  • but that isnt a standard defender :P but its still cool

  • i liked the tdi's and td5's more.

  • "75% of all Defenders ever build are still on the roads" --- as many as 25% made it back home then?

  • We actually got quite a lot of those driving here in Denmark .. and we even got no mountains and only few hills, Denmark is so flat - even though: Theres a lot of farms in this country, and lots of people own eigther HORSES or BOATS - Denmark has over 8000 km. of coastline, and have had "farming products" as our biggest export for decades.

    And then add the harsh danish weather - rain, snow, storm..

    Those may be the reasons & factors, the Defender is so well sold i the DK !

  • No la cambio x nada

  • Awesome

  • it is the greatest. I mean how few autos hold their value like a defender? 1995 defenders in the US in great condition could go for 30k +. they will go anywhere.

  • effin awesome!!! Might just be better than my '96 Disco....

  • cant we this car on normal road?...dude im just 16....llolx :p

  • my dream car

  • iceland?

    

  • He quite obviously doesn't know very much about off road driving in a 4x4 vehicle, I've had old Isuzu Trooper LWB, Nissan Patrol GR, Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 Di-D, Land Rover Discovery Mk3 and now my 2nd Nissan Navara double cab, all of these vehicles would have done this and more.

    PS I work in construction and forestry so do it all the time.

  • I found out how to get Defenders (including diesel models that get x2 the fuel economy) available in America!!! Step 1: Register to vote. Step 2: Vote for Ron Paul who would then deregulate the market, thereby getting rid of regulation requirements on airbags. Step 3: Once he deregulated the markets, go on down to your local Land Rover dealership and say, "I'd like to buy a Defender please."

  • @RyYajn

    You do realize US Presidents aren't emperors, right? No one man is going to de-regulate the market.

  • 1:24 wtf?

  • @mazerhat Lol...I know, right. That thing is badass!

  • OMG!  I want one!

  • land rover defenders are hands down one of the best 4x4's in history

  • they have ford diesel engines?

  • @koteshub yes mate start of the end .. one of the greatest engines ever built is the 2.5 ltr 300 series engine which started its life in the discovery .. and has been sought after ever since.. always starts never a problem and strong as you could ever want... why don`t landrover rebuild the 300 series again ????  as every owner wants one at some point..

  • @bricklayerchannel globalization, what can one say.. i'm hunting for defender90 with td5 but seems like nobody wants to sell one :-) cheers and good luck

  • Is it only me that think this looks like a smaller version of American School buses? You know the yellow ones?

  • THE DEFENDER HEF 6 GEARS :p

  • thumbs up if you want a 50 year warranty

  • one of the best videos i have see!!!!!!

  • import to united states

  • COOLEST CAR EVER IN EXISTENCE, much better than that hummer rubbish!

  • @NerfZoo If you use the word "rubbish", chances are you're going to support a vehicle made in England.

  • @NerfZoo Anyone who uses the word "rubbish" is obviously not qualified to give an objective opinion about another vehicle sold outside their country.

  • This is best video on LR Defender! I have one, it is my second LR Defender...and it can do things which while attempting in other Offroaders - I will think twice except Landcruiser 70 and 80 series. If your life depends on an Offroader I will take Landcruiser 80 series anytime out - to meet the Challenge !!

  • what bout a jeep rubicon?ther jst as good except difernet engine in the U.S..

  • These Defender's aren't available to the U.S. is it?

  • @Racr4Lyfe apparently they are supposed to be starting to export them into north america again starting in 2011, but you can still order them from europe and ship them to north america

  • hummers chelsea tractor defenders are the best 4x4 on the planet and that is an understatement !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • u can see some hummer clips on youtube to get some experience of what an off road 4x4 should be like like.

  • it can't challenge the HUMMER specially the H1...land rover can be in the rank 2-10 of the best off road 4x4 in thw world, but it can't be the first....like the HUMMER or the HUMVEE..hummer is a fully off road..

  • @ashley260590 Yeah... Try to squeeze a Hummer on a tight spot! Like a Trial course with trees and stuff! Thats why the Defender is one of the bests, if not the best, off roads! Plus! To drive a Hummer you have to bring a tanker truck filled with gas to refuel every 10 miles!!!

