Wingstoo, you love them, good for you mate. I'm not knocking you for it, nor I think would anyone else. All anyone is talking about is other options that may suit them better, and the reasons why that's the case.
Regards the '70%' comment though, well, I can't let that one go, Triggers broom mate. Triggers broom.
I remember getting a 1971ish (it was a long time, over 20 years ago, so forgive my memory) landy in for an MOT. Sounds fantastic. In reality though, the only part of that truck to have seen the early 1970's was the windscreen and I think one axle, and that was the owners own words!
As for recalls mate, I remember the 2009 one for the Defender where a wrongly fitted oil seal on the transfer box could contaminate your brake linings, leaving you with no brakes. It's not exactly the only Landy recall ever, so if you're going down that road mate I don't see the point.
End of the day, it's all about enjoying what you have, and making sure it's right for you.
