10 Things I Hate about our Land Rover Defender 110 Hard Top

We were initially going to make it 110 things about our 110, but the edit was coming out at 14 hours and 26 minutes, so we decided to limit it to just 10.

WE’VE MADE A FOLLOW UP!! Take a look: https://youtu.be/ngBqKrObYPs?si=58lkx_K4Y7yzRcRd

We have two words in Australia for presenters with these grievances: "whinging poms". I enjoyed the presentation never the less! 😀

I've got a defender 110, and most of your points are bull shit.
-
As a general conclusion, you bought the wrong Defender. With a normal 110 model, you didn't have any of the mentioned problems. I don't understand why someone who buys something they don't need needs to make a video about it.

7:16 Actually, if you enable “ off road camera”, something that you would already do, sensors and beeps goes off

A CORRECTION: John does make one error in this clip when referring to 40MPH limits. The 40MPH limit is ONLY applicable to Scotland whereas the rest of the U.K. has a limit of 50MPH on single carriageways. To confirm: the Land Rover Defender Hardtop is taxed as a N1 Commercial. The limits do not apply to non commercial car versions of the Defender.

Most of these issues are due to the spec of this Defender. Interior storage without a jump seat is phenomenal, actually best in class. Also the jump seat is cliché and unnecessary in a regular consumer model, the vehicle is much better without that option plus you can get a mini-fridge in the center console! Sure its a tall vehicle and fuel economy is not great, I even lifted mine and put 33" tires on it so both points are exacerbated... but the Defender is LR's boxy off roader so these things are kind of expected?? It seams this this guy would be better suited by a minivan rather than an off road oriented SUV.
-
Well, most of the points you could've avoided by speccing your own car 🙂 And you can't blame the car for your speeding, really...

I had Disco 5 commercial and removed the bulkhead which allowed easier access and also allowed long lengths of timber to be straight-through loaded. Thanks for heads up on speed limit thang!… not good when it’s way to do 80mph in comfort 😜
-
Hullo, thanks for your review of the new Defender. It has been very helpful in making me decide that I will hang on to my, comparably agricultural, 2010 Defender 110 station wagon, until it dies (hopefuly years from now).
-
The problem is the steering wheel is on the wrong side!
-
Dude - funny stuff - so many serious people here.
-
Loving the editors note re: baddies 😅 Maybe it's a desirable for both?!
-
It’s not a van, more like a Truck! Mine is super high off the ground, with a 1.5 inch suspension lift so I can add the 33 BFG’s. It’s a beast offroad, Love it with over 24K miles and spec’s to my liking. Super comfy to drive, perhaps you need to change vehicles.

i think the adaptive cruise is very jerky on one bar proximity [practically drive into person in front and very slow to get going from stop] and the 360 camera system is gimmicky and actually rubbish in conventional view due to the fish eye view
-
46mpg to 50mpg - Out of a 3litre? Not in my experience - 40mpg if you drive like Miss Daisy, low 30's otherwise and sub 25mpg if worked. 29mpg seems pretty reasonable to me. The very much less powerful and quite considerably lighter old Defender in 2.2 Tdci form struggles to average 26mpg and that I suspect is at a lower average speed.
-
Always a pleasure watching your video's. My L322 3l MPG is 25 so the defender is a bit better
-
#5 Sensors - they're disabled in the off road modes !!

If you get some water you know the gear boxes down below that you were supposed to revise and fix---- get some water in one of those or any of them go back to the bank because they're gonna need a lot of shekels to fix what you just broke--- some gear heads think there the snorkels enough but it's not.
