graham

Nice to see some as confused as me lol!.. ive never owned 1 but want 1 for similar reasons loved them from being a kid!.. Didn't know to go down the td5 or get puma for engine reliability.. I think definitely go up in price as time goes on! But do you spend 7k or bump out 30+ k.. just don't know? Will the td5 be worth more than puma 🤔

Ha ha. … I’m not complaining ….. enjoyed this review

Great video, love the tone! Probably cities will become difficult for defender owners when tougher climate regs come into force, so I think they might become the go-to car for the countryside again, where they will remain cult!

Love my heavily modified County XS 110 to bits.. Will drive it until petrol runs out! Could have sold it ten times over.. People have the same positive reaction to it in the same way they did to my old mk1 Lotus Elise. The new Grenadier on the other hand will simply not have the same impact.. as good as it probably will be, it's just not a Defender.. You can't replace an icon that easily. The new Defender is utterly forgettable.. sorry.. but on the road it has no presence..The Grenadier will do a better job in that respect.

Have you sorted the squeaky clutch? Any issues contact me (don't spray lube onto the pedal spring by the way!) Also, I found a great aftermarket heavy duty replacement spring that makes the clutch way lighter.

Defenders are awesome .. I have a 300tdi drive it everyday here in Sri Lanka . I don't like puma engine because much more complex to work on .

am not a fan of the new defenders but buying an old one and kitting out sounds an amazing idea

I’m always wondering why on such modified cars the spare will is still factory and not the actual mounted tires. In relation to the car and the modification cost this could not be a matter of money…

You need a sticker on the rear window that states every part that falls of this vehicle has been manufactured by Britsh engineering.

Which is it? Never hear you say what year? Puma I guess

Besides my 2011 Defender 90 I haven’t been in another, not even as a passenger. So I don’t really know how it compares. I do love driving it though and have no plans to sell it.

I own a land rover myself its a nice off roader.

Bubbling paintwork is what Defenders are I am afraid. Aluminium oxidization is the nature of the beast. I love my Defender. I can't count the number of times I have been approached by guys who want to buy it. The new Defender looks more like a Toyota Land Cruiser to me. Nice, but hasn't got the appeal of a real Defender. The 300tdi is the one in my book!

Our 2009 Defender 110 is now worth almost twice what we paid for it, which is crazy as it's done 210,000 kms. We've done some upgrades and use it to tow our caravan around Australia, which it does well. Because it's a workhorse I don't mind getting it dirty, but I do look after it. People stop me to ask about it. I came out of the shops in Brisbane to find a group of Chinese tourists taking selfies with our Defender in the car park! We won't be selling it. Why would we?

Can I get quotetion for this car?

The Defender has not been around since 1948. The Series 1 and 2 came before the Defender. The Defender is a relatively new car.

What you shoul do is sell and get a 2021 Defender 110 with 2500 miles from Urban for £76k +

I need it, how can I get it

I'm really interested on defender land rover. But I need to use in Africa and the road isn't very good. I need help for more details please?

The sole reason people buy the old classic defender is for that image/lifestyle that they want to project.

That model is far much better than the new one.. i wish it's production can be maintained for generations.... like jeep wrangler does.

"standing on the car' all the gwagon owners rolled their eyes.

Una pregunta, es fabricado en el año 2021 ?? Por favor me responde

YES - YOU CAN FIND FANTASTIC 2015/6 LAST OF THE BEST 110'S IN THE UK - OF COURSE THEY ARE NOW OVER 50 THOUSAND POUNDS BUT WORTH IT

My 5 year old pulls both back seats down on his own, I think you've made a drama out of that

فخامه روعه وتاريخ عريق

The rear door will start to leak over time as the spare wheel is quite heavy and pulls the door out at the top.

How much car

So you buy a Land Rover sight unseen and they complain about corrosion?

Yes you should buy one because they are the best 4wd ever built bar non

Please keep that car because despite the short comings, there's no car in the world better than defend. Michael

i just sold a 2005 90 Td5 csw for £16k it wasn't perfect by any stretch. I didn't even advertise it. just got approached to sell it

Combien prix svp

❤❤❤

these vehicles still look great, however its not until you drive one that you realise they are appalling behind the wheel on road.

