I have to say i love landies, but the series kind not the car derived junk that landrover now build for townies to take their kids to school in... Series landies are basic but cheap and easy to fix, and are guaranteed to go places where most jap 4x4's wont go...

Freelanders are an insult to the landrover name, discovery int much better, once you buy one of these you discover why that it wont go on mud very well. at the end of the day the first landrovers were basiclly tractors, they even had a pto shaft out the back to drive implements, we ran a saw bench and pulled a cockpheasant with a sIIa.

Can't slate jap 4x4's never really put mine to the test, But while working on farms in kent the boss of a farm i worked on had a swb landy to pull a cattle trailer, they loaded 3 cows in to the trailer and the landy got stuck in field. the bosses son had little Suzuki jeep, he got a chain hooked jeEp on front and pulled the landy and trailer out. much to our amazement...

I know of another farmer who had a Dihatsu four track, he pulled a 3 furrow run around plough with it, never would have believed it if i had not seen it for myself...

So anybody can knock any 4x4 but the best ones to knock are Chelsea tractors, they dont get muddy, and if they want to impress their neighbours they go and buy a tin of spray on mud...
