Everything you already know about your Defender, January 16, 2003
By JAMES HIGBEE (Long Beach, CA USA) -
This review is from: You and Your Land Rover Ninety, One Ten & Defender (Hardcover)
A more appropriate title would be "A brief history of the Land Rover Defender." Don't expect any useful information if you already own a Defender 90 or 110. This book provides nothing but fluff and a few pretty pictures. For example, the chapter on modifications will tell you a tiny bit about roll bars, snorkels, winches, lockers, and skid guards, but WON'T tell you how to install so much as a shock absorber. Written and published in Britain, so if your steering wheel is on the left hand side this book will be all but useless to you.
