One point re tyres - Harry (of Harry's Garage) had a Defender 90 on long term test. He put it through some extreme off-road exercises as well as using it extensively on the farm. His conclusion was that the standard tyres were perfectly adequate for his usage on the farm plus a bit and that the full off road tyre option was an extravagance that could be avoided.

I have run 3 x Discovery's on Pirelli Scorpion Zero now and never had a problem. As a compromise M&S / road tyre, they have proven to be excellent. However my most extreme tests are heavy snow and towing a 3T horse trailer out of a muddy field.
