Interesting comment DAC364. Discovery 2 vs Defender 90 would be an interesting challenge. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

I guess a 90" would win on gaps, but the D2 is a fantastic tool off road and far more comfortable with it. Most Defender drivers would retire exhausted before a D2 driver! Td4 XS manual, Orkney Grey, MY2014

I would avoid... ive been told lots of them have terminal chassis rot...

I had a 99T GS for 9 years. Never let me down but number of issues.
Sun roofs such leaks but ignore Internet advice on drain tubes as new seals fix the bad leaks
Unit injector £500+fitting
Coolant loss - caused by plastic dowels!
Air suspension bags
But still miss it. Low range got us out of farm campsite up track in deep snow. Air suspension keeps level when towing. Good roadholding for 2ton. FL2 11 S Black 😂

September's LRO has a 6 page guide to the D2 if you're still interested. I haven't got the issue so can't tell you what it says, but it should be worth a look.
