Nice!
I run 7 of the bastard things in various guises (and a L200, 3 transits, 4 berlingos and a Unimog ) and I fecking hate the things. Nah, I'm lieing - I love em it depends on whats wrong with them at the time but I mostly love em. Get my 90 back today after the transfer box shit it's self. And in talks with LR about getting two more and a fully kitted out Mountain Rescue 110
Got to love the top line Evoque, Disco and RR Sport courtesy cars as well But I can't hate them enough to take em off road properly

Cheers baldy, think its putting out about 270 which doesn't seem a lot for a 4.5 v8 but its definitely enough for a defender....bloody animal of a thing it is to drive
Never thought about putting on the rollers though, might just have to arrange that