  • @Ierathel85 very true LR better in my opinion

  • its not the best off road

  • @ashley260590 yes it is

  • @JoshHurdissHall it can be the rank second but not the first!!!!!!!like i'm saying, it can be "defender" but can't defeat "hummer or humvee".

  • Just want to introduce a blog I am building for Landrovers. It's going to be like an online maintenance manual with How To Guides to Repairing your Landrover.

    Please take a look @ repairmylandrover.co.uk

  • On the road it would be rubbish? FUCK OFF!!! Knowing that whatever you crash into will come off worse? Now thats a feeling you only get in a defender

  • I like the way he's so scared about going downhill at 1mph on gravel!!

  • My goodness, the scenery here is spectacular. Anyone know where it was filmed?

  • @graciousSenor Iceland

  • The vehicle used in this episode is a hybrid,not the production Defender.Items like the arches,modular rims,tyres and lifted suspension are not factory options.The engine is also likely to be non-standard.Sure you can buy and fit the aftermarket parts,but this episode gives the impression it comes like this from the factory.LR are nuts to add electronic techno bollocks to the defender,it needs to be left simple and rugged so when it fails in the middle of nowhere it can be easily repaired.

  • @silver760 Not sure quite how you can call it a hybrid..

  • 5th gear is like Top Gear but gay

  • @alexsuchapimp Top Gear is like 5th gear but for retarded people.

  • Comment removed

  • The only TRUE 4X4 car on the market

  • lol far from standard though!

  • @timsurftim A loooooooooooooooooong way from a standard defender.The give the impression that particular vehicle comes from the factory like that,eeerrrr,no.

  • i love my defender, never let me down! got me up things i never thought i would get up

  • I love LAND ROVER its simply matchless off roads

  • Give me a defender over a land cruiser anyday.

  • TCB1468

    /gl/en/lr/defender/

    Now I hope you can find it

    after you reach the web site add that to your address bar

  • TCB1468

    /gl/en/lr/defender/

    Now I hope you can find it

  • The one in the video seems to be heavily modified. Dont be so quick to bad mouth the capabilities of other SUVs; there are some pretty competent SUVs out there that could match the LRD off the showroom floor. But as far as classic, purpose built even prestige ... this takes it.

  • @MechanicaUnlimited Nope you can buy them like this. You say weather your using them for the roads or for off road, this you won't find in the road section.

  • @fresky74 this is why he states that if your buy's one to offroad spec they cost £19000 or more, but to buy a road one I've seen them priced at £9000 and these are the ones to see getting stuck in the mud. not every Land rover is built to go off road some are built to go pick up your kid's from school.

  • jeep like that and wheels like those can get u from no where to some ware .i got the same thing and i dumped my girl friend for telling its crap ....... dats the feeling u got drive one and feel the difference

  • defender is most angly car i see !!!

    why ppl get this grup car ?

  • @andreass34 cuz the feeling off road is immense u cunt!!

  • like the fact that its a puma with what appears to be portal axles in iceland best 4x4xfar as ever even if the lump is a transit

  • Where exactly was that video shot at? I love the terrain. Makes me wish we had that type of terrain here in AZ or even CO.

  • @Warpshift

    This is shot in Iceland. the Defender is on 38'' modified in Iceland.

  • IF U GO TO MY CHANNEL THERE IS A VIDEO THAT I ADDED TO MY FAVOURITES BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE IT, ITS A LANDROVER GAME THAT I THINK IS VERY VERY GOOD, ESPECIALLY CUS ITS HOME MADE, JUST CLICK ON MY ACCOUNT TO VIEW IT...

  • They do sell them in the states, go to there website

  • @imn2money

    Are you sure I just went to the website and didnt find it?

    Please respond because i really want one of these.

  • @TCB1468 If you are in the America you wont find them there, but I think you could probably import one from the UK, if you can.

  • why dont they sell these in the states?

  • @McKenzie3000 they did in the early 90's but no one bought them. the only person who would buy 1 of these is someone who needs an off road vehicle for their job or they live on a big farm or theres alot of snow or something. they suck on the road you wouldnt want to drive 1 on the road

  • will water get in the car if you go a little too deep

  • how much it costs?

  • TOP GEAR!!!!!!!

