I'm not really familiar with RR's but doing the research first before buying can help; some landowners we know in Bukidnon swear by their Land Rover Defenders over any other SUV in it's class and they really drive it to the ground (they also claim they have an easier time getting parts for their Defenders over parts for the LC's but i guess it's because of the connections). My bro's friend also uses a '97 RR diesel for off-roading (sans the air suspension) and he's happy (die hard bugger).
