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.

there are so many products you can fit to a defender to tailor it to your needs, and lots of very good groups with helpful advice and offers of help  ;D

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.