  • why do we have to put up with adverts before watching something

  • why do we have to put up with adverts before watching something

  • I want one of this! Pleeeeaaaseee!!! (smiles)

  • can't wait to buy one in 2011. Bring it on!

  • @peanuts2105 Yeah man! I'm also getting my little Defender in 2011.

  • does anyone know what size tyres and wheels this beast run?

  • @savvas90 38inch dick cepek mud country tyres on mach 5 rims - probably 15 inch

  • @landrovermad13 thanks a lot!

  • what the hell is up with his hair???

  • Are which mounted Defender will get you too any corner of the Earth, had all types of 4x4 been all over the top end of Australia were 80 % of the work I do takes me were there is no roads with the work I do and found in the 16 years of working in Northern Australia the Defender is the best 4x4 for the job i do.. I use the 130 defender for my work..

  • I HAVE ONE :-) Very Nice Vid & Comment!

  • I WANT ONE!!!

  • defender or series ..........the best 4x4 ever made

  • Land rover is a legend, toyota uhmmmm

  • Land rover DEFENDER rules.............

  • I don't think so

  • i love this car. is better that a land cruiser

  • I don't think so either.The defender is the biggest heap of crap ever made, british engineering at it's best. I have 563,000 miles on my LANDCRUISER, would like to see a defender doing that.

  • @THEIRISHALFAHOLIC

    Defender 500k miles? easy mode...

  • land cruiser

  • rubicon better ???

  • NO!

  • not a good off-road driver !

  • I HATE ADVERTISEMENTS ON HERE!!!

  • The axels are not good! break easily.

  • Defendere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Coolest car EVER,yes thats right EVER!!!

  • @70Mack hell no.

  • great. so real, just what it's like! nice filming as well!

  • Iconic.

  • tiny[dot]cc/doherhole unreal , you will see.

  • What womens do understand about cars?

    They only understand about L'oreal shampoos and shopping. They don't even know how a engine works...

  • That's the dumbest comment I've ever heard!! lololololol

  • @lusomanada well in Australia we have do some female mechanics and quite a few motor engineers that do know maybe it's different in Portugal.

  • @lusomanada but they can tell if its shiny..... tut tut

  • @lusomanada speak proper english

  • It may be a better Jeep but it is not a better Land Rover!

  • There known as a 4x4, not a jeep, and plus Land Rover's are better than any other 4X4!!!!

  • @daverave2204 Land Rover's may be better than other 4x4's when they work but that is not very common. The Mercedes G class would be my choice if it was the end of the world and I had to get away from the zombies.

  • @daverave2204 Give me a G class over this any day.

  • hmmmmmm ther a 5 cylinder diesel, 'TD5'

  • I wish these were available in North America.

    I'd buy one in a heart beat if they were.

  • As far as I know it went like this...Series I, Series IIA, Series IIB (forward control), Series III (plastic grille), Stage 1 V8. All these were leaf-sprung. then the coil-sprung models started with the 110 and 90, before the Defender range began.

    I´m disregardind military models such as the 88" Lightweight, the 100" 101, the 109" Santana Ligera, etc. The Range Rover came out in 1970 but we had to build our own coil-sprung Series Landies until around 1982/3, when the 1st coilers came out.

  • I dont think defenders are that slow are they??? s1, 11 and 111 were just called series 1 landrover not series 1 defender i dont think they had another model til after s3 then along came rangies i think

  • the only issue i have with my defender is the "for the love of god" fucking retarded wheel stud pattern !!!!!!!!!

    i really hope that this is changed in the next generation defender.

  • So few wannabees ever get past 'starry eyes' & armchair Landrovers. Pity so few experience rugged dependability in abusive conditions, not just parking on grass verges; these sloggers professionally go to unspeakable places towing more than their own weight behind them thro all sorts of filth and hardship. Often brutalised to get a tough job done - they'll then take you home to watch telly or sumthin.. They usually get badly stuck only when far beyond common sense. Lived with one for years...

  • Someone should explain to her that there were no Series 1, 11, or 111 Defenders. Bless her.

  • there were no series 1's ???

    are you on crack?

    and she said nothing about series 11 or 111 ???

  • @Del360T What on earth are you on about. The Defender hasn't always been known as the defender. It was only because of the Discovery it had to have a name in the first place.

