Having owned one for several years when living in the Peak district down and down an unmade road, I cant for the life on me think of why anyone would ever want such a crude badly made heap of junk as an old Land Rover. Mine wasnt even that good in deep snow several times ending up with its belly on a drift and all 4 wheels spinning. Not to mention the diesel freezing and having to light a small fire underneath to get the ***** thing going. 18 mpg, top speed 60mph, rattled like an old can of dried peas, bone shaking ride, Several times had to be rescued by a neighbour using his tractor
Replaced by a Subaru which was no better in snow but way better the rest of the time. There is a reason why farmers switched wholesale to Jap 4x4
