I have loads of videos off roading in mitsi's only ever got stuck once, I drove into the biggest pile of cow sh1te you have ever seen - seriously I couldn't open the door! I'll see if I can find a pic.

. So yes they were fantastic off road.

Anyway, Land Rover tackled the problem with a new headgasket design, which Rover never used. That's a common upgrade on Rovers/Elises/Caterhams etc, so old headgasket problems don't always mean new ones.

agree with the shogun comment, land rovers are proper shite next to them. I spent 2 days driving them both round the lake district. However for motorways id keep the golf.

The shogun made the defender feel really old and fiddly, the jap crap was much more enjoyable to drive.

All of the things a later Defender also has?

I agree with Steve, don't see the Army in Shoguns either

Col I liked your shogun ideas more. A freelander is not meaty enough, too round and mumsy.

Fuck it off.
