If you don't get the 4.4 it will always play on your mind! 2010 defender utility

Then try them both and you'll see the newer car is the one, although if you are after value there are some low miles VSE on 16 plates ( they are essentially the same car as a66 plate none MY 17) and they start around £66k.

What he said!! Handed back my 16 plate VSE this morning, and whilst my car looks better with the 22" the ride is a bit harsh compared to the 20" the loan car had. Also straight away I recognise the throttle response on the newer car is much smoother and not as jerky, but that's only because I've driven days back to back. I'd go for 3.0 personally. all smug in my new plug! 2021 Westminster Black D300 2013 Vogue SE - gone Some Porsche Cayenne guff pretending to be a 4x4!! 2006 Vogue 2004 Vogue 2001 Vogue |

A well known 405 specialist here would tell you to go for post 15MY model to avoid trouble from early ones.

If you need a tow bar, then you are likely to appreciate the 4.4.....

There's no better tow car in the Land Rover range than the Disco 4, which is a pretty heavy old girl and it uses the very same 3.0 tdv6 as in the full fat, with four hundred kilos more weight so it tows pretty well believe me. Is the 4.4 more powerful and quicker? Yes. Does this really matter in real world towing.....very doubtful. |
