The 300Tdi In response to the rough and noisy 200Tdi, Land Rover developed the 300 TDi, maintaining the same cylinder capacity and power output as the 200 but with a complete redesign for smoother operation, quieter performance, and cost-effectiveness. The 300 TDi saw a new block, repositioned ancillaries, a redesigned cylinder head, and a single serpentine drive belt.

What is a grey market vehicle? According to Wikipedia -  Grey import vehicles are new or used motor vehicles and motorcycles legally imported from another country through channels other than the maker's official distribution system.

Grey import vehicles circumvent this profit-maximization strategy. Car makers and local distributors sometimes regard grey imports as a threat...

The Defender...   Looking at the New Defender, there are ever so slight homages paid to that Land Rover that is loved by many and became an icon around the globe.  As they say.. "Circles in Squares, circles in squares"  There is some truth in this.  But does it really pay true homage to the original Defender?   Watching videos online of the New Defender attempting to make its way up rocky inclines are at best cringe worthy.  While on...