    Land Rover Series 1 1948-1958

    Land Rover Series 2 1958-1961

    Land Rover Series 2a 1961-1971

    Land Rover Series 2b 1967-1971

    Land Rover Series 3 1971-1985

    Land Rover Ninety & One Ten 1983-1990

    Land Rover Defender 1990 Onwards

  • im sure its 5 cyl the td5 was 5 cyl

  • i still like the 200 tdi noisy powerful lo

  • the 200 tdi is apparently the best engine to go in the defender. Noisy but who cares, I dont!

  • dont you mean 5 cylinder puma engine

  • no it's a 4 cylinder 2.4 ford puma engine

  • land rovers are the best car in the world ever made and the best off roder to.

  • i have to argue with you on that.

    freelanders pre td4 gave terrible and repetitive head gasket problems. discovery had terrible terrible braking unless uprated and both had unreliable electrics and soft wheelbearings for offroad vehicles. however i found the defender to be ultimately different and better.

    from an owner of 5 discoveries and 1 freelander.

  • yeah but here it is a land rover defender not a discovery or freelander and land rover defender is 1 in worlds beast off road car

  • I hate this dude... doesn't know shit about these things.

  • hes got something weird going on with his forehead tan at the end

  • yep i had one for 7 years! it went wrong and even had a serious crash but still kept on going, seriously i crashed it into a post at 40mph and it still drove off badly damaged but not immobile like my audi which had a collision with a wall a few months ago and ended up as a write off

  • @drjakson1

    i think someone needs to take your keys away from you!

  • hey he has the wrong land this is for antartic hahahaa

  • now is that stock?

  • If only, hahahah.

  • Comment removed

  • That means that you are a land rover yourself.

  • hmmm not really. i see your point.. but performance wise they arent any better than landies. but if you just look apart from performance, land rover generally is a better car technique wise..

  • Don't underestimate the technique from the Japs... ull be suprised... ''You can't kill a Toyota...''

  • that;s true, but that fucking thing, as soon as it starts to rust anywhere, it just ROTS away.. cant have that with a defender since its aluminium mostly.

  • Yeah, LC's arent from aluminium, but they don't rust that easily... or else they wouldve thrown them out the production

  • Fuck off, Land Cruiser's are big heaps of Japanese shite!!!!!

  • they use it everywhere

  • that is a land rover defender not a land cruiser and they are worlds best cars

  • I have one. Have a look at my vids - mine's a 1985 90. I love it!

  • a cool car? ok i admit it has improved a little bit compared to the old one such as the interior and it's good off road, but most people buy them for ON ROAD! and i don't see the point as it's crap on road

    sorry land rover.

  • is this in the vid the stock version? does anybody know?

  • @SlimJ1992 sadly no

  • That is far from a standard defender. They are great off road but still have poor build quality and are way over priced. Iv worked on many of them and although im a fan im not blind to there many faults. Its no coincidence that many farmers are now buying japanese pick-ups and not land rovers. They are far cheaper, more reliable and far more room in the back than a 90.

  • 28 mpg is ok!

    are u kidding im luckky i get 13 mpg with my chevy blazer

  • well thats cos your american obviously or canadian...my car does 58.6 mpg!

  • what car u driving?

    a hybrid?

  • no just an ordinary automatic europian 2.3 litre ford mondeo...

  • then how do u get so much mpg?

  • it's not that much mpg! anyway i drive carefully!

  • but thats soo much i get liek 18 on the highway driving at 65 with cruise control

  • howcome? what car do you drive?

  • 1996 chevy blazer

    my mom use to drive it and by drivign liek an old person she got liek 250 miles average out of the tank

    now im 17 and have a heavier foot

    so i get like 210 ish in summer and latley like 180 ish in the winter(running it real cold)

  • erm...ok...why don't you sell it and get a ford explorer, escape hybrid or an escape...also ford now do a crossover called the edge, and it's faster than the bmw x5 by 2 seconds in a 1/2 mile drag race.

  • because the car is worth only 2500 and im 17 and have to pay for the insurance and the gas, a new car is not in the budget

  • well if you wash it and hover it and sort out the engine oil it would be worth a bit more...plus you dont have to buy a big car again, you can buy like a second hand ford fiesta zetec S or something...thats what id do...
