The new Jimny being a petrol engine is compliant with most of the LEZ's that are springing up everywhere.

As is anything over forty years old, so old Land Rovers are safe.

However old Defenders are not compliant and because of this there's a lot of them on the market and prices have fallen.

l was speaking with someone the other week who lives in Sheffield, his 2012 110 is now costing him £10 every time he takes it off his drive.

Agree
Dealer/spares prices for working on the new Defender are frightening, try £4,000 to replace one headlight.

However the new Defender has already attracted an enthusiast following and there are alternatives coming through.

For instance Powerful U.K. are offering headlamps for less than 1/4 the Land Rover price, and l bought a part for mine last week which cost £200
LR wanted £850

There's now availability of the diagnostic tool, l've just ordered one and it enables you to get into the system and fault find/modify as needed.

LR want £150-250 just to plug it in to their system, for just over £400 l can now do it myself on my laptop.

Prices have definitely jumped back up again, WBAC are offering £25k for my gen4 auto, which is ridiculous for a 4 year old car.
