I've just put a new clutch in my Defender. It's cost less than 100 quid in parts and zero for the labour. I really think that being able to keep your vehicle on the road yourself is the biggest deciding factor.

That is very true. Every conceivable repair or upgrade has masses of "how to" stuff online. And at the end of the day all you need is a box of spanners and a bit of your own time.