Almost got one in96but went with disco1instead,Defender had no creature comforts!

Where is it manufactured? Help me on how i can do in order to buy land lover...😂😂❤

Its only worth what someone's prepared to pay for it not what others are listed at.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

and, keep it.

💥💥💥I really WONDER super HARD on this: WHY LR abandoned this body shape style ?? This Style on the vid 👆is MOSTLY VASTLY WAY MUCH MORE attractive and OFF road looking that the current 2023-2024 model. If you put them side-by-side, I bet over 90% of buyers would pick the style above in less than 5 seconds. I am actually glad Toyota is able to see this reality and is praying on it by coming up with some hints and condiments from this style above (VID) onto their most current deliveries. But yet,...there is NOTHING in today's market that resembles the APPEAL and lust this LR above is able to propel into our heart / souls / emotional. It just looks like a military / swat / army / tough tank, yet "light" and civilized British gentleman.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Keep it

Tread plates for posing, snorkel for snorkeling.

Who'da thought 2 extra seats would take up cargo space??

Áaaa😔😔😔.... Pena que não da pra entender nada ( aqui Brasil)

“Should I buy a Land Rover Defender in 2021?” It looks like you already have!

You really need a matching spare tyre. 🤣

I’m waiting for the Ineos Grenadier.

What ever keep it!!!

You should not sell it! Keep it!!!

i think if you want to get your money out of it now is the time to sell . i think when the new ineos grenadier comes out next year it will harm the prices of the defenders

I've always dreamed of owning a defender ,I'm 65 years old ,live in south Africa, I bought a 110 pickup ,how sad I am ,used all my savings to buy it ,alas I've been walking to work regularly, everyone tells me sell this piece of shit ,I still fight for my love for it ,😪,but I've had so much engine trouble ,overheats ,used so much money to try to get it just to drive me to work ,I so pray I could have enough money to buy a new motor ,please please I dont want to sell it

This is a car for individuals who spend a big part of there road journeies off road.

The new defender is not even near as good as the original one. You can't fix it's body flaws with a hammer anymore, you would avoid scratching it. Way overpriced as well. They should have renewed the original one and added security and safety features

I can cross the Atlantic with her defending Brazil

Can you afford to give me it or selling it to me at my affordable price.

adding luxury interior is pretty fruity! it’s a rough vehicle not for softy drivers 😂

It's absolutely not worth the money, but it's a British ikon and in demand, hence the price.

Keep it love it an get buried in it Iv got my 110 for life 😁

If anybody is thinking of getting a defender then he will get it anyway. They don't really cares about the negative sides of it.

One of the coolest looking trucks imo but I just don't trust Rover. Way too unreliable.

Off-load it whilst prices are high or convert it to an electric powered car.

Seems Kris may need to trade in this Defender for the latest Toyota Prius or some other soy machine... lol

It's a great truck. But please turn off that stupid music.

Had loads and would never waste my money on one again. Yes the value is going up but quality is still garbage. I'll stick with my Nissan elgrand 4x 4. 8 seats and I can get 8x4 plywood sheets in it. Clearly not as good off road, but 99 %of these defenders, as per this video, never go off road. And if this bloke thinks these are the best things ever off road, he's clearly never driven a unimog or a pinzgauer.

Road legal front numberplate 😆

Give it to me, buddy. I won't release it till death

No.

Never sell it!!

Todays LR owners are of two different types: that of the status wealthy soccer mom/Starbucks swillers and the true to form outward bound rough and tumbler who doesn't care about dents or scratches. If you're of the latter, don't buy new with all the bells and whistles. If you're the former, a douche, stick to a Merc.

Sell, Sell, Sell .... Ineos is coming soon

when you've bought a landrover defender the ONLY REAL TOOL is YOU.

sorry your accent does my head in

6 mins in and his voice became too much.

Stop moaning you have the greatest truck ever made.

I have seen defender i like it can I gate your whatsapp?
