Not a Defender....Series 3, Stage 1 V8. So leaf suspension. Out with a 350lb alloy V8 and in with a 350kg cast iron V8, so just added a 3rd, 3rd leaf. Manual steering, so you do need to have had your wheetbix for breakfast..

And no, it didn't sink appreciably more than when it was petrol powered.

It does however throw entire tussock clumps a long long way when all three diffs are locked, wearing six chains and the engine is bouncing off the rev limiter in third low
